Product Description
Product Description
Based on the Simontons' experience with hundreds of patients at their world-famous Cancer Counseling and Research Center, Getting Well Again introduces the scientific basis for the "will to live."
In this revolutionary book the Simontons profile the typical "cancer personality": how an individual's reactions to stress and other emotional factors can contribute to the onset and progress of cancer -- and how positive expectations, self-awareness, and self-care can contribute to survival. This book offers the same self-help techniques the Simonton's patients have used to successfully to reinforce usual medical treatment -- techniques for learning positive attitudes, relaxation, visualization, goal setting, managing pain, exercise, and building an emotional support system.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book saved my life!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Well Again: The Bestselling Classic about the Simontons' Revolutionary Lifesaving Self-Awareness Techniques (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book 17 years ago while I was undergoing chemotherapy and it completely changed the way I saw myself, my illness, my treatment and my prognosis. Give this book to anyone you know who has cancer and help to save their lives. I agree entirely with the previous reviewer, this book is a MUST, as important as the conventional therapy you receive.

Extraordinarily great!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Well Again: The Bestselling Classic about the Simontons' Revolutionary Lifesaving Self-Awareness Techniques (Mass Market Paperback)
My husband was diagnosed with cancer in 1982. He took chemo and radiation concurrently as his "only" chance to live--even so, his prognosis was not good. He found a copy of this book and an audio cassette tape from the Simontons. He read the book, then read it again, then read it again, while continuing chemo and radiation! Each day, three times a day, he listened to the audio tape. He placed as much faith in the book and its suggestions and in the relaxation-visualization tape as he did in the conventional treatment he was receiving. He lived almost fifteen years after diagnosis and did not die from inoperable lung cancer but from bleeding ulcers. This book and the visualization tape if it is still available, are MUSTS for people diagnosed with cancer who are willing to use their minds to help their bodies cure themselves.

Lifesaving!!,

This review is from: Getting Well Again: The Bestselling Classic about the Simontons' Revolutionary Lifesaving Self-Awareness Techniques (Mass Market Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Cancer around 4 weeks ago. This book helped me find my way thru the chemo and the various ops to cut the cancer out. This book should be given to all cancer patients upon discovery. With explicit chapters explaining how to engage your mind to help you heal as well as factors which will measurably improve your chances of success.
By actively engaging the knowledge within this book, I'm healing 10 times faster then the typical patient with my type of cancer. APPLIED knowledge is power, buy this book, but more importantly, USE IT! I also recommend: ** A Cancer Battle Plan: Six Strategies for Beating Cancer ** The PH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health ** Love, Medicine and Miracles ** NLP: The New Technology of Achievement {the chapter on positive mental attitude is worth the whole price of the book! Details the exact steps extraordinary patients take to heal faster and better from life threatening and debilating injuries/illness} Never EVER give up, fight to the last!
