Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner's Program to Protect Against & Fight Breast Cancer

It's refreshing to see a book from a medical doctor (a surgeon) that gives practical and natural suggestions for protecting yourself from breast cancer. Most conventional doctors limit their advice to what drugs might be prescribed and what to expect during chemotherapy. This book was packed with lots of truly natural alternatives. Way to go Christine! Dan Stih, B.S.E, CIEC, Author, Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards Affecting Your Health

Dr. Horner cites current research to substantiate her claims about supplements which support the immune system. Although I had breast cancer and have recommended the book to others who have/had breast cancer, this book is really about all the ways you can support your health to prevent disease, and to strengthen your immune response to prevent disease and to the effects of aging.

Breast cancer. Two words that evoke a visceral terror in most women. Is there anything that can abate the overwhelming sense of helplessness that often accompanies this fear? Or must we simply live with the anxiety of wondering whether someday we may become the next statistic. As a woman with a family history of breast cancer these were my questions. My aunt died of breast cancer at age 77--young considering that all of her siblings have lived well into their 90's. Enter Dr. Christine Horner's book Waking the Warrior Goddess. In this groundbreaking book I have found the antidote to the sense of fear and helplessness that surrounds the specter of breast cancer. Dr. Horner's book is well researched and contains a practical program for making positive changes that support a woman's health on all levels. I found the extensive list of resources to be particularly helpful. And while I have found most books on health topics to be quite dry, this book is the rare exception. Dr. Horner engages the reader with her warm, intimate style. Her passion for her subject matter is apparent. A highlight of the book is her personal story of how the book came to be written. I highly recommend this book to any woman who is concerned about creating and maintaining a healthful lifestyle that protects her from the scourge of breast cancer. Now is the time to awaken our Warrior Goddess. Do not hit the snooze button. Read this book.
