David Servan-Schreiber

the fact that he survived one of the most deadly cancers is quite self-evident for the anti-cancer life style he promotes. On the other hand, he has clearly painted a dire picture for veering off course by suggesting his own failure in not following course had resulted in his relapse. All said, however, the devil is in the details, and the details are for individuals to judge. For example, i would not classify chocolate as anti-cancer. As a general guideline, his writing was concise and effective.

If you read between the lines, it is not difficult to derive at what type of cancer he was diagnosed with (by ruling out what type of milder malignancies he was not having). Just to confirm what I believed, I contacted him and he has backed it up in an email. Out of respect to his privacy, I shall not relay the info in public, but if anyone wishes we can have private discussion about it.

The science of proving carcinogenesis causal-effect relationship, and that of explaining miraculous remission from aggressive cancer such as David's, is at best still primitive, or at worst non-existent. Therefore evidence-based science or peer reviewed biology is not what the books are about, nontheless, I found the books by Devra and David convey the wisdom of generations of bright people in dealing with cancer.

By the way, if any of you want to keep man-made cancers away from your loved ones in the future, please read or watch Devra Davis.
