Review of Winning the War on Cancer
[Following is a volunteer review of "Winning the War on Cancer" by Sylvie Beljanski.]
Without question, cancer is one of the most prominent and deadly hardships humankind must face. Scientists, doctors, and patients aspire to discover cures for cancer’s many forms. Today, chemotherapy and radiation are the most well-known, even default, treatments. In Winning the War on Cancer, Sylvie Beljanski introduces her father’s natural health supplements. His pills are derived from unique plants that have tumor-shrinking properties. The author details her father’s research on where these healing molecules are found, their extraction and development, and how they improved the lives of many.
The text chronicles the Beljanski family’s story, from Sylvie’s father’s work to her own struggle to keep his legacy alive. She writes about attempts to slander the late Mr. Beljanski in an effort to blacken the reputation of the revolutionary and affordable remedies he produced. Personal accounts of those who used the nutriments attest to their success. They, along with the Beljanskis, believe that this technology is life-changing. Could organic solutions change the way the healthcare industry views and treats cancer? The author brings to light how today’s medicine is focused on continuous treatments that bring in a stable cash-flow, rather than preventative measures and cures that leave the patient healthy. Around the time of her father’s passing, their company was put under investigation by the French government; the laboratory was raided. The Beljanskis and their advocates speculate that some very powerful people did not want any natural solutions to jeopardize their money-making treatment business.
While reading, you will likely question the motives of both parties. Is the author exaggerating the effectiveness and miracle-likeness of their products? Or is she correct in her suspicions that chronic illness has become a profitable industry for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies? Conspiracies and theories aside, I suggest you pick up Winning the War on Cancer; it will inspire you into investigating further and forming your own opinion on this hot topic.
I did not come across grammatical errors or spelling mistakes and I was glad to follow the relaxed narrative. The book is more of a biography of the years in Sylvie’s life, from before the time of her father’s death to the present day, while she tried to revive the Beljanski name and business. She expresses the strain her quest and ambition had put on her marriage. I enjoyed this intimate approach, as it gave this nonfiction piece a relatable tone and made it believable. My only criticism: some parts felt like an advertisement for the brand. However, I am truly convinced that organic solutions are a better alternative where possible. The author’s extensive research is evident and her ability to persuade is impressive.
The professional editing and provoking subject led me to give a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. You and I may or may not be entirely convinced of anything by the last page, but points of interest like what is presented in Winning the War on Cancer are perfect themes for an engaging discussion. For this reason, I recommend this book to everyone regardless of preconceived notions. Stories like this one are great for getting the conversation going!
