Editorial Review:
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Healing Yourself Thru Meditation
This is a wonderful book detailing Dr. Simonton's experiences with the mind-body connection and healing. It chronicles many patients' successful efforts to utilize their own imagination to heal disease. The writing style makes for easy reading.
This book supports the idea that we create or destroy our own health thru our attitudes & beliefs. The book includes specifics for creating healing meditations you can tailor to your needs. A refreshing addition to my "alternative healing" ... Read More
Rating:  - Blame Has No Place in Healing
I am not a cancer survivor, but rather a physician interested in the mind-body connection. I have done a lot of reading in this field and am definitely a proponent of the now fairly well-established theory that the mind and body are indivisibly linked. This is good news for everyone, and means that literally all patients, with proper guidance, can be taught how to rally their mental resources to optimize their chance of recovery. This book does a good job of showing how, though (perhaps necessarily) spends ... Read More
Rating: - Add an Edge to Your Cancer Treatment
I give away many of my books after reading them myself, and often buy books as special occasion gifts for others. However, this book is the only one that I have bought repeatedly over the years to give away. It is a fast and interesting read that provides, in a very understandable and concise way, how to use specific mental exercises to combat the multiplication of cancer cells. Favorable results have been documented for many years.
Rating: - This book should come with diagnosis
This book is essential. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in late 2003 and was given this book as a gift from a survivor I'd never met and still haven't to date. Because of her thoughtfulness, I was able to better understand, work with my treatment and get well again. I have given my copy away, that copy passed on by the person I gave it to again and I trust again since that time. Another friend of a friend was diagnosed in Florida (I'm in Michigan, my benefactor in California) and this was the first thing ... Read More
Rating: - Simonton's "Getting Well"
Book is very informative and offers hope and help. It is far too old and needs to be updated to more current situations but many of the facts remain true and it is still probably the best cancer help book out there.
