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 Beljanski comprises scientific ideas and personal stories that are told by the author as a way of continuing her father's work. Sylvie Beljanski is the daughter of Mirko Beljanski (PhD), a scientist who joined the prestigious Pasteur Institute in 1951. He achieved quite a number of noteworthy scientific breakthroughs, chief amongst those being his natural cure for cancer. You read that correctly. Sylvie Beljanski believes that a cure for cancer has been around for many years, and this book serves as proof of how this cure was achieved and why it hasn't hit the shelves yet.
I wasn't aware of the existence of Mirko Beljanski, nor was I aware of his work in the field of science. I guess it makes sense because his work was shunned by the French government, and the death of the then president, François Mitterrand in 1992, brought an onslaught of legal battles on Mirko that his work was virtually destroyed. More than two decades later, his work has found a new voice in his daughter and fiercest advocate.
The book is practically divided into two parts. The first half focuses on Dr. Mirko and how he was able to find a way of curing cancer. The second half focuses on Sylvie's life after her father's death. She took it upon herself to put on her father's shoes and walk a mile on the same road he was on, fighting to bring her father's work back into the spotlight.
I don't know if the book succeeds in spreading awareness and knowledge of Dr. Mirko's work, but it tries very hard to be convincing. I love that it was told as a human story. I sympathised with the ordeal that the Beljanski family had to experience. I connected with the real-life stories she shared about growing up and feeling neglected. She didn't have to be vulnerable, but it made the book feel honest, which was imperative if part of the book's mission was to convince the general population about the supposed nefarious activities that happen behind the doors of government institutions.
The book makes very plausible claims, and, for the most part, it makes complete sense. The parts that I felt were a little iffy had a lot to do with my cautious nature and my commitment to taking everything with a grain of salt. The truth may be stranger than fiction, but I have learned to be skeptical about everything I come across. It may be the cynic in me that is reluctant to just accept the things I read, or it may be the wisdom I have gained with age. Whatever the case, this book is intense, it is bold, and it is educational. I cannot find fault in any part of it. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.
I think that the potential reader of this book should have some interest in natural medicine. If the information shared is completely true, then it could benefit the reader who is also open to trying medicine that isn't traditional or mainstream.
