Anticancer

A New Way of Life

By: David Servan-Schreiber MD PhD

Narrated by: Robert Fass

The revolutionary New York Times best seller about powerful lifestyle changes that can fight and prevent cancer - an integrative approach based on the latest research.

An international phenomenon, Anticancer has been a long-running best seller in the US since Viking first published it in fall 2008. Now, this updated edition draws on the most recent clinical studies and offers more tips on how people living with cancer can fight it and how healthy people can prevent it. The new edition of Anticancer includes:

• More benefits of anticancer foods, including new alternatives to sugar and cautions about some that are now on the market
• New information about how vitamin D strengthens the immune system
• Warnings about common food contaminants that have recently been proven to contribute to cancer progression
• A new chapter on mind-body approaches to stress reduction, with recent studies that show how our reactions to stress can interfere with natural defenses and how friendships can support healing in ways never before understood
• A groundbreaking study showing that lifestyle modification, as originally proposed in Anticancer, reduces mortality for breast cancer by an astounding 68 percent after completion of treatment
• New supporting evidence for the entire Anticancer program

Critic reviews

“A common-sense blueprint for healthy living.” (Chicago Tribune)

“Fills an important gap in our knowledge of how patients can contribute to their own care by supplementing conventional medical treatment. I recommend this book to anyone interested in preventive medicine and integrated, complementary approaches to patient care.” (John Mendelsohn, MD, president, MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas)

“Resonating with cancer support communities...and recommended nationwide on internet message boards.” (Los Angeles Times)

The best

Cannot say enough good things about this book. You owe yourself the joy and knowledge of hearing this book .
update : keep listening over and over

Great effort to empower cancer patients and those who would avoid cancer!

Very comprehensive review and documentation of the knowledge base in this important holistic field. The data is limited but compelling and perhaps a common sense approach is the most appealing. I am a cancer physician with an established interest in natural healing methods yet I still learned new pearls from this book. Moreover, almost all of it is truly”timeless” and cannot go “out of date”.

Entertaining

This is the best book I’ve listened to on the subject of healing with cancer including content and storytelling.

Fantastic Book

The book should be read by all.. not just people who have cancer but by people who don’t want to get cancer… make the positive changes in your life so as NOT to get cancer …

Must have book

Great book. Easily explains cancer fighting foods, exercise and moods. Easy read. A lot of info from legit physicians.

Must read

Excellent book with multi-modal and faceted way of living to hopefully preserve a healthy life; avoid and fight against disease, not just cancer. It’s a very informative and inspiring book. I’ve recommended to so many friends and healthcare colleagues. It’s stresses the importance of going beyond just medicinal treatments, but incorporating much more, such as diet, mental health, exercise, yoga & meditation. Thank you for such a wonderful book!
