Cancer Action Plan is a new generation of cancer therapy information and should be the First Port of Call for any person (or relative or friend of a person) suffering with cancer. Within Cancer Action Plan the authors present information about a wide selection of the most important unconventional cancer therapies, including treatments that can be carried out from home and/or their local area as well as treatments provided by specialist unconventional cancer clinics around the world. Details of how to carry out relevant therapies and full costings are provided. In addition, Cancer Action Plan includes informative and easy to read interviews with the innovators of the most promising unconventional cancer therapies as well as an interview with the world's most foremost cancer treatment investigator, Ralph Moss. The interviews enable the reader to hear direct from doctors and researchers who have treated 10,000's of individuals using their particular approach. Because of the growing controversy surrounding chemotherapy, one section of Cancer Action Plan provides details of a recently available test that can indicate in advance whether or not chemotherapy is likely to work for an individual and if it is what combination of chemotherapeutic agents are indicated. Also, other important facts about chemotherapy which the reader should be aware of are clearly discussed. The information Cancer Action Plan provides is essential reading for anyone impacted by cancer. The information is structured in a new and unique way, making it easy to read and the information useful and useable. Responsible, well researched and clearly written, Cancer Action Plan is urgent, vital reading for everyone concerned about cancer.

Fiction and Fantasy in Medical Research: The Large-Scale Randomised Trial Every day, millions of patients around the world take medication based on the results of large-scale randomised trials. This method of testing the efficacy of new drugs is widely accepted as the gold standard of medical research. But is this accolade deserved? Fiction and Fantasy in Medical Research subjects the large-scale randomised trial to scrutiny and finds it to be seriously flawed. The best that may be said for these studies is that they merely demonstrate a trivial benefit to patients. But, given the lack of any sound foundation for the methodology, even such modest claims have to be questioned. On the basis of the results of these studies, more than 95% of patients receiving long-term treatment with lipid lowering drugs obtain no benefit whatsoever; of every ?1 million pounds spent on these drugs, more than ?950,000 is wasted. If, as is argued, the methodology is flawed, then these estimates exaggerate the possible benefits of treatment. Yet, the drugs continue to be widely prescribed, exposing patients over long periods of time to the risk of side-effects. This critical appraisal of the large-scale randomised trial raises fundamental issues. How is it that a flawed methodology is so readily embraced by all involved in the delivery of health care? To what extent are those with a vested interest able to influence the outcome of these studies? And what are the ethical implications of treating patients on the basis of such dubious data? The answers to these and many other questions make uncomfortable reading for the advocates of the large-scale randomised trial currently involved in clinical research.

'Help Us, Somebody: The Demolition of the Elderly', gives expression to the voices of elderly people, who are suffering the impact of 'urban regeneration'. The progress promised by politicians and developers hides a scandal of human damage. Evidence from current demolitions shows that few lessons have been learnt since previous, historical slum clearance programs, shattered the lives of countless elderly persons forced from their homes - and, even today, the impacts upon elderly people, forced to change their homes, are hardly recognised.

Sea Words - Water, Wind and Waves: A Glossary of Nautical Words and Phrases

Sea-words, from sea power to word power; the Royal Navy's contribution to English words, phrases, aphorisms, and sayings now in everyday use. Charles II inaugurated the Royal Navy in the 17th century and as such it policed the oceans protecting Britain's Empire and whilst doing so the Navy garnered many new and unusual expressions. Phrases such as 'under the weather, 'nip and tuck', 'all above board' and 'banyan', owe their origins to the Navy. Typical of the English language, many of these modern idioms are corruptions of foreign words, misheard, misunderstood or misquoted. This provides us with a rich if not accurate reflection of the Royal Navy's contact with other nationals, mainly Dutch, French, Spanish, Indian, American and not a little skewed Latin. Sea-words may help settle a quiz argument or help a crossword solver trace the origin of an unusual English phrase - but it will fuel just as many debates as our knowledge of life at sea fades from our collective memory to become vague recollections by old seafarers, old salts. Also by this author, A Brief History of the Royal Navy - Its People, Places and Pets. The London Press, London, ISBN 1905006063.
