Review

-- John M. Merrill, M.D., "Journal of the American Medical Association"

" I urge anyone dealing with cancer to read Michael Lerner's excellent book." --Andrew Weil, M.D., author of "Spontaneous Healing"and "Natural Health, Natural Medicine," and many other books.

" A bridge that many skeptics can at least approach. The text is both critical and hopeful toward both conventional and complementary methods of therapy. Physicans will certainly find this book, with its in-depth index and extensive appendixed resource guide, the best single available source if they are willing to explore this area." -- John M. Merrill, M.D., "Journal of the American Medical Association"

" Here we have a truly remarkable book. Unlike anything in the alternative literature, "Choices in Healing" gives a scrupulously nonjudgemental review of the world of alternative treatments for cancer. Michael Lerner is a talented, scientifically astute and well-educated individual.... His compilation of both orthodox and alternative approaches to cancer is superb.... This is essential reading." -- Karol Sikora, "New Scientist"
