Cancer and the Search for Selective Biochemical Inhibitors, Second Edition

Elucidating the underlying biochemical principles for alternative cancer therapies, this second edition of a bestseller discusses complementary, alternative, and integrative treatments in comparison to chemotherapy. It examines the link between concepts and practices of alternative and conventional medicine. The author analyzes the activity of anticancer plant substances and other alternatives such as Vitamin C, essiac tea, shark cartilage, and cat’s claw. The text also addresses the problem of determining selective and non-toxic enzyme inhibitors for cancer cell metabolic pathways, an area of research in which new developments have given renewed hope to cancer patients.
