The Good Doctors share this riveting read "Anticancer: A new way of life" by Dr David Servan-Schrieber.  We highly recommend this book to anybody who has received a cancer diagnosis and anyone who doesn’t want to receive a diagnosis. Yes, it's for everyone! There's so much you can do if you have a cancer diagnosis and being in the best possible health is vital for longevity and recovery from treatment.  Dr Servan-Schreiber takes us through his own survival story from a terminal prognosis and explains how to develop a science-based anticancer diet, the impact of sugar and good nutrition on cancer. He teaches about environmental toxins, and looks at the impact of stress, helplessness and unresolved emotional wounds on our health and the benefits of  the breath, exercise, yoga, and meditation. Why? Because it's all connected ~ a truly inspirational book about holism and healing.
