Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer--And How to Prevent Getting It in the First Place

This book is a great book to read before starting treatment. It's so upbeat and opens the mind up to Worlds of possibilities. I was cheap and bought it used on some website so I had to wait to get it. When I finally got it I had already been done surgery and I had wished I had read it first before I began treatment. Besides having such a positive attitude it was so full of information I think that would have benefited me. It's still benefited me by the time I read it but this was the one book I regretted not reading sooner. Now there is so much more we know about cancer but it's still a great book and a refreshing Outlook. It's written kind of in an essay form about different doctors and their approaches. If your mind is the type that likes new possibilities and different ways of approaching health I highly recommend it.

I was recently diagnosed with my own breast cancer, and wanted information from outside the preverbial "box" of mainstream thinking. It was even better than I had expected. I am forever grateful to Suzanne Somers for writing such a captivating and highly informational book. It is filled with great discussions from the Dr.'s themselves, and Ms. Somers asks really great questions. I believe in what these Dr's are doing, as their patients are actually and truly living proof, that there are several alternatives to conventional approaches to treating cancer, ie; radiation and chemo. Not only are these Dr's healing people, but they are doing so without such horrific side effects or dangers. I have tremendous respect for Ms. Somers for having brought these Dr's into the mass public through this book and for having the courage herself to take a different path in her own cancer recovery. She is inspiring as are the Dr's and people in this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more than the conventional standard of care. I believe that these Dr.'s are doing more for cancer patients and those patients are beating cancer. You can't deny the statistics. Clearly conventional medicine needs to reassess their practice. Dr's Stanislaw Burzynski and Nicholas Gonzalez are beating all the odds. Read for yourself and make your own opinion. I think you will be amazed by this book, I sure was! Excellent book!!

This book is an excellent presentation and collection of cancer treatment alternatives, educating the reader that one really has options when it comes to cancer treatment. Because of my husband's diagnosis of cancer, a type of lymphoma, I did extensive research on the internet. This included searching for books on amazon.com, reading articles published on the internet, etc. As a result of my search for books on amazon, I discovered some excellent resources which include this book. We also read with great interest Dr. Russell Blaylock's book, Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients, and Dr. Patrick Quillen's book, Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Ms. Somers interviews Dr. Blaylock in her book, amongst other interviews with physicians and practitioners of alternative medicine. For anyone who themselves has received this very scary diagnosis, or a loved one, the fear and great sadness and emotional pain is indescribable. And Ms. Somers describes her own very harrowing experience, not only because of the diagnosis itself, but at the hands of a very insensitive doctor. And thankfully she had a very supportive husband through the whole ordeal. But as you will read in this book, should you choose to purchase it, you will see that much of the scare and fear one feels upon hearing this diagnosis come primarily because of the great failure of accepted, conventional cancer treatment, namely chemotherapy and radiation, in treating about 90% of cancers. And I believe the scariest thing likely in anyone's mind, is knowing what chemo will do to a patient receiving it: In fact, the diagnosis translates into one's mind as certain death from cancer, when actually 99% of the time, it is certain death from the damage that chemo does to the body more than the cancer itself. And that is chemo without any nutritional support, as most US oncologists will tell a patient "not to take antioxidants, as it helps the cancer." And these drs. ignore the studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals that show otherwise. Enough said, just read Ms. Somers' book on this. It so happened that my husband had a very treatable form of cancer, one of three (as you will also see in this book) in that it responds well, typically, to chemotherapy and radiation. How fortunate we happened to be. In the process of doing all the research I did, (as I had not read this book yet), including visiting a local health foods store, we were led to a center in Seattle that specializes in integrative cancer therapy, specifically, combining allopathic (conventional) cancer treatments with nutritional and alternative treatments. Our insurance co. would not pay for the chemo at that center. So he received chemo locally, and continued his alternative care under a naturopath at the Seattle center. As a result, my husband fared quite well during chemo, and was able to continue working, even overtime, with some fatigue and "chemo brain fog" and hardly any sickness. His local oncologist was surprised he was still working, telling us that most on his chemo regimen are unable to work. Well, of course, need we wonder why. Ms. Somers' interviews with these various physicians are fascinating with her astute questions, and a much, much needed compilation of information, normally not out in the forefront for most seekers of this type of information. In fact, this information is skillfully kept "under the radar" by the all-powerful drug companies who themselves are funding the medical schools (as you will read in the book - see the interview of Dr. Blaylock on this). I personally have always told people that all of the brilliance of the doctors is funneled into the pills that that they are constrained to prescribe, wondering if I was being totally accurate. Dr. Blaylock elaborates on this much better than I could, and confirms what I had already sensed, in his interview with Ms. Somers. Thankfully, Ms. Somers' celebrity status is a wonderful marketing tool for getting this information out. How thankful I am that she used her celebrity in such a way, as it has the potential to save many, many lives. And no doubt, her book is forcing many in the established medical circles to take note, whether they like it or not. If the methods the doctors and practioners are describing here became widely practiced, insurance costs per capita would go way, way down and be exponentially more effective than conventional chemo alone, or even better, in place of chemo. And insurance would be much more obtainable by a much greater percentage of the population. This would be, however, much to the chagrin of the drug companies and conventional cancer treatment givers who are paid handsomely by the insurance companies. How sad on one hand that we have to have a "grass roots" movement to defend our right to the tools and professionals for true health and wellness, with the conventional medical establishment and way too powerful drug companies fighting us on the other side. Of course, they stand to lose billions of bucks if this information begins to gain credence in the minds of the American population. And this is not credence in a theory; there are many studies published on this (carefully squelched), and the doctors Ms. Somers interviews have years of success to prove it, as the patient case studies/success stories for each doctor will show.

Me encanto, de verdad lo tienen que leer muy certero y apto para aplicar en la vida lo recomiendo al 100 porciento

The book contains what I consider very useful information about other ways to look at prevention and treatment of cancer.

. This is a very useful book to help understand more about how to avoid and cure cancer. Suzanne Somers interviews 12 doctors who are either CURING cancer or who give advice about how to avoid cancer. The first few chapters of the book are wasted with her story of how a life-threatening incident of poisoning by exotic plants was mis-diagnosed as terminal cancer. The main chapters are each devoted to an interview with 1 of the 12 doctors who are curing cancer or who who give advice about how to avoid cancer. Most of the doctors are very critical of the classical approach to cancer, which they summarize as "Cut, Burn & Poison" ( IE: Surgery, Radiation & Chemo-therapy ) If you can sort out the "wacky" from the useful science then this is a wonderful resource. There is an excellent listing of many doctors in USA who are active in this work. Overall, a superb book and well worth reading. .

A lire absolument. Ca change la vie! Pour ne plus avoir peur du cancer et savoir comment se traiter sans se détruire.

Excellent book with references on the back where to find help in your area if needed. Gives the deep insight on chemo and why it doesn't work and just weakens the patients immune system and the patient dies. Tells us the best way to fight cancer is with our immune system less toxic than chemo. And explains how we can boost our immune system to fight and prevent cancers of any kind. Further more she interviews a few doctors in New York on different alternative treatments on curing cancer. Most cases are stage 4 cancers and each patient is given months to weeks to live. And so much more info. Worth every penny.
