Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds [9780062268747]

Overview

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—Discover the nine key factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer—even after conventional medicine has failed

While getting her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkley, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, a researcher, lecturer, and counselor in integrative oncology, was shocked to discover that no one was studying episodes of radical (or unexpected) remission—when people recover against all odds without the help of conventional medicine, or after conventional medicine has failed and alternative healing methods are implemented.

She was so fascinated by this kind of remission that she embarked on a ten-month trip around the world, traveling to ten different countries to interview fifty holistic healers and twenty radical remission cancer survivors about their healing practices and techniques. Her research continued by interviewing over 100 Radical Remission survivors and studying over 1,000 of these inspirational stories. Her evidence presents nine common themes that she believes may help even terminal patients turn their lives around.

These life-altering themes surround:

·      Embracing changes in your diet to reclaim control of your health, including the use of herbs and supplements to support your immune system

·      Learning to tune in to your intuition for emotional regulation, expression, and a clear mind-body connection

·      Instinctively increasing positive emotions and uncovering the healing power of community and social support systems

·      Deepening your spiritual connection to find the deepest meaning of your life—one unequivocally worth fighting for

These diverse and mesmerizing stories prove that even when medical systems tell us there is nothing left to do, there is still a beacon of hope out there. Radical Remission compassionately guides readers through an actionable system to attaining the seemingly impossible: a healthy, healing future and an unstoppable human spirit.

“A personal and deeply moving exploration of the power of the human spirit and innate wisdom of the body to overcome catastrophic illness.”—Andrew Weil, M.D.
