This is EMPOWERMENT!, February 28, 2002
I have cancer. I was told by my medical practitioners that my cancer was beyond their treatments - full body bone marrow involvement, etc. This was SEVEN YEARS AGO (1995). I relate this only as a statement of my "credentials" to offer this opinion to those who may have recently been handed the "medical Whammy" (a term coined by Andrew Weil, M.D.) of a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis. I do not credit Louise Hay's work with my current health; I only recently was gifted with a copy of this tape, which reinforces conclusions drawn from my own experience and personal journey. Louise Hay does not offer "miracle cures," she offers HEALING concepts. She most emphatically DOES NOT place BLAME for an illness of any kind on the person with the illness, or their parents!!! Quite the opposite, which she clearly states on this tape, repeatedly. Nor does she pretend to have all the answers, or suggest anyone discard the counsel of their medical professionals. What she DOES do is provide a wonderful collection of affirmations for personal empowerment - a course of action that enables one to regain some measure of control over their life - which, as anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis can tell you, is the first thing to go! If you are looking for a cure - something done to you from outside - then you will not find it here. (Of course not! Our cultural fear of cancer is rooted in its medical status as "incurable.") If, however, you are seeking help in HEALING - that which originates within - and you are ready to assume responsibility for your own life and become an active partner with your physicians in regaining your health, then I believe you will find much inspiration and positive energy in the loving words of Louise Hay, who has faced her own cancer, put her "philosophy" to the ultimate test, and triumphed.

Great Attitude Changer!, April 21, 2008
This review is from: Cancer (Audio CD)
I will be a 20 year cancer survivor in remission this Nov. '08.
My mom had gotten me this in cassette tape in '88 when I was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 15. The docs. gave me 6 months to live then.
At the time of finding out about the cancer and the life expectancy I had gone into a depression.
My parents gave me this cassette and told me to listen to it everyday. I even went to sleep with this playing.
After 3-4 weeks my attitude changed and I felt more positive and just felt good inside.
I do feel this had helped me recover. Attitude is part of the battle. If you don't care or too depressed you won't fight the disease.
Her soothing voice helped me sleep at night along with the music in the background.
I'm ordering a copy on cd to replace my cassette. I highly recommend this to anyone that is sick.

How much credit do you give (unsigned) SCARE TACTICS?, February 28, 2002
Let's get a little perspective here... CHEMOTHERAPY has PROVEN dangerous side effects! Louise Hay presents ideas that may or may not change your way of looking at life, but I think anyone with enough intelligence to be reading this is able to listen to new ideas without being "potentially damaged." My apologies if this is more vehement than the average customer review, but frankly I have had it up to HERE with the idea that because a person has cancer they are vulnerable to "damage" by listening to the experiences and ideas of people other than the members of the AMA. Listen to and read everything you can get your hands on and consider ALL viewpoints. Louise Hay's tape is an excellent place to start.
