Product Description

This book describes what cancer is - and the two ways of conceptualizing cancer; what the mainstream approaches are - and the pros and cons of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. It evaluates cancer research and explains some of the defects of the current situation. Having laid the foundations, this book then gives a detailed description of what the alternative approaches are: the tests you might want to consider, the detox regimes, the diets, vitamins, herbs, supplements, machines and other therapies that could give you a better than 90% chance of recovery from cancer. Yes, it's true.

The exciting truth is there are dozens of cures for cancer. But you can't do them if you don't know what they are - and you won't do them if you are not convinced they are the best way of dealing with your cancer.

Here is what some readers have said about the book.

"I devoured the entire [book] in one sitting. As I read, hope grew and grew. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You gave us hope when all we could see was despair and you gave us a path when we thought all was lost." - Mrs Colleen Crim

"I now can recommend your book to the people in my support group as "the" book to read. You have covered just about everything that I have read, and it took me over twenty books and innumerable downloads to do it. The book is more precious than gold!" - Richard Thompson

"This book tells me everything I want to know. Why didn't my doctor tell me this?" - Rev. Bill Newbern

"First of all let me say: Congratulations on your superb book!... Let me say immediately that your book is authoritative, reputable, and much more comprehensive and better balanced than the vast majority of other books on the topic. Also, it has much valuable material that I don't recall seeing in any other book. The book would strongly appeal to cancer patients and their families. ... the tone is engaging and lively and will appeal to anyone sympathetic to alternative approaches to cancer. You have succeeded in making a complicated subject accessible." - Leonard S. Rosenbaum, M.A., Board of Dirs., Intl. Assn. of Cancer Victors & Friends

"Mr Chamberlain has a voice that is at once humble and powerful. I like writers that cut to the chase, and then do not skimp on the practical details... and I really like his attitude. He speaks from the heart, but clearly wants you to use your head. Good combination." - Andrew Saul PhD., The Doctor Yourself Newsletter

From the Back Cover
This `big book' is co-published with a `little book' ( Cancer Recovery Guide: 15 Alternative and Complementary Strategies for Restoring Health ) that provides a speedy overview of the options and strategies.

About the Author
When Jonathan Chamberlain's daughter was born with Down Syndrome (she was later to suffer brain damage when a heart operation went wrong, leaving her blind, epileptic and so profoundly handicapped that she could not even sit up by herself) he founded two charities for handicapped children - The Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association and Mental Handicap Network China. So when his wife, Bernadette, was diagnosed with cancer, he brought his proactive instincts to bear to this new challenge.

The result was his first cancer book, Fighting Cancer: A Survival Guide. When this went out of print he re-organised the information and substantially updated it. Cancer: The Complete Recovery Guide was the result. This was followed shortly after by Cancer Recovery Guide: 15 Alternative and Complementary Strategies for Restoring Health.

His own personal story about the tragedy of his daughter and then his wife is described in his memoir, Wordjazz for Stevie, which can be downloaded free of charge from his website.

Jonathan grew up in Ireland but lived most of his life in Hong Kong. He now lives in Brighton, England.

Customer Reviews

If you have cancer you should read this book.
This book tells you what cancer is; what the pros and cons are with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy; what the other new mainstream treatments are; why cancer research is failing and what the alternative therapies are that many people are doing - often with great success: the additional diagnostic tests you might want to consider; the detox regimes; the diets, herbs, vitamins, supplements and other approaches that have helped. The pioneers that have been vilified despite anecdotal reports of success and so on. This book aims to provide a complete picture of the world of cancer. And it does so without hectoring or vilifying people who hold different opinions. It recognises that we are all different and will make different choices. I should declare my own interest in this book. I am the author and I researched this book as a result of my wife dying from cancer (and from the direct effects of the treatment she submitted to). I vowed that I would not go the same way - but I needed to know what the options were. This book was written above all to inform myself. In the book I tell the stories of over a dozen people who recovered from their cancers using alternative approaches - and they used different approaches so I think it is fair to say there are dozens of cures for cancer - but you can't do them if you don't know what they are.

The Cancer Reference Book
I recommend this book to everyone, whether or not you have cancer, as 'The' reference book on cancer. This book gives hope. It exposes that surgery and chemotherapy are just part of a huge armoury of cancer fighting therapies. It explains clearly the arguments for and against the multitude of treatments, both preventive and curative, and how to find them. I wish I had read this before I was diagnosed as doctors and the cancer charities didn't tell me any of this.

On a minor negative note, there are several typos which irritated me and, for such a well researched book, I would have liked to see a citation and bibliography section.

The best, most comprehensive, overview of cancer treatments
Being someone diagnosed as a terminal cancer patient, I have scoured the 'net and read many books. This is the best. And it gives hope too.
A very fair and readable, comprehensive, overview of the orthodox treatments as well as the many well-supported alternatives (with higher success rates).
With only 2% of chemotherapy patients surviving 5 years, there has to be a better way - and there is.
Get this book; read it; be inspired by it. Help yourself, your loved ones, and friends - most people get cancer eventually, and over a third die of it.
