Book description
Would it surprise you to hear that one in four people are affected by
cancer? If you knew that simple lifestyle changes could significantly
reduce your chances of developing the disease, would you take advantage
of your natural defences? 'I had cancer. I was diagnosed for the first
time 15 years ago. I received conventional treatment and the cancer went
into remission, but I relapsed after that. Then I decided to learn
everything I could to help my body defend itself against the illness.
I've lived cancer free now for seven years. In this book, I'd like to
tell you the stories - scientific and personal - behind what I learned.'

and individual guide that will allow you to make the best choices for
