Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy: Promising Nontoxic Antitumor Agents from Plants and Other Natural Sources

"This is an excellent book for anyone seeking seriously researched alternatives to the toxic cancer therapies usually on offer and it should be valuable to both health professionals and the educated layman. This book is not a light read though and getting through it will require some determination for people (like me) whose knowledge of medicine and biochemistry is nil. Having said that, people who are dealing with cancer in their own lives or those of their loved ones tend to be very determined anyway so any time spent reading this book will be well spent.

If you want a book that is still well researched but much lighter and can be read in an hour or two then I recommend ' Reducing Cancer Risk' by Richard Harkness. The material contained in there will probably spur you on to make the effort and read 'Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy'.

Another book well worth getting is published by Life Extension Foundation and is called 'Disease Prevention and Treatment', once again a research based book of really alternative therapies but in thic case integrated with conventional medicine.

Reading these three books will give you a new perspective on what can be done (and usually isn't) in the fight against cancer."
