A thoroughly researched exploration of cutting-edge therapies to fight cancer, by choice, not by fear!
This is a book about choices - for all cancer sufferers and their families. It's about making good choices based on information and not fear. It's also a treasure trove of top information about alternatives to chemotherapy and an easy and fascinating read.
In March, 2011, journalist Laura Bond's mother, Gemma, was diagnosed with ovarian and uterine cancer. They hit the ground running, researching Gemma's options, only to quickly discover that chemo and radiation were themselves found to be cancer causing (leukemia is listed as a side effect of one common cancer drug) and were compelled to explore alternatives. (Many oncologists are on the record saying they would not go the chemo route if diagnosed with cancer.)
Quick to point out that every cancer and every body is different, the book does not offer a one-size-fits-all approach but simply opens the door to thinking about cancer and treatments for cancer in a whole new light. These so-called alternatives work, and much more is known about them than we think. There is even advice about how to keep your hair while undergoing chemo, if chemo is the route taken.
You Can Say No to Chemo is a great and inspiring read for anyone wanting to explore alternative options, build their body's own resource to heal and restore itself, or find ways to supplement conventional care.
