Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

In this debut memoir, a holistic healer shares her story of breast cancer and explores an array of approaches to physical and spiritual health. Grant, a California-based holistic healer, found herself under the surgeon’s knife ... nearly a decade ago. In this wide-reaching guide, Grant details her personal struggle with her diagnosis, then touches on the variety of ways that she believes one can help combat breast cancer and most other “dis-eases.” “I simply couldn’t proceed blindly onward hoping surgery, caustic drugs, and radiation were enough to ‘get me back to my old life,’ ” writes Grant. “I had to give equal consideration to the importance of food, body movement, stress-reduction, immunity, environmental toxins, lifestyle, emotions, mind, and spirit.” While it may be no surprise that a holistic healer would favor alternative approaches, Grant admits that she also had to overcome her own bias against traditional doctors in order to get better, with an acupuncturist friend telling her to “see them as healers, because they are. They are part of the world of healing and some of what they say is valid.” Thus, Grant acknowledges, “There is no right or wrong way. But there is a path that is best for you and I’m here to help you honor that.” This accepting spirit infuses the narrative, which presents a host of holistic options in workbook style. Each chapter ends with a “Take a Moment for Yourself” section, featuring questions for self-reflection. Grant’s book contains a wealth of information, from recipes to lists of inspirational music selections and health and healing reference works. Although this guide is largely well-organized, there is some repetition, and Grant’s personal story sometimes disappears within the larger topics she discusses. As a whole, however, this overview may be a welcome aid to those with breast cancer and helpful to anyone seeking to achieve a healthier life. A personal, expansive tour into the world of holistic healing.

"I highly recommend the careful study of Dr. Grant's work to both women and men.

Dr. Grant's story is both educational,courageous and deeply personal. Her candor is refreshing and inspiring.

Anyone who has ever been closely associated with a loved one or friend who has faced a life threatening illness of any kind will attest to the fact that disease is no respecter of gender, or age.

Twenty years ago I and my young family experienced the complex challenges associated with Breast Cancer. After a six year journey through the hills and valleys that accompany an experience such as this, my wife quietly passed away at home in the presence of family and friends.

Right from the beginning Dr Grant invites the reader to consider her journey not as absolute truth, but truths that Dr. Grant discovered brought her to a place of health and peace. It was easy to accept her personal invitation to take careful consideration of our own lives as she shares her story.

She encourages all people to carefully consider the relationship between mental,emotional and relational toxicity and disease, as well as the environmental conditions that can put us at risk. As I looked back at my own experience with this disease, I found every point that Dr. Grant made in these areas to be true.

Dr. Grant discovered the strength that comes when we go towards pain and embrace it as a teacher, rather than trying to run from it, which is the more natural reaction.

Dr. Grant describes the importance of trusting the process of the search for peace, and to not be so invested in the need of a particular outcome. She describes tenderly how she came to understand that whether we die soon, or are fortunate to have our lives extended, it is critically important to trust the journey, and that peace at all stages of life is possible.

Thanks to Dr. Grant for sharing intimate details of her journey. Someone once said that "We read to know we are not alone." Dr. Grant has accomplished that in this wonderful account.

With gratitude,
David, LMFT (California)"

This book is a fascinating read, whether or not you're having a breast health issue. I bought it because I work with many women who have breast cancer concerns. Frankly, I thought it might be another standard dry how-to book, but I was pleasantly surprised! I felt as though I was in a conversation with the author while reading it. She weaves her own experiences into the book as well as offers some of her viewpoints on things, but I never felt as though I was being told that her way was the "right" way.

This book was easy to read and engaging as well as enlightening. I'm going to keep it as a reference book in my office. I feel more encouraged and inspired about taking charge of my own health now, as well as being able to refer my patients to many new ideas for them to heal from all sorts of breast issues.

Also, something I really liked is that the "holistic" approach has you look at yourself as whole and complete. I feel like this is really a necessary thing in this day and age where isolated parts of ourselves are treated and what we feel or think is basically ignored. I would recommend this book to anyone, whether or not you have breast disease, as it has helped me renew my commitment to living healthier every day.

This book is so full of very helpful information. I highly recommend it to everyone. It helped me out when I was having breast issues. I learned so many things from Dr. Grant that I had no knowledge of. The book made me understand what was going on and helped me to make the right decisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well organized, easy to read & understand!
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014
I like that this book talks about breast health—and much more. It’s about the mind, body and spirit, and ways to be healthy NOW. It provides many practical options for prevention, staying healthy and handling daily stresses. The author also focuses on the spiritual side of life and how it’s connected to the body, which is very insightful. This book gave me a lot of good guidance for ways I can improve my health in my day to day life. I also like the “Take a Moment for Yourself” sections at the end of the chapters. These questions allow you to take what you’ve read, and easily apply it to yourself and your particular needs. Overall, this book is very well organized, and easy to read and understand. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for breast health & general health
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013
This book is a must-have for anyone dealing with breast cancer or breast health issues. It's also a great resource for anyone looking for tips on how to live a healthier life. Dr. Grant gives a fresh, honest account of her own experiences with breast cancer, and intersperses her experiences and anecdotes (which are very relatable) with loads of practical information. She draws you in from the first page and shares valuable information from beginning to end. I learned a lot, particularly about nourishment and food, protecting yourself from toxins, and using your own power for healing. What's particularly noteworthy about this book, compared to others, is that the author doesn't talk down to you or insist that her way is the only way to better breast health. She gives you an incredible amount of information with which to make your own decisions but, more importantly, she encourages you to listen to your inner wisdom and decide what's right for you.
