5.0 out of 5 stars Give this to every Cancer patient you know!, July 2, 2000

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer I sent her just about every book I could find on cancer survival, inspiration and the like. But when I stumbled onto this set, 2 tapes and a book, without listening or reading it, I sent it on. One week later she called me and told me that this set had helped her more than any other single book or tape out there. Most importantly it helped her deal with her fear, set her priorities for healing strategies in order, gave her a concrete meditation for invisioning the actual immune system, and discussed indentifing her passions and dreams, as they would help her survive, and much more. She followed the advice absolutly, started horse back riding again (her passion) and lived another 8 years, when she had been told only 6 months. Thankyou Dr. Simmington, for the quality time you gave my family, and the peace you gave my sister.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "MUST" for anyone with cancer !, April 14, 1999

I purchased the cassette tape of the book "Getting Well"...I've done MUCH research on cancer and alternative medicine, as it has been quite clear that the typical medical therapies alone are not usually enough to combat this monster. I found this book/cassette to be excellent and, further, the ideas expressed by Dr. Simmonton are what I consider one of the neccessary steps towards healing from cancer. I had previously seen the video called "Getting Well Again", which was very good, and this tape "Getting Well", is absolutely great. I'm grateful to Dr. Simmonton for seeing and sharing with us the importance of treating cancer in a more complete way. As an Oncologist and a human, his knowledge and dedication are admirable. Thank you!

I read this book some years ago and it was very profitable, my father was ill not a cancer but the doctors feared it and the approach of the ill person in the book help me and my sister to understand the disease and our father behaviour a lot. We accepted that our father told us that his body was painful and that he was going to death. It was one his fear. It is one of the first time i saw him crying before us without hidden it to my sister and I. He is well now, despite of a prostate cancer some year ago but after. Thanks very much. I would appreciate that you inform me about your next meetings in France and in Europe. I met M. Carl Simonton some years ago in a meeting, and it was for me a great great moment. Thanks a lot for all the work you are doing, for the hope you give to everybody in pain, for your way of thinking, your honesty and your sense of humour
