No good deed goes unpunished. Beljanski developed a natural cure for cancer. When the former president of France fell ill with cancer and was thought by all to be dying, Beljanski’s extracts helped extend his life. This development angered some whose political agendas were distorted, as well as some pharmaceutical companies that felt threatened. Consequently, Beljanski’s lab was ransacked, he, his wife, and his entire team were arrested, and they confiscated all his research. He might have been poisoned as well, on this occasion because shortly after, he suddenly developed a type of cancer that progressed rapidly. Sadly, he had no access to his own invention, which he had used to help several people heal in the past.

When Beljanski was on his deathbed, his daughter Sylvie Beljanski, the author of this book, made three promises to him. Read the book to find out what they were, whether she has fulfilled those promises, and the price she might have had to pay.

Winning the War on Cancer tells a gripping tale about the struggle between good and evil. It also gives scientific knowledge about cancer, its different causes, and the treatments out there and their side effects.

What I love most about this book is how the author narrates her father’s story in a fascinating fashion and how a lot of scientific information is mixed in with the narration so the book is never boring. Easy language is also used so that those who know very little about cancer research or biology will understand the contents and follow the book easily. I found not a single grammatical error in the book so; the editor did a fantastic job. I listened to the audiobook version however, so perhaps those reading the printed version will have a different experience with this.

There is nothing I dislike about the book. It is emotionally gripping, enlightening, and scary at the same time. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for all the above reasons.

Those who are interested in the subject of cancer and its research, science, biology and non-fiction will enjoy this book. Those who dislike these subjects may dislike the book.

I can’t stop wondering, if there are some powerful forces who will go to unbelievable lengths to prevent cheaper, safer cures for cancer, HIV/AIDS and infertility from reaching the public, who knows what else are they keeping from the public? Food for thought.

Wow! Now you have me wondering. 🤔 I think that there are alternative (and cheaper) cures for many ailments and diseases. We just need to find them.

Thank you so much for your insightful review.

Absolutely.
There are.
I think conventional medicine is designed to be suspicious of alternative medicine,but what works, works.

I would like to find out what are the 3 promises made by the author. Cancer is a disease which no one wants and if there is a cure then that's fantastic. Thank you for a great detailed review!

Interesting book! I think the idea is very important, but as you mentioned it should be read by those who are interested in it. Thanks for the review! Didn't know you could read it as an audiobook!
