‘Sophie was diagnosed with late stage ‘incurable’ lung cancer and embarked on an amazing journey of healing. The book covers her relationship with cancer, fear, guilt, her research, diet and more. I particularly loved the idea of ‘cancer whispering’; instead of going to war with cancer we can learn from it and choose our own response to it.’ Philip Booth, Wigwam Coordinator
‘I love this book and have returned to it many times but my friend living with cancer didn’t get on with it at all. It is a hugely personal story but is packed full of thoughtful reflection that I found so powerful in my own journey.’ P.D, Wigwam member
“By turning her attention towards the hitherto ignored group dismissed as ’spontaneous remissions’, Kelly Turner has distilled the essence of survivor strategies that have actually worked, often in the face of hopeless odds. The information and stories she has to share make this a handbook for survival and a source of reasonable hope for many who others have encouraged to let theirs slip away” Robin Daly, Chair and Founder, Yes to Life
‘I loved this book as it is basically low or no cost stuff we need to do. Sometimes it feels easier to take a supplement or go for a treatment but this book is all about the basic areas to which we need to pay attention like exercise, nutrition, stress and sleep.’ Abi, Wigwam member
’As the author writes this book looks at ‘integrating the best that medical science has to offer with a comprehensive, holistic approach that supports your body through whatever treatment you choose’. I found it a great resource to think about other options re treatment abroad and a great overview of juicing, lifestyles, toxin avoidance, nutrition, supplements and finance.’ J.T, Wigwam member
‘So for newly diagnosed – The Cancer Revolution’ Sue De Cesare.
‘I love Chris’s can-do approach and also his regular videos which include in depth inspiring interviews with cancer survivors about their approaches’ Claire T, Wigwam supporter
“Getting lifestyle information and advice from a senior UK oncologist may be exactly what is needed to give someone the confidence to take the first steps beyond the conventional medical thinking that maintains there is nothing a patient can do to improve their prospects” Robin Daly, Chair and Founder of Yes to Life
“Dr Keith Block established many of the principles and some of the science behind Integrative Oncology, starting in the 1980’s, and his book Life Over Cancer documents his enormous passion both for science and for the wellbeing of his patients. A deeply satisfying and comprehensive read, it comes across as very contemporary even though it was written almost a decade ago.” Robin Daly.
‘This woman knows her stuff! It is full of wonderful insights and a wonderful helpful way to view our healing journey – but it is for ‘keto people’ which may not be good for everyone’. J.T, Wigwam member
“Dr Nasha Winters is one one of the great minds pushing the frontiers of Integrative Oncology with a passion that is borne of her personal experience of cancer, and the revelation to her of the power of natural and lifestyle medicine to provide her with a route back to health. Her enormous appetite for knowledge and passion for improving the lot of those with cancer are unforgettable”. Robin Daly, Chair and Founder of Yes to Life
‘The Cancer Survivor’s Companion aims to help people with the physical, emotional and psychological affects of having had a cancer diagnosis. It is written in a clear and empathetic style and covers: Worries; Depression and low mood; Anger; Self-esteem and body image; Relationships and sex; Fatigue; Sleep; and Relaxation. The writers use real-life examples, easy-to-follow strategies and tips to deal with these issues’. Andrea,
‘This approach is complicated and I needed to read the book several times – the more I learn the more it makes sense to me, the more this feels the right way for me. I’ve used the online support groups and now have a Functional Medicine practitioner to help me – but it is not cheap!’ Kathy, Wigwam member
