I Survived: A Nordic Woman's Guide to Healing from Cancer

Karita decided not to die. Instead of fear, she focused on hope. Instead of planning her funeral, she planned her healing.

Karita was diagnosed with "incurable" stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme brain cancer. She defied the diagnosis, never googled her life expectancy, took her health in her own hands, and made impossible possible.

I Survived: A Nordic Woman's Guide to Healing from Cancer (September 2021, Nordic Wisdom) shares Karita's healing roadmap to full recovery by combining Western medicine, complementary treatments, mindset shifts, and lifestyle changes - in simple & effective steps you can begin following today.

I SURVIVED: A NORDIC WOMAN'S GUIDE TO HEALING FROM CANCER

A Brave and Vibrant True Story of Cancer and Healing

“I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing whatever it is."

These were the words Karita's doctor said to her when she was recovering from grade 4 brain cancer, believed to be incurable.

Instead, the cancer diagnosis with a prognosis of one year or less led Karita to a balanced and full life, fulfillment of dreams, and discovery of her life's purpose. I Survived: A Nordic Woman’s Guide to Healing from Cancer follows Karita's journey from her diagnosis to brain surgeries and cytostatic therapy – and, eventually, to an unbelievable recovery.

Karita found the biggest help in the same place as from where the disease originated: within herself. Following her Nordic healing philosophy of what works best must be used, she combined Western medicine, complementary therapies and lifestyle changes, and was able to make the impossible possible.

Karita's story is living proof of how taking charge of your own health, giving your body an opportunity to heal, and making use of mental resources allows the body to regenerate and diseases to subside. I Survived is a positive and exuberant book for those of us looking to take charge of our own lives and pursue a balanced life.

Karita Aaltonen is a wellness educator, public speaker and yoga retreat leader from Tampere, Finland, on a mission to give people hope, offer positive peer support to cancer patients, and share knowledge of holistic healing - with the aim of facilitating wide adoption of complementary practices along with Western medicine in the treatment of disease, especially cancer.

WORDS FOR WELLBEING

From I Survived

Do you perceive yourself as a beautiful, thriving, and healthy person, or do you feel sorry for yourself and always find something negative and bad to say about yourself?

It’s been proven that stress is only harmful when we perceive it negatively, or beyond our ability to manage. Otherwise, stress has many benefits, including immunity boosting and making us more resilient.
