RX for Hope is a book that is long overdue! It provides a rational
basis for an enlightened approach to cancer that honors science,
nature, the patient, and last, but not least, the physician’s code
to use all rational means to promote health, and alleviate
unnecessary suffering.
*Mark Gignac, ND, FABNO*
This forward thinking work provides a full explanation of the
benefits of metronomic chemotherapy, showing readers both how it
works and why they should consider it when making treatment
decisions. It should be applauded.

Cancer with Natural Medicine*
RX for Hope provides a thorough insight into the aspects of
oncology that are often neglected by the modern cancer care
establishment despite being instrumental and often successful tools
for a segment of cancer patients who haven’t been willing to accept
the bleak prognosis offered to them. From emphasis on how
chemotherapy administration schedule may affect patient outcomes to
a broader attention to the effects that one's own immune system has
in controlling cancer, this book makes sense of topics that are
generally hard to comprehend. A great read for both cancer patients
and doctors alike who are searching for solutions beyond the status
quo.
*Atis Barzdins, M.D., Medical Oncologist*
Chen and Tabatsky have provided us with an insightful treatment
roadmap for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. Chen’s
results should give patients and clinicians pause and reason to
review his methodology. Using the newest and best version of
chemotherapy delivery, RX for Hope gives patients more hope for
better outcomes.
