Choices in Healing

I think this is a remarkable book. It is quite free of bias, and takes serious looks at both advantages and disadvantages of conventional treatment, and the remarkable spectrum of other and non-traditional healing. He never says bullshit, even when others, especially physicians, might. This book is not for those who are completely satisfied with the outcomes, and with current treatment of patients with cancer. It covers many non-traditional forms of treatment, from weird diets to vitamins and immunotherapy, and suggests their addition to more conventional treatment, not as a substitute. It is rich in consideration of psychological elements in the course of cancer, and it is full of information for those who want to seek their own input into their own life, illness, feelings, and treatment.

The diagnosis of cancer too often brings with it a sense of limited freedom, choice, and possibility. What a refreshing and powerful antidote Choices in Healing is for any patient and their family facing cancer. By reviewing both conventional and unconventional approaches to cancer in an even-handed and open-minded manner, the book offers many reasons for cautious optimism in cancer treatment without fanning the flames of false hope. The book is a unique compendium, a valuable service for both patients and practitioners.

Here we have a truly remarkable book. Unlike anything in thealternative literature, Choices in Healing gives ascrupulously nonjudgemental review of the world of alternativetreatments for cancer. Michael Lerner is a talented, scientifically astute and well-educated individual...His compilation of both orthodox and alternative approaches to cancer is superb...This is essential reading.

A bridge that many skeptics can at least approach. The text is both critical and hopeful toward both conventional and complementary methods of therapy. Physicans will certainly find this book, with its in-depth index and extensive appendixed resource guide, the best single available source if they are willing to explore this area.

I urge anyone dealing with cancer to read Michael Lerner's excellent book.
