People Need Hope: A Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis and My Path to Health

When you or someone you love is diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, or any stage of cancer for that matter, it's downright frightening. Starting your journey with unanswered questions makes the situation even more difficult. After you've had time to process the dreadful news, the difficulty of your situation is magnified by the lack of basic knowledge on where to begin. "People Need Hope" is written for those folks, like Todd St John who found himself in this same predicament in November 2017.

In "People Need Hope", Todd St John shares his personal journey of being a Stage 4 cancer patient and everything he encountered on the topic of cancer, including FDA and non-FDA therapies. His ideas, suggestions, perspectives, and personal experiences may provide readers with answers to present and future questions amidst their diagnosis and treatment. Todd wrote from his own personal experience in the hope of giving readers some comfort from the knowledge of what may lie ahead.

As you read through this book, at times you will feel like you are reading a personal essay of Todd's experiences and at other times you will feel like you are reading a science book. You will hear an intimate description of what Todd encountered from his first diagnosis up through today. Today he is cancer free or as the oncologists prefer to call this "No Evidence of Disease". You should walk away with a good foundational explanation of the various naturopathic therapies in which Todd investigated in his desire to be cancer free.

Todd put this book together in a way that he could not find himself in a single book about cancer. Most books he found strictly covered one topic in detail and other cancer books were largely only from the personal perspective of the cancer patient. What Todd could not find was a book as he captured here for you. Todd's wish is that his book will give you hope.
