Summary: Love, Medicine and Miracles
Review: This book has changed my life! I am 43 years old with a wonderful husband of 18 years and three beautiful children, 14, 13 and 10. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It was by chance that it was caught, but nonetheless it is breast cancer. I am currently receiving radiation and have four more weeks to go. During the first week, I was sick to my stomach, felt weak, tired, couldn't eat and was a mess until I read this book. My neighbors had to drive me to my treatments and I had to wear headphones during the treatments. After reading the book I am a new person and went into treatments driving myself and hopping on the table without headphones. They were thrilled with me and I told them that everyone must read this book. I have share it with everyone I can and my mother said she can't put the book down.
I am very religious and at first wondered why me since I speak with God everyday, now I know how to visualize and love life to the extreme and am so happy to be alive. I still have the meditation part to go, but that will come. I also feel as though God is trying to lead me on a differnt path that I am on and will find out in time what that is.
I must say this book is not just for people with illnesses, but for everyone. Thank you for changing my life!! I wish I could tell everyone in the world how wonderful this book is.

Summary: LOVE, MIRACLES AND MEDICINE
Review: This book is an upbeat, positive approach and plan in dealing with any life altering diagosis. A perfect gift of hope and love for the patient, the patient's family, friends or yourself. If medical treatment is already underway there may be a recognizable need to give a gentle reminder to a physician or healthcare giver that TenderLovingCare in the treatment of a patient is needed and expected. . (Perhaps, there is only a wish by you to thank the doctor for TLC already given), Love,Medicine and Miracles is a perfect gift; a perfect venue. Dr. Seigel's book makes the point and serves as a definitive reminder of the significance of LOVE, MEDICNE and MIRACLES in rendering treatment to a patient. The book was recommended to me when my husband was diagnosed with a catistrophic cancer;cholangio carcinoma, by a cancer patient who twice had cancers go into remission. Since, that time it has been a favorite gift for those who need positive encouragement; those awaiting, or who have received a frightening dignosis. How difficult it is to know what to say to help. I find that the gift of this book, LOVE, MEDICINE and MIRACLES provides the positive message of love and caring that I want for my family and friends. Dr. Siegel says it so much better than a just a bouquet of flowers would. During the many weeks of hospital time and treatment that my husband unerwent I realized THIS BOOK SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR EVERY DOCTOR, NURSE and CAREGIVER. It is down to earth and forthright in the information,suggestions and examples given; truly a bright light in what is often a dark tunnel.

Summary: ENLIGHTENING BOOK
Review: This book is one of the very best I have read in a very long time. I read daily, many books and this one is at the top of my list. It is a keeper. Dr. Siegel is an awesome human being and many doctors, nurses, and any other health care professionals could learn volumes from this wonderful man. He has changed the lives of millions personnally with treatment and through his books. He has changed my life forever and for the better. This book and his sequel called "Peace, Love and Healing are the most awesome books. If you know anyone who is terminally ill or has a serious disease or disability they are living with, give them a copy of these 2 books. It will change their life profoundly. You could even be saving their lives. Dr. Siegel is an amazing man with so much to give and a very giving and loving person. He is a doctor that I wish every doctor would try to take after. So many doctors these days are too busy to even talk to their patients let alone listen to them. This man listens, helps and reacts. He takes everything seriously and responds to it. My life has been changed forever and is happier, healthier and more inspired and loving since reading Dr. Siegels 2 books. I was not able to put them down and in fact fell asleep every night reading the books and wished I didn't need to sleep so I could have read them faster because they have so much love, wisdom, faith and health to give to everyone. I recommend this book very highly and if you never read another book then please read Dr. Siegel's books and you won't need to read another book. You have it all right there. Everything you need to live a wonderful, happy, healthy life full of love and life is in these 2 books. Thank you Dr. Siegel and God bless. Well actually God has already blessed you in so many ways and then we have been blessed by God through you. You are a wonderful man and a great human being. I thank you for making such a wonderful and profound change in my life for the better. Please know how much you are appreciated. Thank you again and God bless Dr.

Summary: A prescription of full health
Review: This book/audio tape is a true rarity. In a world of negativism and pessimism, Dr. Siegel brings a viewpoint full of joy and love and honesty to those who are ill and even to those who are healthy. He has gotten me to rethink my attitudes about cancer and the traditional treatments which are forced on us by the insurance industry. I know now that I am going to beat the cancer which has invaded my body. When you combine modern medicine, caring doctors, alternative treatments, the prayers and support of family and friends, and the joyous philosophy of Dr. Siegel, you can't lose. Everyone, sick or healthy, should read or listen to this book. It is a God-send.

Summary: A wonderful book!
Review: This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it for anyone who's dealing with any sort of physical challenge. I had an orthopedic condition that dominated my life for several years, and Siegel's book taught me valuable lessons in dealing with my condition. The first lesson is the importance of the patients asserting themselves in the doctor-patient relationship - not in a negative sense, but more as establishing a partnership in fighting the condition. One disappointment of mine is that Siegel's teachings haven't had more of an impact on the medical community. In fact, with the onset of managed care, medicine has gone even further in the opposite direction, and patients have to work harder than ever to become a "partner" in their treatment. The second lesson is the overiding importance of love for your health - both in increasing your chances of recovery and reducing the chances of getting sick to begin with. His message can easily be lost in today's analytical world of medicine, but it's crucial. The message in this book really applies to everyone - regardless of their health.

Summary: if you have cancer, buy this book.
Review: This is an excellent book. I've been living with cancer for the past 6 years and have read dozens of books on healing the body and mind.. This is one of the best. Dr. Seigel will inspire you to help yourself. Quite simply, you'd be missing out if you didn't read it.

Summary: I Keep Giving This Book As a Gift
Review: This is the most helpful, well written book I've ever read. Siegel is a master at thought and the written word. I have given the book endless times to firends who are undergoing serious illness. Each one has said it got them through the tough times! Thanks, Dr. Bernie. You've made a great difference in the lives of countless individuals and certainly in the field of medicine. You give us the courage to question, the strength to hug, and the power to heal! Everyone should read this book.

Summary: I'm happy to have discovered Bernie Siegel
Review: This is to say I already reacted and wonder where my reaction is? In the meantime I sent a copy of some pages to my sister (she lives in London, England) who also had not yet heard of him and was "in love" immediately. She said he even looks like his name. So this message is only to confirm my earlier message. With best wishes

Summary: A book of empowerment and of love for the cancer fighters.
Review: This was the first book I read after my own cancer diagnosis. It gave me hope, inspiration, encouragement, and most importantly direction. Bernie is wholistic in his ability to encourage and inspire through his patient's stories as well as impart practical knowledge that we can use. He even introduced me to a side of doctors, we cancer patients can't usually see. I encourage anyone that is suffering from the hopelessness that comes with a terminal diagnosis to pick up this book and learn about the power you really do have.
