Herbs Against Cancer: History and Controversy

Rating:
Summary: LACK OF SCIENTIFIC DATA
Review: Half of the books describes history of some herbs which I did not find useful, the other half it even does not demonstrate you the ability to help cure cancer. It does not show you any scientific data from a recognized company (e.g. FDA). The title should be "Herbs Against What". It was a waste of time this book.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: This book catalogues many of the so-called herbal cures for cancer promoted by various entities and then evaluates the evidence for and against their effectiveness. Moss is very even-handed in his treatment of the different herbs, but some of the 'popular' herbs have nothing that supports their effectiveness. Also interesting is the different standards between European and US testing and marketing of these drugs.
