Review of Winning the War on Cancer
Nobody wants to hear that a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer because it is potentially fatal. Everyone appears to be living happily ever after until the doctor informs them that one of their loved ones has been diagnosed with cancer, at which point fear and shock take over. Sylvie Beljanski's Winning the War on Cancer discusses the author's family history as well as the use of alternative treatments to cure cancer and other diseases.
Dr. Mirko Beljanski, the author's father, discovered botanical extracts that act as anticancer and antiviral treatments. Dr. Mirko established a foundation and began working on plant extracts to develop medication, which he administered to patients throughout his community. His meds made him well known in France. The incumbent French President, François Mitterrand, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the early 1990s. His surgery had no effect on his condition. Mitterrand's mistress summoned Dr. Philip de Kuyper. He gave Mitterrand Dr. Mirko's medications, which restored his health. Despite his assistance, the French government raided Dr. Mirko's research center and declared his drugs illegal. Get this book to learn what happened and what the author is trying to convey about alternative medications.
There were many aspects of this book that I enjoyed. I liked how the author went over all of the educational aspects of it. This book was very helpful in resolving many health-related issues using alternative remedies. I liked how the author used simple language to describe several plant extracts from the same botanical family. I learned a lot about plant extracts that can cure diseases just like synthetic drugs. I commend the author for her thorough research in creating this informative and heartwarming book. I liked how the author began each chapter with a quote. Stephanie Bennett-Henry's "Life is tough, my darling, but so are you" is my favorite quote from this book.
When I read this book, I found no negative aspects. I was deeply saddened by what happened to Dr. Mirko Beljanski. Things like this still happen in modern times, with people attempting to do good for the benefit of humanity but being thwarted. The insane part is that no one knows what causes cancer, but now that I've finished this book, I have some ideas about its causes and treatments. Despite the fact that Sylvie was not an expert in any medical field, she made it a point to learn everything she could and still teach her father's research that was never made public. I admired the author's tenacity.
I'm rating this book 4 out of 4 stars because of how educative it was. I detected no errors when reading this book. This shows how exceptionally well-edited it was. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading memoirs and health-related books.
