From Chapter 1:

If you are facing a cancer diagnosis, the first thing you should know is that there is hope in the world of alternative, non-toxic treatments. And I am referring to very real hope — not the "false hope" that is so often offered in the guise of chemotherapy and radiation. Tens of thousands of people have used alternative, non-toxic treatments to overcome their cancer and then gone on to live normal, healthy lives!

The second thing you should know is that you are far from alone. Right now, one in every two to three Americans will develop life-threatening cancer at some point in their lives! This estimate comes primarily from the official American Cancer Society figures of 1996, which predicted that 40 percent of all Americans will develop life-threatening cancer. This statistical estimate has been confirmed by other researchers as well, many of whom believe the 40 percent figure to be conservative. Overall, cancer rates have been rising at an alarming rate for the past 100 years. In recent years, the rate of lung cancer incidence has been going down due to fewer people smoking, but the rates of virtually all other types of cancer are still increasing!

I understand that whenever a person finds themselves facing a cancer diagnosis, time is of the essence. There are urgent decisions to make, and you need treatment information fast. You may have various doctors, relatives, or friends pushing you to quickly get your surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. They may even say things like, "If you don't do this now, you will die!" If this is happening to you, try to remember that these people are pushing you because they care about you and are, themselves, scared. And they are right when they say that you need to take action very soon.

But you deserve to know that everyone in America is strongly influenced — even brought up all their lives — to think that the conventional treatments are the only answers to cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are commonly called "the Big Three" of mainstream cancer medicine, and even most doctors think these are the only answers.

Customer Reviews

Outsmart Your Cancer
It's incredible the amount of excellent information in this book. A must read for anyone, with cancer or who knows someone with cancer, who is looking for a better & non-toxic way to help cure themselves.

Highly Recommended.
My father had surgery for stomach cancer in December 2006. He decided not to have radiation or chemotherapy because his surgeon told him treatment might shorten his life because of his age. My father is 87 years old. I bought him this book. It mentions a flaxseed oil and lowfat cottage cheese mixture that my father eats twice a day, in addition to his regular meals. He went from 149 lbs to 165 lbs. He's doing very well. Thanks for writing this book Ms. Pierce!

6/17/08 My father's cat scan showed no cancer. His doctors are surprised he's doing so well.

Couldn't put it down
I have seen other books about cancer but this book explained the processes without technical jargon. It was easy to follow, easy to read and easy to understand. I bought another 20 copies to give my friends and families for Christmas. I think it is a topic we should all be informed about! I feel empowered for having read it and am not afraid of the word cancer anymore. I now know there are many strategies for getting rid of it. This book is highly recommended.
