It's inclined towards the cliche types of titles, but it is a positive one that helps you take an insight into what the book might be about.

Yes, I believe the main goal was positivity for the ones who are losing hope about this situation. Although the book was about just an alternative and not yet garnered a wide-scale approval and results, I guess it is better than nothing. Thanks for the insight!

I loved to see how the author believes we can win the war against the disease.
The titlle is great combination with whats inside the book.

The author is clear at the beginning about the “war” that has happened for those with sound supplements from natural substances and the lack of FDA excitement. The war is not only the one facing the diagnosis but the people who desire to cure the problem with sincerity versus greed. The war, whether we like it or not, is once again political. And the ones suffering are in the middle of the fight just trying to survive.

I do agree that traditional and alternative treatments should go hand in hand as they are both important in curing cancer. I do see your point about the war being political. It is a sad truth, but it is what it is. Thanks for sharing!

The title is a great attention grabber, but winning could be a harsh word for those who had lost the battle to cancer.

I completely agree with your thought about the title. This title really looks not so good to those who has lost their near and dear ones, and yes you rightly said it gives false hope to one who are battling. I suggest you one title, " a day in a cancer ward", if it suits you.

Thank you for understanding and respecting my views!

I do like your title! It emits a mysterious aura and it is intriguing!

I guess when I first read the title " Winning the War on Cancer" I thought more of the research struggles related to fighting cancer. After reading some other reviews of the title I can see how it could be related to the personal struggles with someone who may have cancer or may have had a loved one with cancer. But I had to read other reviews to get that impression.
From my first read of the title I would not be interested in reading it. I have not actually read the book or any part of it so I do not know what the book itself is about but from the title I am not interested. Sorry.

The title seemed very cheesy to me, because I hear this phrase constantly from other people when they are talking about cancer. Yet when I began reading this book, I was immediately hooked. It was refreshing to read about natural cures for cancer through the voice of a lawyer, because I had never thought about how this would be approached from a legal perspective. I don't think the title fits the book, because this book was focused more on the legal and political battles that had to be won to allow natural extracts to be sold to the general public. Yet I do love the story, so the title did not keep me from having a good read.

I think that it's a good eye catcher. It's going to grab the attention of people who have been affected by cancer or who are interested in learning more about treatments. I have not personally lost anyone to the disease so am not as emotionally affected by the title. But I think it is more in line to give hope than infer that the fight is over.

This title says to me something unreal, is like we want to beat on Cancer but we still haven't, so is kind of a weird way of selling the idea that we can actually care about healing people even if we can't. And at the same time we are seeking ways of helping people and making sure we understand the problem with this desease!

The title says to me that the book will be discussing what we are doing to obtain a cure for cancer and the obstacles that we face. I think it is a good title.

I agree that it's not a bit suitable once you read the book. And yes it is indeed interesting to know there are other cures aside from chemotherapy. Thanks for this wonderful and honest insight!

Personally, I think the title is misleading. First of all, it suggests a purely scientific stance which is not the case since Beljanski's own personal tale is woven throughout. Secondly, she has not found a natural cure. While there is evidence to suggest the extract could combat cancer and other diseases, there has been a failure to hold consistent clinical trials and replication studies validating the claims she made. The title, for me, does not fit the book I read.
