Review of Winning the War on Cancer
[Following is a volunteer review of "Winning the War on Cancer" by Sylvie Beljanski.]
Winning the War on Cancer by Sylvie Beljansky is a book that shows a natural approach to the war on cancer. The author provides a well-rounded book about cancer: how it appears, its effects, courses of treatment, side effects, and new natural ways of approaching it. What made this book topic possible is the research started by the author’s father, Mirko Beljansky, on Pao Pereira and Rauwolfia vomitoria extract. He came upon these extracts in his search to find a cure for cancer. In this book, we are shown the hardship that the author’s family, especially her father, had to go through, all because of political beliefs and how his research had and could further interfere with the political power battle in France. It also shows the journey the author embarks on so that her father’s legacy can go on and not be buried. From a lawyer to the founder of The Beljansky Foundation, we are taken on an emotional, powerful, and medical-science journey that will teach us the truth about cancer and how the world truly works in certain circumstances.
One of the many things that I liked about this book is that, at some points, the author provides visual support when explaining medical aspects of how certain things work. For example, on page 52, when we are provided with the image of different examples of DNA strands and how they look when there appears to be a change in the genetic code due to the appearance of cancer, I also liked the non-cancer explanations for how things work, such as the reason for the dark color of Rio Negro, which is caused by vegetation that contains phenol and is decomposing in the water. I appreciated each explanation or definition provided for the medical terms, diseases, and medications, like when the author explains what thrombocytopenia is. Another aspect that I really liked about this book is the amount of information provided by the author that is based on real numbers and aspects. For example, the creation of chelation therapy or the number of people that are affected by pancreatic cancer are a few of the concrete examples provided by the author.
I couldn’t find a single negative aspect to complain about. Although the book is mostly composed and filled with medical terms and talks about different aspects and types of cancer, which would make understanding it a little difficult for those without medical or scientific knowledge, I found no problem keeping up with the reading and mostly understanding its content.
As I read the book, I noticed that it was exceptionally well edited. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars because the author did an amazing job organizing all of this medical and scientific information in such a way that any reader could understand and follow it with ease, and she also managed to incorporate her personal story and struggles in harmony with that information.
I recommend this book to medical students, scientists, or anyone interested in medical books or learning more about cancer and natural treatment options.
