Book Reviews of The Journey: A Practical Guide to Healing Your Life and Setting Yourself Free
Book Review: She didn't have Cancer
Summary: 1 Stars
The main advertising for this book & 'The Journey' therapy keeps making out that she had cancer.
She didn't have cancer, she had a tumor.
What does that mean? A tumor is just a swelling or a lump of any kind, it doesn't have to be cancerous.
Notice, she never states in the book she had cancer, because *she didn't*.
In her case, it sounds like a Uterine Fibroids (go google it). If you really want to be technical, a Subserosal uterine fibroid given that it was growing into her belly. I've seen reports that 50% of women over 35 have these growths, but they're usually small.
Brandon Bay on the other hand, was so in denial, so dismissive and rejecting of *standard* medical treatment, so sure that she was living a holistic life, so spiritually aware and positive and healthy, that she didn't do anything about it until it was apparently the size of a *basket-ball* (taking her word for it only here).
And of course, so caught up in her self-image as a spiritual and health expert, that she didn't admit to anyone, not her friends, what was happening.
I'm not so sure she's changed.
To explain the tumor a little more - sometimes, growth of these is caused by excess estrogen. if that is causing it, then going off HRT, and not taking any say, estrogen-enhancing supplements etc (as are quite commonly used in new age circles) will cause them to shrink again. Also, one of the treatments for is ultrasound to break up the fibroid mass - so, massage would be slightly effective for this. And of course, they often just get smaller on their own.
And now, she's presenting this 'new' healing method, that she should have been familiar with for years given the fields she was involved with, but instead, must somehow have been reeeaaally ineffective all those years, because she'd never had any emotional breakthroughs before, it only *worked* after having been really foolhardy with her own health, and now she uses this as example of transformation, while scarily and misleadingly presenting it in terms most people will think of as 'cancer', to present herself as an expert in spirituality and health - a guru.
Hmmmmmm....
Disclaimer: I'm not even a Doctor, I just know what Uterine Fibroids are. And the cancer thing really bugged me.
Book Review: The Journey: A Practical Guide to Healing your life and setting yourself free
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not read this book yet. It arrived on time and in good condition.Book Review: Still to be proved
Summary: 4 Stars
The book seems a miracle maker. Sounds so easy to solve your life problems, just with a friend !? If it is so, no need for shrinks anymore. Brandon's method is still to be proved. Does it really work ? Book Review: Life Changing
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know how many times I've read this book, or how many times I've bought this book just to give it to someone else in need. This truly changed my life. I read the book before attending a three day seminar by Brandon Bays and my life has not been the same since. I've actually attended 5 more seminars by Brandon...she is a blessing to this world.Book Review: A courageous woman
Summary: 4 Stars
As the title says this book is about the "Journey" of Brandon Bays. Her courage and strength in the midst of lifes trials is truelly inspiring. She has a very warm and pure soul and has developed her own unique formula for coping. She shares that formula with us. She is a very remarkable woman who usues her own insight and experiences to help others to overcome their own personal challenges. I highly recommend this book.
