Do bacteria cause cancer? The idea, rejected by mainstream cancer researchers, has nevertheless been held and argued for by many prominent scientists, doctors, and researchers. This book is a very readable and well-referenced historical presentation of this alternate view, as well as a partly autobibliographical sketch of the author and his personal search for the ultimate causes of scleroderma and cancer.

The weakness of the book, in my opinion, is its lack of what to DO about controlling or curing the pleomorphic cancer microbe. Cantwell does mention the importance of maintaining health to prevent the microbe from becoming pathogenic, but he does not offer any tips as to what to do if one already has cancer.

I'd still recommend it, though.
