When my husband was diagnosed with incurable, stage IV kidney cancer, I wanted to do anything in my power to keep him healthy for as long as possible. I'm in charge of the cooking, so that's where I started. His oncologist and dietician told us we didn't need to change his diet. That was pretty shocking to me, I've always believed if you feed your body healthy things, it will be better able to fight disease. While we were cheking out after seeing the doctor, one of his nurses quietly said to me, "Sugar feeds cancer.
Cut out the sugar. I found this book just randomly searching the web, and it was the only book I needed to buy. I bought several more, but "Anticancer: A New Way of Life" has been, far and beyond, the most informative and motivating thing I've read. Thanks to David Servan-Schreiber, I have slowly, but steadily removed cancer-feeding foods from our home.
We no longer use cleaning supplies or hygene products with toxic ingredients. My husband is still with us after two years of fighting, and is still doing pretty well. I have personally gotten much healthier and dropped 20 pounds by cutting out the bad stuff. My copy is dog-eared and written in. I've got notes on most of the pages and lots of things are highlighted. There's tons of information that your oncologist isn't going to give you, but you need to know. It was a God send for us. Every cancer patient should own a copy.
It came as a total shock when I found out I had a brain tumor in October, I am a non-smoker, a vegetarian, I've always been slim and I exercised days a week. I'd seen this book before my diagnosis and thought it looked good, but didn't buy it. I thought I didn't need it.
Once I realized the author also had brain cancer and had been able to keep it in check for over 15 years through diet and other means, I knew this was the book for me.
If you want to learn how to do something, go to someone who has done it! So I bought the book.
It's an easy read and is backed up by scientific research and 28 pages of footnotes in case you want to learn more. The book is very specific in its recommendations. I took the plunge around Christmas, and have been following the diet ever since. I underwent a year of chemotherapy treatments at the same time. During that time I periodically had MRI's that showed the tumor was shrinking. The tumor has continued to shrink even after I finished chemotherapy in January, , so the diet change and supplements are having the intended effect.
Reading this book and changing what I eat has been incredibly empowering for me. I thought I knew a lot about nutrition before, but I learned some important things from Dr. Glucose is the form of digested sugar in the body. In fact the PET scan commonly used to detect cancer simply measures the areas in the body that consume the most glucose. If a particular area stands out because it consumes too much sugar, cancer is very likely the cause. I found substitutes to feed my sweet tooth - berries, fruits, cinnamon, stevia, and baker's chocolate which is unsweetened with any of the above.
If you have the right motivation I believe you can do just about anything. My plan is to live well and long! March 2, - It has been over eight years since my first symptoms of an oligodendroglioma appeared. My tumor shrank considerably, from over 5 cm to about 2. If it were not in the brain, this would be called remission, but in the brain it's called regression.
During the past year it has started to grow again, at first slowly and now more aggressively in one area. For me, nutrition is still a key factor in how I live my life and maintain my health. There is plenty of scientific evidence to support this see How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger or his nonprofit website, NutritionFacts.
Health is determined by so many other factors. What we eat is simply one of these. If you have been diagnosed with cancer and feel that there is nothing you can do to increase your survival after treatment, read this book! I am buying one for a friend, I'd love to put one in every Oncologist office.
I am going through chemotherapy right now and am incorporating these dietary and lifestyle changes. Having a support group helps.
The diagnosis of a life-threatening illness is a severe trauma and may relate back to other traumas that the patient has endured; some people may expect cancer, may secretly long to be punished and eliminated for perceived sins in their past. Talking about the fear of what lies ahead can help to make the next steps easier and can be a recuperative tool.

Shamans, the author points out, base their healing on rekindling the life force. Many cancer patients develop the determination to gather their own inner forces to combat the disease. To do so, they have to overcome fears that afflict all of us - the fear of leaving our children and other loved ones, the fear of pain, of being alone, of being a burden, and of course, the fear of the unknown journey that is death.
Servan-Schreiber discusses the difference between "false hope" and a reasoned, defensive active approach to cancer survival. You can't expect to survive cancer if you insist on going on doing exactly as you did before your diagnosis, if you smoke, if you avoid testing or treatment that will help you. In order to move forward toward survival, you have to take strong positive measures to change your life in order to preserve your life.
The author states, "The best protection against cancer is a change in attitude arising from a process of growth valued by all the great psychological and spiritual traditions.
