I am so excited about this book. I have been researching how we can help ourselves win or even prevent battles against diseases – cancer included- without resorting to unnatural chemicals. Anti-oxidents occur naturally in foods, yet the potent doses some of our bodies need to prevent or fight diseases must be readily available. I have found iHerb to have the best services, the best choices and the best rates. Now I can afford to boost my own system as well as my families. What a great book, chock full of understandable facts.

For a few decades a few scientists, some of them Nobel laureates, have believed that antioxidants may prevent and even help to treat cancer. Some of the ideas and clinical results have been very promising, but have not received the attention they deserve. Even worse, unsubstantiated and even false claims have been bandied about by some of those who claim to know everything about the antioxidants, which makes anyone who touches the subject appear to be disreputable.

Enter Ralph Moss, PhD, formerly of Sloan-Kettering, who has done a first-rate job of going through myriad journals and papers and establishing which ideas about the use of antioxidants are scientifically proven. This book has no less than 460 references to papers on the subject, in other words, every contention of Dr. Moss’s is well documented. This certainly isn’t a rah-rah book; Moss carefully explains that certain antioxidants are known to worsen certain cancers; this is a field in which carelessness is particularly disasterous.

One of the most intriguing points he raises is that some cancers have been known to remit in response to large doses of CoEnzyme Q 10, a molecule that younger people are able to produce on their own, but which older people must ingest from their diet.

This book is so well researched and written that it ought to be read by anyone with cancer, as one would expect of a book written by the protégé of one of the Nobel laureates who first started thinking about the use of antioxidants to prevent and treat cancer. Albert von Szent-Györgi, one of the brighter Nobel laureates of the last century, mulled all this high up on his intellectual Mount Olympus; Dr. Moss has taken this down to us lesser mortals by putting his thoughts into understandable English and documenting what experimental proof there is for the use of antioxidants in treating cancer.

All cancer patients must co-doctor if they are going to survive. Most cancer doctors will warn against the harmful effects of taking antioxidants with chemotherapy or radiation treatments. This book completely debunks that medical school dogma.

As a cancer patient, you need to arm yourself with factual knowledge. This is one of the books you need to study and share with your doctor. It covers specific combinations of chemotherapy drugs and antioxidant supplements. If you can’t agree on what you should take, find another doctor.

It would have been helpful if Dr. Moss had mentioned some of the animal foods which contain high doses of Vitamin A and other antioxidants, but his emphasis is on supplements and “fruits and vegetables.” I still recommend you study this book closely BEFORE you agree to a treatment regimen for your cancer.

I bought this book (and some others) after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2003. Although, we had read a few negative things about using antioxidants with conventional therapies, this book gave us the courage (with solid scientific research of Dr. Moss) to apply antioxidant therapy WITH conventional therapies such as Chemo. I am writing this review to testify that the outcome in our case was nothing short of miracle. After chemo, the pathology report indicated a complete response. Now, my beloved wife is one more statistic showing synergy of conventional therapy with alternative therapy(if you can call antioxidants an alternative). Throughout the book, it shows that Dr. Moss is writing this book to help cancer patients. Use this book towards your goal of optimizing conventional, mainstream, treatments such as chemo and radiation. We have. I wish there was more specific information(in a table format) on how much of each antioxidants have shown to be effective in various cancer treatments. Nonetheless, one can tailor a regimen with guidelines provided in this book.

I happened onto this book and found it to be a gold mine of information. It was complete confirmation of the antioxidants and correct dosages that my doctor had prescribed. Dr. Moss is easy to read, explains in complete detail what, how much and where to get these antioxidants naturally. An easy guide for anyone wanting to use antioxidants to protect their body and keep it healthy. This is my first book by Ralph W. Moss, PhD., but certainly not my last! Dr. Moss has given me hope and confidence to continue to fight cancer using antioxidants and other alternatives in conjunction with conventional treatment and separately. Following Dr. Moss’s excellent recommendations will hopefully keep many people cancer free forever!
