At the start of this intimate and moving memoir, Dr. David Servan- Schreiber is returning by bicycle to his Paris home from an unsettling appointment. Following several months of fatigue and fainting spells, he had scheduled an emergency MRI. The results confirm his worst fears: the return of the cancer that he was first diagnosed with nineteen years earlier. Fully aware of what the prognosis means, he redoubles his commitment to an "Anticancer" diet, and complements his chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and vaccine protocols with acupuncture and yoga. At the same time, he undertakes a close assessment of his own life, realizing that he has neglected a key piece of "Anticancer" advice-to create a stress-free life; instead he had embarked on an international tour to take his message to the public. Nevertheless, he concludes that he would not have done it any differently. In this book, Servan-Schreiber raises many of the most complex and personal questions about how we live and how we prepare for death. Powerful, honest, and inspiring, he continually surprises with his thoughts on what's important in life and the meaning of death.

I was diagnosed for the first time 15 years ago. I received conventional treatment and the cancer went into remission, but I relapsed after that. Then I decided to learn everything I could to help my body defend itself against the illness. I've lived cancer free now for seven years. In this book, I'd like to tell you the stories - scientific and personal - behind what I learned.' Author David-Servan Schreiber is an academic physician with a wealth of experience in the field of integrative medicine. He will show you how, through simple alterations in diet, lifestyle and attitude, you can tackle cancer alongside conventional treatments, or even avoid it altogether.

Lorsque le soleil se fait rare, ressentez-vous une baisse d'énergie, de productivité, de performances physiques et intellectuelles, ainsi qu'une diminution de votre créativité ? Parallèlement, constatez-vous un besoin accru de sommeil, une envie irrésistible de grignoter à toute heure, et un besoin inhabituel de consommer des féculents et des sucreries ? Si oui, vous faites partie des 20 % d'Européens touchés par le blues hivernal, ou Trouble de l'humeur saisonnier (THS). Ce syndrome, reconnu depuis l'Antiquité, a été étudié en profondeur à partir de 1973 par des chercheurs du NIMH, qui ont développé une méthode de traitement consistant à s'exposer chaque matin pendant environ 20 minutes à une lumière imitant le spectre solaire. Ce traitement, appelé luminothérapie, a montré des résultats rapides et impressionnants. La première partie de l'ouvrage explore les différentes formes de dépressions saisonnières. La seconde partie aborde les traitements par luminothérapie, répond aux questions fréquentes, et fournit des conseils sur l'achat du matériel nécessaire. Enfin, elle propose des adresses pour consulter des luminothérapeutes professionnels en cas de troubles plus graves. Un guide essentiel sur le THS et ses traitements par la luminothérapie !
