DESCRIPTION Recovery from Cancer: The Remarkable Story of One Woman's Struggle With Cancer and What She Did to Beat the Odds
The words slowly sank in--Mrs. Nussbaum, you have cancer. So began Elaine Nussbaum's very personal struggle with this frightening disease. Despite surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, Elaine's cancer spread to her bones and both lungs. Three years after her initial diagnosis, she had had enough of conventional therapies. Elaine stopped all medications and treatments, and began to practice macrobiotics in a last-ditch effort to save her life. Slowly, her condition improved. Steadily, she regained her health. As Elaine recovered from the ravages of cancer, her family drew upon her newly found strength to become whole once again.
Here, then, in Elaine's own words, is her inspiring story of recovery against all odds--from her first days in the hospital, to the agony reflected in the faces of her family, to her eventual triumph.
Elaine's dramatic and very moving story offers hope to cancer patients everywhere--and adds to the growing evidence that macrobiotics can be effective in the treatment of this insidious disease.
Elaine Nussbaum holds a bachelor's degree in business education from Montclair State College. After her painful experience with cancer, she became a professional nutritionist and certified teacher of macrobiotics. Elaine has now been practicing, studying, and teaching macrobiotics for almost a decade. She has an active consulting practice in West Orange, New Jersey, and also offers macrobiotic cooking classes. Elaine is a popular lecturer, having spoken to groups throughout the United States. She has also been interviewed on numerous radio and national television shows. Elaine and her husband, Ralph, currently reside in northern New Jersey.
