What a fascinating book! The author is a lawyer and daughter of parents who were both medical scientists in France. While science is much beyond my abilities, and I would never have chosen to read this book on my own in a million years, the author has painstakingly written this book such that even those of us without scientific minds can follow along. This is a story of a daughter carrying out the life saving scientific research on cancer that her father had done prior to his death. At one point the French government seized her father's laboratory and his papers for several years as his research was going in the direction of herbs rather than pharmaceuticals and the pharmaceutical companies got the government to seize everything. The author eventually was able to get everything back the French government had taken, had it shipped to New York and she was able to find scientists to run it.

Experiments that her father had run were done again using the same exact ingredients. The author traveled to Brazil in the Amazon Forest to meet a woman who made the tree bark into ingredients that were mixed with others into a potion that could ultimately only cause the bad cells to die, rather than causing both good and bad cells to die with traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

In an extraordinary feat, the daughter was able to bring French scientists together who studied in the same areas as her father. Many of the scientists had worked with him or had been acquainted with his work. Later, that group expanded to New York City where another conference was held, inviting hundreds of scientists for one day and many patients for the other day.

In conclusion, what this daughter accomplished in carrying out and furthering her father's vision was nothing short of miraculous. I am certain that he is very proud of her accomplishments and what she was able to do with his discoveries. While we have a long way to go in terms of getting alternative therapies approved and widely used, this book goes a long way towards making others aware of what non-invasive, inexpensive options are available to them. This manuscript definitely earned 4 out of 4 stars in my book!
