Hendricks, MD LifeLine Press: (Hardcover) ISBN: 0-89526-193-6, 316 pages (April, 2002) - $21.95; (Paperback) ISBN: 0-89526-133-2, 336 pages (October 2003) - $16.95 “Complementary therapies saved my life,” says author Carole O’Toole. Diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 1994, O’Toole was given just 18 months to live. Her battle with cancer subjected her to extensive and grueling regimens of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant. Determined to take an active part in her own healing, she spent the next 7 years exploring and researching more than 25 complementary therapies, from massage and meditation to energy healing, Reiki, and shiatsu. HEALING OUTSIDE THE MARGINS is the result of that effort. This book provides a step-by-step method for sorting through the enormous range of complementary cancer treatments. This is a compassionate, authoritative guide for cancer patients, their families, and loved ones. O’Toole presents practical information on finding and interviewing practitioners, what to expect from a treatment, how it helps, and evaluating whether it’s right for you. You’ll find detailed information on healing therapies such as Acupuncture * Ayurveda * Craniosacral Therapy * Chiropractic * Polarity therapy * Rolfing® * Biofeedback * Imagery * Homeopathy * Meditation * Yoga * Qi gong * Tai chi * Osteopathy * Nutrition Therapy, and many more. Not a book of “miracle” cures, HEALING OUTSIDE THE MARGINS is about making the right choices for your own cancer care. It’s about integrating the treatments your doctor has suggested with new and exciting therapies that have helped millions of cancer survivors. And most importantly, it’s a tool for separating the quackery from the real and effective treatments and programs — and making important choices that will help you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
