Book Title: Anticancer: A New Way of Life

Author: David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD

Selection Statement:

Having been affected personally by cancer, Anticancer: A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schreiber has special meaning to me. It has forever changed the way I perceive life and cancer. Anticancer is a well-researched and well-written book that not only provides in detail what makes cancer cells proliferate, but also offers proactive measures in the prevention of cancer. Servan-Schreiber combines science with personal experience to demystify cancer and empower his readers: we CAN protect ourselves and our loved ones by making the right choices. I chose this book because I hope that some of the information provided by the author becomes common knowledge to readers. Until a cure is discovered, prevention is our best defense against many types of cancer.
