A companion to The Definitive Guide to Cancer, this practical and fully revised guide (formerly titled Five to Thrive) outlines a five-step plan integrating both conventional and alternative therapies for cancer survivors.
     There are more than 13 million cancer survivors in the United States who, although they have finished treatment, often live in fear of recurrence. The Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancercombats that fear by teaching readers not just how to survive, but how to thrive after cancer. The authors' integrative health plan, Five to Thrive, combines both natural and conventional healing methods to support and enhance five critical pathways to better health: immune, inflammation, insulin resistance, hormones, and digestion/detoxification. While other health plans may focus on one or two of these functions, this book is the only program that emphasizes a comprehensive approach needed for optimal health and recurrence prevention.

      Naturopathic physician Alschuler and medical journalist Gazella bring multiple recommendations for a healthy lifestyle after cancer together in an accessible book. The title is presented as a supplement to conventional medical treatments, not as an alternative treatment. Some recommendations are based on robust evidence from the medical literature, but others stem from single studies of healthy subjects or other nonsurvivor groups, so the reasons for these suggestions aren't as clear. The five-step plan, comprised of five key body pathways and five core strategies with five actions steps each, is easy to follow. A companion to The Definitive Guide to Cancer: An Integrative Approach to Prevention, Treatment, and Healing, this work was previously published in 2011 as Five To Thrive: Your Cutting-Edge Cancer Prevention Plan. Some of the references have been updated, but this new volume contains much the same information. VERDICT For cancer survivors and caregivers who need a well-organized, comprehensible manual for healthy living after cancer and who don't already have the previous titles by these authors.--Margaret Henderson, Midlothian, VA
