Life Over Cancer: The Block Center Program for Integrative Cancer Treatment
As someone who has explored and written many books and articles about health-related issues for more than two decades, I’ve long been aware of the innovative treatment approaches developed and implemented by Dr. Keith Block and his staff at The Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment. Dr. Block is very highly regarded by many of the leaders in the field of holistic and integrative medicine and rightly so, because his approach to treating cancer truly is integrative and addresses the “whole person.” Having now read his wonderful new book, I can say without reservation that it belongs in the homes of all of us, for, directly or indirectly, cancer affects us all. Not only is Life Over Cancer comprehensive and authoritative, it is also very easy for physicians and lay people alike to understand, and it contains everything readers need to proactively prevent and deal with cancer. I give it my highest recommendation! – Larry Trivieri Jr

I found this book able to provide fulfilling answers to questions that are often answered leaving more questions in mind – by tying life style management with conventional medicine. A complete look at wellness backed by a physician dedicated to patient wellness – not just a temporary relief of symptoms, or solutions limited to conventional, off-the-shelf medical answers.
In an industry that is highly fragmented in its approach to patient care, and one that is lopsided based upon pharma and technology influence, this is a refreshing and satisfying formula for achieving victory over a horrible disease. Kudos, Dr. Keith Block!

This book is good but very self serving. It is obviously just an advertisement for the author’s institute, repeatedly extolling the successes (which sound real) of his cancer treatment methods and hinting at the potential for personalized treatment options. I’m sure Block does excellent, meaningful and worthwhile work, but unless you’re interested in working with his clinic, skip this book and read Anticancer: A New Way of Life. It provides essentially the same messages and information without all the anecdotal success stories and clinical statistics.

Dr. Keith Block and his extensive understanding and life’s work, saved my life. If you only have one source to use and prevail over illness, auto-immune disease, cancer, etc….This is THE book to have… as your constant support and guide. Do someone you love a favor…buy it for them too. Live strong, even while healing…this was and is, my total handbook, reference, and HOPE.

Dr. Block has done an outstanding job of explaining complex science in readable and practical terms that a cancer patient or caregiver can use. His holist approach goes beyond traditional medicine and tackles what to do to fight cancer. Nutrition, fitness, mind/spirit, exercise are all part of the program. While traditional medicine focuses on getting rid of symptoms (tumors, etc.), Dr. Block explains how to boost one’s biology so that the body can ward off the cancer. He is well know for his customized work in analyzing body deficiencies and then recommending supplements, nutrition, mind/body work that can address these deficiences. Dr. Block’s work isn’t based just on conjecture, he has done extensive research in every aspect of a comprehensive approach to cancer. Having had a wonderful experience at the Block Integrated Cancer Center in Evanston,Illinois, I am delighted to have this book to see the underpinnings of the excellent clinical work they do.
