By Dr David Servan-Schreiber
All of us have cancer cells in our bodies. But not all of us will develop cancer.
This international bestseller examines what we can do everyday to lower our chances of ever developing the illness, and also explains what to do to increase the chances of recovery from it. Dr David Servan-Schreiber was first confronted with cancer of the brain when he was working as a medical resident, and his life changed forever. This book is the culmination of his experience in the field of cancer, as a doctor and as a patient. It is his personal story; the story of the cases he has come across; and the medical and scientific story of the disease and its mechanisms. He looks, in particular, at the relation between a body and its cancer; at the immune system; and at the roles played by environmental toxins, nutrition, emotions, and physical activity in containing cancer.
He does not dismiss conventional medicine, nor is he anti-pharmaceutical: he empowers the reader with the understanding and the tools to tackle cancer alongside conventional treatments ; or, better yet, to help avoid cancer altogether.
