Well, the title involves somewhat questions that are answered in the book to help people affected by cancer and the process of chemotherapy treatment. Great review, Christieee. Thanks.

WOW! This sounds like quite a book! To have cancer metastasize to any part of your body, let alone to multiple parts, and survive is nearly unheard of! I lost two sisters to cancer, so I know the debilitating effects of the treatments. Neither of them tried homeopathic treatment, but I wish they had! Maybe this book would have helped them. Bravo to the author for sharing her story! Thank you for the excellent review!

There's a lot of good stuff in this book, and from the selection that I read, I believe it could be very helpful to those being plagued by the horrors of cancer. I'm going to skip it, though, as I've too often shared in the pain caused by cancer in the lives of those around me; this just isn't the right time. But I highly agree with the author that keeping the toxins out of the body is in all of our interest. I hope that Ms. Facciani finds a most appreciative audience and that her story provides comfort and perhaps some direction to those faced with fighting their own personal battles.

I understand the book is inspirational and about positive thinking, but unfortunately, I still will have to skip this one. It is just not my thing to read about such hard topics without getting depressed and with pandemic going on I really tried to avoid any more bad feelings. Congrats with BOTD anyway!

In diseases like cancer all the current medicines mostly have side effects that are just as harmful of the cancer itself. In this case natural medicine is very encouraged and successful as it is seen.

Cancer is a big monster that eats out many people and their loved ones.
The book is a ray of hope and shows path to many patients who are suffering from this physical and mental trauma.
The review is great.
Congratulations on Botd🎉

Seems like a good life story. As the reviewer mentioned, would be a good wake-up call. Unfortunately, I know I wouldn't be able to handle reading this.

Excellent and inspiring review for this book. There are so many things to like about Kaiulani's story. I felt that Kaiulani Facciani has a very honest approach in her writing and provides a lot of information along with her sources. I found the inspirational quotes, humor uplifting and liked the way she separated the book into segments, what she did, why, and what she still does today.

The author sounds like a very strong and unique woman. It's wonderful she decided to share her experience and research, and I hope that her book will help many cancer patients.

I recently lost my mother to stage Iv breast cancer. She was a big proponent of natural medicine, but I guess she didn’t get the right treatment for her. I will read this lady’s story when I feel up to it.

I don't know if this eclectic protocol would work for all cancer patients, but it is empowering, as you mention, to take control of our own health and not let traditional doctors have total control over our bodies.
I'm glad this book changed your perspective, and it talks about the talent of the author.
Thank you for an excellent review!
