Product Description
At age thirty-one David Servan-Schreiber was a rising neuroscientist with his own laboratory for brain imaging funded by the National Institutes of Health. While testing brain-scanning equipment, he discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his own brain. This is the moving story of how a researcher and scientist who believed only in conventional treatments was transformed into an integrative physician who realized the importance and power of the body's natural defenses against chronic disease. Dr. Servan-Schreiber's advice details how to find the right blend of traditional and alternative health care; how to develop a science-based anticancer diet (and the small changes that can make a big difference); the top ten household products to replace; understanding the effects of helplessness and "unhealed wounds" both physical and emotional, and how to regain balance; and how to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation. Anticancer takes us on an inspiring personal journey and ultimately guides us to a new way of life. Unabridged on 7 CDs.

Healthy lifestyle guide November 30, 2008
This book is an excellent summary of cancer recurrence prevention strategies by a survivor-physician. It's also good information for those who haven't had cancer and hope to prevent it by making positive lifestyle choices. Not only does it cover information on additives in our food and statistics on details such as the increase in sugar consumption over the past century, it also discusses emotional well-being and the role of physical activity in creating and maintaining good health. The information is backed by scientific data. Dr. Servan-Schreiber's story of his diagnosis of a brain tumor at age 30 is dramatic.
What a motivator for the healthy reader! November 22, 2008
If you don't have cancer and need motivation to stick to a healthy diet and exercise program you will find that this book contains powerful sticks carrots (searing life and death stories and insights into the nature of cancer) that most self-help health books designed for healthy people do not. And the author, a cancer patient himself, provides a detailed program (diet, exercise, meditation etc.) for you to follow.
A must read! November 20, 2008

This book is an absolute must read! For anyone who may have cancer and anyone wanting to live a healthier life to help increase the chance of NOT getting cancer. Once I started reading this book I had a hard time to put it down. Very interesting and enlightening.

Informative and eye-opening. A new way (to me, anyway) of looking at cancer from an empowering point of view, where one makes choices on how to deal with the disease (if you already have it), or how to avoid it for life. I have put in practice a few ideas of the book, and have given a copy to my mom and sister. Highly recommend the read.
