The long-awaited follow-up to Anticancer: A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schreiber's colleague and research collaborator Lorenzo CohenDr. 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 put a comprehensive approach into practice. Anticancer Living is that book.Most patients (and many doctors) do not realize that lifestyle changes can reduce cancer risk, enhance treatment, and increase chances of surviving and even thriving after a diagnosis. Following the trail of scientific evidence and drawing on a major clinical trial developed with Servan-Schreiber at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Dr. Lorenzo Cohen has identified six key areas within our control: social and emotional support, stress management, sleep, diet, exercise, and avoiding environmental toxins. Each plays an independent role, but it's the synergies created by this "Mix of Six" that can radically transform health and well-being, supporting conventional treatments for cancer patients and significantly improving quality of life for us all.
