Editorial Review:
Simple, natural things are the answer to cancer!
Sound too easy? Here a Western research physician teams with an Eastern Ayurvedic to explain how ancient "secrets" -- that you can do from home! -- make it difficult for cancer to ever get started.
Find out . . .
*Which Indian spice protects your DNA (where cancer starts)
*How cancer cells crave sugar, and how to block sugar cravings
*Why natural killer cells are good, and how to keep them flowing
*What food supplement can fight bad toxins without blocking chemotherapy's "good toxins"
*Simple steps to fight colds, the flu, insomnia and more!
*How to get your body to manufacture Interleukin-2 (a prescription anti-cancer drug)
Early Detection Not Enough
The Answer to Cancer takes a fresh approach to the most troubling disease of our age. "When medicine speaks of 'prevention,' it mainly is speaking of early detection, which -- if you think about it -- isn't cancer prevention at all," announces the book's opening chapter. These authors have more sweeping intentions. The work offers a cradle-to-grave, 24-hour, easy and natural approach for averting the disease before it ever takes hold. It offers advice on diet, of course, blending modern scientific analysis ("phytochemicals", "lignans", "antioxidants") with classical Ayurvedic understanding (fruits, vegetables, herbs). (You'll find few technical Ayurvedic terms to confuse you. though.) A brief compendium of ancient techniques in modern dress, Answer makes an impassioned plea for, of all things, sleep. It rails against iced beverages (which it calls "the antithesis of digestion"). It teaches a basic course in Yoga while offering a few secrets for getting rid of toxins. Denouncing the microwave and the Snickers bar, it upholds the sunrise walk and periods of settled Transcendental Meditation.

Rating:  - An easy, useful guide to keeping yourself healthy and happy
Highly recommended! The Answer to Cancer should really be called "The Answer to Living Optimal Health and Happiness." It gives a clear, readable introduction to Ayurveda, an ancient, integrated system for optimizing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Ayurvedic principles support a very holistic, natural, and comfortable lifestyle where your meals and supplements, daily routine, exercise, and even your ideal attitudes are based on a combination of universal principles, natural cycles, and ...

Rating: - A great choice for alternative treatments
I had to buy this book for a class I'm taking for a masters in nutrition. I liked it so much that I bought a second copy for a friend who has a wife battling breast cancer. This book may not be the actual "answer to cancer" but the authors do offer some great suggestions for keeping yourself healthy that are very simple and easy to follow. If they don't help with cancer specifically, then, as they even say in the book, at least they will get you healthier in general. I also really enjoyed the ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Answer to any Imbalance in the Body or Mind
The Answer to Cancer: is Never Giving it a Chance to Start is written in a lighthearted and comfortably way. Simple recommendations from Ayurveda, translated as the science of life or life span, are made to increase immunity in the body by igniting the fires of digestion at breakfast time, enhancing digestion and elimination, balancing and adjusting the diet, adding strategies to detoxify the body, and re-enlivening a youthful enthusiasm and joy for life. The authors continue with discussing ideas ... Read More
Rating:  - Surely not the best book for cancer preventation
Good points about the book: easy to read, simple to follow, new perspective (Ayurvedic view of health and disease) but there are a few points worthy to take note of:
1. The writers stress that food have to be cook for better digestion (i agree), but they do not say that uncook food is very important for health and cancer preventation too. Any cook food will be lacking of enzymes which are very important for cancer preventation. Jucing is a way out for people with weak digestion. i recommend reading ... Read More
