A phenomenal book on adjuvants in cancer therapy that is both conservative and very thorough

For a few decades a few scientists, some of them Nobel laureates, have believed that antioxidants may prevent and even help to treat cancer. Some of the ideas and clinical results have been very promising, but have not received the attention they deserve. Even worse, unsubstantiated and even false claims have been bandied about by some of those who claim to know everything about the antioxidants, which makes anyone who touches the subject appear to be disreputable. Enter Ralph Moss, PhD, formerly of Sloan-Kettering, who has done a first-rate job of going through myriad journals and papers and establishing which ideas about the use of antioxidants are scientifically proven. This book has no less than 460 references to papers on the subject, in other words, every contention of Dr. Moss's is well documented. This certainly isn't a rah-rah book; Moss carefully explains that certain antioxidants are known to worsen certain cancers; this is a field in which carelessness is particularly disasterous. One of the most intriguing points he raises is that some cancers have been known to remit in response to large doses of CoEnzyme Q 10, a molecule that younger people are able to produce on their own, but which older people must ingest from their diet. This book is so well researched and written that it ought to be read by anyone with cancer, as one would expect of a book written by the protégé of one of the Nobel laureates who first started thinking about the use of antioxidants to prevent and treat cancer. Albert von Szent-Györgi, one of the brighter Nobel laureates of the last century, mulled all this high up on his intellectual Mount Olympus; Dr. Moss has taken this down to us lesser mortals by putting his thoughts into understandable English and documenting what experimental proof there is for the use of antioxidants in treating cancer.

Must read for anybody with cancer

This book provides concise information regarding nutritional supplements that are effective in fighting cancer. I am battling Colon Cancer. Traditional medicine has its place, but the statistics were not very comforting. I thus have spent a great deal of time researching CAM (complimentary alternative medicines). One is quickly overwhelmed by the volume of (often contradictory) information available via web and books. For this, Dr. Moss is a goldmine. This book allows one to setup an affordable supplement program based on current scientific research, not quackery. I am happy to report that I have done very well with the chemo, and am confident that I will beat this cancer.I recommend that you visit his website cancerdecisions.com, and consider buying his detailed report for your cancer. He covers all traditional complimentary treatments that are helpful, and has spent great deal of time investigating the offshore clinics. I purchased the Colon Cancer report. It is the best money I have spent since I was diagnosed.

A great companion for cancer patients

I bought this book (and some others) after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2003. Although, we had read a few negative things about using antioxidants with conventional therapies, this book gave us the courage (with solid scientific research of Dr. Moss) to apply antioxidant therapy WITH conventional therapies such as Chemo. I am writing this review to testify that the outcome in our case was nothing short of miracle. After chemo, the pathology report indicated a complete response. Now, my beloved wife is one more statistic showing synergy of conventional therapy with alternative therapy(if you can call antioxidants an alternative). Throughout the book, it shows that Dr. Moss is writing this book to help cancer patients. Use this book towards your goal of optimizing conventional, mainstream, treatments such as chemo and radiation. We have. I wish there was more specific information(in a table format) on how much of each antioxidants have shown to be effective in various cancer treatments. Nonetheless, one can tailor a regimen with guidelines provided in this book.

Must Read. Clear, Concise, Well-researched, Convincing

This book should be given to every medical student and Oncologist in this country.Lately, the media is full of reports cautioning cancer patients about anti-oxidants. After reading Antioxidants Against Disease, you will have the knowledge necessary to evaluate these unsubstantiated media reports for yourself. Ralph presents all sides, not just one side.Few people in the world know as much as Ralph Moss about treating cancer. Ralph left the NY Sloan- Kettering cancer center when they asked him to misrepresent research results. Moss was a spokesman and was supposed to say that no benefit from Laetrile had been found, yet Ralph knew otherwise. He had spoken with the research scientist and knew that standard tests in mice had indicated significant benefit from Laetrile. Ralph resigned and began his quest to bring us the truth about the myriad of cancer treatments. ( ).

Cancer patient finds confirmation of alternatives.

I happened onto this book and found it to be a gold mine of information. It was complete confirmation of the antioxidants and correct dosages that my doctor had prescribed. Dr. Moss is easy to read, explains in complete detail what, how much and where to get these antioxidants naturally. An easy guide for anyone wanting to use antioxidants to protect their body and keep it healthy. This is my first book by Ralph W. Moss, PhD., but certainly not my last! Dr. Moss has given me hope and confidence to continue to fight cancer using antioxidants and other alternatives in conjunction with conventional treatment and separately. Following Dr. Moss's excellent recommendations will hopefully keep many people cancer free forever!
