ABOUT THE BOOKS
A compassionate guide to the cancer journey, from screening and prevention to diagnosis and recovery.
A cancer diagnosis can change our lives and the lives of our loved ones in an instant. It leaves us seeking answers to myriad questions and searching for hope. In The Cancer Journey, Dr. Chadi Nabhan demystifies this complex disease and offers a compassionate guide to understanding your diagnosis and treatment options.
With decades of experience treating oncology patients, Dr. Nabhan answers your essential questions about cancer, including how it develops, how it is diagnosed, how it is treated, and how to prevent it from returning. He provides suggestions for how readers can prepare for their first visit to a cancer specialist, what questions to ask the health care team, and insider tips for getting second opinions and clinical trials. This comprehensive guide covers screening, survivorship, the art of communication, complementary and integrative medicines, and the future of cancer care. For those who may be at risk or are newly diagnosed, for family members and friends seeking guidance to help their loved ones, and for non-specialist providers seeking to educate their patients, The Cancer Journey is your one-stop-shop for all the information you need.
A behind-the-scenes look inside three key trials involving Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup, cancer, and the search for justice–written by an expert witness medical oncologist who lived it all.
For years, Monsanto declared that their product Roundup, the world’s most widely used weed killer, was safe. But that all changed in 2015, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) analyzed data from scientific studies and concluded that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is probably carcinogenic. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) disagreed, other regulatory agencies got involved, and scientists clamored to understand the link between glyphosate and cancer.
Toxic Exposure tells the true story of numerous patients who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer, after using Roundup and their ensuing trials against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer, one of the largest agrochemical companies in the world). Written by Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA, a cancer specialist, this is the only book written by an expert physician witness who testified in the first three trials against Monsanto.
Dr. Nabhan takes the reader behind the scenes of these pivotal trials, explaining key features of the cases, including how Monsanto downplayed the IARC’s scientific conclusions, may have worked to change how the EPA classified glyphosate, and conducted extensive PR campaigns designed to minimize the public’s perception of the negative health effects of its product. He also provides details about the other expert witnesses who reviewed the evidence, analyzed the science, and stood up to this agricultural behemoth in the courtroom.
Dr. Nabhan tells the inside story of corporate influence, courtroom drama, legal discourse, monumental verdicts, and the ensuing media frenzy surrounding this massive uncovering of the truth and the years of scientific and legal work that led up to it.
