The Healing Adventure by Carl Simonton & Reid Henson

A famous follow-up to Getting Well Again by Dr. Carl Simonton, this book tells the story of one of his patients, Reid Henson.

Reid was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer: he was given two years to live. Twenty-four years later, thanks to the Simonton method, Reid is doing very well and shares, along with his doctor, this extraordinary story, full of insights for anyone currently facing a grim diagnosis.

In the first part of the book, Dr. Carl Simonton, the father of psycho-oncology, describes the method taught at the Simonton Cancer Centers, which have now opened locations in Italy as well.

The method is based on the principle that our beliefs, emotions, and attitudes play a crucial role in determining the quality of our life and our health: American statistics show that his approach, when combined with conventional medical treatments, offers cancer patients double the chance of survival.

The second part of the book is Reid's honest, accessible, and deeply reassuring testimony: a precious guide on the journey toward healing.
