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.
