Winning the War on Cancer by Sylvie Beljanski is a non-fictional book about attempts to champion the natural cure for cancer. The author tries to fight for the recognition of her parents’ research. Her parents, Mirko and Monique, were French cancer researchers. They discovered plant extracts that could cure cancer.

The work of Sylvie’s parents had a high success rate but was not well known. One of their most prolific patients was a former French president, Francois Mitterrand. Treating the French president exposed their work to the public eye. According to Sylvie, any natural cure that works better than synthetic drugs is a threat to the pharmaceutical industry and the economy in general. The Beljanski’s lab was ambushed, and their research was seized.

What strikes me the most about this book was the depth of information it offers. It sheds light on how the Beljanski’s were able to treat patients with different types of cancer. It also exposes the corruption in governments and the sick motives of the pharmaceutical industry. They would rather reap big financial benefits than welcome a natural treatment that would help cure cancer patients. It was sickening to read how the French government ruthlessly dealt with the Beljanski’s. The author’s resilience was laudable. She made many sacrifices to ensure the continuation of her parent’s work.

This book has credible references that enable interested readers to do further research. The personal stories included in the book made it engaging. Sylvie wrote a brief book and used comprehensible language. Some grandiloquent medical terminologies were a little bit of a distraction, but they did not hinder the overall reading experience. Although the topic of cancer is broad, she is more focused on campaigning for natural alternatives to curing cancer. She makes a case of how the natural cure is more effective than synthetic drugs. She is straightforward and articulate in her explanations.

There is nothing I disliked in this book. It was exceptionally edited; I did not encounter any grammatical errors. It had me engrossed, and it was a quick read. With that in mind, I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I believe that nature holds the cure to many other chronic diseases besides cancer. I recommend this book to people who have an interest in learning more about cancer. The author had a journey of many ups and downs; therefore, this story can motivate readers not to give up. This book is suitable for all audiences.
