N OF 1 IBD

Sinopse

Twenty-five years ago my doctors had no cure for my cancer. So I went on a quest to find my own treatment. This is my story...In 1991, Glenn Sabin was a 28-year-old newlywed diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)&ndash,a disease doctors called &ldquo,uniformly fatal.&rdquo, Treatments could buy him some time and eventually ease his discomfort, but there was no conventional cure. Glenn&rsquo,s prognosis was clear: he was going to die.Although Glenn and his wife, Linda, continued to consult with doctors, cancer specialists and top oncologists, Glenn made a monumental decision: he would become his own health advocate. While he continued to &ldquo,watch and wait,&rdquo, Glenn would figure out how to stay alive.No one could predict when a large-scale clinical trial would discover a cure for CLL, so Glenn began his own, medically monitored and carefully researched lifestyle changes. He would conduct his own, single patient clinical trial.He would become an &ldquo,n of 1.&rdquo,Today, Glenn is not only alive, but a 2012 biopsy at Harvard confirmed that his bone marrow contains no leukemic cells. His case is now part of the medical literature.In n of 1, author Glenn Sabin takes readers along his remarkable journey with &lsquo,incurable&rsquo, cancer, where he discovers: No two cancers are exactly alike. Our bodies, minds and diseases are unique, and need to be treated as such. Knowledge and empowerment are your best allies against a life-limiting diagnosis. Lifestyle changes are a powerful way to help prevent, manage and reduce the recurrence of disease&mdash,and to improve your quality of life. A strong support system and a clear mind may significantly improve your health. https://www.glennsabin.com Twitter: @GlennSabin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennsabin/
