David Servan-Schreiber - "Anticancer"

Author: David Servan-Schreiber Title: Anti-Cancer Year of publication: 2008 Description: David Servan-Schreiber—the author of this book—is a neurosurgeon and psychiatrist who, as he himself admits, used to focus more on scientific research than on the patient and his interactions with them. The diagnosis he receives one day—a brain tumor—changes his approach to his own life as well as to medicine, patients, and treatment. Do lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and our state of mind influence the development of cancer? The author seeks to make us aware of how much depends on us in this regard. The book describes natural healing methods intended to help prevent cancer and support the treatment process. The book is certainly not a prescription or a silver bullet for curing cancer, and the methods described in it (as the author clearly emphasizes in the introduction) are intended to complement traditional methods (surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy).
