Book excerpt: "How do I deal with this fear?" You've just learned that you have cancer. Once the shock wears off, your new reality sets in. The fear is overwhelming. You're reminded over and over again that you need to have a positive attitude. You put on a brave face and try to think positively. But, fearing the worst, it's nearly impossible. It Begins with Belief challenges the idea that you must simply think positively and offers a more practical approach to dealing with your fear. This book will: * Provide a step-by-step roadmap to overcoming your fear. * Address difficult questions such as, "If all I can think about is dying, isn't that what will happen?" and "How can I be optimistic when I'm consumed by uncertainty?" * Help you get to the root of your fear by exploring your beliefs about cancer, healing, and love. * Show you how to challenge your fear-based beliefs and create new, empowering beliefs based on fact. * Prove this truth: If your body creates cancer, it can heal cancer, too! It's not about thinking positively. It's about believing positively! Sound impossible? This book will show you how. "With Jill's intelligence, compassion, and medical knowledge, she was the perfect survivor mentor. She has taken the stories and insights and written a factual, but uplifting book that will help cancer survivors and caregivers, alike." Kristy Zane, American Cancer Society, Reach to Recovery Coordinator A word from the Author: When you hear the words, "You have cancer," it's normal to feel afraid. Faced with a serious illness, fear represents your very strong instinct to survive. However, if you don't consciously address your fear, it can create feelings of deep hopelessness. Feeling hopeless is extremely painful. I know this because I have been in those shoes. Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with an aggressive recurrence of breast cancer. More than anything else--the chemo, the side effects, and the loss of my breasts and hair--my greatest struggle was dealing with the fear. When you are very scared and convinced that things "don't look good," the idea of overcoming your fear may seem impossible. My mission is to show you that it absolutely can be done. Whether you follow the guidance in my book, It Begins with Belief, or reach out for one-on-one coaching, I am confident that I can help you. I will guide you through a practical, step-by-step process that will change what you believe is possible with real facts and actions. Together, we will create new experiences, beliefs, and expectations that will give you real hope. Remember, it's not about thinking positively. It's about the power of believing positively! About the Author: Jill earned her doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic-West and her board certification in family practice from the University of California, Davis-FNP/PA Program. Jill's greatest passion is showing her patients how to take control and find real hope, even when faced with a life-threatening diagnosis. She has had the pleasure of helping many people through her medical practice, and as a volunteer for the American Cancer Society's Reach to Recovery program, a support program for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Jill currently devotes her time to coaching cancer survivors using the principles of It Begins with Belief. Please visit Jill at http://jillringer.com.

Download or read book Pearls of Jewish Wisdom on Living with Kindness written by Shmuly Yanklowitz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we will share forty lessons, each with its own unique theme. The common thread to the series is living with deeper kindness. How can the Jewish tradition inspire us to live with deeper love and compassion? How can Jewish pearls of wisdom inform how we care for one another? The book contains five sections: Kindness Toward Specific Individuals; Kindness Toward All Individuals; Kindness Through Restraint; Care for Our Environment; and Self-Improvement as a Catalyst for Kindness to Others. The first two sections address proactive kindness towards our fellow humans; the third addresses kindness by avoiding hurting others; the fourth, kindness towards all of God's creations, including animals and nature, as kindness cannot be only people-directed; the fifth serves as a starting point and catalyst for all of the above, for without first being kind to ourselves and improving our general character we cannot be truly kind towards others. The argument is not only that God wants us to live with kindness and that Torah necessitates it, but that kindness has the greatest chance of bringing happiness and meaning to our lives.

Download or read book Radical Remission written by Kelly A. Turner, PhD and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her New York Times bestseller, Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, founder of the Radical Remission Project, uncovers nine factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer—even after conventional medicine has failed. While getting her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkley, Dr. 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. 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 1000 of these cases. Her evidence presents nine common themes that she believes may help even terminal patients turn their lives around.
