If you knew that simple lifestyle changes could significantly reduce your chances of developing cancer, would you take advantage of your natural defences?
'I had cancer. I received conventional treatment and the cancer went into remission, but I relapsed after that. Then I decided to learn everything I could to help my body defend itself against the illness. I've lived cancer free now for seven years. In this book, I'd like to tell you the stories - scientific and personal - behind what I learned.'
Author David-Servan Schreiber is an academic physician with a wealth of experience in the field of integrative medicine.
He will show you how, through simple alterations in diet, lifestyle and attitude, you can tackle cancer alongside conventional treatments, or even avoid it altogether.
This is not a biology textbook, buta practical, insightful and individual guide that will allow you to make the best choices for your own health and well-being.
