Two days before Christmas and at just 26 years old, Chris Wark found himself diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. Before he knew it, he was wheeled into surgery, where a golf ball-sized tumor and a third of his colon were removed. Doctors told Wark that as soon as he recovered from surgery, he would need 9 to 12 months of chemotherapy in order to prevent a recurrence. But when the first meal he was served in the hospital was a cafeteria-style sloppy joe, he had the first hint that maybe, just maybe, taking into account his diet and nurturing his own health might be the way to heal his body more effectively, even if it went against the advice of the traditional medical establishment and his family and friends. Millions of readers have followed Wark's journey on his blog, Chris Beat Cancer, and in his debut work he dives deep into the reasoning and scientific foundation behind his approach and the strategies that he used to successfully heal his body from cancer. Wark exposes the corruption and ineffectiveness found in the medical and cancer industries while exploring a variety of perspectives and areas of well-being in order to shape his integrative approach. Drawing from the most up-to-date and rigorous research as well as his deep faith, he shares his healing strategies, including his Beat Cancer Mindset; radical diet and lifestyle changes; and means for mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Packed with both intense personal insight and extensive healing solutions, Chris Beat Cancer will inspire and guide you on your own journey toward wellness. "I am not "lucky" or special. I am just a regular guy who listened to his instincts, stepped out in faith, and took massive action to help his body heal. I eliminated everything in my life that may have contributed to my disease, and changed the internal terrain of my body - making it a place where cancer could not thrive. What I did, I believe anyone can do, including you."
