Cancer Positive: The Role of the Mind in Tackling Cancers Book

This title introduces what may appear to be the rather unconventional method of encouraging an attitude of mind over matter in patients. As a surgeon and medical doctor, James Colthurst is used to employing more traditional methods of treating cancer. In this book, however, he argues that through addressing the emotional needs of patients, and after the processes of diagnosis and treatment, their physical condition can improve dramatically. Dr Colthurst demonstrates that a series of psychological exercises and mental disciplines, as a supplement to more conventional treatment, can improve the physical as well as the mental well-being of patients. The book focuses on lifestyle changes while also addressing the practical side. Drawing on his own experience and case histories, Dr Colthurst explains the medical terms and treatments available, while also providing information needed by cancer sufferers and those close to them.Read More
