Synopsis

In this remarkable book, one of the nation's top oncologists presents sixteen powerfully inspirational stories of his patients, whose battles with cancer, AIDS and other devastating illnesses formed the basis for a unique 28-day meditation program that has helped hundreds face their doubts, find strength and regain inner peace. Through a "guided imagery process" called ESSENCE, an acronym for "Experience, See, Surrender, Empower, Nurture, Create and Embody", the program focuses on healing the mind as well as the body, and is designed to work alongside regular clinical treatments. The complexion of medicine today has changed: -- According to a Harvard Medical School study, 69% of Americans used some form of alternative or complementary medicine in the previous year. -- They spend close to $30 billion annually on alternative therapies. -- Prominent hospitals are incorporating alternative medicine into their clinical practice, or establishing alternative medicine divisions. -- Insurance companies now reimburse customers for such alternative therapies as acupuncture and herbal treatments.
