  Michael Gearin-Tosh discovered that he had bone marrow cancer when he was 54. This is the story of his quest to manage and overcome his illness and his determination not to be coerced by specialists, the NHS and even colleagues into joining programmes of invasive treatments. The author selected a number of regimes and devised his own rigorous daily round of juices, vegetables and coffee enemas. Six years on, his extraordinary survival would be classified as a scientific miracle . But this is not a how-to book, rather an account of one man's quest to listen to his own inner voice of intuition in a world so heavily reliant on the certainty that it is the doctors that know best.
