from my studies of Cancer and alternative medicine he makes a lot of sense. Some of the earliest studies of Cancer by Otto Warburg, respected German medical researcher in the 1920's identified Cancer as being a disease caused when there was a 35% decline in Oxygen to the cell. This caused the cell to begin using anaerobic methods of preserving itself and revert to generating its energy through glycosis or the production of sugar. This also produced a very acidic state in the normally alkaline status leading to mutations.I think Moritz does a nice job tying in the emotional and mental components as well.Modern medicine doesn't have a leg to stand on in this matter. Chemo is obviously toxic and even carcinogenic. With Cancer rates continuing to rise, its time to explore options in depth. Moritz presents a few here.An even better book on alternative therapies for Cancer may be found in the book Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Second Edition)With CD by Tonya Harter Pierce. She lays out 20 alternative treatements with good explanations and links to resources. A very uplifting book for one faced with Cancer or interested in the topic for themselves or others.Brian Scott Peskin covers Otto Warburg's research in understandable detail in Hidden Story of Cancer and points out the danger of trans fats in blocking oxygen to the cell at the cell wall level and the importance of essential fatty acids from organic, cold press sources. He is big on protein including red meat but streses the importance of quality grass fed vs. factory farmed and the difference is night and day. The book is well worth the read nevertheless and I have found that adding efa's to my daily regime has been very helpful. Peskin may open your eyes a bit so don't overlook this one even if you are vegetarian in emphasis.The bottom line- Cancer treatment is failing hugely and we need a new model. Moritz book and the others mentioned will provide you with much more hope and a path to treatments that can actually work without destroying your health in the process. I would encourage you to explore further and draw your own informed conclusions. You ultimately are the master of your own fate and obviously modern medicine is only giving you one side of the coin. The side that they profit most from and the profits as we know are huge. That tends to skew their opinions a tad.

Very informative

I learned so much from this book. It confirmed my suspicions that the medical field was in bed with big Pharma. Cancer is BIG Business. No cure will ever be found, just buried. Good read for anyone interested in more holistic approach to our health . You will look at cancer in a whole different way.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book, but I bought it anyway in Kindle form. Now, I would not soley rely on alternative medicine, probably because I have grown up here in the USA and am used to Western medicine, so I think incorporating both Western and other medicines is fine.If you are diagnosed, it's terrifying. You panic. You want that horrid thing out of you now and you want to hunt it down and kill every last cell. I was 'lucky' - I had surgery and did not need further treatment (i.e. - chemo or radiation.) Am cancer-free and doing great.I gave this book 4 stars. There are many things I did not like about it and many things I did.The Bad:This author has never had cancer and is talking in theory and not fact. He does not recommend chemo or radiation or even surgery, which is great unless you're the patient and have already gone through those things. Then what he says is terrifying. Because he is someone who's never had cancer, he can't know how he'd react, and he is not a doctor of anything, so please, if you are diagnosed, do your own research and follow your own doctor's recommendations and your own intuitions. It's easy to read the words of someone who does not 'believe' in chemo or radiation, but it's another thing when you yourself are faced with this illness and your life is on the line.He talks a lot about how bad the AMA, FDA, lobbyists, Big Pharma, etc... are. I believe this, but it is overwhelming because, really, what is an individual to do about that? You're scared. You're desperate. Knowing this is one thing, but causing a person in dire straights more stress is not a good thing. So I skimmed over those chapters, because this is something I think we all probably know anyway, even if we have differing opinions about it.The Good:I found his theory of what cancer really is, comforting. He says cancer is not out to kill you. Your body and all the cells in it are all trying to live and be well. We have so many immune responses and tactics in our bodies, it's really very amazing. And think about this: cancer is in every single person. It's not a disease that comes out of nowhere because your immune system was down. We ALL have cancer cells from the day we were born. Why? What is their function? That's where this book shines. He accertains that cancer is actually helping your body to overcome certain toxic conditions. He likens it to a poisonous mushroom in a forest. Why is the mushroom poisonous? Because it's been soaking up the poisons in the soil around it. So cancer accumulates when maybe your body becomes too acidic (a specific organ or area) and it's trying to soak up those toxins, and maybe that's when the cells go haywire (this is a theory as is all research about cancer), and maybe because something is 'off' or unbalanced in your body. He says nobody ever died of cancer (unless a certain organ is blocked by it) and you know what? My doctor (an M.D. in the good old USA who practices Western medicine) said the same thing. In other words, it doesn't cause the weakness or illness, but maybe it's a response to it. And it's naturally occuring in your body because it has a function. Your whole body and all it's cells are life-ward. We don't have cells in us ready to kill us, but we can become sick with toxins from stagnant diets and thoughts and emotions.What I want to convey is this: I didn't like all of the things he said in the book. Some of it I think is a little hardcore. I know some people like this who refuse to wear makeup and only drink boiled, distilled water from a special place in Argentina, who only eat home-grown food, never wash their hair and won't wear deodorant. I think that's extreme and the author even gives an example where one of his patients only follows some of his advice and is cured. Mostly the advice is eat mostly organic, hormone-free, antibiotic-free foods (this is actually not too difficult because I find all these things at regular markets now and they are not as expensive as they used to be.) Stay away from sugar. Exercise. Work through your emotional problems and keep your body in an alkaline state (eat a balanced diet with lots of veggies, some fruit, and no or little prepackaged foods like Doritos or canned sauces and stuff like that.) It's not really hard to make your own spaghetti sauce or salad dressings, so the diet isn't bad and is in fact healthy anyway for anybody.In conclusion, I recommend this book because it is a comforting thought and when going through something like this, it helps when you're feeling stressed and scared and it is calming. I also recommend Radical Remissions by Kelly Turner. Sometimes reading about people who have been through this and have overcome it despite their doctor's dire diagnosis, is wonderful. Because if they can do it, others can too.

After hearing the Dr. say to my husband you have cancer and do chemo or you will not be here next year.... this book came into my life. I read it in two days soaking in every word. It was life changing no doubt and a ENORMOUS paradigm shift from what we have been programmed to believe regarding cancer. My husband trusted me and the words in this book and made changes... mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. It was hard going against the grain of conventional cancer therapy .. the bullying by the doctors is incredible. But we stood strong. A year later my husband is 2.0 version. He is stronger in every way. He is a walking testament to healing your WHOLE body. He is more alive than ever. Read this book. It will change your life and save you or your loved one.
