It literally brings me to tears when I think about the number of people who are affected by cancer every day. Whether it’s you, your mother, your sister, your child, or maybe your best friend, we are all affected by this horrible disease at some point in our lives.

It saddens me even more to think that there is a multi-billion dollar industry supported by those who are suffering. We pour millions of dollars into research, walk thousands of miles a year to raise money, and we continue to “fight the war on cancer.” Sadly though, there are more people diagnosed with cancer today then there were fifty years ago.

After all of the time, energy, money and research, we are still losing our loved ones to this awful disease. We are watching their quality of life diminish as they are given conventional treatments that cause all types of terrible side effects. Something has to be done and this has to stop.

If you are tired of going to doctor after doctor and only coming out with a prescription in your hand and no real answers, then Breakthrough: Eight Steps To Wellness should be on your reading list.

Suzanne Somers has written another great book, sharing loads of cutting-edge information through her interviews with over a dozen different doctors.

She, along with these doctors, shares her passion for being proactive with her health and living in a state of abundant energy and well-being. She feels strongly about looking at her body as a whole, rather than treating or masking individual symptoms.

Suzanne writes about her eight steps to wellness in this very interesting and educational read, and I want to give you a brief look at those now.

Low-fat. Low-carb. No red meat. Butter or margarine? Vegetable oil or olive oil? Whole milk or skim milk? Grass fed? Organic?

It seems like every year there is “new” information telling us what we should or shouldn’t eat and many times it contradicts what we may believe or may already be doing.

I recently finished reading Real Food: What To Eat And Why by Nina Planck, and I thought it was a fantastic book.

100 years ago, heck 50 years ago, food wasn’t this complicated. It wasn’t all about fad diets.

It was about farming and living off the land. It was about eating what Nina refers to in this book as “real food.”

I recently finished reading Ageless by Suzanne Somers and what can I say, except that I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone over the age of 18.

When you are doing something you are passionate about, at any age, it shines through in your work. This is most certainly the case with Suzanne Somers.
