Review of Winning the War on Cancer
[Following is a volunteer review of "Winning the War on Cancer" by Sylvie Beljanski.]
Sylvie Beljanski titles her book Winning the War on Cancer— but are we? The author recounts what would have been a life-changing discovery in cancer treatment. French biologist Mirko Beljanski discovered plant extracts that would successfully cure different types of cancers in human bodies. His triumph was displayed when the then-ailing President Mitterrand's health improved after using Mirko's natural remedies to treat prostate cancer. The president successfully finished his second term, as opposed to his doctors' reports, but died willingly after stopping his medication.
When a new regime ascended, the unthinkable happened! A breakthrough that demanded applause and investment was met with chagrin from the new French government and pharmaceutical companies. The French SWAT team raided Dr. Mirko's lab and confiscated his hard-earned work. Fast forward, on her father's deathbed, Sylvie Beljanski vowed to continue his work in the fight against cancer. And voila, the Beljanski Foundation was born to pursue cancer treatment using natural remedies. In this memoir, Sylvie continues her father's remarkable invention in the war against cancer.
This book requires concentration to understand the scientific teachings explored. Plus, some medical terminologies and concepts may demand prior biology knowledge to smoothly comprehend the memoir. I loved how the author gave her scientific research, facts, and successful instances of the said natural extracts.
Perhaps, had Mirko Beljanski succeeded in his inventions, we'd be talking a different story concerning contemporary moneyed cancer treatments. Many cancer patients cannot afford to seek treatment. Alternative natural extracts are cost-effective, and the numerous victims who have succumbed to the disease would still be breathing. But no, greed for money has and continues to cost lives.
With citations and links, the book is well-researched and enlightening. Sylvie nudged me to dig deeper into the mentioned natural extracts and learn more about where to source them, their availability, and more natural remedies for other diseases. Further, I enjoyed how she doesn't shy off from detailing her past and the histories of her workaholic parents.
With a handful of grammatical flaws, the book is well edited. This publication shows how societal evils affect lives in the long run. Pharmaceutical companies could not bear Dr. Beljanski's breakthrough that would have otherwise improved patients' lives. Money had to come first. Cancer remains the biggest bane in the health sector, and only the rich can afford treatment. I had nothing to dislike. So, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to anyone battling any form of cancer.
