Summary: Brilliant! A must-read book!
Review: Cancer. This is quite possibly the most frightful, troubling and dreaded word in our language. And for good cause. Cancer kills and maims and, truth be known, the current, "accepted" reatments---chemo and radiation--- haven't done much for survival. The Cancer Handbook: What's Really Working discusses the possible causes of cancer: family history, contraceptives, environment, drugs, stress and nutrition. We then learn about the current detection methods. Ms. McTaggart offers us enlightenment in today's conventional treatments--- chemo, radiation, light therapy, immunotherapy and, of course, surgery...all of which have had extremely limited success in offering a cure. The vital point that The Cancer Handbook makes is that there are alternative cancer treatments available to us IF the orthodox medical community would be willing to try them. "Despite this climate of suppression, a number of alternative treatments have been the subject of some properly designed laboratory and clinical research. Although all would benefit from further study, they certainly appear more promising than most of the tools of orthodox medicine". Doesn't it make sense to strengthen our own immunity and therefore our ability to destroy cancer cells, instead of using invasive chemo, radiation and surgery? How this can be accomplished is detailed in The Cancer Handbook. This eye-opener offers valuable, indeed lifesaving information about therapies like immuno-augmentative, peptide, Govallo, Gerson, Coley's, Kelley's, and macrobiotics, as well as diet and upplements. This reviewer has lost both parents and a daughter to the scourge called cancer. So, when I learned about The Cancer Handbook, I jumped at the opportunity to make you aware of these alternatives. Lynne McTaggart has done us all a great service by increasing our chances to live longer and healthier lives!

Summary: Raving Lunatic
Review: This book is outrageous! I bought it thinking it would have beneficial alternatives to radiation therapy, and chemo, which it borders on, but the author is so hysterical in her findings and beliefs, that her "facts" seem unrealistic. It's almost as if she pulled every "fact" and "statistic" from the JAMA, more like from one article, and rewrote it in her own freaked out voice. I suffer from sarcoma (soft tissue cancer) and this book is not very calming...it's insane. Eat right, take care of yourself, and get second and third opinions...end of story, no need for theatrics or books bordering upon medical conspiracy theories..boooooo. I want my money back. This book wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.
