Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
In this consumer's guide, the author of The Cancer Industry ( LJ 2/15/80; LJ 10/15/89, rev. ed.) discusses alternative cancer therapies that include vitamins, minerals, herbs, diets, immune boosters, and other substances. He also covers conventional chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation but emphasizes their adverse effects. Though he provides references to scientific articles, most of them are animal or tissue culture studies; there is no information about the effectiveness of these treatments for humans. A strongly worded disclaimer encourages readers to seek medical advice before using these treatments, and a handshake symbol in the text indicates a substance that is compatible with conventional therapies. Moss also includes a resource list of organizations concerned with cancer treatment. Malin Dollinger, M.D. & others' Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy ( LJ 5/15/91) offers a detailed, objective overview of current cancer care that is a more appropriate choice for most collections, but Cancer Therapy is a useful addition to collections where there is interest in alternative health treatments.-- Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., Cal.

    Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic Treatment and Prevention

    Moss gives a good overview of many alternative treatments although the book is no longer current. My main criticism is that he is obviously biased in favor of alternative medicine. A search of the internet for information on the Gerson Diet, for instance, reveals a much more negative view of this treatment's effectiveness.

    Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic Treatment and Prevention

    Ralph Moss presents us with a fairly serious discussion of various non-toxic cancer treatments. Each chapter is followed by a list of references. The book is dedicated to Linus Pauling who is known partly for his advocacy of Vitamin C. The treatments described vary from certain vitamin, herb and diet therapies to enzyme therapy and electric therapy. In my opinion the most interesting chapter in the book is the one which explains the Gerson Diet. One of the more promising new treatments for prostate cancer, PC Spes, is not mentioned although a full chapter is devoted to Chinese herbs. This book will be of value to those who wish to know more about alternative cancer treatments. It is not, however, a comprehensive guide to the field.
