Christine, M.D. Horner
1 A Must Read for All Women
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.
2 Practical, Personal, Profound and Powerful
Read this book. Do not tarry or delay. Waking the Warrior Goddess is 300 pages of can't-put-it-down reading that will immediately alter the cancer odds to favor you. Dr Horner keeps it to the point while keeping it thorough, practical and fun. Tips, insights, crisp writing, clarity, short chapters, sidebars, an "A-list" of the best herbal supplements, loads of memorable quotes and just plain wonderful original artwork make Waking the Warrior Goddess easy to read and re-read. It's magnetic. You will revisit this book, without question.
I liked many things about this book. One small example is the author's final section on "customs" instead of the tedious and overused "steps." Perfect. Dr Horner gives us, in one word, a different, better, gentle, inspiring, insightful way of thinking about changing habits that immediately improve our odds in the horrible life/death cancer equation. It's one of many such fine touches. The publisher, Basic Health has a serious winner here. Kudos to them for publishing a much needed user-friendly masterpiece built on a Gibraltar of the latest and strongest published peer-reviewed placebo-controlled research culled directly from the medical database. Dr Horner's traditional medical education shows in her careful, accurate writing. With this book, you can confidently and effectively start fighting or preventing cancer today. Period. This book will change your odds and your mindset. This book can save your life, and the lives of those you love.
From the 50-thousand foot view, this book is a milestone of insight. The truth is, the talented pen of Dr Horner, a surgeon, expertly peels back the veil on our misguided often deadly assumptions to reveal the dynamic emerging model of medicine and tools that can save and strengthen your health. And she does it in a form and structure that invites every reader into that delightful future from page one. The paradigm of modern medicine is shifting -- thank God -- and Dr Horner puts a bright klieg light on the proven tools to enliven the body's powerful inner healing intelligence. This book strongly advances the leading edge of the emerging model of medicine. Read it and live.
I have only one question, and it goes to Basic Health Publications: When is Dr Horner's next book coming out?
3 Wonderful Book
I read this book while helping edit it (Christine Horner is my aunt) and it truly is the best book on this particular subject. It not only informs women about breast cancer, but helps you understand it, and fight it. My grandmother is smiling down from heaven knowing that other women will have the opportunity to protect themselves as she did not.
4 What a life-changing book this is!!!!!
This book reads as smoothly and beautifully as a best-seller novel, but it is a comprehensive fact-filled map of the journey towards true health and the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Dr. Christine Horner shows us the way to easily achieve this through natural ways....and she writes in a way that surpasses any other book I have read on the subject. Believe me, I have read plenty of books on breast cancer (since it is an issue that looms strongly for me), and most of them simply scare me, or give me nothing to connect to ...but Waking the Warrior Goddess has FINALLY given me the sense that I can really DO something to escape this sense of impending disaster. This book makes it EASY to escape the sense of hopelessness and fear that Western medicine has instilled in most of us. Although it is written specifically for women, there is plenty of information that helps men achieve greater health, too. Every page is uplifting. I look forward to reading ANYTHING Dr. Horner writes. I have given this book as a gift to several friends. It is a MUST READ for women who face the spectre of cancer...and that means ALL OF US!
