Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic Treatment & Prevention [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

This book is a well-researched sourcebook for new and innovative cancer treatments. The book is divided into various sections. The first is "Vitamins," where Moss provides research on vitamins, such as Vitamin D, on cancer research. Moss details studies that have been conducted with vitamins. Other sections include, "Minerals" such as Calcium, "Herbs" such as Aloe, "Diets" such as Gerson, and "Less Toxic Resources" such as Amygdalin and Hydrazine Sulfate. In total he lists over 100 therapies. At the end of each section there are resources for each therapy. For instance, he gives addresses of clinics using the methods.

Parts of this book are also devoted to cancer prevention studies. He also will tell when studies show that a substance can, for instance, enhance chemotherapy's effectiveness, or relieve side effects of radiation. This is helpful for people who are not willing to rely totally on alternatives, but who want some of their benefits.

This book is useful to anyone researching cancer treatments, cancer preventions, or else just wanting the straight facts on alternative therapies. No major orthodox cancer group approves of most of the therapies Moss discusses. Moss is not a Medical Doctor, but a researcher, so his presentation should not be taken directly as a prescription or a do-it-yourself treatment. However, for a new angle on cancer, and for information on effective therapies, this book is one of the best available.

Moss points out that the major components of the cancer establishment are the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Cancer Society (ACS), grantees at major universities, the leading pharmaceutical houses, and the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) "...which regulates the marketplace on behalf of the very industries it is supposed to oversee." Non-toxic cures, on the other hand, are called "questionable, unproven and unscientific" (i.e. unprofitable to the Cancer Industry). Only orthodox cancer treatments - surgery, radiation and chemotherapy -(cutting, burning and poisoning) are "scientific" and presumably not to be questioned. But there is hope. With the formation of the Office of Alernative Medicine (OAM) in 1992, there are now centers of alternative medicine at the medical schools of Harvard, Stanford and Columbia, and a special center to study such treatment has been established at the University of Texas.

As yet, I don't have cancer myself, but I have watched beloved family members and friends go brankrupt and die after undergoing these toxic treatments without ever having had the knowledge to seek alternative cures. That is why this book, in my opinion, is such a valuable resource. Moss includes information on cancer prevention as well as alternative treatments with well-documented proof that they have worked for thousands of people all over the world. After each section, the author provides references and resources.

Since cancer has increased to epidemic proportions in the industrialized nations, I believe everyone would benefit from owning and reading this book.
