Customer Reviews

A must-read for any serious investigator!

I have to say that this book impacted me more than any other book on alternative cancer treatments -- and I've read scores of them. Richard Walters has done an excellent job of researching and presenting the histories and theories of most of the approaches you will ever hear about in your search for answers. And the way he presents the material is exciting and easy-to-understand. I take my hat off to this author for the gift of information he has given the world in such a well-written fashion. He may not present a few of the more recently developed cancer approaches, such as Poly-MVA or Protocel, but his chapters on many other current therapies such as Burzynski's antineoplastons, Hydrazine Sulfate, DMSO, the Gerson Therapy, 714X, and Iscador (what Suzanne Somers used), among others, are truly award-winning. For anyone wanting an in-depth understanding and overview of alternative cancer therapies up to recent years, this book is a must-read!

Excellent guide to many alternative therapies.

I've read this book many times and have tabbed page after page. My wife and I have given this book as gifts to both friends and work colleagues who have been diagnosed with cancer. I recommend this for anyone--whether they have or do not have cancer. There are options presented here that are viable. Options that permit people suffering from cancer to enjoy a higher quality of life. Options other than cut, burn, and/or poison.

A guide to cancer treatment history

Richard Walters has compiled a wonderful reference book on the origins and history of various "alternative" cancer treatments. If you are considering a certain treatment, you would be wise to look into this book's writeup on it. You will find accurate information on how it evolved and how, in many cases, it has been suppressed by the orthodox cancer "establishment." You will even find some resources to contact about it. The major problem is that this book was published in 1993. The Internet had not been born. Not a single web site is cited in this book. In contrast, my book, printed 10 years later, lists 137 useful web sites fot the cancer patient, selected from among the thousands of candidates. My free biweekly newsletters cite additional helpful web sites in every edition. Use this book for its purpose -- researching the background on a particular therapy. Don't rely on it for up-to-date information.

Options: The Alternative Cancer Therapy Book

Excellent book. Easy to understand. Covers the alternatives thoroughly and objectively. Gives references and contacts. I'm a visiting nurse and I'll be sharing this book with my patients. I wish I could buy fifty of them to give to people.

The best medicine a cancer victim can have!

Got cancer like me? Fight and don't ever give up...no matter what. Read the "conclusion" first of this fine work. Then read the rest. When you do you'll save yourself. One of the best books on fighting cancer I've read and I've read many in my fight. The author did a through and splendid job. Every cancer patient should be given this book by their doctor, but don't count on it...this has everything your doctor doesn't want you to know.
