When Eileen was diagnosed as having terminal cancer and given only months to live, she took the conventional route of chemotherapy. However, when it left her feeling worse she followed a friend's advice and saw a hypnotherapist. This was the turning point. Memories repressed since childhood were freed giving her the will to carry on, and this, along with an intensive Gerson detoxification treatment, eventually led her on the road to remission.
Cancer is one of humanity's most feared scourges.
The merest mention of the name is enough to provoke a sense of foreboding in many. Yet the story of Eileen's fight is one of hope, inspiration and self-discovery. As our understanding of the relationship between mind, body and spirirt grows, our attitudes towards cancer are changing, with more and more people taking increased responsibility for their treatment. This is a moving and positive tale of the holistic approach in the fight against cancer, which also asks questions about the wider issues connected with the disease and other serious illnesses. It will be an inspiration to all those whose lives are touched by cancer, whether they be patients, carers, family or friends.
