The Politics of Cancer Revisited
Published in Hardcover by East Ridge Pr (1998)
Authors: Samuel S. Epstein, John, Jr. Conyers, and David R. Obey
Amazon base price: $34.95
Average review score:

A masterful documentation of life-saving truths about cancer
Could it possibly be true that: (1) Cancer is preventable? (2) Government agencies and the cancer establishment, with their false optimism, their emphasis on "damage control," and their opposition to non-toxic alternative treatments, are doing far more harm than good in the "war on cancer"? (3) Each individual, armed with the right knowledge, can significantly reduce the chances of ever getting cancer?

Dr. Epstein fully documents these truths with great force and clarity. Having read the book, it would be difficult not to believe these truths, to fully take them in, and to act accordingly.

We can stop losing the "War Against Cancer"
I can't remember when a book has cheered me the way this one has. As a longtime worker in the field of alternative cancer treatment, and one who has undergone his own battle with this disease, I rejoice that a voice of authority has finally stated the truth in loud, ringing tones -- the emperor has no clothes! The reiterated claim by our government and its associated medical professionals that we are "winning the war against cancer" is simply not true. And these stalwarts in the Cancer Establishment are not the selfless servants of humanity they have been portraying themselves as, either. Their ranks are shot through with cronyism, conflicts of interest, and subservience to the giant drug companies.

Masterfully, exhaustively, irrefutably, Dr. Epstein exposes this dirty little game that has been snowing the American public for the last 25 years. And he makes a powerful case that, in the field of cancer as in no other, an ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure. Cancer, once contracted, is generally a very tough disease to treat successfully. But, in very many cases, it can be prevented by avoiding known cancer-causing agents in the environment, in the workplace, and in consumer products.

Not only is "THE POLITICS OF CANCER Revisited" inspiring in its revelations and recommendations. It is a magnificent reference tool, one I have put on my shelf for ready access whenever I want to know if a particular cosmetic, food additive, drug, work setting -- or part of the country -- is carcinogenic and therefore to be avoided.

A brilliant and timely exposé of cancer politics
This book will likely change the way you see the world. Not only is the tripling of cancer rates in this century directly related to environmental and industrial conditions, but the same players also control the huge and hugely profitable cancer industry which has grown up arount it. Meanwhile promising nontoxic alternative treatments have been excluded from the playing field controlled by this oligopoly of self-interested players, many of whom are supposed to be the guardians of the public health. Epstein documents all this impeccably, but also lets citizens know what we can do to change the system. Highest recommendation. A must-read.

A MUST READ TO PREVENT BREAST CANCER
If you really care about your health and TRULY PREVENTING BREAST CANCER, this book is a must read!

Dr. Epstein is a beacon of truth in explaining how we are exposed to so many toxins and pollutants that our immune systems break down and can't naturally fight cancer cells.

Our current medical approach is WAIT UNTIL THE CANCER SHOWS UP IN A MAMMOGRAM then assult the cancer and your own immune system with poisons and surgery. Dr. Epstein says: Cut your exposure to toxins and strengthen your own immune system so that you reduce your risk of ever getting cancer.

Which approach will you chose?

Wonderful thoughtful information
This book contains valuable information that the cancer establishment will not tell you about. Dr. Epstein presents us with information that will drastically change the way we see breast cancer prevention.It is a must read for anyone with a history of breast cancer in thier family!

Great guide
This is an excellent guide to products that we use daily. You can find the safest alternatives and information about what ingredients are harmful. The only drawback is that it does not include ratings on the newest products on the market but you can use the other info about harmful ingredients as a guideline. If you are concerned about product safety this book is a must.

Valuable information on keeping your family safe.
In a world where there are soo many products it is hard to tell which ones are safe. This book, however, manages to take out some of the chore involved in researching product safety. I recommend this book for everyone who makes the purches in the family.

This is a great book for keeping your family healthy
I think this book is excellent. It tells about many different house-hold products. Some of the products it tells about is- Bathroom cleaners, Paints, Animal (pet) products. Cosmetics, Shampoos, Hair care products, Tooth care, Fruits and Vegtables plus many more. It also tells about carcinogenic products. I find this book very helpful when I want to find out about products I want to buy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to find about the products that are healthy for you and non-healthy for you.

An outstanding book for boys and girls!
Enthralled by the new science of natural history, a famous American painter establishes a museum in his home and organizes a scientific expedition to find and dig up a complete mammoth skeleton. "MR. PEAL, EVER DESIROUS TO PLEASE AND ENTERTAIN THE PUBLIC, WILL MAKE A PART OF HIS HOUSE A REPOSITORY FOR NATURAL CURIOSITIES." With this intriguing announcement, artist Charles Peale meant to lure Philadelphians to his new museum. There were snakes in rocky grottoes, water birds in watery scenes, and for those visitors with a special curiosity, a live cow with two heads, five legs, and six feet. The museum attracted visitors from miles around. But sometimes Mr. Peale thought wistfully of the one exhibit that would make his museum world-famous; if only he could obtain the skeleton of an American mammoth. How Mr. Peale's Museum grew and how he launched America's first scientific expedition makes a fascinating tale. This book has illustrations by Martim Avillez, who became enthralled by the new science of natural history, and whose illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, as well as in Harper's Magazine and New York Magazine.
