The Cancer Code By Dr. Jason Fung

This is an excelent and humbling overview of the history of cancer and cancer treatment. The part about diet is very honest, as could be expected from Dr. Fung. There is also a very up to date chapter on cancer screening (mostly useless in most types of cancer with serious side effects to patients). No propaganda selling miracle cures disguised as fake science like most books on health subjects. Some parts are a little technical, and because of that and because of Dr. Fung’s honesty, I believe some people may find it uninteresting and difficult to read. But it is heartwarming to see that the truth always slowly emerges from the shadows, even if it takes decades and millions of lives.

Interesting and quite informative book-just as the other two books, with similar titles, by the same author. Jason is indeed an artist at explaining complex problems and their possible solutions. He definitely has that gift. Looking forward to his next book, for sure.

My mother, her mom, and my father, all died of cancer. My niece, in her early 50s, was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and a good portion of it has been removed–Sadly, she is going back to her old self–eating a lot of red meat in her normal diet. Somehow, not even interested in learning more about this horrible disease, why?

Thus, I am always thinking, that it is coming, it is just a matter of time. Interesting thinking that keeps popping into my head. That is why I decided to read this book–besides the fact that I was quite curious as well.

I knew the scientific community was full of you know what–when asked how we are doing about the “war against cancer”. It seems to me more people are dying of cancer than ever. Now, I know a little bit more, and thanks to Dr. Fung, I think I now know why.

It is a fact that we are getting obese as time goes on. I was doing the same–until it affected my health. It is also interesting how it is that our economy is intrinsically connected to this trend. Obviously, restaurant owners do not care about our community’s health status, otherwise, they will be promoting more healthy meals and snacks…not the junk we are eating every day. Sadly, junk food is way cheaper than any other healthy choice, or are they? Maybe there is an opportunity here.

I will work on getting these three books to be a must-read at my school–they are indeed a must for all of us to read, discuss, and learn from. However, do not let me sway you into reading this book–get it and make your own conclusions. I am certain you will be glad you did.

In the same well-researched form, this newest book by Dr Fung answers many of the questions that should be asked about cancer today, and the medical response to it. He has given us an informative look at how cancer behaves in the body and the challenges it presents to the medical research community. You will come away energized to empower your body to guard against disease in every wise way possible, and will see how the two-fold process of “seed and soil” works to encourage, or discourage, the development of disease, no matter what the genetics of the patient. This book is a great addition to his previous books regarding obesity and diabetes, which offer hope to those previously believing they were stuck in a hopeless loop of disease. Thank you Dr Fung for your research and your curiosity to find a solution to healing a disease process that is stealing many wonderful people from this world way too soon.

A book that should be ready not just by all general practitioners, but also by all cancer patients, obese persons, people with diabetes, with pre-diabetes, and all people who are interested in avoiding cancer. Cancer is not completely out of our control and is not the result of mere bad luck.

Best book about health ever. You will get better understanding of what cancer is,in what forms it exists and starts,origins and types of it. How to avoid it better and what steps to take to minimize exposure to it. How to not get cancer in the first place and minimize cancer cells growth. Jason Fung is amazing,love all his books.

Dr Jason Fung has presented in his book “Cancer Code” a very comprehensive and well organized explanation of cancer and treatment, historically and presently, in a well understood format. All though I was disappointed in the lack of hope given in the chapter addressing diet, that I might find direction in “Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine”, the book led us to a better understanding in the life as a cancer patient and what we will be facing in our personal experience from here forward. This knowledge has given us more confidence in our decisions for OUR choices in treatment and living with cancer. Thank you Dr Fung!
