While the world continues to look for that one "magic bullet that will defeat all cancers, the fact is that modern medicine may already have the arsenal of weapons it needs to conquer this deadly killer. Perhaps all that is required is an innovative strategy that uses our undervalued weapons in a far more effective way. In BEYOND THE MAGIC BULLET: THE ANTI-CANCER COCKTAIL, Dr. Raymond Chang takes a penetrating look at a bold new way of treating and defeating the disease with what is already available today.
The book begins by examining modern medicine's use of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy in the war against cancer. It explains how conventional medicine now relies on a narrowly focused strategy of treatments that employs, at best, only one or two drugs or other therapies at a time. It then offers an approach based on the knowledge that certain off-label drugs and nutritional supplements are each somewhat effective against the disorder. By combining these therapeutic agents into a powerful "cocktail, doctors have found that they can simultaneously attack the cancer on many different levels and at several different angles, with the goal of overwhelming it and halting its spread. Dr. Chang not only discusses the effectiveness of the cocktail, but, also, provides an assessment of each of the most valuable agents that are available for the battle.
The idea of the medical "cocktail is not new. For over a thousand years, traditional medical systems throughout the world have effectively used the multi-agent approach to restore health. And today, the most successful treatments for HIV and Hepatitis C are based on this simple concept.
By detailing how this strategy can be utilised in the war against cancer, BEYOND TE MAGIC BELLET leads the way to a bright new future of hope and healing.

Paperback. Condition: Good. While scientists win occasional skirmishes in the battle against cancer, the overall war continues to go badly. Stories abound about revolutionary drugs that may be available in the future, but offer no real help to those who have cancer today. At present, conventional approaches continue to rely on a narrowly focused strategy of treatments, with doctors using, at best, only one or two drugs or other therapies at a time. While this may be acceptable in a laboratory setting or a clinical trial, it has done little to diminish the number of people who die each year from this dread disease. Recently, however, conventional medicine's core strategy has been re-examined, and a new, potentially more effective approach has emerged--one that combines the best of Eastern wisdom with Western science. Beyond the Magic Bullet--The Anti-Cancer Cocktail by Dr. Raymond Chang takes a penetrating look at this bold new way of treating cancer. The book begins by examining modern medicine's use of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted drugs in the war against cancer. It then offers a new therapy based on the knowledge that certain off-label drugs, nutrients, and therapies are each somewhat effective against cancer. By combining these therapeutic agents into a "cocktail," doctors have found that they can attack the cancer all at once, on many different levels and at several different angles, with the goal of overwhelming the disease. Dr. Chang not only discusses the effectiveness of the cocktail, but also provides an examination of the most valuable agents available. For over a thousand years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has used the cocktail approach to safely and effectively fight disease. Throughout the world, the most successful treatments for HIV and Hepatitis C are based on this strategy. Beyond the Magic Bullet--The Anti-Cancer Cocktail leads the way to a bright new future of hope and healing. Seller Inventory # CIN0757002323G
