A phenomenal book on adjuvants in cancer therapy that is both conservative and very thorough by lector avidus (USA)  5 Stars
May 20, 2006
For a few decades a few scientists, some of them Nobel laureates, have believed that antioxidants may prevent and even help to treat cancer. Some of the ideas and clinical results have been very promising, but have not received the attention they deserve. Even worse, unsubstantiated and even false claims have been bandied about by some of those who claim to know everything about the antioxidants, which makes anyone who touches the subject appear to be disreputable.
Enter Ralph Moss, PhD, formerly of Sloan-Kettering, who has done a first-rate job of going through myriad journals and papers and establishing which ideas about the use of antioxidants are scientifically proven. This book has no less than 460 references to papers on the subject, in other words, every contention of Dr. Moss's is well documented. This certainly isn't a rah-rah book; Moss carefully explains that certain antioxidants are known to worsen certain cancers; this is a field in which carelessness is particularly disasterous.
One of the most intriguing points he raises is that some cancers have been known to remit in response to large doses of CoEnzyme Q 10, a molecule that younger people are able to produce on their own, but which older people must ingest from their diet.
This book is so well researched and written that it ought to be read by anyone with cancer, as one would expect of a book written by the protégé of one of the Nobel laureates who first started thinking about the use of antioxidants to prevent and treat cancer. Albert von Szent-Györgi, one of the brighter Nobel laureates of the last century, mulled all this high up on his intellectual Mount Olympus; Dr. Moss has taken this down to us lesser mortals by putting his thoughts into understandable English and documenting what experimental proof there is for the use of antioxidants in treating cancer.

Useful information for co-doctoring by Bill Henderson (San Antonio, TX USA)  4 Stars
August 23, 2004
All cancer patients must co-doctor if they are going to survive. Most cancer doctors will warn against the harmful effects of taking antioxidants with chemotherapy or radiation treatments. This book completely debunks that medical school dogma.
As a cancer patient, you need to arm yourself with factual knowledge. This is one of the books you need to study and share with your doctor. It covers specific combinations of chemotherapy drugs and antioxidant supplements. If you can't agree on what you should take, find another doctor.
It would have been helpful if Dr. Moss had mentioned some of the animal foods which contain high doses of Vitamin A and other antioxidants, but his emphasis is on supplements and "fruits and vegetables." I still recommend you study this book closely BEFORE you agree to a treatment regimen for your cancer.

Must read for anybody with cancer by CanSurvive (San Jose) 5 Stars
July 02, 2004
This book provides concise information regarding nutritional supplements that are effective in fighting cancer. I am battling Colon Cancer. Traditional medicine has its place, but the statistics were not very comforting. I thus have spent a great deal of time researching CAM (complimentary alternative medicines). One is quickly overwhelmed by the volume of (often contradictory) information available via web and books. For this, Dr. Moss is a goldmine. This book allows one to setup an affordable supplement program based on current scientific research, not quackery. I am happy to report that I have done very well with the chemo, and am confident that I will beat this cancer.I recommend that you visit his website cancerdecisions.com, and consider buying his detailed report for your cancer. He covers all traditional complimentary treatments that are helpful, and has spent great deal of time investigating the offshore clinics. I purchased the Colon Cancer report. It is the best money I have spent since I was diagnosed.

A great companion for cancer patients 5 Stars
August 13, 2003
I bought this book (and some others) after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2003. Although, we had read a few negative things about using antioxidants with conventional therapies, this book gave us the courage (with solid scientific research of Dr. Moss) to apply antioxidant therapy WITH conventional therapies such as Chemo. I am writing this review to testify that the outcome in our case was nothing short of miracle. After chemo, the pathology report indicated a complete response. Now, my beloved wife is one more statistic showing synergy of conventional therapy with alternative therapy(if you can call antioxidants an alternative). Throughout the book, it shows that Dr. Moss is writing this book to help cancer patients. Use this book towards your goal of optimizing conventional, mainstream, treatments such as chemo and radiation. We have. I wish there was more specific information(in a table format) on how much of each antioxidants have shown to be effective in various cancer treatments. Nonetheless, one can tailor a regimen with guidelines provided in this book.

Pretty Good Work, but...... by Stephen Byrnes (Honolulu, HI United States)  3 Stars
March 11, 2001
This book is a concise summary of current research on how different antioxidants can help heal and prevent cancer. For each antioxidant, there is also info on how it interacts with "establishment" cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. It also debunks the widespread myth that taking antioxidants will weaken the effect of chemotherapy.The one thing lacking in the book is its omission of foods rich in the various nutrients discussed. For example, in the first chapter on vitamin A, Dr. Moss never once mentions any foods where vitamin A is found (like liver, butter, eggs, cod liver oil, etc) and implies that one should take supplements. He also keeps repeating that people should eat lots of brightly colored fruits and vegetables every day to get their lion's share of antioxidants, but he does not inform the reader that many of the antioxidants he discusses are not found in fruits and vegetables, but in animal foods and fats only (vitamin A, for example). Zinc, selenium, CoQ10, and lipoic acid are also concentrated in foods like oysters, organ meats, seafood, and red meat--not fruits and vegetables. Of course, fruits and vegetables are good foods, but for a complete antioxidant picture, one must include organic animal foods as well.There was also a lack of discussion of various antioxidant compounds that are found in herbs and spices like turmeric, curry, and rosemary and I was disappointed in this. Dr. Moss does mention black and green teas, however.
