Sylvie Beljanski’s Winning the War on Cancer outlines her approach towards alternative pharmaceutical methods for treating cancer. As the daughter of Dr. Mirko Beljanski, who uncovered a revolutionary discovery concerning plant extracts targeting pancreatic and ovarian cancer cells, she divulges that the scientific discovery brought controversy amongst pharmaceutical drug agencies, researchers of natural medicine, and the French government. This book would most appeal to readers who are interested in natural, alternative medicine, botany, and science. However, this book will not appeal to readers who are indifferent to alternative medicine or have difficulty comprehending the scientific research that advocates for botanical medicine.


The book was edited well, with no typos. Graphic violence is non-existent. And on a scale of 0-5 for eroticism, this book is a 0.


Her determination to continue her father’s mission is what I liked most about the novel. She utilizes her law background to convince the readers of natural medicine’s beneficial properties through detailed statistics and historical facts. Beljanski educates readers that using certain plant extracts and their impact on diminishing cancer stem cells by substantiating their importance through multiple anecdotes she collected from proponents of the natural remedies approach. She exposes how corruptive money is, exemplified through the suppressive actions imposed on her father’s research from the French government and pharmaceutical companies. I especially admire her commitment to clearing her father’s name and being a voice for the topic of natural medicine a public spotlight.


What I disliked most about this book was the author’s insistence that certain plant extracts are the cure for all fatal diseases, such as cancer. Cancer is a malady that does not discriminate and can be a scarring experience for everyone involved. As much as I would like to be hopeful that using nature’s bounty can alleviate, or even cure, cancer’s spread, it is a dream that is too good to be true. Another part I disliked is Beljanski recounting the neglect she experienced in her childhood due to the discovery overshadowing her existence in her parents’ lives. Fortunately, she matured and realized the importance of her father’s research for the future of medicine.


Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for the author’s unwavering support regarding the untapped potential of botanical medicine. She provides several valid points that bolster Dr. Beljanski’s natural, non-toxic approach to cancer treatment. This book will leave you wide-eyed and intrigued with each turn of a page.
