Description:

Dr. David Servan-Schreiber did not believe his oncologist when, after battling cancer through chemo and surgery, he was told there was nothing he could do to keep the disease from coming back. In this book he presents the results of his research into the correlations between risk of relapse and changes in diet and other health habits, as well as how hormonal and environmental factors participate in the overall equation. In addition to advocating smart decisions in the these areas, the professor of psychiatry points out that mental health can also play a role in healing--that positive thoughts and inner calm have been shown to go hand in hand with cancers staying in remission.

  • After undergoing chemotherapy and surgery for brain cancer, Servan-Schreiber, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, asked his oncologist if any lifestyle changes would prevent a relapse; the answer was no. Certain this was wrong, Servan-Schreiber spent months researching a mass of scientific data on natural defenses against cancer. After a lucid introduction to cancer and its causes, he points out studies indicating that a poor diet, unhealthy habits (like smoking), some hormones, and environmental toxins increase risk. But as his advice grows more specific, evidence dwindles that these steps work. Eating organic foods, avoiding red meat and processed food, and eliminating household chemicals seem reasonable, but readers curious about how much turmeric or garlic to consume and how much it lowers their cancer risk will find no answers. Servan-Schreiber also advocates a positive, life-affirming attitude, illustrating with anecdotes of patients whose cancers disappeared when they attained inner peace. Servan-Schreiber underscores that his advice should be an adjunct to, not a replacement for, conventional treatments like surgery and chemotherapy, in this spirited mixture of good medical information, helpful suggestions and alternative medicine.
