Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 From the wonderful book, " Cancer As A Turning Point, " by Lawrence LeShan, one of the earliest pioneers of " psychoneuroimmunology " : " Many doctors are so completely oriented to fighting disease and ignoring the sick person that, in catastrophic illness, they often seem to be asking themselves: 'How many heroic measures and mutilating operations can be charged to the patient (or to the insurance company) before death--the final method of consumer resistance--is allowed to intervene?' " The book " Cancer As A Turning Point " is as relevant now as it was when LeShan wrote it decades ago. It was instrumental in my own healing from lymphoma. I recommend it to anyone, whether they are seriously ill or seriously healthy. Copies can generally be found second-hand on the internet for very reasonable prices.
