Publisher Description
For more than three decades, Tom Monte has been a leading writer, teacher, and counselor within the natural healing community. As a national best-selling author, he has helped bring to the public’s attention the work of many cutting-edge doctors, medical researchers, and scientists. As a teacher and counselor in the use of natural healing methods, he has worked with thousands of individuals and families who were seeking to overcome serious illnesses or other life-altering crises. During the course of his work, he has witnessed and written about many “miraculous” recoveries. As inscrutable as these recoveries may have seemed, Tom began to recognize common factors among those who overcame serious illness. Based on medical research, the insightful work of others, his own work, and the experiences of patients who managed to reverse their own devastating health conditions, Tom has written an inspiring guide for those who suffer from chronic or life-threatening illness. Unexpected Recoveries is the culmination of a lifetime of work designed to offer hope, purpose, and—most important—a proactive plan.
This book combines modern medical know-how, ancient healing practices, and a healing diet to provide a comprehensive and practical guidebook for physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Monte, a prolific author on "health, healing, and personal transformation," delivers encouragement to readers struggling with serious illness. He methodically shares seven steps for coping with serious illness, beginning with the plainspoken "get past the shock." Subsequent topics and steps include empowerment in step two, the importance of creating a "supportive community" in step four, and finding a purpose for living, step seven. In each step, Monte includes examples of individuals (famous and not) who committed to transformational change, and breaks down information into small, specific actions through "What to Do Now" and "Where to Start" sections. Prescribed actions are both practical (plant-based diet changes, finding a way to "give back" through service) and mental ("commit to healing," "believe in your ability to heal.") Monte continuously offers simple and manageable ways to incorporate change into one's daily routine (e.g., three 10-minute exercises) and includes a daily meal schedule and menu plans with supporting recipes. He also includes a concluding resources guide. The easy-to-follow format, combined with compelling and dramatic patient recovery stories, makes for an appealing read.
