indeed, I feel we would all learn a thing or two from this piece written by a two-time cancer survivor. It could serve as a spark of hope for cancer patients and help people live healthier lives in general. Congratulations on BOTD.

This is a very inviting review. Great job in discussing how this book applies to those without cancer as well.

Although focused on the effects in the form of cancer, it looks like this book is good for anyone that is concerned with the toxicity that can be found in our environment and in our bodies.

The title and cover of the book is intriguing. I appreciate the strength and resilience of Kaiulani in fighting cancer through both western and naturopathic ways. Cancer is a difficult diagnosis and I believe this book will go a long way in helping those directly and indirectly affected by the disease. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The author is a survivor and her story, inspiring. Though I'm not a cancer patient, I believe this book is encouraging and educational to cancer patients and non-cancer patients. Congrats on BOTD and Kudos to the author!

The author seems to be an amazing woman, with both strength of spirit and generosity of heart. We will benefit from her inspiration. Let's not let the wolf eat us.

The author did a phenomenal job. I love that she through her own story taught the reader that the good state of one's mind while ill aids the healing process. I love that she taught hope in despair.

Great review.

It is always inspiring to hear about people who have beaten cancer. Alternative therapies are having great success over chemotherapy, and this author's experience motivates other cancer patients to have hope and never give up. Thanks for the recommendation!

This book is an emotional path for me, I recently lost a loved one to Cancer. I can well relate to the authors battles, but who miraculously survived. This is a must read for me. Congrats on botd. Thanks for great review.

I don't like reading non-fiction, especially the kind telling tales concerning possibly terminal illness. Fighting against cancer may inspire some people, but I can't and won't open this book. I am too emphatic to stay calm about it. No offense, but I will have to pass this book, although congratulations on BOTD are well deserved!

This sure sounds great and I have no doubt it comes with load of lessons to take home. I would love to give a go at it. Thank you. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Sounds like a very inspirational book with important information to share. I agree that even those of us that have not had cancer can still benefit from taking steps now to live a healthier lifestyle.
