"Overall, I thought this book contained a lot of useful information. In the chapter You've Been Diagnosed: Now What?, there is a section about the goals of treatment with natural medicine, which utilizes the following bullet points:
*Support the whole person. You are not your disease. You are an individual who happens to have been diagnosed with a particular illness called cancer. *Take away any factors that support cancer development. It is important to eliminate harmful dietary, lifestyle, and other practices that promote cancer. *Utilize natural medicine to treat cancer and prevent recurrence.
I think that sums up what this book is about. Authored by a team of doctors and endorsed by The Cancer Treatment Centers of America, the information contained within this book is primarily based upon various medical studies, which are all referenced in the chapters and/or footnoted for the References and Notes section.
I found the chapter Natural Strategies for Support Before, During, and After Chemotherapy to be particulary helpful as it explains the different types of chemo, the associated side effects, and helpful tips on how to deal with those side effects. Of all that I have read on cancer so far, including information that we received from the oncologist, this book contains the most comprehensive overview of what chemo actually is."
