Rating:  Summary: Comprehensive Review: Dr. Simon has shared insights into healing that take into account the coventional and integrative approaches to healthcare. He reminds us that we have entered into a phase of medicine that needs to consider a person's conscious awareness of health, so the appropriate modalities of care can be administered. David Simon utilizes eastern and western knowledge to make his work thorough and comprehensive. He takes into account the need for practicioners to be sensetive to the direction(s) a patient finds meaningful in their movement toward wholeness. This emphasis on consciousness incorporated in healthcare is a movement toward modern medicine paralleling the evolution of our time.

Rating:  Summary: Required reading for anyone touched by cancer. Review: Dr. Simon's book addresses many of the issues that are so often not dealt with by modern conventional cancer treatment centers. Too often cancer patient feel as if their real needs are not being met by doctors and hospitals. Dr. Simon focuses on treating the person, not just the diseasse. His books creates an entirely new perspective for the cancer patient by simply remembering that they are a person. He addresses the emotional issues cancer patients face as well as treatments for common side effects caused by conventional treatment. His advice on nutrition, sensory tools for healing, and assessing alternative treatment modalities is easily succint, but very insightful. Futthermore, his five day seminar lets you explore these issues much deeper. Realizing that I am much more than the sum of my phsyical parts is an important gift that Dr. Simon has helped to give me.

Rating:  Summary: Easy to understand, empathetic approach to cancer treatment. Review: Simon removes the horrible veil of mystery that shrouds cancer victims and their loved ones, by writing in the language of the common person. However, the reader is also struck, if not comforted, by the obvious thoroughness of Simon's reseach and his absolute grasp of the modern understanding of cancer treatment. Simon displays an empathy in his approach that can only be derived from years of internal struggle over the percieved helplessness of his patients who are seeking one last chance. This may be that opportunity for millions.

It reads easily and resonates with truth, leaving a profound impact. I recently returned from a week seminar with Dr. David Simon at the Deepak Chopra Wellness Institute in La Jolla,CA. My personal experience was transformational. I not only walked away with concrete, tangible tools to work with my cancer, I also deepened my relationship with myself and was taught many loving ways to embrace and empower myself through this difficult time in my life. The nurturing environment was so safe and invitational to self-discovery of each individuals particular experience with cancer.
