Synopsis

For more than three decades, Tom Monte has been a leading writer, teacher, and counselor

within the natural healing community. As a national best-selling author, he has helped bring to

the public s attention the work of many cutting-edge doctors, medical researchers, and scientists.

As a teacher and counselor in the use of natural healing methods, he has worked with thousands

of individuals and families who were seeking to overcome serious illnesses or other life-altering

crises. During the course of his work, he has witnessed and written about many miraculous

recoveries. As inscrutable as these recoveries may have seemed, Tom began to recognize common

factors among those who overcame serious illness. Based on medical research, the insightful

work of others, his own work, and the experiences of patients who managed to reverse their

own devastating health conditions, Tom has written an inspiring guide for those who suffer from

chronic or life-threatening illness.

""Unexpected Recoveries ""

is the culmination of a lifetime of work

designed to offer hope, purpose, and most important a proactive plan.

This book combines modern medical know-how, ancient healing practices, and a healing diet to

provide a comprehensive and practical guidebook for physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery.

It takes aim at such conditions as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, chronic pain, Crohn s

disease, degenerative bone conditions, and more. Readers are provided with a seven-step program

to help them on their journey of healing, with each and every step designed to be flexible. Factors

such as mental attitude, lifestyle, diet, and exercise are discussed in an informative and easy-to-read

manner. Along this journey, readers are introduced to twelve people who have recovered from

incurable illness. Also included are a helpful resource section, a twenty-one-day menu planner,

and over sixty kitchen-tested recipes.

When a doctor tells a patient there is no cure, what the doctor is essentially saying is that there

is no treatment proven to eliminate the condition. This doesn t mean that healing isn t possible.

If you or a loved one is suffering from a severe illness,

""Unexpected Recoveries ""

can be a powerful

tool to change the course of that condition."

A Note to Caregivers

Each of us is plunged into his or her own private crisis whenever a loved one or dear friend is stricken with a serious illness. Driven by love, fear, and an overwhelming desire to help, caregivers will often spring into action, forgetting their own needs and limitations. Despite the best of intentions, a caregiver’s self-sacrifice can to lead to exhaustion, anger, and conflict—not to mention poor health.

If you are a caregiver to someone who is ill, please consider adopting your own version of the seven steps described in this book. They can help you find rest so that you may have the strength to live more fully; care so that you can go on providing care; love so that you can go on loving; faith so that you can sustain hope; and strength of purpose so that you can find meaning in the challenges you are facing. Giving cannot be sustained without balance, meaning that those who give must also receive, and those who serve must also be served. Balance is the foundation of health and the consequence of love.

Please consider participating with your loved one as he or she utilizes the seven steps to restore his or her health by adopting your own version of this healing program. The program can be yet another act of love—a gift you give to your loved one as well as to yourself.

Acknowledgments

This book is the culmination of more than thirty years of writing about health and healing. Although it would be impossible to thank all the people who contributed to my understanding of these infinite mysteries, I would like to mention a handful of individuals.

I would like to express my overflowing gratitude to my great mentors, Michio and Aveline Kushi, and Nathan and Ilene Pritikin, who gave me a foundation for understanding health and healing from both the Eastern and Western perspectives. Still under-appreciated, these four great teachers have provided countless millions of people with a path for better health and personal transformation.

I would like to thank some of my friends and teachers who have contributed to my work over the years, including Luc DeCuyper, Denny Waxman, Michael Rossoff, Bill Tims, Robert Pritikin, Mary Burmeister, Herman and Cornelia Aihara, Wim Mestdagh, John McDougall, Michael Jacobson, and Anthony Sattilaro.

My gratitude goes out to the many hundreds of people who have shared their stories of recovery with me over the past thirty-plus years, and the healers with whom I have worked. Not all of you appear in this book, but all of you contributed to it.

My sincerest thanks go out to Ken and Sherry Courage, Peter and Maryla Wallace, and Phiya Kushi, who also supported this work. I would like to thank my wonderful friend and publisher, Rudy Shur; my editor, Michael Weatherhead; and the rest of the team at Square One Publishers for their tremendous talent, dedication, and commitment to releasing this book.

Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Toby, who wrote the recipes and menus for this book, and who has acted as the foundation of health and happiness for me and our entire family for forty years.
