Cancer Is Not a Disease - It's a Healing Mechanism Paperback – January 16, 2017

from my studies of Cancer and alternative medicine he makes a lot of sense. Some of the earliest studies of Cancer by Otto Warburg, respected German medical researcher in the 1920's identified Cancer as being a disease caused when there was a 35% decline in Oxygen to the cell. This caused the cell to begin using anaerobic methods of preserving itself and revert to generating its energy through glycosis or the production of sugar. This also produced a very acidic state in the normally alkaline status leading to mutations.I think Moritz does a nice job tying in the emotional and mental components as well.Modern medicine doesn't have a leg to stand on in this matter. Chemo is obviously toxic and even carcinogenic. With Cancer rates continuing to rise, its time to explore options in depth. Moritz presents a few here.An even better book on alternative therapies for Cancer may be found in the book Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Second Edition)With CD by Tonya Harter Pierce. She lays out 20 alternative treatements with good explanations and links to resources. A very uplifting book for one faced with Cancer or interested in the topic for themselves or others.Brian Scott Peskin covers Otto Warburg's research in understandable detail in Hidden Story of Cancer and points out the danger of trans fats in blocking oxygen to the cell at the cell wall level and the importance of essential fatty acids from organic, cold press sources. He is big on protein including red meat but streses the importance of quality grass fed vs. factory farmed and the difference is night and day. The book is well worth the read nevertheless and I have found that adding efa's to my daily regime has been very helpful. Peskin may open your eyes a bit so don't overlook this one even if you are vegetarian in emphasis.The bottom line- Cancer treatment is failing hugely and we need a new model. Moritz book and the others mentioned will provide you with much more hope and a path to treatments that can actually work without destroying your health in the process. I would encourage you to explore further and draw your own informed conclusions. You ultimately are the master of your own fate and obviously modern medicine is only giving you one side of the coin. The side that they profit most from and the profits as we know are huge. That tends to skew their opinions a tad.

I really enjoyed this book and it is a must read for everyone whether you have cancer or not. Great info that gives you a different way to look at it then the fear-mongering that traditional doctors do when you are diagnosed! Makes so much sense and I love sharing the info with others! Even got one for a friend of mine who has had several friends diagnosed with cancer and she wants this info to share with them! And I have a lot of books on the subject but this is my favorite one! Great info for everyone!

As a trained chemist, science always comes first in how I approach...well, everything. Let me begin with saying that this is a phenomenal book and it questions conventional wisdom. From a scientific standpoint, taking some time to review some of the literature...a lot of the science actually holds. I would argue a few (emphasis on a few) of the points made in the book, specifically the vegetarian diet...as well as the correlation vs causation of a non veg diet with the onset of cancer. With that said, the book is still life changing and will make you re-think conventional medicine and the massive money in pharmaceuticals. At the very least (for those who will never question anything) this book makes a solid argument for healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, including: GMO free, low fat, non processed, low sugar, organic, vegetable and fruit diet. Even if you throw all of his other arguments out the window, this is one area his logic coincides with what any competent nutritionist or MD will tell you about a healthy diet. If they don't (as a chemist with a minor in biology who has been working out and researching healthy diets and reading the actual science journals from which the research stems...forever) trust me when I say no GMO, organic, non-processed foods, essentially everything he argues for, is right on the money. One last note, the books starts a bit slow and seems a bit repetitive at first....just give it time, I promise it's worth the read!

After hearing the Dr. say to my husband you have cancer and do chemo or you will not be here next year.... this book came into my life. I read it in two days soaking in every word. It was life changing no doubt and a ENORMOUS paradigm shift from what we have been programmed to believe regarding cancer. My husband trusted me and the words in this book and made changes... mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. It was hard going against the grain of conventional cancer therapy .. the bullying by the doctors is incredible. But we stood strong. A year later my husband is 2.0 version. He is stronger in every way. He is a walking testament to healing your WHOLE body. He is more alive than ever. Read this book. It will change your life and save you or your loved one.
