Synopses & Reviews
The cancer mortality rate is about the same now as in 1971 when we declared war on the disease. Although spending over $200 billion so far in this war, we have lost more lives from cancer over the last four decades than in all the wars of our nation’s history. Tragically, our conventional treatment strategy of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery exclusively has continued virtually unchanged.
A few innovative oncologists are now practicing a new and proven strategy of integrative oncology. These doctors are complementing conventional treatment with personalized natural therapies that are more effective and reduce side effects. They help the body fight the cancer rather than be consumed by the treatment. This holistic approach to cancer treatment is the ultimate answer to victory over cancer.
Why is this clinically tested approach not being readily accepted by most mainstream oncologists? Why is it not conveniently available to the general public? Where can you get it? What do you need to do to support it? Find out inside A New Strategy for the War on Cancer.
Synopsis
The traditional strategy of exclusive conventional cancer treatment has not worked. Integrative oncology that prescribes tested natural, non-pharmaceutical therapies to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery is the answer. Major medical school cancer centers are researching and practicing this new state-of-the-art strategy, but it is not being accepted by main stream oncology. It must become acceptable and accessible to all cancer victims if cancer is to ever be defeated. Patients must insist on it and the general public must support it. The objective of A New Strategy for the War on Cancer is to reveal the new strategy to the public and to invoke a paradigm shift toward its adoption.
Synopsis
It’s about what a few dedicated, experienced cancer doctors and researchers are doing to revolutionize cancer treatment
Terry Thompson was compelled to write this book after realizing that conventional cancer treatment was not effective in saving the life of his wife or others who are dying at the rate of 1500 each day from the disease. His research highlights a new, proven approach that complements traditional chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. It is practiced by a new breed of “integrative” oncologists with astonishing results. The problem is that very few people know about it. Everyone touched by cancer—and that is everyone—needs to learn about this new therapy, where to get it, and how to support its acceptance and availability now.
Nearly 4,000 Americans a day are diagnosed with cancer
Odds are about 1 in 3 that you will be one of them someday
Someone very close to you will have cancer
You need to know more about this new strategy
It’s all in this comprehensive book
