Defeat Cancer: 15 Doctors of Integrative & Naturopathic Medicine Tell You How

I would have loved to have had this book when my husband was diagnosed with throat cancer, five years ago. I don't know if he would have opted for a treatment different than the traditional poison/burn approach, but it would have been fantastic to have this resource on hand, to know what our options were and in case the traditional treatment failed to work.When you are dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer, the Internet is incredibly helpful. But the "non-traditional treatment" information is mostly anecdotal, the amount of time you must invest to find answers is mind-boggling, and no single resource or site makes it convenient to intelligently compare alternatives.Defeat Cancer gives the cancer sufferers - and their loved ones - an invaluable resource. First, you will learn things about cancer that you will not learn from the Internet or the doctors who provide traditional treatment. Second, you will come to understand what options are open to you, and you will be able to choose one that appeals to you.If you would prefer to avoid the traditional almost-kill-the-patient approach, this book introduces you to the doctors who have had success curing cancer - even after the patients have gone through traditional treatment and the treatment has not eliminated the cancer from their bodies. This is rather amazing, given the shape someone is in after traditional treatment. At the end of his treatment (5 chemo treatments, 30 radiation treatments), my husband looked like he had been imprisoned in a concentration camp. He lost 30 pounds, and he was thin to begin with. It took four nurses to lift him out of his wheelchair and onto the radiation machine for his last few treatments.He is quite healthy now, thank God, even though he had a 5% chance of making it. The remaining after-effect of the radiation is salivary glands that are operating at about 10% of normal. He has borne this gracefully. We are both thankful that he survived, but I would not wish the experience on anyone.Connie's book provides options and hope at a time when all hope seems lost. The format of the book, where each doctor tells his and her own story, gives you insights into the character of the doctor as well as the methods that the doctor has developed.When you're going through the cancer battle, you will want to choose a doctor that you are comfortable with. It makes a big difference. We were lucky; our general practitioner is a good guy who referred us to other good guys. The ear, nose and throat doctor, the oncologist, and the radiation doctor were all wonderful human beings who helped us get through the experience with compassion and concern.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is faced with cancer, or who loves someone who has been diagnosed.

A useful compilation of possible cancer treatments.A few of them seem a bit far fetched until you realise how well researched they are.Sometimes the chapters don't have enough detail so you'll have to go do some further reading.This will open up your eyes to a few treatments you didn't realise were effective.This is particularly useful when you are dealing with cancers with a very poor prognosis.It is better to be prepared by reading such a book than to wait till you need the information?:-)

I have been working in the natural health field for over 18 years now, while specializing in cancer prevention the last 3 years. I have only read through part of this book and I keep saying wow, what a great book. The world needs more doctors like this; they really take the time to give each patient a specialized program for healing. I am learning so many new things about the reasons we get cancer and ways to heal cancer.I do wish that more people would care about preventing and healing cancer, as when they only do the convention way, it just gets rid of the cancer (some of the time), it does not heal the body, nor heal the reason they got the cancer in the first place.It is time for people to wake up, especially when they get cancer, to heal and to go towards living a healthy lifestyle. If you only treat the tumor, then the cancer will come back, as you never healed the reason you developed the cancerous tumor in the first place. There are so many ways to prevent and to heal cancer.For more on preventing cancer:[...]For a chapter, by chapter review of Defeat Cancer please see:[...]

Anyone who has had a cancer diagnosis, has a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer should read this book! Hopefully, before they make a decision to pursue the recommended mainstream, traditional medical treatment for cancer. This book and the message it conveys just makes sense. It is a shame there are not more doctors throughout the U.S. that are willing to accept, and/or to convey to their patients that there are alternative cancer treatments available. A patient should be afforded the opportunity to make a well informed decision about their own medical treatment. Every cancer patient should be able to receive the cancer treatment of their choice locally, without having to travel out of their area (which is not an affordable option for many). Very informative book, about a very serious medical issue and other treatment options that are available, written in layman's terms which are easy to understand.

Even though I have never been diagnosed with Cancer I was very happy that I ran across this book for Kindle at such a great discount. It is as easy to read as any novel and the information fills one with hope. I have often thought that if I ever got Cancer I would never have the courage to "do Chemo". When friends would react to my statement they would say "Well what would you do?" Now I have some answers for them.Some of the information truly opened my mind and I started doing research of my own on a few subjects. A total of six of the doctors that are written about in this book talk about the benefits of Melatonin for the cancer patient! This checks out with other sources! This and many other facts are brought to you in this book. It is so interesting. Check out the websites that are listed too. I will have this book in my kindle forever and I hope to share this information with as many people as possible.

Almost everything in this book is available free over the internet.Just go to Alternative cancer treatments and a large list of options will come up.

An interesting and thought provoking read.I particularly liked the way that each chapter was divided into sections, making it easy to understand.The language used wasn't too technical and I personally found it empowering to realise that the standard treatments aren't all that there is, and although some of the treatments are a little "out there" for my taste, reading and learning more about this disease, how it's caused and what causes it to grow and develop and more importantly what you can actually do about it.This book does, what your doctor often doesn't have time to do, explains!

A really excellent book. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged and dedicated achiever of real results. Forget the likes of Stephen Barratt who rubbish anything and everything which is outside the iron grip of the cancer industry. If you have cancer or if you want to learn how to avoid it, this book is a good starting point and will open your eyes. I know. My wife was cured by the Hufeland and the Dove clinics, both featured in the book. Five years on she is in sparkling health.

Very interesting book, but very involved, so I haven't anywhere near finished reading it!

Book arrived in excellent condition. Very useful book for explaining various protocols for defeating cancer - with many items mentioned suitable for utilising at home. The book is starting to become a tiny bit out of date, but that does not stop it still being a very useful book.

Useful to know alternative treatments but their success is unfortunately as uncertain as conventional allopathic treatments.
