News 13 February 2004
The
edited manuscript for FEMALE CANCERS by Jan de
Vries has just been delivered and is excellent. Jan is internationally
known for
his work in alternative medicine and lectures all over the world
in addition to having clinics in seven major cities in the UK and
Ireland.
In this book he succinctly addresses the main issues involving the treatment of cancers affecting women today and explains what sufferers can do to improve their chances of recovery. He also advises on the ways that women can decrease the likelihood of contracting the disease. Jan de Vries has written almost 40 books, all of which are drawn from his own experiences.
The reason for his tremendous success is perhaps best summed up by the SUNDAY TIMES who wrote it is because 'he understands people are frightened of illness'. In FEMALE CANCERS his unique voice reveals his passion for helping the ordinary person to access alternative medical care. World rights are available. If you would be interested in seeing the edited manuscript please contact fiona.brownlee@mainstreampublishing.com

World rights are available.
Still
