Shattering the
Cancer Myth
Author: Katrina Ellis
Publisher: Hinkler Books
Australia
Katrina Ellis, naturopath and
iridologist, tells the story of her incredible battle with cancer,
which she won with the help of natural medicine. She then goes on to
provide a wealth of helpful information for cancer sufferers and their
families on how to fight this disease and win, just as she did. An
inspiring story and excellent self-help book.

novels, chapter books and educational manuscripts and can provide a
detailed appraisal with further suggestions on finding a publisher or
