Radical Remission, Surviving Cancer Against All Odds
By Dr. Kelly A. Turner

Date Review Posted:
Authors:  Dr. Kelly A. Turner
Release Date:  2014
Web Site:  www.RadicalRemission.com     

  CCCCC  (A case could be made that I would only review the best of the best because if while reading a book it does not hold my interest, I would not finish it and therefore would not review it.)

Format:  This is a combination research book, personal instruction book, and a very interesting series of stories by people who have experienced a "radical remission" from life threatening cancers.

Reason For Reading THIS book:  I saw an interview on one of the morning talk shows where they interviewed Dr. Turner and she was fascinating.  I was compelled to read the book even though I do not have cancer, at least that I know about.  I have no regrets whatsoever for reading the book and highly recommend it to others to read.

Number Of Times I Have Read This Book:  Only once but I can guarantee you that I will use the book as a source of information.

Brief Summary of Content:   The following is a list of the 9 Chapters in the book that relate to the top 9 tactics out of more than 74 such tactics that almost all of the people identified in the book with their stories used to help heal them of cancer.  The personal stories are mesmerizing.  The 9 Chapters are:

Chapter 1:  Radically Changing Your Diet.  This one really struck home and I started adopting some of the suggestions immediately like reducing my intake of dairy products, white breads, red meats, etc.  "Let food be thy medicine and medicine by thy food.  Hippocrates.  The majority of the people studied all tended to make the same four dietary changes where were, (1) greatly reducing or eliminating sugar, eat, dairy and refined foods, (2) greatly increasing vegetable and fruit intake, (3) eating organic foods, and, (4) drinking filtered water.

Chapter 2:  Taking Control of Your Health.  "Action is the foundational key to all success."  Pablo Picasso.  I don't want to reduce this chapter to just one or two sentences because it cannot be done.  Patients realized that taking control of your healing is not only considered good but essential for the healing process.  Taking control in this regards means not to just accept the bad news of a diagnosis but to rather research ALL methods of healing considering both the conventional (Western) type treatments as well as alternative methods as well the top nine such methods are discussed in this book.

Chapter 3:  Following Your Intuition.  "In vital matters, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves."  Sigmund Freud  This chapter is about what it would suggest it is about.  We oftentimes "feel" something.  Some people ignore these feelings while others act upon them.  The descriptions and case study in this Chapter hopefully will open your mind to be more aware of your "gut feeling" or "intuition."

Chapter 4:  Using Herbs and Supplements.  "The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician."  Paracelsus, Sixteenth Century Physician.  I  personally found this chapter very fascinating and the stories are nothing short of unbelievable.  While the specific herbs and supplements are not identified there are reading references at the end of the book that do.  In America the use of "herbs and supplements" is oftentimes debunked but in this Chapter there are numerous stories of people who have used herbs and supplements to help effect their cure of cancers.

Chapter 5:  Releasing Suppressed Emotions.  "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel (body) in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."  Mark Twain.  Great Chapter.  It describes the effect that past angers have on the body and its ability to ward off sickness.  The Chapter provides stories of just how some patients use this methods to help heal themselves from various cancers.

Chapter 6:  Increasing Positive Emotions.  "The purpose of our lives is to be happy."  His Holiness The Fourteenth Dalai Lama.  This Chapter delves into the need to set your proper mindset every day, one that focuses on gratitude and thankfulness for everything positive in your life and why that attitude needs to be improved upon every day.  The Chapter identifies patients who used this method, including laughter, to help cure their various cancers.

Chapter 7:  Embracing Social Support.  "In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge."  Aristotle.  this is exactly what it suggests - the importance of having loving friends and giving love yourself. 

Chapter 8:  Deepening Your Spiritual Connection.  "The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated."  Plato.  I found this Chapter the most interesting of all.  The stores of healing are simply miracles in action and they need to be read.

Chapter 9:  Having Strong Reasons For Living.  "I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."    This too is exactly what it suggests.  People tend to live longer when they identify their specific reason as to why they want to live.

Who Should Read the Book?    Everyone.  We all know someone who has cancer and this book may be their life-line to healing. 


Final Test:  Would I read the book again?  YES.  Would I give the book as a gift?  Absolutely.
