Description:
This unique book contains 50 inspiring stories, all of them written by the cancer survivors themselves. The stories cover all ages, many types of cancer (see the table of contents for all types covered) and numerous treatments, mostly focusing on alternative methods. All of them are different but generally include:
1. How they were diagnosed. 2. What they went through after the diagnosis and how they coped with it. 3. How they healed themslves and what they felt was the most effective part. 4. Advice they would give others going through the same thing.
As a bonus, contact information is also included so any of the survivors may be personally contacted for questions or support. This book is a great read for anyone, whether they’ve been diagnosed with cancer or not.

An uplifting readingNov 16, 2008 I would highly recommend reading this book to those with terminal cases. It's an uplifting reading that provides hope and more importantly enables one with a wide range of people's experiences HOW to beat cancer using unconventional methods.
AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!Jan 17, 2008 Loved this BOOK!!!!!!! I love to read about other survivor stories! Every stopry is different and real, and so many different ways to BEAT THE BEAST. Being an 18 month survivor I truly believe you need to be an advocate for yourself and find your path....in fact I started my own website to tell my story and start a campaign to raise Colon Cancer awareness www.runlizrun.com

Some good storiesApr 25, 2006 Some of the survivor's stories are very entertaining, if not well-written. The fact that many of them were willing to go "outside the box" and do their own thing was commendable.
I was hoping for more information and more of a variety on alternative treatments than what the book delivered.

Personal success stories to give you courageAug 23, 2004 A cancer diagnosis usually frightens the patient. This book is very valuable to build courage. Many of these 50 people describe their own fear at various stages of recovery. But what they have in common is that they "took charge of their own health care." In most cases, they got a negative prognosis from a conventional cancer doctor (oncologist). But they sought out second and third opinions until they found a doctor, clinic and/or a combination of substances that worked.
These obviously unedited descriptions are gripping and convincing because they are in the patient's own words. Many of them (about 20) used some form of the Gerson Therapy. There are much easier and less expensive treatments available now. One doesn't have to go to Mexico anymore to get competent treatment from physicians using Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). So, a cancer patient should not look to this book to find the optimum treatment or clinic. That is not its purpose. Read it for the inspiration that every cancer patient needs.
