Description

YOU CAN CONQUER CANCER was a revolutionary book when first published in 1984. It has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into fourteen languages. It has become a classic and one of the most widely read books on the subject of cancer management and survival. This edition is completely updated. It contains whole sections which provide important new information and self-help techniques. The book, remarkable for its clarity, enlarges upon what is truly integrated, holistic approach to cancer - emphasising nutrition, the power of the mind, meditation, family and social support and the spiritual dimension of life. Dr. Ian Gawler, as a young veterinarian and decathlon athlete, had his right leg amputated because of bone cancer in 1975. The cancer returned later that year. Against almost impossible odds, he recovered and went on to found Australia's first life-style based, cancer self-help and support programme in 1981. "What Ian Gawler discovered through experience, science is now proving. There is hope for people with life-threatening cancer, and this book is where to find it." George Jelinek Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Western Australia
