I'm floored by the sheer amount of knowledge in this book. Cancer Uncensored is not only raw, clear, and focused, but it discusses all angles and corners of cancer and it's treatment. This book approaches the body as a whole, not simply focusing in on the cancer portion. Most importantly, the book hones in on cancer prevention - a topic widely ignored in today's medicine. Just as the book says, "It is time to get serious. It is time to SURVIVE." If you are serious about surviving, and want to know how to avoid or cure cancer, this is one of the best books I can think of to turn to.Anyone, and I mean anyone, can benefit from reading this book. The amount of information is absolutely mind-boggling. I personally had no idea that cancer was a recent development, and the types of foods that should be eaten (or avoided). This book even gets into the psychology of survival and environmental factors that should be avoided. While we each know on some level that certain activities and foods can raise our likelihood of getting cancer, it's immensely important to have these things all in one list and location.The icing on the cake? The author includes three "subcategories" to the book, each catering to your reading style (or even how much information you're willing to read through and absorb). He coins these "The Lazy Guide", "The Dedicated Guide", and "The Survivor's Guide". Depending on how much you're willing to dive into the book, each section can help you approach it. This is fantastic, considering that I know many people who need this information but are not avid readers. If you can't afford a large amount of time to the book, however, and still want the critical info, the author has made it easy.A good friend of mine was recently hospitalized and needed surgery on her brain to remove a malignant tumor. Shortly after, my aunt discovered she had ovarian cancer and is currently in treatment. These two women are fantastic women, have always been healthy, and never expected to have to deal with cancer in their lifetimes. Don't assume it won't happen to you, and don't underestimate the knowledge in this book - it can help save your life, and the lives of your loved ones. I know I'll be keeping this book as a handy reference guide, and passing the word on to my friends, healthy and otherwise!
