You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions

Dr. Helvie has written a highly informative and readable book that offers encouragement to lung cancer patients and to those with other types of cancer as well. He tells his own story of long-term lung cancer survival and many other survival stories are shared as well.The book includes very interesting chapters by physicians, researchers and nutritionists who are experts in treatment of lung cancer. They offer alternative approaches that can be used alone or in concert with traditional treatments. The physicians have much higher survival and cure rates than those using traditional treatment alone.What I particularly liked about the book is its holistic approach that addresses a body, mind and spirit approach to healing from cancer. Dr. Helvie is devoted to helping others thorough his books, his holistic health radio show, and personal contact. This is an excellent book for those seeking to beat lung cancer and other types of this disease, and also for those looking to live a lifestyle that prevents cancer.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The book is more technical than I expected which is not a problem for me but might be for some people just getting started in researching this topic. Everyone should read it but maybe not as the first book read.

I would like to give it a higher rating; but, the chapter on nutrition was so far off the mark and potentially dangerous to other readers. The particular chapter wasn't even written by Helvie but rather by some apparently quack nutritionist. As nutrition is probably the most important aspect of healing cancer, a three is probably generous.The rest of the book was excellent. This is a good place to start for anyone recently diagnosed.

This book was jam packed with practical tips and suggestions. I liked his positive attitude. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars was that I was hoping for very specific information about the physical aspects of lung cancer recovery. However, it has been like 20 years so maybe it wasn't as fresh in his mind. Overall a very good read.

I haven't read it aal but I bought it for a friend that has lung cancer so I thought she would like to read it but she is not willing to try the alternatives that this book suggest.

It gave a very good overview/summary of Alternative medicines to cure cancer. Western medicine is one of 1) cut -surgery; 2) poison - chemo that also murder our immune system and 3) burn - radiation. This book give several alternatives.

This is an all inclusive book on Alternative and Integrative treatments. Helvie tells how he has continuously beat lung cancer for nearly 40 years. I have cancer and I have turned to Alternative treatment, I have read many cancer books, but this book gives Helvie's own personal experience. I feel a lot of sincerity, honesty and integrity are in these pages.

Very complicated formulas for beating cancer and not guaranteed. Wife has cancer. Did not want to go through the regiment suggested in the book. Not saying is won't work just that not for her.

Very interesting book but no we couldn't beat lung cancer so not really sure what the benefit was to be honest

Very useful information which has helped my Husband to be positive throughout his battle with Cancer.Together with the new diet and with the Hospital treatment he is now in remission. He has also used Asparagus and Graviola Tree Fruit Juices.Seems he is having considerable success. We are now both very optimistic and hoping for a future.
