Review of Winning the War on Cancer
[Following is a volunteer review of "Winning the War on Cancer" by Sylvie Beljanski.]
The “war on cancer” was officially declared on the 23rd of December, 1971. To further Dr. Beljanski's research, the Beljanski foundation grew into a registered non-profit organization. In this book, Sylvie Beljanski retells how her father, Mirko Beljanski, discovered two plant extracts from “Pao Pereira and Rauwolfia vomitoria” that cure pancreatic and ovarian cancers. This proved to be an important breakthrough and was used to treat the French president too. As expected, some big pharmaceutical companies didn't seem to like the idea so much, and he faced opposition from both the French government and these companies.
His discovery of natural extracts that could fight cancer better than traditional treatments proved to be very important in the fight against cancer. Sylvia Beljanski details what it feels like to be a scientist and to have pharmaceutical companies oppose you as a natural researcher. Winning the War on Cancer: The Epic Journey Towards a Natural Cure is a must-read if you would like to know the full story behind finding a cure for cancer.
There are so many things to like about this book. Sylvie highlights her unmatched passion for finding a cure for cancer. This passion seems to have been passed down to her by her father. She discussed her research work, and I was amazed by the extent scientists could go to find a cure for a common malady. I liked the way she illustrated this book by adding pictures to help keep her story flowing and smooth. I appreciate these illustrations because they helped me keep track of certain events she wrote about.
Also, this book was exceptionally well edited. I believe that this is proof of the meticulousness of the author. This book exposed me to so many things I did not know before. I learned new meanings of acronyms. It felt like I was with her.
There is nothing to note as negative in this book. I enjoyed the smooth flow of the book. The author discusses what happened to her parents and her father being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. I also enjoyed stories about her symposium in New York City. Putting all of these into consideration, I would give this book a rating of four out of four. There was nothing worthy of note to compel me to remove any stars from my rating.
I recommend this book to scientists because I believe this book may open them to new research on cancer. Curious readers who want to know the happenings behind the scenes may enjoy this book too.
