Cancer: The Healthy Option

One of the difficulties of illness is the air of secrecy that often surrounds the patient. Yet most cancer patients want to know what’s happening to them and why, which treatments are available, and how to better protect themselves from a recurrence. Cancer: The Healthy Option clearly explains the various treatment options, with statistics showing the success rate and side effects of each. The book’s emphasis, however, is on the creation of health rather than on treatment. It focuses on preventing the onset of cancer, or its recurrence, by strengthening the body’s defenses through nutrition, exercise, and emotional well–being. To this end, Terry Moule, President of the British Naturopathic and Osteopathic Association, offers target exercises, relaxation techniques, and a range of recipes using cancer–fighting ingredients.
