What everybody should know

I think that this book should be translated to every language and be read by all people concerned, doctors and patients alike. This book gives you an insight into what really goes on and what should go on...

a balanced approach

When you look down the list of these supplements, some seem eeriebecause we have attached them to radical, non traditional treatmentsthat people used to go to back alleys in order to obtain. Now,however, the blended and supplemental approach to cancer treatment hasmake it more acceptable for patients to access additional treatmentsinstead of opting for one or the other....I think Pelton's book is avery good start.

An excellent no nonsense appraisel

This book surprised me as I was expecting an anti-traditional therapy tirade. Instead I found a well balanced up to date summary of alternative therapies with excellent reference material and a writing style that reflected the authors compassion.I feel this book should be read by everyone not just cancer patients as the list of preventative measures available will prolong a lot of lives.The authors frequently stress the importance of using suggested therapies as an assistance to traditional therapies not as an alternative.I feel the knowledge I have gained from reading this book will prolong my own life as well as others I will share the information with.I long for the day when the public will rise en-masse and take responsibility for their own lives. Easy to find summaries.A valuable Reference Work.
