"Combining scientifically reliable information and compassion, Alschuler and Gazella have created a useful and practical cancer prevention plan. The personal stories from the authors that are peppered throughout the book make it even more interesting and compelling. If you are concerned about preventing cancer, you should read this book."

—Alan R. Gaby, MD, author of the textbook Nutritional Medicine

"This book is not only a passionate and well-written reminder to live life to the fullest it is a template for how to do so.  As a physician for over twenty years, I have witnessed remarkable survivals against great odds.  We do not teach patients, however, how to transition from a survivor to a thriver. All of us can benefit from this well researched and articulate review of the influencers of "vital living.”  But for cancer survivors like myself, this book should be required reading.  I have told patients that their diagnosis can offer a blessing of opportunity to enrich every remaining moment of their lives. These authors have blessed us with Five to Thrive, a blueprint for building a better life in which we can thrive."

—Susan W Ryan, DO, Emergency Physician Denver, CO, and Melanoma Survivor

"Reading Five to Thrive is like having a conversation with a caring and very well informed friend, intent on educating you to make healthy lifestyle changes and motivating you to sustain them. This incredibly valuable resource will serve not only to reduce the risk of cancer and its recurrence, but will also decrease obesity, diabetes, heart disease and many other chronic ailments in those who follow its sound advice.  If Five to Thrive—with its focus on health and wellness—were mandatory reading, there would be no need for Health Care Reform!
