Forced to confront his own cancer diagnosis, David Servan-Schreiber set out to understand the complex inner workings of the body’s natural cancer-fighting capabilities as he battled his illness. This put him on a decade-long journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration and finally, a new view of health.

His search for wellness led him to study the roles that lifestyle, environment and trauma play in our health. In a blend of conventional and alternative approaches founded in the latest research in integrative medicine, Sercan-Scheriber concisely explains what makes cancer cells thrive, what inhibits them, and what we can do to prevent their growth.

The unique blend of scientific and personal experience in this book is a departure from the conventional methods of understanding and confronting cancer. “Anticancer” is a peerless, pioneering resource that guides cancer patients to a new way of life.
