Product Description
Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day--patients who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery. "Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and get this amazing book that explains how you can 'think' yourself sick or well...Every family should have a copy. It can be a lifesaver."
--Ann Landers

 The Best Book
There is little I can say that hasn't been said. This is a wonderful book. I've given it to many friends and friends of friends who were facing serious illness. All of them have gone out of their way to thank me and commented on how helpful they found the book. The author neither says nor implies that illness is someone's *fault.* He merely talks about the psychological part of fighting illness. There is no blame in illness or in its outcome.

If you or anyone you know is ever sick...
As a medical student, this book couldn't have arrived at a better time! While I agree with some of the more negative reviews that this might encourage someone with chronic illness to feel like they/their attitudes "caused the disease" on their own, this book can also be mind-opening. If we all looked as disease as merely an unmet need manifesting itself, we would treat ourselves much differently. Our illnesses might not always require a chemical drug to mask the needs that are weakening us in the first place. I am encouraging my classmates to read this and see for themselves how deciding "I don't need this _______________ in my life" can change their well-being as it did mine!

Heal thyself
I bought this book and a few tapes by Bernie Siegel when I had cancer about 18 years ago. I found the book to be right on the money. I have since given this book to many of my friends and associates over the years who were diagnosed with cancer.

 You Must Read This If You Have Cancer or Know Anyone Who Does
You Must Read This If You Have Cancer or Know Anyone Who Does... I titled this review with those words becuase I believe that statement to be as simple a truth I can make it. The book offers a powerful insight into the cause and treatment of cancer from one of the worlds leading authorities, as well as accounting his own journey to that understanding. The wisdom from the author is profound as it discuses both the medical understanding and approach to cancer as well as the humanistic and natural approach of mind-body medicine. It offers more than hope, it offers a true solution to those who have been diagnosed with cancer. Read it - it's as simple as that!

The perfect gift for people you love when they're diagnosed with Cander.
12+ years ago when my surgeon told me I had breast cancer (my second bout with cancer), she gave me this book. Not only did it help me develop, sustain and exude a positive attitude during my entire treatment phase, but it made me a touchstone for anyone else who was diagnosed with cancer and contacted me. Since that time, whenever someone that is near and dear to me, someone that I truly love and want to do something positive for when they are diagnosed with cancer, I give them a copy of this book. Not one of them has died to date. My most recent gift of the book has been to my husband and he is visibly changing his attitude as he reads it.
