Over the past year or so I have collected a few books that have helped me move towards a healthier lifestyle. These are of great benefit to everyone (not just us cancer patients). So I decided that anyone reading my blog is welcome to check them out. I have included the author and ISBN number in case you want to buy your own copy. Contact me if you want to borrow one.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: Nature’s Ultimate Antioxidant

Beating Cancer with Nutrition
Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS

Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You to Know About
Kevin Trudeau
ISBN 0-9755995-1-8
“Loan to us by our cousin Kathleen, I read this book while I was in the hospital in Mexico. It is an amazing collection of information that forces you to question the whole medical merry-go-round and whether the FDA has our interests at heart.”
Questioning Chemotherapy
Ralph W. Moss PhD
ISBN 1-881025-25-X
“If you have to go into chemotherapy, this book is a must. I only got this book after my first round and wish I would have had it earlier. You go into this process so ignorant and unarmed when it comes to talking with nurses and your doctor.”

Supercharge Your Immunity
Norman D. Ford

“The approach for treating cancer in Mexico, and many other countries, is to supercharge your immune system so that your own body can fight it off. This is very different from what we do here in the US. This book takes many angles and comes up with 18 natural ways to build your immunity.”
What to Eat if You Have Cancer: A Guide to Adding Nutritional Therapy to Your Treatment Plan

World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17

“Medical lobbyist got a law passed in this country that says only a patentable drug can claim to cure a disease. So much for Vitamin C curing Scurvy. Since the 60’s there has been a lot of research on whether cancer is a vitamin deficiency. Vitamin B17 shows great promise, yet is all but banned in this country. Guess who is taking it…”
Your Body’s Many Cries for Water
