“IT TAKES A DIFFERENT KIND OF THINKING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAN THE KIND OF THINKING THAT PRODUCED THE PROBLEM.” —Albert Einstein
JJ had a devastating problem. At age fifty-one, he was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given three years to live. Rather than accept that outcome, JJ did what he always does: he set out to find a solution. Desiring to look beyond traditional treatments and their often harmful side effects, he put his unconventionally wired mind to work. JJ was
relentless as he investigated alternative therapies and pursued global trailblazers in cancer research. Moving from the role of patient to patient-researcher, he became a trailblazer in his own right, being
sought after for his latest findings. Ultimately, JJ brought together the most innovative international minds at the Rethinking Cancer 2017 conference in Paris. Together, they found common ground, and they continue to create integrative, synergistic approaches to treatment. Today, almost a decade after his diagnosis, JJ has defied the odds and
is cancer-free. Recently retired from his career as a commercial airline captain on the Airbus A380, he now devotes himself to sharing his ongoing research with scientists and patients. JJ’s story illustrates how looking at things differently often enables us to see them in a whole new light.
Flying Against the Odds Combines a Memoir with an Alternative Medicine Guide. The authors open their lives and family's emotional story to readers honestly and realistically. They also share much more as they depict the details of the medical and scientific research and lifestyle changes employed by them as parts of JJ's alternative approach to cancer treatment. While the authors are certainly not offering a guaranteed cure to cancer-stricken readers, they offer a guide through their experiences with alternatives to traditional medical treatment.
Insights in this Book Are Valuable Beyond Cancer Treatment. While the author suffered from cancer--his story and the diet and lifestyle regiment that he and his wife incorporated into their lives--are valuable to readers facing a host of other illnesses as well. The authors offer an inspirational, well-written, well-researched look at alternative health and more natural healing.
Would I recommend Flying Against the Odds: One Man's Journey to New Ways of Healing by Jacques Trochon with Heather Whitehall-Trochon. For those diagnosed with cancer--or the families supporting people living with cancer--I think this is a must-read if you are interested in breaking away from the traditional treatment plan and incorporating something a little different. Readers will follow the Trochon's personal journey through the emotional ups and downs of cancer treatment and survival--and will see the methods, research, and treatment paths followed by them along the way as well. It is an informational and inspirational story that offers guidance and resources for others seeking an approach to healing.
