I'm only half way through, but so far I think it is a 4 star read. It is well written and the beginning is very compelling.

There is a lot of research and footnotes which I have tried to keep up with, but as I said, I have a way to go, so I will reserve my opinion on the scientific part.

This is a perfect score read. What makes it stand out is its evidence-based approach, and the well-researched information.

The story's origin is her father's experience and research. I like that the author's voice is calm and it sounds like she makes her arguments in a clear way. What makes me somewhat hesitant to look at it as solid research is the emphasis on conspiracy theories stressed in the blurb.

Do you feel that the author has applied a scientific method to back up her claims?

I love the way the author put her personal story in the book which gives it a unique detail

The sample was informative. I like that the author stated early on that she had no background in that field, but while reading you could clearly see that she loved her father. I would pass this book along to someone who is currently or knows someone who is fighting cancer.

I would rate at four stars from the what I have read so far. It is a remarkable story that is really opening my eyes about a few facts I didn't know about.

I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list and I'm definitely looking forward to it. This is an issue close to my own heart as I've found myself in the same position as the author - that of bring ill and having to search outside of traditional medicine and without the help of a doctor for appropriate answers and solutions. What I read in the free sample on Amazon promised to be a 3 or 4 rating for me.

I would give it a four out of four. I think it's well researched. It was a bit here and there as far as research and the story of her father, but it didn't distract too much from the message. It was professional, and I'm glad I read it.

I am in the field of research and I like reading scientific research papers as a past time (i know, weird right). And all i can say for this book is that it is well-researched and can truly help people. The footnotes in particular are something I like.

This is a very informative book. I would like to rate the book 3stars for the kind of knowledge it is sharing to the readers.

Very informative. I like the way the author tackles about how cancer has greatly affect human life. I agree that cancer is a war, very hard to conquer.

I am not interested in such type of stories. However, I have to admit that this novel grabbed my attention, and I think that it is worth reading.

It is a helpful, sympathetic read. My heart gives it a four out of four stars.
