The Breast Stays Put: No Chemo-No Radiation-No Lumpectomy-No Thank You [Paperback]

Pamela Hoeppner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 30, 2008

After running her own successful business in Wellness Alternatives, Pamela Hoeppner faced the unthinkable. She was diagnosed with a malignant, fast-growing breast cancer. Pam declined all conventional treatment and chose an alternative approach with an impressive track record instead, which resulted in her full recovery. Convinced that mutilation and toxic treatments are not always necessary she wanted others to know there ARE options that don't involve devastating a person's body and their quality of life. In her inspiring book, The Breast Stays Put, with a delivery all her own, she shares her courageous story of overcoming a deadly diagnosis, and provides prevention and treatment information through her informative website www.TheBreastStaysPut.com. A wonderfully written first-hand account of how one woman overcame her life-threatening diagnosis of cancer using only alternative medicine. A must read for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, but I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about treating cancer with alternative therapies. David Brownstein, MD, Author of Drugs That Don't Work and Natural Therapies That Do All too often people are frightened into a medical or surgical course of action, when what they really need is encouragement to take control of their own health and path to wellness. Pam's story is a testimony to the benefits of doing just that. The Breast Stays Put is a beacon of hope that everyone facing serious illness should read. Bridget Houston, ND NHE Hoeppner has achieved something few writers can. She has turned a serious, scary subject into a fun read while presenting important life-saving information at the same time. I particularly enjoyed her unique brand of humor and her gutsy words of wisdom that can't help but infuse the reader with courage. Tanya Harter Pierce, MA, MFCC, Author of Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work

5.0 out of 5 stars A GROUNDBREAKING BOOK!, March 4, 2008

By 

Tanya Harter Pierce "Outsmart Your Cancer" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Breast Stays Put: No Chemo-No Radiation-No Lumpectomy-No Thank You (Paperback)

In THE BREAST STAYS PUT: No Chemo -- No Radiation -- No Lumpectomy -- No Thank You, Pam Hoeppner tells her story of going against the grain of conventional cancer treatment. After a needle biopsy proved the lump in her breast to be an extremely aggressive estrogen-positive malignant cancer, Pam said NO to her doctor's urgent recommendation of immediate surgery followed by chemotherapy. She kept her breast intact and went on to cure herself using a single alternative non-toxic treatment instead.

It is not easy to turn a subject like battling cancer into a fun read, but this author has done just that. As is evident from the title, Hoeppner chooses to present her story with humor. She organizes the book with insightfully funny chapter titles and subtitles like "I'm All Out of Cute," "Honey I Just Fired the Osha-cologist," and "Talk to the Breast - The Boob's Not Listening." Though she never mocks the seriousness of cancer, her writing style helps take the edge off the fear that so often accompanies this dreaded disease. She also never says "This is the way YOU should do it." Her message is simply, "I beat my cancer diagnosis without losing my breast, my hair, or even a single healthy cell in my body . . . and if you want to know more, this is how I did it."

Two things make this a groundbreaking book:

(1) This is one of very few books in existence describing the successful recovery from breast cancer using NO conventional treatment at all. (Not even a hormone-blocking drug.)

(2) This is the FIRST book written by a cancer survivor about her personal recovery using Protocel. As someone who is very familiar with the Protocel formula, I can attest to the fact that many other women have also cured themselves of breast cancer using this product, and countless people have used it to completely recover from other types of cancer as well. Hoeppner even presents other Protocel recovery stories on her website www.TheBreastStaysPut.com. I think potential readers will be comforted to know that this was NOT a shot-in-the-dark type of approach that just happened to work for Pam. Her book is groundbreaking, however, as the first book to document a Protocel cancer recovery from beginning to end.

In THE BREAST STAYS PUT, Hoeppner also dispels the myth that alternative approaches to cancer are only focused on fortifying one's immune system so that the body can heal itself. She clearly explains how Protocel actually kills cancer in a unique way. Though National Cancer Institute tests found it to be more effective than chemotherapy, the NCI and FDA chose not to pursue it as a cancer drug in the 1990s. So Protocel was marketed as a dietary supplement and has remained somewhat underground ever since. It is now an important and obtainable option for everyone and, as this author states in her book, knowing about Protocel in advance was her "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

My hat goes off to Pam Hoeppner for presenting her story in a way that will grab the hearts and minds of the public and undoubtedly save many lives. ANYONE considering going against the grain of conventional medical dogma, no matter what approach they choose or whether they are a man or a woman, will find this an inspiring and rewarding book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, Insightful, Incredible, February 25, 2008

By 

Randibeth (Nashville) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Breast Stays Put: No Chemo-No Radiation-No Lumpectomy-No Thank You (Paperback)

I was recently given this book to read by someone close in my life to help understand what they are going through with cancer and their choice for not going with the standard, Western way.

From the first line, Pam Hoeppner grabs your hand and takes you on her incredible journey she has been on. She speaks to you like you're an old friend, and explains in clear detail what she did and how she did it, all the while keeping a brave face. This book not only explores alternative treatment to cancer using Protocel, it also indirectly explores the power of positive thinking.

For anyone out there who has questions to today's modern medicine in treating cancer, this is definitely a book worth reading.

Even if you don't explore alternative therapy, this book is so uplifting for anyone stricken with disease, it will surely give you huge hope.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lumpectomy not such a bad thing vs. living in limbo for months!, May 20, 2009

By 

Laura (Mtn. View, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Breast Stays Put: No Chemo-No Radiation-No Lumpectomy-No Thank You (Paperback)

I give the author credit for following her own path and sharing what she learned with others in as honest a way as she did. However, as a nurse practitioner and cancer patient I want to present a different opinion. I had a breast lump come up (2nd time) so a friend urged me to read this book to talk me out of having the lump removed. Although I appreciated her journey, the book actually put me more at ease at having my lumpectomy. I was home from the procedure before noon. The actual surgery was less than an hour. I healed very nicely. I took 1 pain pill total in all my recovery. All the medical people in my encounter were caring and competent.

Compare this to months of taking Protocel around the clock causing uncomfortable side effects and the UNBELIEVABLE burden of living with the "unknown" of whether the medicine is working and having the lump still be there months and months later! That seems like a more difficult road to me than conventional treatment.

The lump I had removed was cancer. The receptors on this cancer were different from the first one which was very good information to have. This time it is estrogen positive. The treatment recommended for me is to take tamoxifen, one little pill a day. I have no side effects as yet. I think it is wonderful medical research has found a little pill to treat certain types of breast cancer. Yet I'd still consider taking Protocel to clear up any lingering cells.

For me it isn't a me against them mentality. I try to be open to the wonderful advancements that have been made as well as considering methods and treatments from other sources. Whoever and whatever will help I want to be open to but not blindly following someone else's path.

I too get frustrated with the limitations of western medicine but I do not discount the progress they have made in many areas.

We are all very individual and there are many choices to make and it is very overwhelming but ultimately we pick and choose what treatments fit into our beliefs.
