Description

In 1974, Dr Ian Gawler, an ambitious young veterinarian and athlete, developed bone cancer in his right leg. The leg was amputated at the hip. The following year, the cancer spread to his pelvis and chest. Gawler was told that nothing could be done for him and, at his lowest ebb, that he had only weeks to live. Gawler refused to give up and began studying meditation and following a strict diet, pursuing an intense regime of research, introspection, and personal development.

Against all odds and prognoses, his cancer began to retreat and he was eventually declared clear of cancer in 1978.

Today, Ian Gawler is a world-renowned pioneer in the therapeutic application of mind/body medicine and meditation. Here Gawler reveals for the first time many aspects of his amazing story.
