Sylvie Beljanski has written the Winning the War on Cancer as part of her contribution to further the research of Dr. Beljanski, her father.

Sylvie had the opportunity to make a presentation at NAVEL Expo. Possessing a significant amount of data, she was shocked to realize that there would be no computer for her presentation. Her presentation had already been highly publicized, and she couldn't afford to do anything less than what was anticipated. She had always kept her presentations data-driven because she felt she did not have the scientific background or credentials to make her presentations personal. Left with no option, she talked about cancer, while she also discussed some personal history. At the end of the presentation, the only question asked was about her father and not cancer; this was shocking for her. Find out how she handled it by reading this book.

The most important positive aspect of this book was how insightful I found it. There were pieces of information I did not know, and it was interesting to read them in this book. While I have always known how helpful plant extracts could be in solving health-related problems, I didn't know why people always opted for synthetic options. In this book, the author discusses how natural remedies cannot be patented and how this could be a huge problem for big pharmaceutical companies. Healthcare is supposed to keep these big companies in the business of making more money.

I like how determined and fearless the author is. After the circumstances her father faced as a result of revealing the hard truth, she still bravely decided to carry on in his legacy. I also enjoyed the personal touch of this book. Sylvie's story and that of her family were told, and this made the book less abstract.

While the book was professionally edited, I felt like the errors that were made were too common, and they could have been easily taken out by a good round of editing, especially because they were located at conspicuous points. This was my only concern about this book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It was insightful, and I consider it a great read. The negative aspect I encountered wasn't enough to make me deduct a star.

I recommend this book to readers who want to find out more about health, as the author did a great job explaining health concepts related to cancer in this book. This should also be a great read for readers of memoirs and real-life issues.

It is such a sad reality that pharmaceutical companies would threaten the lives of people solely for their own financial gain. I am glad that the author has spoken out. Great review.
