Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition
This book was a huge disappointment. It is barely readable. It appears the author found articles and lists on the Internet about the topic, and copy-pasted them into a Word document. The result is a confusing hodge-podge of disorganized and unsubstantiated hype. Frankly, I found it almost insulting. The author took very little care in crafting this book, and appears to have little regard for his readers. It reads more like a series of advertorials, and, while there might be some worthwhile information buried in this mess, it is clearly aimed at uncritical, uneducated readers who believe anything anyone tells them. Don’t waste your money.

Stephen J Gould DID die of abdominal mesothelioma 20 years later and not of another disease. Such a glaring mistake would cause me to be skeptical of other information in this book.The abdominal mesothelioma was removed and some malignant mesothelioma cells were left behind.Over the 20 yrs ,post excision these cells migrated into the lungs and a walnut sized tumor developed in the lung growing undetected during this time The malpractice case is in the courts,on behalf of Steven J Gould brought by his wife and has yet to be decided.I have prostate cancer and regardless of where the metastasis is located,being the bone or soft tissue,it is still regarded as prostate cancer and that goes for any cancer including mesothelioma.Gould’s cancer is still mesothelioma even though it was located in the lung and other soft tissues.The question is why did it remain undetected for so long a period?

I haven’t read the book yet, but gave it 5 stars, because it’s about time medical doctors realize that integrative medicine (and especially diet) is key to good health. My mentor, Andrew Weil, MD, has been saying this for years and years!! Dr. Weil’s books and website are excellent! It would be wonderful if all medical doctors would realize the importance of integrative medicine without having to first become a patient.

I bought and paid for 2 of these books – one to give to a friend. This was around 31 May 2009. Today is 2 July and I still haven’t received them. It is very disappointing and I am quite angry about it because the shipping was very expensive and altogether, it cost me some NZD$100 which is a lot of money.
The rate this item is for the book – NOT THE SELLER!!! My sister has this book, so I am rating it based on what little I have read.
What are my rights in this instance? If this is how it’s like and it’s my first time buying anything from Amazon, then I won’t bother buying again. I am really PISSED OFF. If someone from Amazon could get back to me, I would be grateful.

I received the book much sooner than I thought I might and it was in perfect condition.
