Your waking hours are met with confusion, anxiety, and a slew of questions for which you can't find a suitable answer. You have qualified doctors on your side, but every visit with them just leads to a greater sense of uncertainty. What you need is a confidante, someone who knows what you're going through, because they've been there and can answer the tough questions you have. Dr. Diva Nagula wants to be that source of clarity and strength for you. A physician who was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014, Dr. Nagula integrated a holistic approach to his traditional treatment regimen that ultimately led him to remission. In From Doctor to Patient, Dr. Nagula takes you inside his journey and discusses the importance of balancing the mind, body, and spirit for optimal health. His story paints a picture of hope that'll empower you to take back the control of your life that you've lost since your diagnosis.

Download or read book The Journey Through Cancer written by Dr. Jeremy Geffen and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Journey Through Cancer is an essential guide for all cancer patients, their families, and their loved ones. As a board-certified oncologist, with more than ten years of experience serving as physician, guide, mentor, coach, and friend to thousands of cancer patients and their families, Dr. Jeremy Geffen has learned how cancer often challenges the mind, heart, and spirit of patients and their families as deeply --- if not more deeply --- than it challenges the physical body. Yet this simple truth is often overlooked by Western medicine as it aggressively pursues the best ways to diagnose and treat cancer. Too often physicians focus almost exclusively on the physical dimensions of the disease, rather than caring for the whole person who has the disease. Dr. Geffen presents a groundbreaking seven-level program, used at his cancer center in Florida, that addresses every dimension of the person with cancer--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual: Education and Information, giving patients answers to questions about their disease and their treatment options. Psychosocial Support, focusing on the need for and benefits of a strong support network. The Body as Garden, exploring the vast array of alternative and complementary therapies. Emotional Healing, helping patients and families deal with the often overwhelming emotional challenges of cancer. The Nature of Mind, exploring how patients' thoughts and beliefs profoundly influence their journey. Life Assessment, showing patients how to discover their life's deepest meaning and purpose. The Nature of Spirit, connecting patients to the profoundly healing spiritual aspect of life we all share. In The Journey Through Cancer, Dr. Geffen presents a revolutionary model of healing based on the best treatments available from every culture and paradigm of medicine, one that respects and explores every possible avenue and resource for healing and transformation, blending East and West, body and mind, heart and technology, science and spirit.

Download or read book Cured written by Jeffrey Rediger, M.D. and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to disease, who beats the odds — and why? When it comes to spontaneous healing, skepticism abounds. Doctors are taught that “miraculous” recoveries are flukes, and as a result they don’t study those cases or take them into account when treating patients. Enter Dr. Jeff Rediger, who has spent over 15 years studying spontaneous healing, pioneering the use of scientific tools to investigate recoveries from incurable illnesses. Dr. Rediger’s research has taken him from America’s top hospitals to healing centers around the world—and along the way he’s uncovered insights into why some people beat the odds. In Cured, Dr. Rediger digs down to the root causes of illness, showing how to create an environment that sets the stage for healing. He reveals the patterns behind healing and lays out the physical and mental principles associated with recovery: first, we need to physically heal our diet and our immune systems. Next, we need to mentally heal our stress response and our identities. Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Our perception changes our experience, even to the point of changing our physical bodies—and thus the healing of our identity may be our greatest tool to recovery. Ultimately, miracles only contradict what we know of nature at this point in time. Cured leads the way in explaining the science behind these miracles, and provides a first-of-its-kind guidebook to both healing and preventing disease.

From the Foreword: "As a physician who has practiced holistic medicine, now called Integrative Medicine, for over 4 decades, I can attest to the value of the strategies that Dr. Freedman recommends including in your treatment program." -Martin Rossman, MD, author of The Worry Solution and Guided Imagery for Self-Healing Here is what Dr. Kelly Turner, PhD has to say about Healing Cancer with YOUR Mind: "Dr. Freedman speaks from experience, both as a cancer survivor himself, and the father of a Radical Remission cancer survivor. His book, "Healing Cancer with Your Mind" gives readers a nurturing, helping hand throughout the entire cancer journey, especially with regard to developing a meditation practice. -Kelly Turner, PhD, Author of the NYTimes Bestseller "Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds" One of his main healers was the Isadora Duncan Award winner and innovative dance performer and teacher, Anna Halprin: "I am a cancer survivor, so what I have to share comes from personal experience. Cancer is like enlightenment at gunpoint. One must face it and do something. The 7 Strategies ... provides us with realistic and practical modalities that give us strength to face the challenges of cancer and hope to survive. This is a must read book for anyone facing cancer or their caretaker." -Anna Halprin, PhD, dance pioneer, author, choreographer, and winner of the Isadora Duncan award and many others. A seminar participant had this to say: "As a nutritionist and naturopath, I was drawn to the event because I found it fascinating that mindfulness could heal cancer. Originally thinking I would only stay a few minutes for the event, I not only stayed the whole time, but learned so much from Jerome and the 7 strategies. Jerome is such an amazing person who has contributed so much and the mindfulness meditation sessions during the event and discussion amongst the attendees was dynamic to say the least. I believe Jerome's testimony and book gives people power. Power that they can overcome the biggest of odds. Power that there are alternatives to just chemotherapy, and power that by becoming one's own health advocate through meditation, nutrition, and lifestyle change, healing is in our hands." --Immanuel Lewis, an elite holistic and naturopathic nutritionist practicing in Santa Monica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Can You Feel Better as You Go Through Cancer? When you're diagnosed with cancer or facing a recurrence, it's common to feel confused, scared, overwhelmed, powerless, and shocked. It's hard to know what to do, and how to make decisions for the best care and quality of life. You may feel disconnected from your body, mind, and spirit, which makes it all too easy to make decisions out of desperation rather than discernment. And if you're a loved one, friend, fellow support group member, nurse, physician, or healer, how can you best support the patient? The method discussed in this book gives you a simple, four-step tool you can use, no matter how you're feeling, to assess your needs. You'll learn how to choose personalized, synergistic practices to meet those needs on every level--physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual--and improve your quality of life. As a result you can: * Feel better even as you go through treatment * Feel less overwhelmed * Make sense of all the different information * Learn how to navigate your care and advocate for yourself * Manage your state so you feel empowered * Live with a sense of meaning in your life * Regain your sense of wonder Melanie Roche, MA, is an energy healer, cancer survivor, and leader in mind-body complementary healthcare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fourteen years, Brenda Michaels battled cancer. Then one day she surrendered to the experience and found the gift in her disease. The Gift of Cancer: A Miraculous Journey to Healing speaks to anyone on a journey of wellbeing, whether suffering from a life-threatening disease or merely desiring to live a better, more fulfilling life. After Brenda’s third cancer diagnosis and being told she had a year to live, she boldly stepped away from the accepted medical model, said “no” to chemotherapy, and chose alternative treatment. This unorthodox path, the connection of mind, body, and spirit, which many experts now believe is the key to true healing, ultimately saved Brenda’s life and put her in control of her own destiny. Her story reveals the immense healing power available within each of us. With each obstacle Brenda encounters, we see the indefatigable courage and fortitude she demonstrates in facing her demons both inside and out. Michaels’ uplifting memoir encourages us to listen to our inner voice, trust our intuition, and look at the true source of healing. When we are willing to look deep within and take responsibility for our choices, we have the power to alter the course of our lives in miraculous and unexpected ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakthrough guide for cancer patients on using the mind to treat the body, from a pioneer in complementary medicine Recent research has shown that the mind can make a tremendous difference in not only the daily experience of living with cancer but also in the potential for overcoming it. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Martin L. Rossman-hailed as "one of the greatest healers of our generation" by Rachel Naomi Remen-shows cancer patients how to use imagery in specific ways that can help them in their fight against cancer. Imagery is a natural, efficient way of storing and processing information, and one that has powerful effects on both emotional states and physiology. And while imagery is not a substitute for medical, surgical, or other physical approaches to cancer therapy, scientific studies have proven that it complements and enhances those treatments in many important ways. In this first book of its kind, Rossman provides specific ways to use imaging in fighting cancer. Praise for Guided Imagery for Self-Healing: "This superb collection of imagery techniques is a landmark contribution to the emerging field of behavioral medicine." -Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

Dr Hsu's emphasis is on helping the patient to grow, and heal their psyche and life, and thus reinvigorate and unleash the body's powerful natural healing and recuperative powers.

WATCH THE BOOK TRAILER Few experiences stir the emotions and throw a person into crisis as illness does. If affects not only the body but also the spirit and soul. Illness is about life and death, fear and hope, love and conflict, spirit and body. And yet, the healthcare system is not structured around these considerations - our doctors and other medical professionals are not trained to deal with the whole person. Care of the Soul In Medicine is Moore's manifesto about the future of healthcare. In this new vision of care, Moore speaks to the importance of healing a person rather than simply treating a body. He gives advice to both healthcare providers and patients for maintaining dignity and humanity. He provides spiritual guidance for dealing with feelings of mortality and threat, encouraging patients to not only take an active part in healing but also to view illness as a positive passage to new awareness. While we don't fully understand the extent to which healing depends on attitude; it has been shown that healing needs to focus on more than the body.
