When Cells Rebel: Your Martial Arts and Defeating Cancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991602303)

"Whether for yourself, or a person close to you, When Cells Rebel will give you usable, caring, and understanding ways to maintain your balance and get through the BS that the diagnosis brings." - Terry Trahan

"This book will be inspiring and genuinely useful to the martial artist. Also, I suspect the non-martial artist facing their health battle will find this wisdom useful." - Peter Jones, BN (Hons.) MSc RN (Adult)

According to The American Cancer Society, if you're male you have a 1 in 2 chance of receiving a cancer diagnosis during your lifetime. For females, it's 1 in 3. When Cells Rebel combines personal anecdotes, practical advice, and motivational insights that will help you navigate your diagnosis, treatment, and recovery if those odds don't fall in your favor.

The book emphasizes the importance of a positive mindset, leveraging martial arts principles such as discipline, resilience, and mindfulness to help you combat the disease. It provides tips on everything from handling nausea to finding the right doctor, along with resources for financial assistance, clinical trials, and complementary therapies too.

A 2019 Stanford University study demonstrated that cancer patients with the strongest will to live have a better chance of doing so, and martial artists rarely lack for willpower. We don't give up, we don't give in. Win or lose we give it our all. In other words, as a practitioner you've been preparing to survive your diagnosis ever since you walked into the training hall.

The authors share their personal experiences backed up by comprehensive research to deliver a message of empowerment, teaching martial artists and non-practitioners alike how to see themselves as warriors in their fight against cancer.
