Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer and How To Prevent Getting it in the First Place
In Knockout, Suzanne Somers interviews doctors who are successfully using the most innovative cancer treatments—treatments that build up the body rather than tear it down. Somers herself has stared cancer in the face, and a decade later she has conquered her fear and has emerged confident with the path she's chosen.

Suzanne Somers’ book Knockout is something any person not onboard with today’s “one treatment fits all” protocol for combating cancer should read. As the cover states, the book contains interviews with doctors who are curing cancer and also offers scientifically proven advice for those wishing to prevent getting cancer.

I always figured that Suzanne Somers was some flaky blond celebrity, because that's how she always seems when she's on the Home Shopping Network. I wasn't very interested in reading any of her books because they all seemed like a stiff read, about hormones and ageing and stuff like that. Then one morning I saw her on the Today show and she was talking about how one morning she woke up and was covered in a rash and couldn't breathe. She went to the hospital and they told her that she has full bod...more
I'll give this four stars for information and because Suzanne Somers continues to stick it to conventional medicine. In this case cancer docs who are bought and paid for by big pharma. She counteracts the destruction of mostly useless and harmful chemo and radiation by interviewing doctors, nutritionists and researchers who try to manage cancer in different ways with better results than with conventional therapies. Suzanne Somers has a definite point of view but recognizes that most people aren'...more
I got halfway through this book. In some respects, it's the kind of book you'd expect from a celebrity who feels passionately about how she dealt with her own cancer. Somers was treated with conventional cancer treatment, and has since eschewed conventional treatment in favor of alternative treatment. It is biased completely towards that approach.

Although Suzanne Somers might seem an unlikely source of insightful information about cancer, the fact is that this book is a terrific overview of alternative options for cancer treatment. The majority of the discussion is her just letting the doctors she is highlighting explain their methodology and treatment regimens, and the results, which are impressive. The book provides a very useful bibliography and "where to find" section at the end. I will keep the book around.

I finished reading Knockout by Suzanne Somers. This book left me with nothing but pure admiration & respect for her. I applaud you Suzanne Somers! It takes a lot of courage to stand up when no one else will, especially when the powers that be make it their main focus to publically ridicule you any opportunity they get.

This book has honestly changed the way I look at my health and healthcare. I feel my eyes have been opened and I feel empowered. I wish I could convince all of my loved ones to read this book. If I could pass on a single lesson of this book it is that your health is your responsibility and no one should blindly follow what any doctor tells you. My fear is that now that my eyes have been opened standing by and watching loved ones make uninformed choices will be literally painful. I can’t say...more
When first reading one of Somers's previous books, it was hard to reconcile the over-bleached, overblown, over-the-top, ditzy actress with the natural health zealot she's become in real life. By the end, I had to admit that, like me, she's a proponent of personal responsibility for your own health and she does a very good job of researching her topic and interviewing her sources.

For anyone who has had a family member diagnosed with cancer, for anyone who wants to protect themselves from getting cancer, or for anyone undergoing standard medical treatment, this is a must read -- no, make that a Please Read! I'm learning so much about why we are not winning the war against cancer and about doctors who are!

This is one of the most complete and forward thinking books on the topic of cancer. Suzanne interviews doctors with many different expertise in alternative health / wellness. Suzanne's personal story in the first chapter gave me chills. You will always trust your instincts and not completely rely on conventional medicine ever again. So thankful Suzanne shared that personal story and interviewed so many doctors who are making a difference in the lives of others.
I had heard a lot about Suzanne Somers new book, KNOCKOUT (Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer.) I decided to read it and I'm glad that I did. I was very interested in the section on "How To Prevent Getting Cancer in the First Place." Her interviews with these doctors were fascinating. I didn't know that Suzanne Somers is a cancer survivor. We would all benefit from the advise the doctors give on how to deal with cancer and how to prevent it.
Picked this up off recent book shelf at library and was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it - a good book full of information on alternative treatments for cancer. I really like the author's approach that everyone has to make of their own mind and do whats best for them. So the book approached things from the mindset of here is information and whats working for some people - perhaps you can find something in here too if you have cancer and want to know all your options. I like that.
I tried to read this book. I couldn't get past the first chapter. While the author's experience is real and genuine to her. She went on ad nauseum about her family and their loving devotion to her to the point that I lost all interest in reading any further about her interviews with the doctors and her suggestions for alternative cures to cancer. To put it frankly, her description left this reader nauseous.

Everyone should read this book. Ignore the fact that it's written by Suzanne Somers, if that bothers you, but I guarantee that she's no dumb blonde. Not only are the advances in so called 'alternative' cancer treatments getting great results that are far beyond traditional chemo and radiation results(traditional treatments are only effective in getting rid of the cancer 2.5% of the time), but what doctors have to say about mammograms is an eye opener. Do yourself and those you love a favor, read...more
If only... I knew about this book when my dad was diagnosed with cancer... Maybe he would still be around. Thank SS for writing this great book! I am not scared of cancer any longer! A must read for EVERYONE, not just those with cancer. Cancer is number one killer in USA now.
Wow. My new hero Suzanne Somers speaks eloquently about the debilitating effects of the huge cancer treatment business paradigm, becoming "pharmaceuticalized" in her own emergency, receiving a dire misdiagnosis to her family's major trauma, and in favor of true hero doctors who risk being shunned by the "standard of care" oncology establishment run by big pharma. Everyone, whether they have cancer or not, should read this book. Those who already have cancer will read it wi...more
Ms. Somers interviews pioneer professionals in breast cancer medicine and procedures. It provides positive information about alternative therapies. It's too bad the medical industry doesn't explore options which do not involve poisoning and mutilation.
I recommend this book to anyone that wants to gain a better understanding of the common misconceptions we have in regards to conventional medicine. I strongly believe that to be and stay healthy you must educate yourself. This book was amazing.
This is a very informative book on the "who's who" of doctors and laypersons using and informing on innovative and effective alternative cancer treatments...as well as a section on how to prevent cancer in the first place!
Because of the health problems and the fact that I believe in natural healing and that the AMA is blocking health care cures. This is a good book for anyone to read that has someone with Cancer

We're heading into the sugar shock season and soon we'll be twitching from all the sugar pumping through our veins from Halloween to Christmas.

My father-in-law highly recommended this book about how to prevent cancer. This topic interests me because I may have the same genes as my sister who died of pancreatic cancer last year.
Exceptionally great book. She interviews several doctors who are curing cancer. It's nice to know some good foods to help prevent cancer and eat healthy, as well.
I loved this book, which is probably not a huge surprise since I know about and agree with the natural and alternative health topics mentioned. I did learn lots of new information, too. I definitely think this book is one everyone should read, regardless of their current stance on this. There is so much info that would be beneficial to know about.
If anyone has cancer this book is a must. If for no other reason but to give you hope AND the tools for you to use in your fight.
I like reading Suzanne's health books. This is a great resource for those who want to know what the leading edge treatments are.
It is empowering to know that there are ways to PREVENT not just treat cancer! However, this information does not make nearly as much money as continuing as we do ... getting the disease, the tests, the hospitals, the surgeries - they don't call it the Health Industry for nothing. They are in it to make money. Once you realize you have power over your health (mind / body / spirit) imagine how your life would change!

Wow. What to say? This book is simply amazing. A must read for anyone with cancer or who knows someone with cancer. There are tons of interviews with Dr's who have various approaches to dealing with cancer. Also, in the back of the book there are websites & info. on how to get in touch with Dr's in your area. This is a book of hope for those who want alternatives to the normal "medicine" but there are also tips & ideas for those who want to go the more "traditional route" in ...more
I especially love her chapter on things you can do to help, even if you decide to go with traditional therapy. Since I have started chemo, will do surgery for breast cancer, followed by radiation, I found this chapter extremely helpful.
Really eye opening. Turned my perspective on cancer, prevention, and treatment, and its relationship to nutrition, on its head. Suzanne Somers' ranting within the book doesn't add to it, but I tuned her out to read the doctors' interviews.
