Cancer: Step Outside the Box

Rate this book
Now in its 5th Edition (recently updated in 2011) and with over 100,000 copies sold since 2006, Cancer-Step Outside the Box is a must-have book that everyone should own. According to Dr. Rashid Buttar, author of The 9 Steps to Keep the Doctor Away, "Ty Bollinger's book, Cancer-Step Outside the Box, is an extraordinarily thorough and courageously well written book, brought to fruition by the dedication of a son for his departed parents. I found it difficult to put down this exceptional book once I began reading it and plan on recommending it to all my patients suffering from cancer who seek treatment at our clinic so that the light of truth and hope contained within this book can shine brightly on them as well." In the words of cancer survivor, Brad Matznick, I am not a journalist, that 's Ty 's job, so I won t drag this out ... I am a cancer survivor and this book was a huge contribution to my survival (it 's one of the best books on the subject). Ty is a rebel... maybe even somewhat eccentric, but you can t ignore what he 's saying. Read this book if you or someone you care about has cancer ... nuff said. With satisfied readers in over 50 countries world wide, Cancer - Step Outside the Box is a roadmap to successfully treating cancer and regaining your health This book is chock full of the most effective, non-toxic cancer treatments in the world. Truth be told, there are many potent and well-proven alternative strategies for preventing and treating cancer... without surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation (the Big 3 ). Inside this book, you will find a wealth of information that your doctor probably doesn't know. Here's why: while at medical school, doctors learn a very drug-intensive style of medicine, because multinational pharmaceutical companies ( Big Pharma ) funds the medical schools. As a result, most doctors are still thinking inside the box when it comes to cancer treatments. The cancer box is largely the creation of Big Pharma attempting to peddle their poisons (such as chemotherapy) in an effort to increase shareholder profits. Sadly, these profits are generated at the expense of cancer patients. In the words of radio talk show icon, Jeff Rense, I have been involved with so called 'alternative approaches to cancer' for a long time. This book is 'the Bible' - buy it and you will be amazed. It is a masterpiece." This book succinctly explains the facts and deceptions about cancer and cancer treatments, it documents multiple cases of persecution and suppression of effective natural cancer treatments, it details the most potent advanced cancer treatment protocols, and it clearly explains the relationship between nutrition and cancer. The author is not a medical doctor. He is a researcher who has compiled the most concise, easily readable, comprehensive book on alternative cancer treatments and health. This book is a gold mine of information, helpful to cancer patients, those attempting to prevent cancer, and health care practitioners alike. According to Dr. Pavel Yakovlev (Oncosurgeon in the Ukraine), the material in your book is enriching and hope-giving for clinical practice I made many notes while reading it to be applied to my work. Elaine Hulliberger, breast cancer survivor, states: I had terminal cancer and used Ty Bollinger's information on non-toxic supplements and the nutritional information along with traditional medicine. Anyone who has cancer, or knows someone with cancer should get this book and read it from cover to cover. I'm alive today because I did.

Ty Bollinger is a happily married husband, the father of four wonderful children, devoted Christian, highly regarded book author, medical researcher, health freedom advocate, former competitive bodybuilder and also a certified public accountant.

Why I wrote this book:

During the last 15 years, I’ve lost 7 close family members due to cancer. I have devoted the last decade of my life to medical research to find alternative cancer treatments and cures so YOU and YOUR family don’t have to experience the same tragedy. I have summarized this voluminous amount of research on natural cancer treatments in my book, Cancer-Step Outside the Box.

Ty is not a medical doctor (see disclaimer).

This book is written by an ordinary guy whose parents died of cancer. His goal genuinely seems to be to educate people about alternative treatments - treatments he wishes he'd known about earlier. For certain, there are many interesting and intriguing stories here about why the government and certain organizations do not promote alternative treatments, and about how certain "cures" were discovered and are used today. What is almost completely lacking are references - and the references that are given are never (to hedge my possibly faulty memory, I'll amend that to nearly never)about facts. He references quotes from others, mostly giving their opinions. But the stuff you really want to know about - like some of the histories or the stats and studies on some of these "cures" - isn't present. What's worse, his sources are rarely (maybe never) primary sources. Now, this is a pretty long book, with tons of "facts" presented, so it would be a HUGE undertaking for me to research the facts and discover where the author got his information (primary or secondary source?)and whether I feel those sources are trustworthy. In short, I just can't imagine trusting my life - or anyone else's life - on the information here. Combine that with reviews on Amazon where readers claim to have tried the "cures" only to have them fail...and, well...What I HOPE is that the author will come out with a revised version of this book, with properly annotated footnotes.

Wow, excellent, another good one! Every single page was chock full of information. Adding black pepper to turmeric increases the efficacy of the turmeric 1,000-fold. Finally, an easily understandable explanation of why high fructose corn syrup is so damaging. Plus, all the documented natural cancer treatment impediments imposed by "Big Pharma", the FDA, and the AMA. This book is a valuable resource to arm yourself with healthier choices!

Ty Bollinger does an awesome job of making an easy to read, eye opening book on the cancer industry that is still at large. I’d argue that it’s any responsible American’s job to read this book. He offers countless counter attacks on the damage done to our bodies by the “health industry.”

This book is excellent for those researching alternative choices to cut, burn, and poison. Each treatment is explained and for what types of cancer, who discovered it and why it works. Also info on detoxing liver, parasite, etc.
This lists many strategies that are not available in the US but found in Europe or Mexico.

This is a great resource to start you out on doing your own research in order to find alternative methods to be healthy or fight cancer. Don't take everything in here as "truth" but as a place to start looking for information if you don't want to just go along with traditional medicine and Big Pharma.

A very readable book that approaches prevention and management of cancer holistically pulling together many sources of information and natural cure.

Even if one does not have cancer, it is useful to refer to his book to see how we can live more healthily, holistically and naturally. A book for keeps and as a constant reference in the home. Highly recommended.

Apart from the critic to the pharmaceutical industry, which could be found elsewhere in more detailed way, this book is a step towards global warming as it unjustifiably uses paper to say nonsense.
It was a recommendation By Mohammed Al-Faid. I read it to give some answers to my father who was diagnosed with colon cancer.

This book is good for everyone who aren’t major in healthcare. Some people think it is extraordinary information, however all nutrients are mentioned in this book is natural which is not processed. When out family member gets cancer, those measures in this book is helpful in supporting with chemical therapy or radiation therapy. Anyway it is not harmful, why we don’t try.

a very well-researched book of depth n passion to free us from medical lies we were brainwashed to believe. the author not only chronicles most thorough scientific evidences but also details an alternative to the poisoning "norm" we think we have to abide by. thanks a lot, Bolliger.

I first read this when I was ten, then reread and reread. The comics were entertaining enough that my interest was kept. (That's mainly why I read the thing)

I would have given this book 5-star rating but the rants at the beginning and end of the book about Lord God Jesus as the saviour of our sins put me off to the extent that I now discredit the claims the author has made in between on grounds until verified. These two places erodes the credibility and intent of a book which would have otherwise been the Bible for cancer treatment.

In between the author convincingly builds arguments against organized cancer industry and treatments, and recommends lifestyles, preventions and alternate cancer treatments. I liked it but I have not verified anything the author mentions. I would have trusted him had the rants not sploit the belief that this book needs.

Nevertheless a good read if your mind can sieve out the good parts from the propaganda claims. May the Lord not need cheerleaders to vouch for him. May the author continue the good work considering the human need knowledge and awareness more than following.

If you read only one book on health (alternative health) this year, then let it be this book. This isn't just a book on dealing with cancer, it's a book on being aware of and dealing with the numerous threats and impediments to good health in our lives. It's also a book that will make you aware (if you're not already) of the various human political machinations behind the scenes that are detrimental to human health. The book discusses the 3 mainstream treatments used to treat cancer, as well as the numerous alternative treatments that have been used and are available to successfully deal with cancer. But it also includes chapters on such things as bad fats, sugar, MSG, soy, fluoride, mercury and GMO.
I wished I had read this over a year ago, as I could have helped many people I loved. Thank you Ty Bollinger for having the courage to take on this topic. Your book gets 5 stars from me.

If you don't have Cancer chances are that it is a matter of time that you will know someone who does have Cancer. That is why this book is such an important piece for you to read. It is informative. He talks about the Medical and Pharmacy establishments. He also provides a partial list of alternative cures for Cancer that are safer and have actually worked. His writing style is good. He is not afraid to point out the flaws of radiation, chemo and surgery.

I had an open mind about this until I got to the Christian chapter about sinning at the end. Disclaimer: I skim read this book only as it’s in the cottage where I am staying. With my particular cancer, it’s aggressive so I would have been dead in a few weeks had I refused chemo and tried the alternatives in this book. If my leukaemia returns I intend to let nature take its course and die. Some of us don’t have much to live for🤷🏽‍♀️

Everyone should read this book. It's eye opening and gives so much hope to those who have a cancer diagnoses. It doesn't have to be a death sentence. You just have to be willing to understand that big Pharma doesn't have your best interest in mind.

CANCER Step Outside The Box was a very interesting read. I found it to be very informative about things that happen in the USA (considering I am from Canada). It was written in layman’s terms which will benefit most readers. The author really did his research and had written about his experiences. I found myself feeling for him and his family. The only thing that I found hard was to continuously read the book. I kept having to put it down and then come back to it later. If you are interested in alternate therapies, this would be of interest to you but I would definitely consult with a physician.
