One-Minute Book Review
Anticancer: A New Way of Life – by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber
A cancer survivor himself, Dr. Servan-Schreiber found himself unimpressed with the advice he was given upon diagnosis, and set out to find better. This, he achieved.
He first provides an introductory overview of cancer, and then devotes most of the book to detailing how to create a “terrain” (the environment of your body and all that you do with/to it) that is hostile to cancer.
This includes things like diet, of course, but also exercise (the right way!), mindset, and much more. He doesn’t cover much about standard medical treatments, as he assumes the reader will already be advised about those by their oncologist, and in any case, such treatments are constantly changing as new discoveries are made. It’s worth mentioning that while he advocates strongly for complementary medicine, he does also make clear it should be just that—complementary—and not a replacement for regular treatments in cases where such are recommended.
The style is comprehensible pop-science, written for the lay reader, and yet with copious scientific references—more than 30 pages thereof. But as well as that, it’s a personal account, often revisiting his own cancer journey to illustrate one point or another, be it something that went well for him or badly, there’s always something to learn.
Bottom line: this book is important for anyone facing cancer, and useful for anyone who simply would like to improve their odds in a more informed fashion. As he notes, “all of us have cancer cells in our bodies, but not all of us will develop cancer”, and it’s good to try to be on the healthiest side of that.
