Cancer rates continue to skyrocket, and the overall survival rate for Stage IV cancer patients in the United States is a grim 2.1 percent. Clearly, the extensive use of expensive, sometimes ineffective toxins in conventional oncology protocols is a failing strategy. Even the few survivors of these harsh slash-and-burn treatments can have dismal quality of life, suffering with ailments such as nerve damage, heart muscle disease, and liver and kidney failure. And unfortunately, many conventional doctors discourage patients from exploring alternative treatment options.

A featured doctor in Suzanne Somers' bestselling cancer book Knockout, forty-year oncology veteran James W. Forsythe, M.D., H.M.D, offers a more cost-effective, personalized, and compassionate alternative to traditional cancer treatment in Take Control of Your Cancer: Integrating the Best of Alternative and Conventional Treatments. Dr. Forsythe's integrative approach has yielded an astonishing 46 percent positive response rate in a 500-patient study.

In Take Control of Your Cancer, you will find information on all stages of cancer, including:
• Warning signs of cancer
• How to pinpoint the causes of cancer and to avoid recurrence
• Preventative measures such as healthy diet and regular exercise
• Overview of how to choose what drugs and supplements to use
• How to take charge of your cancer treatment and maintain a positive attitude
• Successful case studies of 40 of Dr. Forsythe's Stage IV cancer patients

While Dr. Forsythe offers his patients conventional and alternative therapies on their own as well as an integrative option, Take Control of Your Cancer encourages cancer patients and their families to explore their treatment options and look for doctors who personalize treatment for optimal outcomes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have!

This book is a must have if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer. It is very informative and lets you have more options than you are told of. Although it may seem taboo to question a doctor or use alternative treatments, it is your body and you are the person going through it and you need to make your own decisions and trust your gut instincts. I learned about pawpaw from this book and they sell the one supplement on Amazon and if you read the reviews it will put your mind at ease. Please do not take my word for it or the word of any reviews, please do your own research and NOT ON FACEBOOK! Use trusted sources and scientific journals like NCBI, it is what all the doctors use. Remember you have the ability to take charge of your health and anything the body creates the body can also heal. If you are reading this know that I am with you in heart and spirit and I pray for all who are going through this. Have a positive mindset and you will get through this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Critical Hope for those afflicted with cancer ......
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
Critical if you have any stage Cancer. Could be difference between surviving with quality of life .... or much less.

Do you want the Low Budget cookie cutter treatment the rest of the herd gets ...... or do you want a CUSTOM gentle healing that supports the whole person physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Dr. Forsythe is a renown MD Oncologist. He worked within the conventional system and did not like what he saw. So ... he left solely conventiional protocols and began to 'think outside of the box' .. going on to secure a Homeopathy Degree ... and explore new ways to defeat cancer.

He has one of the best survival rates for people with advanced cancers. One key to these results is the chemical assay test he administers to patients. This test runs hundreds of genes, compounds and agents matched against the specific patient's blood and tumor material. The test determines what chemo agents, supplements, or other compounds will work best to eradicate the cancer. No conventional protocol does this. They are just shooting in the dark.

You can choose conventional only treatment at his clinic in Reno Nevada ..... complementary treatment that uses the best of conventional and alternative ..... or alternative treatment only.

One treatment he uses is Low-Dose Chemo that uses 1/10 the amount of full chemo. He's able to do this because the chemo assay test tells him what chemo drugs to use. Then he can do IPT ... insulin potentiated therapy ... where because cancer loves sugar ... he adds a sugar compound to the chemo agents ... the cancer cells open wide to gorge themselves only to get the trojan horse chemo cancer killer. It is quite effective with none of the toxic side effects of conventional chemo. This is just one of his treatments in a packed arsenal.

If you ... or a loved one .... has cancer, then this book by an experienced Oncologist may have the answers you need.

There are 50 case summaries near the end of the Book that spell out the incredible success of his new way of thinking to defeat this scourge.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book Of Hope
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014

Perhaps the worst word you can have your doctor say is "cancer". And it gets worst when it's stage 4. This book give new hope to those who hear those words and think it's a death sentence. Doctor Forsythe has been helping cancer patients for a number of years with alternative treatments and getting much better results than main stream cancer doctors. It makes one wonder why we're still spending cancer research money on a medical system that continues to get such poor results while ignoring doctors who are getting much better results. I believe that the more you know about an illness the better chance you can overcome it and this book certainly helps further educate.

If you are looking for validation of alternative cancer treatments, this is for you. Traditional chemo most often does not work, and Insulin Potentiated low dose chemo is the way to go. (Done it) A good overview, pointing out the values of both traditional and alternative therapy methods.

The message of self advocacy at the heart of this book is powerful. Big pharma has hi-jacked our healthcare system to the point that people have lost sight of how they can take charge of their own health.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Information but Very Limited
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
Good information on conventional cancer treatment. Dr. Forsythe using lose-dose chemo and nutritional supplements claims to have a significantly higher success rate. There is some important information in the book if you are diagnosed, but this book doesn't help you take control of your cancer without becoming his patient. The supplements listed at the back of the book contain many "proprietary" ones that you can only get by becoming a Dr. Forsythe's patient. Most of the supplements he recommends include high amounts of antioxidants which makes since whether you read this book or not. The most surprising is taking 35,000 IU of vitamin D daily for most cancers. I would not do this without being under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner who frequently tests your levels. Since his methods are not covered by insurance and very expensive, this excludes all but the rich. The most important information in the book related to diet is that cancer needs refined sugar to survive so it should be excluded completely. Also, eating organic foods as much as possible is important and avoiding environmental toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, and excessive radiation from medical tests and electronics (cell phones, etc.). Although I believe most of what his says in the book regarding how conventional oncology is not tailored to individuals and is profit driven (I've done my own research), he provides no references. I still think the book is worth reading if you know little about conventional oncology but your reading should include books that will help you make decisions regarding your choice of treatments. This book is not in depth enough regarding diet, supplements, and environmental toxins.
