TORREY'S MIRACLE
A Matter of Choice
By Margaret Berger Morse
|
Choices tells the moving story of how her own daughter, Torrey,
survived an aggressive form of cancer rarely found in children.
In her eight year, Torrey began receiving the best treatment conventional
medicine could offer for her illness. This treatment did not offer
a long range prognosis of life or a good quality of living through
it. The author and her husband made an agonizing and risky choice
to change treatment. The choice was Immuno-Augmentative Therapy,
an almost unknown alternative method for treating cancer. In the
midst of this trial the author realized "that life is a journey,
and this journey is toward God." The family learned that trust
in God and knowledge of his love are essential.
This is a true story of an ordinary family's triumph over a fatal
illness, and of love over fear.

Alternatives in Cancer Therapy
The Case for Choice
By Penelope Williams |
Alternatives in Cancer Therapy: The Case for Choice is a passionately
argued yet clear-eyed look at the world of alternative cancer therapy
and the criticism it faces from the conventional medical establishment.
Focusing on alternative treatments that have their basis in conventional
medical research, author Penelope Williams paints a compelling and
chilling portrait of a North American medical establishment unwilling
to look at non-conventional methods of cancer treatment.
A cancer survivor, Williams never loses sight of the human element.
She tells the stories of cancer sufferers forced to hide their alternative
treatments from their closed-minded conventional doctors. She also
shares the stories of patients lucky enough to have doctors who
could see that the non-traditional treatments were having an effect.
These are stories of hope and laughter, and unbeatable human spirit.
Gracefully written, Alternatives in Cancer Therapy is a moving
and important work. It dares the North American medical establishment
to set aside its biases, and calls for the combination of conventional
treatments and alternative therapies in the healing process.
Penelope Williams is the author of the award-winning The Other
Place: A Personal Account of Breast Cancer, and of numerous articles
for magazines such as Homemaker's. She has also delivered several
keynote addresses on topics related to breast cancer. She lives
with her family in Ottawa, Ontario.

Chemotherapy is uniformly fair." —Irwin D. Bross, Ph.D.,

"This is an excellent book written by an outstanding journalist.
It contains a wealth of information both on the effects and the
side-effects of chemotherapy and on the current state of research.

of the patients." —Ulrich Abel, Ph.D., Biostatistician,

reading for all medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists. My
