A great book for everyone--not just those with cancer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A very interesting and informative introduction to Eastern healing, such as acupuncture and macrobiotic diet. Also a touching and uplifting story of a family's struggle with cancer. Ms. Todd's recipes and sources for further reading are especially helpful. The title sums it up: healing through an effective combination of "alternative" Eastern therapies and "traditional" Western medicine. Highly recommend this book for all those facing any serious illness. It does not claim to have all the answers, but helps identify some concrete ways to help in healing yourself (or at the very least, to better tolerate treatments).
