The disease of cancer is feared the world over. It used to be fatal, but what happened thereafter was worse. The drug that purported to treat cancer came with harmful side effects. Modern cancer treatment puts the person undergoing treatment and their family through physical, emotional, and financial hardship. In her book Winning the War on Cancer, Sylvie Beljanski describes the battle her family faced in finding an effective cancer cure. This book is a memoir about the works of the author's parents, Dr. Mirko and Monique Beljanski, who worked at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and the author's battles to make Beljanski’s study available to the people.

The book begins with the author's feelings as a young child who yearned for attention from her busy parents. It changes when she realizes that her parents were involved in something crucial for all of humanity. She then proceeds to enumerate her journey in carrying out the mission that her parents were unable to finish.

The discovery that carcinogens destabilize DNA, which causes cancer, was crucial. Only a few malignant cells out of all cancerous cells, Dr. Beljanski found, operate as stem cells. He stated that if the treatment fails to eliminate the cancerous stem cells, the cancer will relapse.

The French President François Mitterrand recovered from prostrate cancer in 1992. She recounts the circumstances leading up to Dr. Beljanski's arrest in 1996. Even though Dr. Beljanski merited recognition for his contributions, he was penalized. The specifics are startling. The events that followed fit the mold of a thriller book. That this is not fiction is unfortunate. To understand her challenges, you must read this book.

This book opened my eyes. Currently, as aptly summarized by the author, cancer patients are treated with cutting (surgery), burning (radiotherapy), or poisoning (chemotherapy). Each of these poses a risk, and when employed together, they compound the potential for harm. The author's seven-point summary on how to assess the suggested treatment before deciding to proceed with it hit home for me.

The cancer-fighting herbs Pao pereira and Rauwolfia vomitoria are helpful. The unique golden leaf Ginkgo biloba extract aids in the recovery process after surgery and during radiation. I like how the author highlights that doctors should be inclined to treat patients holistically because it reduces risks and restores well-being. It is terrible to learn how the wealthy get together only for financial gain at the expense of innumerable lives and suffering.

Her explanation of how suppressed emotions and feelings can lead to cancer is food for thought. I agree with her when she says the human species must realign itself in favor of coexisting in harmony with nature and with one another. I also agree with her perspective on the importance of eating healthy. Food is not only a source of nutrition, but it can also act as a form of medicine and facilitate the healing process. The book provides perspectives on health and alternative medicine. She has provided images, YouTube links, and links to other websites for reference.

There was nothing in this book that bothered me. There are a few typos, but nothing that would cause the reader's flow to be disrupted or warrant a lower rating.

When word gets out and complementary therapies are allowed to work alongside conventional medicine, this book will truly succeed in its mission. This book is for everyone interested in learning about the alternatives. It's time for medical professionals, patients, and patients' families to expand their horizons. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

From the looks of it, this book is a comprehensive collection about cancer, its origin, its treatments, its stories, and most importantly, the healing process even if everything goes south. I can't wait to read it!

This sounds like a powerful and eye-opening book. The way it blends personal experience with medical insights makes it even more impactful. The holistic approach and the idea of looking beyond traditional treatments is really interesting. Thanks for the thoughtful review. @Seetha E
