Brave Warrior tells it how it is

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

Supporting Your Immune System

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.

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.

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?
