Cancer touches more
lives than you may think. According to the World Health Organization,
one out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a
cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.
To Ty Bollinger, this isn’t
just a statistic. It’s personal. After losing seven members of his
family to cancer over the course of a decade, Ty set out on a global
quest to learn as much as he possibly could about cancer treatments and
the medical industry that surrounds the disease. He has written this
book to share what he’s uncovered—some of which may shock you—and to
give you new resources for coping with cancer in your life or the life
of someone you love.
As Ty explains, there are many methods we can
access to treat and prevent cancer that go well beyond chemotherapy,
radiation, and surgery; we just don’t know about them.
The Truth about Cancer
delves into the history of medicine—all the way back to Hippocrates’s
credo of “do no harm” —as well as cutting-edge research showing the
efficacy of dozens of unconventional cancer treatments that are helping
patients around the globe. You’ll read about the politics of cancer;
facts and myths about its causes (a family history is only part of the
picture); and the range of tools available to diagnose and treat it.
If
you’re facing a cancer diagnosis right now, this book may help you and
your health-care provider make choices about your next steps. If you’re
already undergoing conventional treatment, it may help you support your
health during the course of chemo or radiation. If you’re a health-care
provider and want to learn all you can to help your patients, it will
expand your horizons and inspire you with true stories of successful
healing. And if you just want to see cancer in a new light, it will open
your eyes.
