Goodman - Cancer hacks : a holistic guide to overcoming your fears and healing cancer : plus a 7-day healing cleanse

If you are reading this book, it might be because you were just diagnosed with cancer, or you are in remission, or maybe someone you love has cancer, or maybe you are scared you are going to get cancer. If you are reading this book, chances are you do not know me personally; maybe you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter; or have read my Cancer Free Life blog or participated in one of my Los Angeles cleanse programs.

Today, as I write this, I am 55 years old. I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life. I have endured a cancer battle of my own, as well as losing my husband to cancer. I might not know you or your journey, but I know cancer and I know how significant my own journey with cancer was and is in my life.

Sometimes I wonder why I won my cancer battle but my husband did not. After decades of exploring this, I think it comes down to one major thing: at my core, instinctively, I knew I could and I would beat this. My husband, Marc, couldnt find the same confidence. He was frightened and only heard his doctors tell him he might not beat the disease.

I did not write this book to give you a list of ten things that you can do and then check off and then BAM! cancer is out of your life. That is unfortunately not how it works. There is no magic pill and there is not enough green juice in the world to wash away cancer. Which is scary and I get that.

I flew into a tailspin when I got diagnosed. It felt like I had been beaten down my whole life and this was just the culmination of all those beatings. It is not my personality to take charge and fix things. I like to be taken care of; I like to find experts and have them tell me what to do. It is easier that way, right? And they must know the best plan if they are the experts, dont they?

I am here to tell you that the answer to those questions is NO. So, if I am the expert you are coming to, do not just take what I say as the only path to follow. I am here to be a guide, to share my emotional journey as well as the extensive research and my real-life experiences to help you in your battle with the wretched disease weve both faced. I hope some things in my book will speak to you, and I hope you will feel connected to some of the stories I share.

With that said, the thing I want you to take away from this book is that YOU are in control. And more than that, YOU have the ability to know how to heal. My clients and my kids can all tell you that if I preach anything, its to trust your gut. Something in this book will hit home for you. Hopefully, it will be more than one thing. You will connect with what you need. Trust thatthere is a reason that its speaking to you. Cancer changed a lot of things in my life, but most significantly it empowered me to take care of me.

In the years I have spent since my own cancer diagnosis helping others in similar situations, it feels as though the cycle of healing has been completed. If you had told me, when I was 32, sitting in that doctors office hearing that diagnosis and scared out of my mind, that I would not only overcome cancer, but one day would help others overcome it as well, I would have never believed you.

With this book, I extend the healing cycle to you. May you understand that everyone in your shoes has at one point felt alone, scared, and powerless. But may you learn that you are not alone; you can face your fears and regain your power. That is what these hacks areways to put you back in the drivers seat. Yes, something foreign and scary has taken over your body. But it is still your body and it is yours to be loved and cared for and healed.

Lets do it together.
