This book is dedicated to all of the people around the world who have or will face the challenges of cancer and believe that there are solutions and hope for the future.
Imagine a commercial plane crashed and people were killed. You can be sure that would make the headline of every major newspaper. Well, we have the equivalent of eight to ten planes crashing EVERY DAY with everyone onboard, dying from cancer.
Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every yearone person out of three will be hit with a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives, in spite of the massive technological advances over the past half-century. Western medicine is no closer to finding a cancer cure, while cancer has grown into a worldwide epidemic of staggering proportions.
According to the CDC, about 1,660,290 (1.66 million) new cancer cases were diagnosed in 2014. Unfortunately, the cancer industry does not focus on effective prevention strategies, such as dietary guidelines, exercise, and obesity education. Instead, it pours its money into treating cancer , rather than preventing or curing it.
In spite of the enormous amounts of money funneled into cancer research today, two out of three cancer patients will be dead within five years after receiving all or part of the standard cancer treatment trinitysurgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This is not too surprising when you consider that two of the three traditional treatments are carcinogenic themselves! One study estimated that chemotherapy benefits about one of every twenty people receiving it.
Over the last hundred years, a number of natural cancer treatments have been developed and used successfully to treat patients in the United States and other countries. Most of these have been vehemently discounted, pushed under the rug by the medical monopoly, with physicians and researchers attacked, smeared, sent to prison, and professionally ruined for daring to defy the medical establishmentall to protect the financial interests of the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Drug companies have no interest in natural agents that they cannot patent, because they interfere with their revenue stream. They will goand have goneto extreme measures to prevent the truth about effective natural treatments from reaching the public.
Fortunately, you can learn about many cutting-edge cancer therapies by reading this book. Dr. Connealy carefully and clearly details the wide array of comprehensive strategies that you can consider for treating cancer. There really are an astounding number of choices and she does a magnificent job of compiling them conveniently in one place. It would take you many weeks, and more likely months or years, to collect the options that she concisely reviews here.
Not only does she outline the natural options for treating cancer, but she provides resources that you can use to identify a natural clinician that resonates with your philosophy and budget.
The Cancer Revolution will help you navigate the not widely publicized and frequently difficult to learn about alternatives that leading clinicians from around the world have been using to help put cancer into remission. It could save your life.

A NEW WAY TO PREVENT,
TREAT, AND BEAT CANCER
IN THIS CHAPTER, YOU WILL LEARN
- Why cancer is a disease of the entire body, not a body part, and what tools you can use to help overcome it
- How tumors are formed
- Why the conventional approach isnt enough
- Three main causes of cancer
One out of three women and one out of two men in the United States are developing cancer today. Most of us have lost a family member, a friend, or a colleague to cancer, or we know someone who has. Cancer is rampant: The National Institutes of Health has spent over a trillion dollars trying to find a cure, and yet the death rate from cancer is the same as what it was fifty years ago. For instance, one meta-analysis study by three Australian oncologists, the results of which were published in 2004 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology , revealed that the five-year survival rate for cancer of all types and stages is only about 60 percent, and that chemotherapy increases that five-year survival rate by only about 2 percent. Further, conventional cancer treatments, while sometimes useful and necessary, may have the potential to harm some patients just as much as, if not more than, the cancer itself.
