Living proof - Michael Gearin-Tosh

'I was told I had cancer and that I must expect to die soon. Six years later I still do my job and enjoy life. I have not been treated. Did my cancer simply disappear? Did I do nothing? Far from it. A number of things happened, many by accident, and this book is about them.'
Michael Gearin-Tosh discovered that he had bone marrow cancer when he was fifty-four. This is the story of his quest to manage and overcome his illness and his determination not to be coerced by specialists, the NHS, and even colleagues into joining programmes of invasive treatments. The author selected from a number of regimes and devised his own rigorous daily round of juices, vegetables and coffee enemas. Six years on, his extraordinary survival would be classified as a 'scientific miracle'. But this is not a 'how-to' book, rather a lyrical, even humorous account of one man's quest to listen to his own inner voice of intuition in a world so heavily reliant on the certainty that it is the doctors that know best.
