Review of Winning the War on Cancer
Winning the War on Cancer is a masterpiece. It doesn’t matter if the reader is suffering from cancer or knows someone who is dealing with this disease; the reality is that anyone who is interested in health, science, and alternative medicine can find this book enlightening and provocative in a good way. Sylvie Beljanski dedicated this book to the story of her amazing father. Her father, an incredible doctor and investigator, discovers that the only way that someone can in fact be cancer-free is if every single cancer stem cell is permanently killed, avoiding any possible tumor regrowth. Even though this information is not exactly surprising, his further discoveries are. Doctor Beljanski manages to correlate the effects of plant extracts on the eradication of these stem cells without intoxicating the body. However, this is not a lucrative discovery, making him a target for the government and every pharmaceutical company that sees his research as a treat for their business instead of a revolutionary and promising discovery. Now, it is Sylvie Beljanski’s life mission to expose her father’s discoveries to the rest of the world.
I can say with full confidence that Winning the War on Cancer is one of the most important books I’ve ever read in my short lifetime. It feels like a true privilege to be able to read such a book while I’m still young. What I liked most about this masterpiece was the simple way in which the author managed to explain such complicated and scientific terminologies to the common mortal. The book is very provocative and polemic, but it is so necessary. The battle against common medicine and pharmaceutical interests is not recent, but books like this one are responsible for expanding the ideologies surrounding it. Not only do we get a clear picture of the true intentions of these lucrative companies, but we also understand how powerful alternative medicine can be. Winning the War on Cancer reveals a scary side to the world, well represented in Doctor Beljanski's true story, but it does not suffocate the reader or take away his hope for what the future of cancer can be.
With that being said, it is challenging to find any negative points in this reading experience. As I pointed out prior, sometimes the story itself can be a bit scary and perhaps even overwhelming, but it does not suppress the several positive aspects and reasons that lead me to recommend this book to its fullest. However, the fact that the author chose to tell her father’s real story made me a bit too emotional at times, taking my focus off what is truly important in this book.
I gladly rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The writing was impeccable, the book was exceptionally well edited due to its lack of errors, and the content was of amazing quality. The scientific facts behind every single piece of information described in this book elevate the assessment to almost perfection, making this one of my favorite reads in the health and science genre.
Regarding the target audience of this masterpiece, I believe every single person can qualify to read it. Unfortunately, cancer is a current topic in everyone’s lives, either because they have suffered it or because they know someone who has, making this a book for curious-minded individuals who want to learn more about the various discoveries already made in order to eradicate this disease and that keep being hidden from the public only with the "superior interest" of the lucrative business that is the pharmaceutical world.
