Ideal for all Cancer Sufferers - especially newly diagnosed April 29, 2005

The front cover comment "A unique positive guide to Cancer using traditional and natural therapies" is an acurate summary of the book. Katrina Ellis is a Naturopath who suffered cancer and had it treated conventionally (operation-chemotherapy etc)then went to natural therapies to prevent reoccurrence/metastases.
When first diagnosed with Cancer, a person is overwhelmed by their "death sentence" and having to cope with all the emotions that brings. Then they have to face up to treatment and this is where this book is extremely valuable as it covers all the treatment options. The philosophy of the author may be best summed in a sentence in the book "If the egos of both natural and orthodox practitioner were to be set aside, and the financial incentives to prove the other wrong were eliminated, we could remember what the true essence of healing is about.
Perhaps some of the Chapter titles best indicate the theme of this book. " Understanding Surgery" Understanding Chemotherapy" Understanding Radiation Therapy" "Natural Vs Orthodox- Pros and Cons" "The Immune System and Cancer" etc.etc.
Cancer sufferers (both new and long term) to whom I have loaned this book have found it extremely informative and while all the "new" patients have gone down the conventional treatment path, they have used many of the naturopathic suggestions to succesfully ease their travel.
Probably no better endorsement for this book would be that a local Naturopath now loans it to all her clients dealing with cancer and maybe agonising over conventional versus natural treatments or just wanting to understand, a little better, cancer and possible treatments.
