Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION excerpts … what happens when the treatment you receive does not work, or there is no treatment available and you are left facing a debilitating disease or a shortened life? Your doctor has sagely shaken his or her head and told you there is no other treatment available for your condition. You are offered palliative treatment to manage your condition and help you enjoy your life as best you can. You do not think about using any other therapies because your doctor has assured you that every possible treatment has been tried. How some people have responded to this situation is the focus of this book. The Stories Here, over 40 people, including parents, describe how they did not accept their bleak medical outlook. Instead, they became determined to seek out treatments that would help them recover and lead them back to a normal life. The therapies they use vary from dietary regimes and intense nutritional therapy, to little- known medical innovations. The people in this book feel that their stories are worthy of sharing, so that others might benefit from their experience. Many of the patients report that even though orthodox medicine offered them no help, the alternative treatment they considered using was dismissed as “unscientific”, with a general attitude of: “Because there’s nothing we can do to help you, no-one else will be able to help you either.” Despite being as real as you or I, the recovery stories like those here are routinely regarded as ‘anecdotal’ and therefore dismissed as unreliable data. But anyone willing to look will see that the treatments have been researched. Some have the status of ‘scientifically proven’ and have achieved successful treatment outcomes for almost one hundred years. These are not isolated cases of recovery; they represent growing numbers of people who are making their own choices about the type of treatment they use. Yet many of these treatments remain obscure to most people. In the process of listening to over 50 patient stories, 43 of which appear here, it became apparent that the therapies used are a small selection of a myriad of alternative therapies that are available today for most illnesses, making orthodox treatment just one treatment option among many. The aim of this book is to shed light on therapies available to treat diseases that are believed to be incurable and therefore untreatable. These people challenge that belief.

About the Book
What happens when the medical treatment you receive does not work, or there is no treatment available and you are left facing a debilitating disease or a shortened life?
Nyema Hermiston, a registered nurse and longtime natural therapist, answers that question and many others, through the interviews of dozens of men and women who explain how they recovered from debilitating and life-threatening conditions, ranging from autoimmune disease, cancer, severe allergies, and pain.
Unfortunately, far too many people are told there is nothing that can be done about their conditions, and they never seek out alternative treatments due to their “unscientific” status. They don’t stop to contemplate the risks associated with orthodox medical treatments.
For instance, in the United States, medical error claims the lives of 400,000 people every year, making it the third leading cause of all deaths. In Australia, medical treatment causes 18,000 deaths per year and injures up to 50,000 more.
Alternative treatments that include nutrition and little-known medical therapies are often less risky and as effective as standard treatments. Find out how they could save your life or the life of a loved one in Good News for People with Bad News.
