Review
"This massive reference book spells out the evidence, or lack of it, for hundreds of therapies, as well as their possible side effects." —Parade Magazine
Product Description
A comprehensive look at “CAM” treatments, from the cancer experts
The field of Integrative Medicine has exploded in the past few years. Using nontraditional methods (in concert with conventional approaches) to treat cancer and its side effects is becoming more and more common. However, not all methods are created equal. Here, in one up-to-date, comprehensive volume, cancer and integrative medicine experts examine the evidence, pro and con, for more than 200 treatment methods.

A trustworthy source of reliable information,

This review is from: American Cancer Society's Complete Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book provides a very comprehensive, OBJECTIVE, helpful review of many alternative therapies. Too often I find very anecdotal or subjective reviews of alternative therapies so this was a relief to find an OBJECTIVE review that I felt I could trust; I liked the detailed information from the well-designed, controlled clinical trials.

more or the same clap trap,
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Cancer Society's Complete Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is another platform for the American Cancer Society to disregard the science behind alternative cancer cures. Allopathic medicine has a horrendous record with cancer treatment but it makes a lot of money, so it continues its propaganda campaign against alternatives that work. The FDA, AMA, ACS, and NIH, are rampant with conflict of interest ties to the pharmaceutical industry and they want to keep their medical monopoly intact at any cost.The allopathic cancer industry uses wordplay to improve their dismal record of "cures". For instance, a "cure" is considered a person who is alive for five years after diagnosis of their cancer. It doesn't matter if the person is horribly ill with cancer for the whole five years, as long as that person lived for five years, even if doing chemo and radiation the entire time! If that person dies five years and one day after diagnosis, they are still written up as a cure and used in statistics to support allopathy's inferior product. No other branch of medicine uses such a smoke and mirrors word play to sell their wares. If you want to know what's really going on with alternative and allopathic cancer therapy, you'll need to read Outsmart Your Cancer by Tanya Pierce, or Cancer: Step Outside the Box by Ty M. Bollinger. But beware; you'll need a strong stomach for the allopathic medical politics that are revealed in both books. I cured my cancer with alternatives written about in those books. There are many, many others who have done the same. Open your mind; it will save your life. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: American Cancer Society's Complete Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
As a research librarian with substantive industry experience in oncology gorups, who has reviewed 1000s of articles and hundreds of texts in my career, I can authoratively state that this work offers an excellent highly detailed review that is easy to read for both the lay person and for the professional. It offers cited sources and offers some discussion of the natural products in other non-cancer indications as well.Source: Michael Delander author Vitamin D Handbook: Structures, Synonyms and Properties. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

got cancer?,

This review is from: American Cancer Society's Complete Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is a great reference book, clear and objective. Provided great information. It validated some things that we are doing right, and provided insite as to things that can have unwanted consequences. Especially with everyone and their dog claiming to have a cancer cure or prevention.
