Author Description

Stop The Medicine is a passionate, frank, humorous, informative, shocking, and unparalleled look at the medical establishment from an insider's view. This extraordinary book opens hospitals doors that had previously been marked, "Hospital Personnel Only!" This book tells the true story of how a medical doctor, dying from an incurable disease in the midst of her medical training, fought desperately for her life by following alternative healing methods. In the process of healing, she would take on an entirely different view of the meaning of symptoms and disease. Cynthia Foster, MD began her formal medical studies with the aspiration of becoming a radiologist. Tragically, her entrance into medical school was soon followed by the emergence of severe epileptic seizures. The grand mal seizures became so extreme that they were dislocating her joints. In addition, a genetic susceptibility to thyroid disease began to cause problems that caused serious heart problems & extreme weakness. Medical doctors were unable to accurately diagnose her condition. Meanwhile, her disease had reduced her to crawling and she was forced to continue her studies on the floor of her apartment. All conventional treatment options failed. She realized that to overcome this life-threatening disease, she would have to throw out her medical teachings, and journey into the unknown. She "stumbled" across an alternative medicine clinic where thousands before her had found cures for their diseases. In the waiting room, she spoke with fellow patients in various stages of healing, and found that patients with such diseases as cancer, lupus, heart disease, and other serious diseases were reversing them naturally. She witnessed the miracles possible with herbs - people surviving who had been told they were going to die, organs regenerating, and tumors dropping off never to come back again. There, on a weekly basis, she followed recommendations from a holistic-oriented nurse.<br
