I found this to be a really good read. It was very helpful to better understand how cancer works and how the body can fight against it.

Think it would be fun to turn this into a readers' theater.

A lot of great advice for general healthier living for ANYONE, not just those who have faced cancer. I appreciated that Servan-Schreiber emphasized that these lifestyle changes complement modern medicine, as I am grateful for the surgery and poisons that also killed the cancer. Will be working to implement some of these suggestions!

Before we start this review, I have been told that I am a harsh critic.
I believe this is a great book for people with limited knowledge of the topic. I have personally never experienced cancer. In fact, none of my friends or family have. I’m very thankful for that. But I felt that there were few exciting sections to me. I’m not sure if this is personal to me.
I’d also like to note that, while Walter Willett has made great discoveries, he has time and time again been proven wrong in his nutritional suggestions. He has a strong idea of how the body system works, but limited knowledge on day to day foods and connection to the system. I personally am skeptical of him and his work. Someone I know asked him directly about carbohydrates, and he could not properly categorize carbohydrates identified.
Great starter book. It kept my attention 2/3 of the time. I’m interested in continuing on this topic. Perhaps this book was just not for me, and I would still recommend it. I’m going to ask my partner, who has limited knowledge on cancer, to read it.

if you have had cancer, if you currently have cancer, if you know someone who has cancer, read this book.
if none of those things apply to you, read this book anyway.
this book was incredible, insightful, informative, and encouraging. nobody is immune to cancer, yet our bodies have the natural ability to prevent and heal if we take personal responsibility for our health.
