Synopsis
The words slowly sank in - 'Mrs Nussbaum, you have cancer.' So began Elaine Nussbaum" very own personal struggle with this frightening disease. Despite surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Elaine's cancer spread to her bones and both lungs. Three years after her initial diagnosis, she had had enough of conventional therapies. Elaine stopped all medications and treatments, and began to practice macrobiotics in a last-ditch effort to save her life. Slowly, her condition improved. Steadily, she regained her health. As Elaine recovered from the ravages of cancer, her family drew upon her new found strength to become whole once again. Here, Elaine's own words, is her inspiring story of recovery against all odds - from her first days in the hospital, to the agony reflected in the faces of her family, to her eventual triumph. Elaine's dramatic and very moving story offers hope to cancer patients everywhere-and adds to the growing evidence that macrobiotics can be effective in the treatment of this insidious disease.
