Long before the term "alternative" was part of our medical culture, Dr. Josef Issels created the world's first fully "integrative" cancer therapy, curing advanced, recurrent cancer. Issels hypothesized that primary and recurrent malignancies result from a tendency of the body to produce tumors. He therefore made use of every weapon in his arsenal to reduce tumors and strengthen the immune response. In Cancer: A Second Opinion, Issels describes the treatment that produced the most remarkable, independently verified cure rate in medical history.

Synopsis

Josef Issels cured cancer, but not just any cancer. He cured advanced, recurrent cancer - cancer that had laughed at radiation and thrived on chemotherapy. And he used different, gentler treatments. The people whom Issels had snatched from the fist of certain death loved him. But he had opponents as well. Rather than rejoice at the lives he saved, these medical professionals attempted to discredit Issels through slander, sanction and lawsuit. They had him arrested, jailed and put on trial. But the courts acquitted Issels and the media trumpeted the story. Independent scientists verified his groundbreaking cures and medical journals published his work. A BBC documentary made him an overnight international hero. The German government awarded him a position on its Federal Cancer Commission. Long before the terms 'alternative' and 'complementary' were part of medical culture, Dr. Issels created the world first fully 'integrative' cancer therapy. Issels hypothesised that primary and recurrent malignancies result in a tendency of the body to produce tumours - a tendency built on underlying problems that are potentially curable through comprehensive immunotherapy.

Guided only by his desire to cure the patient, Issels made use of every tool in his toolbox to reduce tumours, to strengthen the immune response and to heal tissues. He brought together potent treatments from the biomedical orthodoxy, from holistic medicine, and from marginalised medicine. In CANCER A SECOND OPINION, the 'Father of Integrative Medicine' describes the treatment that produced the most remarkable, independently verified cure rate in medical history - and explains why this approach can improve worldwide cure rates today.
