Contreras Francisco - Beating cancer: twenty natural, spiritual, & medical remedies that can slow-and even reverse

This book by Daniel Kennedy and my friend Dr. Francisco Contreras can help all cancer patients learn about the power of the body to heal itself. Standard oncologists ignore this because they do not understand it. They too need to read this book. New studies show that 30 percent of breast cancers seen on mammograms can go away by themselves. We can all make this happen more often if we learn more about the lifesaving holistic care provided by the Oasis of Hope Health Group.

Since 1997 I have supported the work of Dr. Francisco Contreras, Daniel Kennedy, and Oasis of Hope because their approach to cancer is much more comprehensive than mainstream oncology. You will find, as I have, that this book contains many practical tips for beating cancer. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

As a pioneer in the alternative therapy movement, Ernesto Contreras Sr., MD, provided hope and help to thousands of patients during his long and active practice. In addition, he inspired and mentored many of the physicians who have embraced alternative and integrative therapies in response to the limitations imposed by the conventional, allopathic establishment.

His most devoted and dedicated pupils are his son, Francisco Contreras, MD, and his grandson, Daniel Kennedy, MC. Through their efforts, they transformed Oasis of Hope Hospital into a worldclass medical facility that serves as a model for integrating alternative therapies with the best conventional oncology has to offer.

Dr. Contreras and Daniel Kennedy have authored or coauthored a number of books, written to assist both patients and physicians. Beating Cancer is the latest contribution. This book is not a stand-alone selftreatment guide but a self-help resource for patients in their journey toward healing. Just as Dr. Contreras Sr. was a pioneer in bringing integrationbody, mind, and spiritto cancer therapy, his son and grandson extend his legacy to new generations of cancer patients.

Practical, thorough, and based on forty-eight years of treating tens of thousands of cancer patients from around the world, Beating Cancer has much to offer cancer patients, their families, and the physicians who treat them.
