5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Inspiring story. Couldn't put it down., December 14, 1998

By A Customer

I read this book as a favor to Elaine's neice. It took me two hours and I couldn't put it down. I met Elaine. She is a spunky and vivacious woman whom I can't believe was on the doors of death just a few short years ago. Her tale of strength and personal power is a lesson to us all. Her desciption of alternative medicine is easy to understand and is a guideline for anyone conisdering an alternative medical lifestyle. It is more than the power of the mind. I have given this book to many people whom I know have been afflicted or have family members that have cancer. It is an inspirational story that even those that are healthy can learn from.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, revealing, inspiring book., December 9, 1997

By	[e-mail] (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

The story of one woman's struggle with cancer and how macrobiotics helped her to cure it. This book was so inspiring that I bought 25 copies to give to friends over the years, and every single person said they loved it. The book provides information which can give hope for anyone struggling with serious illness.

Great book, great story! I followed what Elaine did for my cancer (stage 3 esophageal) and I am doing wonderfully today almost 2 years since my diagnosis. This book is very well written.
