Care as unique as you

From Dr. Andrew Weil's foreword:

"I believe in Keith's program and would go to the Block Center if I were facing
a diagnosis of cancer. It is where I have sent and will continue to send
my friends and family members. For many years, the Block Center was the only
facility practicing true integrative cancer treatment. Today, a few others exist,
but the Block Center continues to set the standard by which other integrative
cancer care facilities should be measured."

“Life Over Cancer is the compilation of Dr. Keith Block’s three
decades of research and development of his optimal model of
integrative cancer treatment. As chief of surgical Oncology of a major
medical institution, I have sent many patients to the Block Center. They
experienced less treatment toxicity, improved treatment response,
better quality of life, and improved outcomes. In my opinion, Dr.
Block’s clinic is unique and is the top integrative oncology center in the
U.S. It is where I would go if I was ever diagnosed with cancer.”
     —N. Joseph Espat, M.D. Professor and Chief, Surgical Oncology,
     Roger Williams Medical Center, Providence, Rhode Island

“Life Over Cancer is a must-read for anyone combating this disease.
It provides genuine hope, as well as the evidence, rationale, and
instructions in how to live a healthier, fuller life with cancer, while
providing a broader array of treatment options that improve quality
of life.”
     —Nick Vogelzang, M.D., Director, Nevada Cancer Institute,
     Las Vegas Professor of Medicine, University of
     Nevada School of Medicine, Las Vegas

“Here is cancer care as it should be: person- centered, integrated,
individualized, and science- based. If you or your loved ones have been
touched by cancer, or if you care for those with cancer, read this book.”
     —Wayne B. Jonas, M.D., President and CEO, Samueli Institute
     Director (1995–1999), Office of Alternative Medicine,
     National Institutes of Health

“Keith Block is one of the great pioneers of integrative oncology.
This important book is essential reading for patients and health
professionals alike. Block’s approach is indicative of much of the
future of this critically important field of medicine.”
     —Michael Lerner, Ph.D., President, Commonweal Cofounder,
     Commonweal Cancer Help Program

“Life Over Cancer provides the reader with an accessible and
comprehensive program that combines the best of conventional
cancer therapy with effective complementary interventions. It is this
“whole person” approach to patient care that Dr. Block brought to
the University of Illinois Integrative Medical Education program,
which he established in the mid- nineties. His dedication and efforts
have transformed the school’s medical education curriculum, and
inspired future physicians to view integrative medicine as a truly
significant component of health care.”
     —L. J. Sandlow, M.D. Senior Associate Dean for Academic &
     Educational Affairs Professor and Head, Department of Medical
     Education University of Illinois College of Medicine


“In Life Over Cancer, Dr. Block demonstrates his huge depth of
knowledge of the comprehensive management of patients with cancer
and illustrates the wealth of opportunities and choices available to
them. This is a book about optimism, soundly grounded in science.”
     —Stephen M. Sagar, M.D. President, Society for Integrative
     Oncology Associate Professor, Oncology and Medicine,
     McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario

“Life Over Cancer provides countless strategies to enable the patient
to regain some of the lost sense of control that a diagnosis often
carries, empowering them to be a true partner in their fight for life.
Dr. Block’s counsel and guidance have assisted countless medical
professionals hoping to provide their own patients with a
comprehensive integrative approach to care.”
     —Donald I. Abrams, M.D., Chief of Hematology- Oncology
     San Francisco General Hospital Professor Clinical Medicine,
     Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, UCSF

“How refreshing to come across this thoughtful book. . . . With the
boldness of a carpe diem, this evidence- based integrative approach
should serve as a wake- up call for oncologists to overcome their
obsession with treating cancer as an isolated target and to pay
attention to the cancer patient whose own faculties need to be
harnessed as agencies to win this war.”
     —Azra Raza, M.D., Director of the Myelodysplatic Syndrome Center
     St. Vincent’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, New York, N.Y. Former
     Chief Hematology- Oncology of the University of Massachusetts

“Keith Block is the foremost integrative oncologist in North
America. In Life Over Cancer he shares his incomparable depth of
knowledge and experience with us and presents a comprehensive,
scientific, and practical program for helping people with cancer
effectively fight the disease.”
     —Leo Galland, M.D., Author, Power Healing Director,
     The Foundation for Integrated Medicine

“Life Over Cancer is a training manual for cancer patients, their
families, cancer nurses, oncology pharmacists, and oncologists. [It]
provides patients with insight and a series of concrete steps to help
them live better and longer, despite a cancer diagnosis.”
