Anticancer: A New Way of Life, New Edition
The revolutionary, New York Times bestselling guide to the
powerful lifestyle changes that fight and prevent cancer—an integrative
approach based on the latest scientific research
“A common-sense blueprint for healthy living.” —Chicago Tribune
“Resonating with cancer support communities and recommended nationwide.” —Los Angeles Times
“Life affirming . . . filled with practical advice.” —The Seattle Times
David Servan-Schreiber was a rising neuroscientist with his own brain
imaging laboratory when, in the middle of an equipment test, he
discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his own brain. Forced to
confront what medicine knows about cancer, and all that we still do not
know, Servan-Schreiber marshaled his will to live and set out to
understand the complex inner workings of the body’s natural
cancer-fighting capabilities. He soon found himself on a decades-long
journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration and,
finally, a new view of health.
Anticancer is at once
the moving story of one doctor’s inner and outer search for wellness and
a radical exposition of the roles that lifestyle, environment, and
trauma play in our health. Drawing on the latest research in integrative
medicine that blends conventional and alternative approaches,
Servan-Schreiber concisely explains what makes cancer cells thrive, what
inhibits them, and how we can empower ourselves to prevent their
growth. His advice details how to develop a science-based anticancer
diet (and the small changes that can make a big difference); how to reap
the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation; which toxic, unsafe
products to replace in your home; and how to stave off the effects of
helplessness and unhealed wounds to regain balance.
Anticancer’s
synthesis of science and personal experience marks a transformation in
the way we understand and confront cancer. A long-running bestseller
that has changed the lives of millions around the world, Anticancer remains a pioneering and peerless resource, an inspirational and revolutionary guide to “a new way of life.”
