Author Carl O. Helvie, R.N., Dr.P.H., Chosen As Finalist In '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Nov. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Dr. Carl O Helvie, author of ‘You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using Alternative/Integrative Interventions’, has been chosen as a finalist in the ’50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ Awards contest. The contest is sponsored by The Authors Show.

’You Can Beat Lung Cancer’ presents an overview of lung cancer followed by the specific natural interventions used by the author when given 6 months to live by conventional medicine—38 years ago and the subsequent interventions used to remain cancer free. Additional chapters in the book are provided by integrative physicians Dr Bernie Siegel, Dr James Forsythe, and Dr Francisco Contreras, and by health professionals Dr Kim Dalzell (nutritionist) and Tanya Harter Pierce (protocel expert). Other chapters in the book discuss how to carry out the holistic interventions used (physical, mental, spiritual) such as radon detection, smoking cessation, meditation, prayer, affirmations, visualization, staying positive, and maintaining faith.

”It is an honor,” Dr. Helvie stated, “to be selected as a finalist in the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading contest. Recent responses to my radio, television, newspaper and magazine interviews on natural and alternative holistic treatments for lung cancer discussed in ‘You Can Beat Lung Cancer: Using “Alternative/Integrative Interventions’ and by those supporting my enrollment in this contest reinforces my belief that natural/alternative interventions for cancer are a timely topic.  I am excited about and appreciative of this opportunity.”

The book has received numerous positive reviews. In a recent Amazon review, G. Edward Griffin, Author of 'World Without Cancer' and 'The Politics of Cancer Therapy' said that Dr. Helvie's book " . . . is one of the most comprehensive books available on alternative treatments for lung cancer. It explains the treatments used successfully by a health professional/cancer survivor of 38 years and by some of the leading medical and health practitioners currently in the field. It will be useful, not just for the lay reader, but also for therapists and others with a scientific background.”
