Self-Published Book Author Probes Cancer Regression by Boosting Up Immune System

In view of the reported side effects of advanced cancer treatments, an Xlibris book author re-examines a hundred-year old immune therapy as cure of the disease.

Philadelphia, PA, November 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Cancer regression by boosting up human immune system is investigated by Donald H. MacAdam in his book Spontaneous Regression: Cancer and the Immune System, released by the book publishing company Xlibris.

Recent studies showing that advanced cancer treatments damage immune systems and pose great risk on the patient’s survival prompted MacAdam to self-publish his study.

MacAdam revisited the hundred-year old immune therapy for cancer done by William Coley, a young New York doctor who encountered a case of spontaneous regression following an accidental infection when he injected a terminally ill patient with a virulent strain of bacteria.

The patient suffered an attack of the infectious disease for more than a week but the cancerous tumors began to break down and entirely disappeared within a few weeks after the infection subsided.

The advancement of chemotherapy in the 1950s and the discovery of fast-acting radiation therapy at the turn of the century make Coley’s invasive cure for cancer fade away.

Medical journals, however, publishes thousands of apparently incurable cases of cancer that spontaneously regressed without any medical treatment and bares the power of the human immune system in restoring a cancer patient’s health.

MacAdam’s published book recounts the history and promise of different cancer treatments using non-technical language and looks into the roles of genetics, diet, lifestyle, infection and power of the mind in the development, prevention and spontaneous regression of the dreaded disease.

MacAdam is a self-published book author and holds top positions in more than twenty companies in different industries including biotechnology.

His book is available in Xlibris, a self-publishing company and a leader in the industry.
