This book covers a wide array of people with various and sundry illnesses. Some life threatening. Others daunting and grim. Still others, only mild conditions. But the author takes us through each individual's story, and lets see how grim that individual feels. How they have practically given up, when suddenly, that human spirit that we see so little of, you know the one, the one that says, I will not give up! I will not be a victim! I will be a victor! comes slowly to the surface.

Each case the individual is overwhelmed. And each case the person finds that fight within themselves to become a victor over illness. A willingness to take charge of the illness, and not be taken charge of!

They are often scoffed at by the very physicians and nurses they trusted to take care of them! Some even by their families and friends! But each one, determined to find the way back to a health. A normalcy of their former selves.

What wonderful insight each has in believing they KNOW what is best for their bodies and take charge! I found the work completely refreshing and energizing!

I give the work five stars,

a big thumbs up,

and I recommend it.

Susannah's reporting in the NY Times Magazine on this was super interesting and I'm excited to read her book! In a time when people are struggling to make sense of the contradictions in new medical information and the re-thinking of old beliefs, it's good to have someone to illuminate these issues.
