A breakthrough guide for cancer patients on using the mind to treat the body, from a pioneer in
complementary medicine
Recent research has shown that the mind can make a tremendous difference in not only the daily experience of living with cancer but also in the potential for overcoming it.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Martin L. Rossman-hailed as "one of the greatest healers of our generation" by Rachel Naomi Remen-shows cancer patients how to use imagery in specific ways that can help them in their fight against cancer.
Imagery is a natural, efficient way of storing and processing information, and one that has powerful effects on both emotional states and physiology. And while imagery is not a substitute for medical, surgical, or other physical approaches to cancer therapy, scientific studies have proven that it complements and enhances those treatments in many important ways. In this first book of its kind, Rossman provides specific ways to use imaging in fighting cancer.
Praise for Guided Imagery for Self-Healing:

From the Inside Flap
Fighting Cancer from Within
"I recommend mind/body medicine to almost all cancer patients I see. This very readable book tells you why that approach is so important and gives you the practical information you need to use your mind to access the healing power within. If you or a loved one has cancer, read it -- it can be a great help."
-- Andrew Weil
""Dr. Rossman reminds us that we all possess the spirit and strength to regain control when cancer takes over our lives. His creativity and experience over the years are on full display in Fighting Cancer from Within, a bright and useful synthesis of imagery and other tools that can restore harmony and set the compass for smooth sailing in rough seas."
-- Debu Tripathy
"From one of America's pioneers in holistic medicine comes a book that approaches cancer from a comprehensive, body-mind-spirit perspective. No one who is dealing with cancer can afford to neglect any of these dimensions. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, this book is vital."
--Larry Dossey, MD., Author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words
"Fighting Cancer from Within is iluminating, practical, and deeply reassuring. Dr. Rossman is a beautiful teacher and a wise healer."
-- James S. Gordon
