Recovery from Cancer or Hope Help and Healing for Eating Disorders

Recovery from Cancer: The Remarkable Story of One Woman's Struggle with Cancer and What She Did to Beat the Odds

Author: Elaine Nussbaum

The words slowly sank in—Mrs. Nussbaum, you have cancer. So began Elaine Nussbaum's very personal struggle with this frightening disease. Despite surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Elaine's cancer spread to her bones and both lungs. Three years after her initial diagnosis, she had had enough of conventional therapies. Elaine stopped all medications and treatments, and began to practice macrobiotics in a last-ditch effort to save her life. Slowly, her condition improved. Steadily, she regained her health. As Elaine recovered from the ravages of cancer, her family drew upon her newly found strength to become whole once again.

Here, then, in Elaine's own words, is her inspiring story of recovery against all odds—from her first days in the hospital, to the agony reflected in the faces of her family, to her eventual triumph.

Elaine's dramatic and very moving story offers hope to cancer patients everywhere—and adds to the growing evidence that macrobiotics can be effective in the treatment of this insidious disease.

Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders: A New Approach to Treating Anorexia, Bulimia, and Overeating

Author: Gregory L Jantz

Eating disorders–including anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive overeating–are among the most painful and difficult illnesses a person can face. Sufferers know firsthand the confusion and agony these illnesses can bring. They also know how it feels to long for hope–and to wonder if victory can ever be achieved.

The truth is, eating disorders affect the whole person. Yet treatments often focus on emotional issues alone. In this powerful book for individuals who suffer from eating disorders and those who love them, Dr. Gregg Jantz fills in the gaps left by traditional treatment programs, tackling not only the emotional, but also the crucial and all-too-often ignored relational, physical, and spiritual dimensions of healing.

Outlining a comprehensive, holistic, and practical approach, Hope, Help, and Healing for Eating Disorders brings spiritual, relational, and physical elements back into the healing process. Described by best-selling author and physician Lendon Smith, author of Feed Your Kids Right, as “the most helpful book on eating disorders there is,” this book will, with God’s help and grace, lead readers out of their bondage to eating disorders and permanently transform lives.
