Need help to find a publisher for the cancer treatment book

[Guest guest]

Dear group:

 

As my book, Understanding the Jin Gui Yao Lue: A Practical Textbook has been

published, I have just finished another book about the treatment of cancer with

Chinese Medicinal Recipes and Qigong.

 

Each year, thousands and thousands, universally, are hounded by cancer. I

strongly believe Chinese medicine and Qigong can contribute a lot. I hope this

group members can give me a hand to connect some publishers who might be

interested in this book. I was told that Qigong and medicinal foods are getting

popular in Europe, so please help me if you know some Europeans publishers. I

list the table of contents here and any comments regarding the contents or

publication issue is much appreciated.

 

The working title:

The Prevention and Treatment of Cancer: Chinese Medicinal Recipes and Qigong

(with supplementary DVD)

 

About this Book

 

ƒÞ Reader-friendly, Cancer Patients¡¦ Guidebook

Using medicinal foods and Qigong exercises as fundamentals to the patients¡¦

cancer treatment strategies

 

ƒÞ Medicinal Food Therapy

Easy-to-prepare, medicinal meals as food therapy, complete with: Recipes,

Pharmaceutical ingredients, Medicinal actions of the herbal medicines used and

High-resolution, appetizing photos of each dish

 

ƒÞ Qigong Exercise Therapy

A detailed discussion of the physiological mechanisms and therapeutic efficacy

of Qigong, presented as an easy-to-follow explanation for patients to practice

 

ƒÞ Acupuncture Therapy

Acupuncture guide, compiled from evidenced-based research, complete with

acupuncture points used in pain management and boosting immunity

 

ƒÞ Supplementary How-To DVD

sample dishes)

 

This book is the first reader-friendly cancer patients¡¦ guidebook with

instructional DVD, aimed at helping cancer patients through all stages of the

disease to implement medicinal foods and Qigong exercises as fundamentals to

cancer patients¡¦ treatment strategies. The complementary DVD guides patients

through the preparations of medicinal meals and Qigong exercises, while the book

explains in lay terms the pharmaceutical and therapeutic mechanisms of the

herbal medicines and Qigong exercises.

 

Unlike the overwhelming majority of texts written on the subject of cancer

treatment through Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which are on the whole

written for academics, physicians and medical students, this book gives patients

and their loved ones a tangible, user-friendly guide to not only understand, but

more importantly to put into practice Chinese medicinal food therapy and Qigong

exercise therapy as fundamentals in the fight against cancer.
