Spontaneous Remission
Book •
Kelly Turner's research into 'spontaneous remission' analyzes over a thousand documented cases where cancer regressed without conventional treatment, interviewing survivors and holistic healers to identify common facilitators of healing.
She distills recurring themes — such as taking control, deepening spiritual practices, emotional release, social support, and finding strong reasons for living — as central to many remissions.
Turner's work argues these factors are proactive behaviors rather than random miracles, suggesting patients often engage in transformative actions that support recovery.
The book encourages integrating psychosocial, spiritual, and lifestyle approaches into cancer care and highlights the medical system's typical failure to ask patients what they did.
It offers both empirical findings and practical guidance for patients seeking to support their healing journeys.
