By Mike Anderson
This newly released book accompanies the DVD of the same name. The emphasis of the DVD is on establishing that conventional methods to "cure" cancer will never rival the natural approaches that can heal it. The book, meanwhile, is a practical guide to a comprehensive anti-cancer lifestyle. As stated in the introduction, "This book focuses on providing the details for supporting cancer patients and essentially picks up where the film leaves off." However, the first section of the book, dedicated to exposing, "how ineffective - and harmful - conventional cancer treatments are to the cancer patient" is not to be missed.
Naturally, the bulk of the information in the book is about diet and nutrition. Author Mike Anderson created a health-promoting diet he calls the "RAVE" diet - RAVE stands for "No Refined foods, no Animal foods, no Vegetable oils, no Exceptions." The book contains over 100 pages of recipes - all are plant-based and many of them are raw. The author emphasizes the importance of green juicing and consuming an alkalizing diet, and also covers the anti-cancer nutrients vitamin C, vitamin D and laetrile. The advice isn't just limited to diet, though, and also highlights the importance of exercise, lowering your toxic burden, and right mental attitude.
