Reviews

[Cheryl Klein · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sensible, good advice. Nothing revolutionary but hearing it again is a good thing.

[Emily Shearer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Neither original nor very well written. Most of what's here is pretty much the stuff of a good Oprah magazine article. But as someone who needs to work on actively healing, it was good to have all the advice here in one place. Reading the book is like bapping yourself over the head with common sense, drumming it in so that you have no choice but to listen and heed.

[Fariza · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent book for those looking for healing guides. The writer is a cancer survivor herself and really give a good insight on behalf of the real patient. Some of her advice are very practical with specific how to.

[Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

While easy to read and holistic in its approach, You Can Heal Yourself fluctuates between exhaustive explanations and startling brief summaries that end abruptly. Balance would have made this book even better. This is a good starting point for anyone embarking upon a healing journey, but further research may be required depending upon the circumstances.

[Brenda Kneeshaw · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good book for anyone having dealt with a medical issue.

[Jaconda Wagner]
