Dan Kenner - The Whole-Body Workbook for Cancer: A Complete Integrative Program for Increasing Immunity and Rebuilding Health

This workbook wouldnt have been possible without support from my wife, Corinne, and son, Daniel; thank you for your patience and encouragement. I am also grateful to several researchers and health care practitioners, whose dedication inspires me and whose sharing of experience and willingness to engage in dialogue have been a source of great value: Michael Broffman, OMD; Nancy Carroll, L.Ac.; Robert Felt; Helmut Keller, MD; Jean-Claude Lapraz, MD; Michael Lipelt, DDS, ND; Michael McCulloch, Ph.D.; Buxiang Sun, MD; and Dale White, L.Ac. The editorial support and advice of the staff of New Harbinger Publications has been a key element in organizing and structuring the contents of this book.
