Another cancer book that I would recommend to anyone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle. The author is a physician who found out he himself had brain cancer by accident while working on clinical trials. This chronicles his journey and how his own diagnosis changed the way he conducted his research, and eventually his life. It advocates a holistic approach but the nutrition stuff is actually backed up by hard science. It's not a self-help book, but he does touch on the subject of how such a diagnosis can affect personal relationships and self worth. My favorite part is near the end when he discusses how he cames to terms with his own mortality. I have changed my diet as a result of reading this; he uses a scientific appproach but does so in layman's terms and I understood a lot of stuff after reading it that I had heard about before but didn't quite "get," like the relationship between the glycemic load of a food and subsequent spike in insulin is related to cancer-cell growth.
