Supported by extensive research and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Stengler and Dr. Anderson thoroughly

  •  how proper nutrition can help to prevent and treat cancer
  •  the most well-studied supplements to use with cancer treatment

Book Name: Outside the box: Cancer Therapies
Author: Dr. Mark Stengler & Dr. Paul Anderson
Category: Medicare
Publisher: Hay house
.
Introduction: Naturopathic medical doctors Mark Stengler and Paul Anderson focus on the most critical components of Integrative Oncology Care. Using an accessible, case-history approach, they explore the different types of cancer, the causes of cancer, how proper nutrition can help prevent and treat cancer, the most well-studied supplement to use with cancer treatment, cutting-edge therapies (such as intravenous high dose vitamin C and other studied therapies) and natural solutions to common problems (such as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation).
.
My Opinion: Guys, this category is seriously my favourite, I read alot of books relating to medical section. Though, I don't review most of them but this was worth reviewing. Both the authors are renowned doctors which is my weakness whenever I pick up book- I pick it 100% if it's written by a doctor! The book talks about the deadly disease known as Cancer- it can come across in anyone's way & lead death sooner or later for sure. There is no exact cancer treatment but still it is treated by alot of therapies & chemotherapy is one of them. But, the authors has given measures to prevent cancer & cure cancer in simple & easy ways. Their amazing explanations & diet plans were worth executing in real life to avoid cancer. Also, alot of information, causes & it's prevention is given in the book. I highly recommend it everyone.
.
Pros: It's important to read such books to our own help, so definitely it helped me alot personally! Explainations were good & easily understandable. When ever you will read this you will come to know alot of things about cancer & knowledge is never a waste- I believe. Accepting their prevention methods we can avoid cancer & stay healthy & fit. For me it was one of the most amazing reads of 2018!
Cons: No noticeable cons in the book! It's lame to say but for some the scientific language could be a problem. Well, I was completely flabbergasted by the content.

important content but a snooze fest to read.

[Leonard · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't read everything in this book since I was specifically looking for information about lymphomas but I was impressed by the large number of studies that were quoted as well as the information on conventional therapies and on the information about treating the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Lots of information here and worthwhile reading.

IT'S A VERY QUIET HELPFUL BOOK!!Gives a basic layout that u can try out natural therapies to overpower the conventional treatment and also how to improve your health and work on it once the conventional treatment is over!!

[Brad Mundy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thoroughly researched with all relevant medical studies listed in detail. Great information for those wondering what alternatives (or adjunct therapies) exist vs chemo, radiation, surgery. In particular, the sections on diet were really interesting.

[Pamela · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full of good, hopeful information for those needing alternative treatment or wanting complementary treatment.

[Manny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for anyone looking for alternative therapies against cancer.

[Molly Carlson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good overview of integrative and alternative cancer treatment but best to read a time of diagnosis when considering options.

[Bibi · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a pretty good read; I normally don't indulge in medical books because if feel I can't understand all their medical jargon completely without continuously surfing the internet to understand what they state. The book is no-nonsense but inspires hope to the reader about their misfortune. It is additionally formatted to help the reader to skip throughout all of the parts they don't need and get to their main focus.

A great summary of cancer therapies and treatments. It's dry, and not meant to be read straight through I'm sure. More of a textbook for reference.
