From the Author
"The public hasn't had the first clue about how to prevent cancer," attests physician Dr. Christopher S. Clark of the book. "This book provides that clue and more. This offers effective prevention if people follow the guidelines."

"It was simply time for this book," says Sharma. "We want the public to understand that you can prevent cancer, and you don't need pharmaceuticals to do it."

Be your own medic and get your body to fight cancer
I was so delighted when I read 'The Answer to cancer ...' I wrote to my local newspaper - and they printed it !! I am already practicing many of the techniques - which is why I know what the authors are saying is right. Here's a copy of the article:-

Be your own medic and get your body to fight cancer [editorial heading]

I have noticed many articles on many diseases, and remarks on
complementary
health care - being expensive. A new book has been purchased by
Sheffield Central Library - 'The Answer to Cancer Is never Giving It a Chance to
Start - very simple ways to avert a very big calamity and not getting sick
from chemo'. Although the title refers to cancer - a huge killer
disease -
it describes a range of simple techniques for preventing, alleviating and often curing a broad range of modern
illnesses. Things we can do from home simply, safely and cheaply. A First Aid book for 21st Century, complete with references for Health Professionals, it tells:
* Which Indian spice protects your DNA (where cancer starts)
* How cancer cells crave sugar, and how to block sugar cravings
* How to get your body to manufacture Interleukin-2 (a prescription anti-cancer drug)
* Why natural killer cells are good, and how to keep them flowing
* What food supplement can fight bad toxins without blocking
chemotherapy's 'good toxins'
* Simple steps to fight colds, the flu, insomnia and more.

The most expensive investment would be learning to transcend as part of our daily routine. p149 'Transcending is a killer cancer fighter. It makes all other cancer fighting techniques work better - not just a little bit better, but way, way better.'

However the first step is just to read the book - and
see what healthy changes we can make first. Enormous improvements in our lives can happen through the simplest changes. Time to start becoming our own pharmacist and strengthening our immune systems ?

Laugh out loud at a cancer book!
This book about fighting cancer through Ayurvedic preventative health is practical, simple and life-saving. Anyone can do this, no sweat.
'Answer to Cancer' is extremely valuable just for that. What makes it extraordinary is that it's funny! Belly laugh funny. Jim Meade uses humor to make a seriously scary subject go down easy, in the most sincere, compassionate way.
I think the best recommendation comes from my 23 year old daughter, a cool realist with a highly sensitive BS meter, and plenty of attitude. She read a few pages of our copy, and promptly adopted it. We had to get another one.
I recommend 'Answer to Cancer' for everyone on your Christmas list - it's ridiculously cheap, and worth it's weight in gold!

Highly rewarding and uplifting book!!!
This books contains all you need to know to live not only healthily but also to really< enjoy your life at the same time! This book gives you an astounding amount of informations but without overburdening you. It just anticipates the questions that you might have in regard to the "how"s and "why"s. Everything is cooked down to the essentials - you are not overwhelmed with "do's" and "don'ts". Instead the book is full of jokes, really inspiring, brightening your day, uplifting and encouraging.
The book is briefing you about all you need to know to live life happily and avoid the terrible disease mentionned in the title.
It is however NOT only for people in fear of (recurrence) of cancer - it is for all who want to have a brief, yet all-comprehensive book on how to live ayurvedically and joyfully at the same time.
It is a book you will ENJOY to read - it is highly informative and it is very readable!

My compliments to the authors! I wouldn't want to miss it anymore - it should become a standard book for all health conscious individuals. Also, it is the kind of book you will enjoy to read even at bedtime five minutes before falling asleep. It is a very positive outlook on health.
