These are the books that I have read in my journey to try to help my body heal from cancer. A lot of books apply to cancer in general.
Author: Andreas Moritz
Summary:
n Cancer Is Not A Disease, bestselling author and internationally acclaimed health expert, Andreas Moritz, proves the point that cancer is the physical symptom reflecting our body's final attempt to eliminate specific life-destructive causes. He claims that removing such causes sets the precondition for complete healing of our body, mind and emotions. This book confronts you with a radically new understanding of cancer - one that outdates the current cancer model. On average, the conventional approaches of killing, cutting or burning cancerous cells offer most patients a remission rate of merely 7%, and the majority of the few survivors are "cured" for just five years or less. The prominent cancer researcher and professor at the University of California (Berkeley), Dr. Hardin Jones, stated: "Patients are as well, or better off, untreated." Any published success figures in cancer survival statistics are offset by equal or better scores among those not receiving any treatments. More people are killed by the treatments than saved. Cancer is Not a Disease shows you why regular cancer treatments can be fatal, what actually causes cancer, and how you can remove the obstacles that prevent the body from healing itself. Cancer is not an attempt on your life; to the contrary, cancer is trying to save it. Unless we change our perception of what cancer really is, it will continue to threaten the life of nearly one out of every two people. This book opens a door for those who wish to turn feelings of victimhood into empowerment and self-mastery, and disease into health. « Less

This book was where I "started my journry" understanding the way cancer starts in the body, why traditional treatments not only do not work but are often worse than cancer itself, and the need to heal the body itself. I cannot imagine not having this book on a natural journey

Summary:
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 methods of healing 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 cases. 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 · Learning to tune in to your intuition for emotional regulation, expression, and mental clarity · 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. Racial 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.

Summary:
A clinical narrative revealing medical principles that challenge our approach to disease, providing a path to radically improve your health, from a naturopathic doctor practicing at the frontier of holistic medicine. After Dr. Katherine Willow lost her husband to cancer, his autopsy revealed that an assessment from experts in German New Medicine (GNM) had been accurate. She documents her journey with this emerging modality, from first encounter to using GNM in her naturopathic practice to address a broad range of medical conditions: cancer, autoimmune disease, diabetes, arthritis, congestive heart failure, allergies, skin conditions, and more. Research shows that adverse childhood events and emotional distress significantly increase the risk of certain diseases. Yet the medical system falls short when it comes to predicting how specific traumas will impact health. GNM offers a map to this largely uncharted territory. Connecting types of emotional shock with health conditions, it reveals how to heal and avoid illness through understanding the biological programs of emotions.
