 Maybe Not and Here's WhyH. Gilbert Welch, M.D., M.P.H.
2004 Buy this book new or used from Amazon Dr. Welch, Professor of Medicine at Dartmouth Collge, has done a great service with this small book. He gives a simple, detailed explanation of how cancer testing works and why it is not reliable, and how cancer statistics are formulated and why they are usually misleading. It is all the more convincing since he is coming from a conservative medical background and is not particularly focused on the possible dangers of cancer tests, but on the complicated circumstances that make their use questionable. |

Buy PDF of newest book, Cancer Free
Bill Henderson became interested in alternative methods of healing for people with cancer after his wife suffered through 4 years of conventional cancer therapy and finally died in 1994. He was certain there had to be another way to approach cancer treatment, and he has devoted the years since to researching those methods and making the information available through website, books, and counseling. There was very little information available when he started, but thanks to the Internet, there is now a huge amount—the challenge is sorting through it all. His aim is to help the cancer patient and caregivers research and choose a treatment regimen, initiate appropriate lifestyle changes, find a medical professional to be “co-doctor,” and create an organized path to healing. He has helped many people overcome their cancer successfully using natural substances, diet, and exercise—see his website for hundreds of personal stories and testimonials from “coachees.”

A Visionary Journey of Healing Jeanne Achterberg
2002
Don’t be put off by the subtitle. Dr. Jeanne Achterberg is one of the original founders of the alternative health movement—psychology professor, author, lecturer, teacher of healing visualization, and senior editor of the cutting-edge journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine...Her last 25 years of work have been about the psychological and spiritual dimensions of cancer. I thought when I opened this book that I would be reading the straightforward story of a woman who faced a serious health challenge and simply applied everything she knew about alternative healing. Well, no and yes—this unflinchingly honest and completely absorbing memoir could just as well be subtitled “muddling toward the truth while trying to keep your sense of humor . . ."

A sensitive and fascinating approach to the subject of how the mind and emotions interact with the body to produce disease. A compassionate and detailed examination of case histories of his patients supported with research data helps him explain the biological connection between emotional stress and a number of common diseases. To learn about the concept that health is radically influenced by thoughts, emotions, buried conflicts, happiness and unhappiness, this is a good introduction.

 Lawrence LeShan, Ph.D. 1994
Just about everyone could benefit from reading this book. It’s only about cancer in the sense that a person with the illness suddenly has a life-or-death reason to start paying attention to who she is and what she individually needs to become whole and happy. Why wait until the alarms start going off and the firefighters are breaking the doors down?

Dr. Rath Foundation
Dr. Mattias Rath worked with Dr. Linus Pauling on the development of orthomolecular research, which has evolved into what he calls "cellular therapy." Rath is controversial at the moment because he has insisted in Africa that AIDs can be cured with nutrients, which has aroused the ire of the medical professionals who are treating AIDs with pharmaceutical regimens and fear that his statements will cause people to stop or not start taking the drugs which they believe are necessary. There are heated arguments on both sides of this issue. Many alternative practitioners do treat AIDs as a nutrient-deficiency disease. Here are Rath's views on cancer:

Gerson authored books and dozens of articles in the world?s medical literature, including his landmark book, A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases.
