BIBLIOTHERAPY: Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds by Kelly A. Turner, Ph.D
I came to this book through a client's recommendation. I gifted it to others in the past, but I had not read it myself until recently following my dad’s cancer diagnosis.
Dr. Turner’s Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds is her labor of love. She researched cancer case anomalies from around the globe and compiled a database of radical remission stories that she shares in this book. She hopes it motivates and empowers cancer patients to make lifestyle changes and navigate their cancer healing.
“A Radical Remission Survivor is defined as:
- someone who healed using solely an alternative approach,
- healed using an alternative approach after a conventional approach did not result in remission,
- or someone who has found remission using an integrative approach after a prognosis of less than 25% five-year survival rate.”
This book discusses in detail the 9 Key Factors that can make a real difference using Survivor Stories to illustrate:
“Radically changing your diet
Taking control of your health
Following your intuition
Using herbs and supplements
Releasing suppressed emotions
Increasing positive emotions
Embracing social support
Deepening your spiritual connection
Having strong reasons to live”
MY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS BOOK:
The human body is brilliant and wants health.
You must be self-advocating with your health.
Cancer is still your body. It is not an enemy.
Cancer is a messenger asking for you to make lifestyle changes.
“Cancer cells consume sugar- glucose- at a much faster rate than normal cells do” from 10-50x more than normal cells. Cutting sugar or fasting may “starve” cancer cells.
It is important to get in touch with your intuition and let it guide your healing journey. Just because a course of treatment is recommended does not mean it is the right approach for your body. Different things work for different people, all bodies are different.
Radical remission is possible.
