"doctor" Coldwell is an international conman with warrants out for his arrest in Germany. He has since fled to American to continue his pseudo-medical cons by publishing books to promote his products. Please see the Rational Wiki page on him: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Leonard...
He is on the board of the fake research company “The American Anti-Cancer institute” which is a marketing organization used to promote fake cures for profit:
The American Anti-Cancer institute is a fake “research” marketing organization founded by the famous con-man Robert Wright. Wright is a self-declared “researcher” (read: quack) with absolutely not one single medical, scientific or academic qualification. He receives a 5-figure income from the quack science “health” practitioners he refers people to, including Water ionizer companies who pay him for his false testimony using this fake institute’s name. The AACI advisory-board includes the discredited pseudo-scientist Dr Leonard Coldwell and chiropractor Dr. Veronique Desaulniers, and did include cancer-counselor Bill Henderson (an ionized Alkaline Water promoter) who has since died of cancer.
This company exists to promote the products they are paid to promote with their official-sounding company name.
To this end, Wright published an opinion book called "Killing Cancer, Not People" in which he writes about which products he wants people to buy so he can make more money. Every single piece of “advice” in this book has been entirely and universally debunked by the scientific and medical community. This is not “alternative” advice, it is dangerous fringe pseudoscience that gets people killed.

A clear and unsettling look at the state of cancer treatment in the United States, leaning heavily on the strides being made in alternative treatments (with an underlying emphasis in posing the question, "Why is it that natural medicine is considered to be the alternative medicine?").
Robert Wright provides a broad spectrum of options that do not require chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. The palette of choices is much broader that I had imagined and, after a single read through, has left my a little boggled by the variety. I recognize a need to go through the book again to get a better handle on what changes I can be making first as a preventative for cancer.
Sometimes the tone of his writing carried too much of an 'angry young man' voice, but he does illuminate situations that are well worth getting angry about. I don't advise that anyone base they cancer treatment on any one book, nor does the author. My confidence in this book is based on the respect I have for the man who recommended it as the best book he's read on the subject.

What has, in the past, been considered traditional medicine has been relegated to being considered non-traditional. This book shows that a large number of these treatments are quite effective.
It leaves me wishing insurance companies weren't so closely tied to big pharma and government. I support the profit motive of business, but pray for a day of parity when money is not the sole motivator behind treatments for cancer.

As someone with cancer, I feel compelled to read all things about a "cure" This book subscribes to the theory that cancer cannot "live" in an alkaline body and shares how a person can diet to create this scenario...and kill your cancer.
In theory it sounds great, but the reality of not eating
sugar
salt
pepper
dairy
eggs
meat
fruit (with the exceoption of limes, lemons, and avocado)
alcohol
anything prepackaged
coffee
seems to leave very little left to eat...I do know of a few people who are followig this diet and are feeling much better after chemo, etc so I can't say I don't think this is a beneficial path to try for those with cancer. However I do feel it would be rather difficult...I am not sure yet if I will jump on this path or not.
I have heard from family members that drinking apple cider vinegar once a day is also a way to counter some of the acidic base from our bodies to make it more alkaline.

After having read dozens of books on healing cancer naturally, Dr. Robert G. Wright's book, "Killing Cancer - Not People" is in my opinion the most well written, easy to understand, well documented/research .....the best one out there.
To have gathered this information and shared it (as well as donated all the profits helping others heal) he is legitimately .....a saint among us.
The best, bar none.
Grateful reader,
Mrs. Daleen Wilson

This being the third edition of Roberts book Killing Cancer Not People I had to see what he had added. Each edition seems more informed and a bit more polished as you would expect. I tell anyone that has a loved one suffering with cancer to please get them a copy so they can inform themselves on how to best manage and heal themselves. Cancer is a symptom of a disease state of the body and ultimately we can eliminate the causes and heal ourselves. May the Creator bless your continued efforts Robert. I am glad to call you a friend.
