I picked this book for review after the recent breakthrough in cancer treatment. I had a lot of hopes for this book, and I must say it delivered. The word 'cancer' has, over the years, become one of the scariest. There is, therefore, no doubt in anyone's mind that this is a war we must courageously face. Winning the War on Cancer by Sylvie Beljanski covers the nitty-gritty of this fight. It stamps the legacy of the author's father, Mirko Beljanski, who dedicated his life to finding natural cancer treatments.

The book commences by narrating Sylvie's motivations in the quest for a natural cure for cancer. She gives us her background in the field and how her experiences nurtured her passion for natural medicine. It wasn't an easy journey. Sylvie details the tribulations and trials her family went through in the fight for space in the cancer treatment sector. His dad, she claims, died while fighting for freedom in the field. The author talks about both pharmaceutical and natural medicines for cancer. She discusses the positives and negatives of both treatments quite conclusively. She then expertly makes her case for the natural methods of treatment. She gives references, testimonies, and scientific facts to back her takes. Notably, the author makes scathing allegations against pharmaceutical companies. She exposes these companies' hidden and suspicious activities.

This book is insightful and eye-opening. It contains a lot of very vital information and carries the hope that the war against cancer is winnable. Moreover, the book brings into light scientific details that have been hidden from the public in a deep conspiracy. The topic of natural treatments could quickly get boring, but this one was enjoyable from start to end. The author's style of narration was unique and attractive. She made her journey personal and tapped into the emotions of the reader. I could feel every struggle and pain that the author went through. I could also relate to every effort she put into her incredible journey. It was also great to see the kind of love Sylvie had for his dad and the work he did. She has put a lot of resources into cementing her father's legacy.

After reading this book, I do think it is time governments took alternative medicines seriously. If they have to incorporate and supplement them with the pharmaceutical ones, then so be it. We are in a war that cannot afford discrimination, and I'm proud Sylvie stood for something she believed in vehemently. My favorite quote in the book was by Sylvie's father: "Whenever you can help, you have the duty of doing so." I wish everyone in all health departments would take this as a call to action.

There was nothing I disliked about this book. It was exceptionally well-edited and presented expertly. The language was simple and easy to comprehend. I, therefore, gladly give it a perfect rating of four out of four stars. I'd recommend it to all stakeholders in the health and pharmacy departments. Cancer patients would also use some of the insights in the book.
