I borrowed this book from my local library. At one time in your life, someone you love will be diagnosed with cancer. Mine was my father. I was determined to learn as much as possible about the subject, hoping to fight back. This book was helpful. Some of the idea in here bought my family additional time with him. I will always be grateful for that. It is definitely worth the read, as well as a few others on the subject. Much love to anyone going through this battle. We sadly lost ours. Life is short, please enjoy every second you have. ❤️

I really enjoyed reading Balch's book. He had a ton of great information on what, how, and why anti-oxidants work in the body. He goes through vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and herbs. I've known a lot from research, but this was a refreshing view and gave me a lot of insight. For example he mentions that vitamin E won't be utilized by the body well unless vitamin C is also present in the body. He also wrote in a way that you don't have to be a doctor to understand and he also wrote in a way that I felt like I was talking with human. I hate when health books read like medical books.

The only bummer with this book is that it was written in 1999. Some things needed to updated like his section on soy, and his mention of canola oil. If he did a second edition it would be an incredibly insightful book, especially if he hit on systematic enzymes, other rare vitamines and more herbs.

If you happen to grab this book you won't be disappointed it. I'm glad I own it and can now use it as a reference tool.
