“Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. and most conventional treatments are tragically ineffective and counterproductive.
Defeat Cancer
is a highly useful resource that provides insights from some of the leading natural medicine cancer experts. If you or a loved one are challenged with cancer, this book will provide you with a valuable perspective that you will likely not hear from your oncologists.”

“I have practiced medicine for 53 years, and a world without cancer is possible NOW. This book is a must-read and belongs in the hands of anyone who is affected by cancer.”

“Defeat Cancer
is a superb compilation of rarely discussed approaches to treating cancer using integrative therapies. If I were diagnosed with cancer,
Defeat Cancer
would be a must-have resource. I’d read every chapter until I found the doctor that resonated with me the most strongly. Then, I’d make an appointment and start my journey back to better health the very next day.”

“I wish this book had been available to me twelve years ago when I was first diagnosed with cancer. Without exception, due to their passion, dedication, intelligence and courage, the doctors portrayed in this book are all true healers. I consider them to be intrepid fellow explorers, who are seeking to find help and comfort for their patients.”

“Here are well-experienced physicians you can ‘interview’ by reading their philosophy and approach. Cancer does not have to be a death sentence, even late stage. Please read and study the information in this book. You do have many wonderful and often effective alternatives to conventional ‘slash, burn and poison’ cancer therapy.”
