Review of Winning the War on Cancer
Winning the War on Cancer by Sylvie Beljanski divulges revolutionary discoveries that could save your life. A research-backed book which recounts the story of two scientists and their daughter, who despite pursuing a different academic path, found herself involved in a medical breakthrough. The existence of a natural remedy for cancer got this young woman involved in something bigger than herself, but there was no stopping her.
A dramatic story where hope and reality come together. As people who are on the receiving end of medical treatments, we are unaware of the struggles that scientists face in the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Mirko Beljanski was a victim of an unfair government that aimed at destroying any evidence of the scientist's research, together with the promising results he had obtained in treating different types of cancer. It was then his daughter who salvaged what little was left and gave the newfound treatment back to the whole medical community.
Sylvie Beljanski did her best to portray factual events, so as to inform and educate her readers without missing out on thorough but simplified scientific explanations. I appreciated how she brought the readers on her rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts without straying from the original topic of the book. She has been able to convey the importance that her father's and his colleagues' research has had in the war against cancer, opening up a new path toward treatments that do not blindly kill healthy and cancerous cells. In addition, she shared moments of personal growth as well as insights into the pharmaceutical industry.
Despite the research that backs up the author's claims, her extremely enthusiastic tone when trying to inform her readers of how successful these natural treatments are in causing cancer regression reduces the credibility of her father's findings. As much as this treatment may be effective in comparison to other already available choices, there can never be any certainty with cancer, given that it is an ever-evolving disease.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. There were no grammatical errors, and therefore it was very well-edited. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading nonfiction and wants to gain insights into modern research.
