Integrative medicine strives to incorporate the best of
complementary and conventional modalities. This book details
integrative oncology, a nascent field building a rigorous
evidenced-based clinical medicine, research, and educational
foundation. It examines five prestigious, comprehensive cancer
centers based in the US, covering how these centers started their
programs, what they are currently doing, and recommendations for
starting integrative medicine clinics. The book also discusses the
potential harm of alternative and complementary medicine, legal
issues, and how to communicate with patients.

The revolutionary, science-based plan to reclaim your health "You
have cancer." These are perhaps the most feared three words that
will ever come out of a doctor's mouth, and more and more people
are hearing them. Yet most patients (and some doctors) do not
realize that lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce risk, assist
treatment and improve chances of surviving and even thriving after
a diagnosis. Over the course of a major study Servan-Schreiber
designed with Dr Lorenzo Cohen at the MD Anderson Cancer Center,
six key areas have emerged: love and social support, stress
management, rest, movement, nutrition and avoiding environmental
toxins. Each plays a role--but it's the synergies created by this
potent "Mix of Six" that can bring about real shifts in health and
well-being, significantly improving quality of life and positively
supporting conventional cancer treatments. Dr. David
Servan-Schreiber's Anticancer introduced a revolutionary way to
understand and confront cancer, changing the lives of millions
around the world. He laid out the principles of integrative care
that had allowed him to live many years beyond expectations for his
own cancer, but readers have long requested a specific plan to
implement his approach. Anticancer Living is that book.
