Cancer is a monster that can silently creep up on you; mine did. After having my surgery to remove the tumorss, I had to have emergency surgery the following day for massive internal bleeding resulting in a blood transfusion. Chemo hurt horribly and I think that the applause for Facciani is well deserved. I definitely will be looking at her approach to cancer. Great review.

Cancer is definitely a beast, and I agree that chemotherapy comes with its own laundry list of potentially fatal consequences. It would be interesting to read about this author’s experiences involving naturopathic approaches to ultimate healing and wellness. 🍃 Thank you for a lovely review!

I applaud the author for what she has been through. Thank you for sharing that she was well versed in the topic she wrote about. As a supporter of natural therapy, I like to read books wherein the author has valid background on the topic. Thanks for your review.

I was told that cancer has no obvious cure. But I feel this book is debunking that notion. Chemotherapy is not just an idea, it's a solution.

This review does a great job of summarizing both the positive and negative points of the book. I agree with the review that this is a positive story that would be of benefit to both cancer patients and individuals wanting to live a healthier lifestyle. I also appreciate the review for pointing out that the book is somewhat repetitive without detracting from its important message. As someone who has battled cancer myself, I am intrigued by the book's story and think the reviewer did a good job building interest in it.

It is truly amazing how fragile the human body is and adaptive at the same time. Fragile in that as long as it is fed the right nutrients it can be strong and fight all the bad stuff; fed the wrong nutrients it adapts to the bad stuff and succumbs to diseases, ultimately dying. The good news is that it is possible to fight all the bad stuff by immersing the body with all the right nutrients so it can live longer in this dimension. I've read that it is not easy, but it is possible. Great review!

Thank you so much for this review. The review opened my eyes to how urgently I need this book. I am really grateful for it. And to the author, I salute your courage. Many people don't believe in the efficacy of natural medicine. I believe this book will throw more light on this subject. A big congratulations to the author.

Thanks for an honest review. This book sounds like it would be beneficial to anyone wanting to be healthier. Helping with cancer and the cancer treatment would be "icing on the cake". Although the author suggested at the beginning of this book that you read her first book before reading this one, it sounds like this one can stand alone.

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.
