books on Medicine (Additive vs Subtractive)

Medicine is considered subtractive by many. People are cured by taking things away from them then by giving them additional things. As they say, prevention is the best cure.

Even diseases like cancer are now thought to be better cured by fasting rather than chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is known to kill weaker cancer cells, which are competing with stronger cancer cells, leaving only strong cancer cells.
