A User’s Guide to the Human Body: stuff we needed to know but were never told

Why is this happening to me? My grandmother and mother had cancer, so how can I avoid it? My doctor said nothing can be done and I just have to live with this pain. If any of these statements sound familiar, then you need to read this book! A diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma inspired Shane Moore to make some significant changes in all aspects of her life. After being introduced to the John F. Barnes' Approach to Myofascial Release, Shane immediately knew she had found her true purpose. A User's Guide to the Human Body challenges the western medical explanation of how and why disease and chronic pain happen. It explores how we can cause and heal our own illness and pain and provides simple tools and techniques that can quickly and easily change your life.
