STOPPING CANCER AT THE SOURCE by M. Sara Rosenthal
M. Sara Rosenthal, author of 23 consumer health books, has
just
released STOPPING CANCER AT THE SOURCE - a new book that makes
public for the first time proven and scientifically based facts
on the primary prevention of cancer.
STOPPING CANCER AT THE SOURCE is written in plain language and
outlines how individuals can reduce their risk of developing
cancer. It also discusses measures governments can implement to
reduce the public's exposure to known carcinogens produced by
industry.
"We cannot rely on government to protect the public from
cancer," says Rosenthal. "This book illustrates how the public
can effectively lobby for changes that can improve public
health, and reduce the incidence of cancer."
STOPPING CANCER AT THE SOURCE is based on recommendations that
appeared in a unique North American report, The Report of the
Ontario Task Force on the Primary Prevention of Cancer, released
in March 1995. Former Ontario Health Minister Ruth Grier
commissioned the Task Force, but after the government changed
hands only a few of the recommendations were ever implemented.
Primary prevention of cancer is still absent from the agenda of
many cancer agencies and non-profit groups.
Many publishers originally rejected STOPPING CANCER AT THE
SOURCE due to its controversial content. In 2000, a contract
with a large Canadian publisher was cancelled just as the book
was ready to go into production. They did not want to proceed
without an endorsement from the Canadian Cancer Society, which
declined to provide one.
"Since 1996, I have been trying to convince publishers that
primary prevention of cancer is a topic worth writing about.
Repeatedly, they claimed there was no market," Rosenthal says.
"Cancer organizations claiming to be there for the public have
kept this information from them - information I believe to be
lifesaving. As a bioethicist, I believe that those of us 'in
the know' have a moral obligation to make this information
widely available. Publishing this book myself is my way of being
able to sleep at night. If one person can stop cancer at the
source because of this book, my effort will have been worth it."
Rosenthal has published the book under her imprint,
SarahealthGuides(tm), a division of her health promotion
website, sarahealth.com. SarahealthGuides(tm) is a book series
created to address rare, stigmatizing or controversial health
topics ignored by mainstream publishers.
