Angie Choi's cancer memoir details her experience from ovarian cancer diagnosis to being cancer free by using a metabolic approach to cancer. Dr. Choi describes how she combined standard treatment (surgery) with alternative treatment for cancer inclusive of a therapeutic ketogenic diet, anti-parasitic medication, and supplements. She relates her process working with both conventional and alternative healthcare practitioners to get the support she needed as she forged a holistic, complimentary path through cancer. Dr. Choi discusses how cancer grew from an imbalance in her body, mind, and spirit and healed from rebalancing. This book is presented in three sections: body, mind, and spirit, and is presented through the lens of Indian spirituality.
