Review of Manifesto for a Cancer Patient
[Following is a volunteer review of "Manifesto for a Cancer Patient" by Colleen Huber, NMD.]
Cancer is one of the diseases that makes people fearful in the twenty-first century, but why is so? When many of us hear the word cancer, the first thing that comes to mind is a sick person with no hair, and when we talk about cancer treatment, the only thing that comes to mind is chemotherapy. We all believe that even if a person is well after cancer treatment, he will develop cancer again and die. In our century, cancer represents death, and the treatments are given to cancer patients only serve to postpone death. This book has the potential to alter your perceptions about cancer and its conventional therapies, as well as what doctors say.
The book Manifesto for a Cancer Patient by Colleen Huber focuses on the efficacy of naturopathic treatment as an alternative to chemotherapy in cancer treatment. This 22-chapter book starts with what happens when a patient is diagnosed with cancer and the underlying reasons that lead doctors and hospitals to employ chemotherapy as a treatment method instead of exploring other choices. The book also discusses the risks and benefits of chemotherapy and nutritional treatments, as well as how to treat cancer through nutritional intervention and how our food choices affect cancer growth and treatment.
The excellent aspects of this book that drew me in were the fact that it offered a new perspective on cancer treatments, the language was simple, and the information was clear and easy to understand. In addition, I found no grammatical, spelling, or typographical issues, therefore this book is professionally edited in my opinion.
On the other hand, the book is perplexing, the ideas scattered and confused. To further explain, the book contains a chapter on why the writer became a naturopathic physician, followed by a chapter on cancer politics, a chapter on frequently asked questions, and so on in random order. Another thing I didn't like was the repetition; you'll see various topics repeated again and again, such as the necessity of vitamins, and the study reveals the difference in remission between patients treated with chemotherapy and patients treated with natural treatment. Maybe the writer used repetition to emphasize the importance of these subjects, but I didn't like it. As a result, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.
Overall, this nonfiction book by a naturopathic medical doctor with eleven years of experience treating cancer patients is highly worth reading because it includes a lot of knowledge about cancer and its treatments. As a result, I recommend it to anyone interested in alternative cancer treatments or who wants to get a different perspective on chemotherapy.
