Four out of every ten people will be diagnosed with cancer sometime during their lifetime. 600,000 cancer patients in the U.S. will die every year.

For decades, standard therapies have remained powerless against advanced cancer. But in the 1890s, an American surgeon showed that terminal patients could be cured by stimulating their immune systems. The treatment? A concoction of dead bacteria known as Coley’s Toxins.

This is the real-life story of Rene Chee, a biologist diagnosed with an aggressive cancer in 2008 while working at Stanford University. After conventional treatment, she realizes her survival odds are dim. Turning to alternative medicine, she and her husband discover Coley’s Toxins. Embarking on an arduous journey, they overcome obstacles and danger to obtain Coley’s Toxins and other immunotherapies. They have an ally: a world-renowned immunologist who teaches them how to unleash Rene’s immune system against the cancer.

Through the lens of their story, the reader will be empowered with a broad understanding of immunotherapy today. Readers will also learn how to leverage the immune system in powerful and practical ways against cancer using drugs, diet and determination. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book for reading groups or book clubs.

Topics covered include:
- How cutting-edge immunotherapies work
- How tumors can hide from the immune system
- How to maximize immunotherapy by combining treatments
- How low-carb diets and high omega-3 diets can weaken tumors
- How to obtain immunotherapy

An immune-based cure is possible today. If you are ready to examine the evidence and see how it can be achieved, this book is for you.

Can't recommend this book enough!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is incredible. Battling stage 4 cancer, it gives us hope. It uplifts us to read it, and will remind you of the amazing fight your body has in it, even if it doesn't always feel like it. It opened our eyes to a whole new type of cancer treatment and has given us the drive to try and achieve this. Brilliantly written, with just enough science to help us understand but not be too overwhelming, and also includes all the resources for further information should you wish to get it.

Aktive Fiebertherapie

Reviewed in Germany on 21 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Dieses Buch ist absolut empfehlenswert. Es ist auf Englisch, liest sich aber gut. Ich bin Heilpraktikerin und wende diese Therapie mit Erfolg an. Leider ist sie den wenigsten bekannt. Heute versteht man unter Fiebertherapie die Hyperthermie. Die Hyperthermie ist aber nur eine passive Überwärmung. Die aktive Fiebertherapie geht viel tiefer und stimmuliert das komplette Immunsystem. Eine große Hilfe bei allen chronisch entzündlichen Erkrankungen wie Arthritis, Rheuma, Krebs, etc.

肉腫との闘い

Reviewed in Japan on 5 July 2019

Verified Purchase

希少ガンである肉腫を多様な治療によって克服したスタンフォード大に研究者として働いている方の記録。オプジーボ、キートルーダが簡単には手に入らない時の免疫治療についての苦労が書かれており、大変貴重な本であると思います。一番参考になった事は、複数の治療オプションがある場合、どのような観点で優先順位を付ければいいのかご本人の経験から教えてくれていることです。残念ながら日本には希少ガンを患者本人がどのように方針立てて治療を進めていったのかという患者が書いた書籍は殆どありません。医者の言うとおりというブログは多いのですが。

他のガンは万単位の患者数で、肉腫は日本では年数百名の患者しかいないため、忘れられたガンと言われているわけです。所がアメリカでは患者数が4千名になるといわれ、世界的に見れば決して少なくはないのです。グローバル治験がなぜ必要になるか、その時に製薬企業とＣＲＯに英語が出来る担当者がそれなりの数いなければお話しにならない、またこのような書籍から情報を早く見つけ情報が取れるということを考えると、英語教育の重要性が分かると思います

This is a must read book for cancer patients

Reviewed in the United States on 26 July 2016

Verified Purchase

It did not take very long for me to finish reading this book. It is intense but very readable. As a cancer patient, I resonate to every little mental experience that Rene went thru and most likely only at a less traumatic level as my sarcoma was much easier to deal with than hers. True to their scientific training, both them obviously kept detail notes and data of their journey. All interested readers would be thankful that they shared in so personal way that one can feel as one reads. As an engineer, I appreciate greatly the lessons learned approach periodically through out the book. I book marked every one of them. The last one third of the book of summarizing their understanding of the cancer and immunotherapy (with all the relevant reference articles) approach is really a treasure for people who want to gain the knowledge and add to their war chest in dealing with their cancer. Throughout the book, it shows the scientific conviction and determination by their desire and willingness to re-examine the well known practices and explore new ways and try them faced with uncertainty but always based on, at a minimum, plausible theory and evidences. That takes abundant courage and I was scare for them but most of all admire both of them. Their love for each other sustained their fight for the cure through the failures and uncertainties. Even in facing seemingly certain death prognosis their humors showed through.

Nine years after my own resection of sarcoma I am free of signs of cancer. I still continue with most of the supplements recommended by Dr. Raymond Chang and my loving wife helps me to control my diet but I find myself becoming perhaps a little over relaxed. Reading this book kicked my butt to think over and improve my diet and exercises. I thank the authors sincerely. A cancer patient should never take for granted that he is free from cancer.
