Spontaneous Healing by Andrew Weil

Peace, Love & Healing by Bernie Siegel

A Cancer Battle Plan by Anne Frahm

How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine by Michael Murray

And most important to me was my Bible.

There were other books that were helpful but I have forgotten them or given them to others who are dealing with cancer.

Massage was very helpful for me in my recovery along with lots of hiking.

Quoting from the book: “According to Prevention Magazine: “It is estimated that 90% of all physical problems have psychological roots. That may sound like a gross exaggeration. In fact, it’s probably a conservative estimate. A growing body of evidence indicates that virtually every ill that can befall the body-from acne to arthritis, headaches to heart disease, cold sores to cancer-is influenced, for better or worse, by our emotions. (Quoted from The Complete Guide to Your Emotions And Your Health p. 563 by Emrika Padus and the editors of Prevention magazine.)”

“I only know that by using this “tool” I have been able to alleviate about 90% of the negativity and erronous programming in my life, the result of which has brought me the sweet gifts of serenity, love, contentment, peace and joy.” author Karen K Truman

The Happy Breast Book by Cheryl Chapman, RN

This is the first book written by breasts. We are lovingly known as Gussie and Lucy or “the Girls”. We decided to place our feelings, observations, information and experiences on paper. Breast talk is long over due. There are too many unhappy breasts just hanging out with no clue about how to be happy. We are happy Girls because we are part of a wonderful woman who cares about us. We believe that education is the way to prevention and good health.

Eat Right 4 Your Type

Written by Peter J. D’Adamo this book has really helped me with my understanding of nutrition and how the body uses food. I do feel better eating this way. I have purchased many copies for family and friends. I have had great success finding it at the half price book store at the Twix Town Road, Cedar Rapids, Iowa location.
