Publisher's Synopsis
A gifted writer, Bero knows how to tell a story. E.A.T. An Unconventional Decade In The Life Of A Cancer Patient is written in journal format and is a four-time award winning, best selling book that is an entirely transparent, honest and relatable accounting of battling cancer through the prism of healing. It describes how she EVOLVED into her own best ADVOCATE to TRANSFORM her life. What it isn't is a self-help book. It does not lay out a specific plan or diet, but it does include the list of foods she used as medicine along with a summary of why keeping your microbiome diverse and healthy matters. Her recovery was not just about using food as medicine, but it also included stress releasing modalities. Bero would like her readers to know that she does not present her story for others to do exactly as she did. Instead, she hopes her readers will find motivation and strength to use an integrative approach to healing. In addition, it was her desire to demonstrate the horrible things cancer patients endure in our current system of care in hopes we can do better moving forward and grow the current protocol box.
Bero's genuine optimism and passion for life is contagious in this candid, honest, and deeply human story that speaks straight to the heart and provides insight into her self-designed healing protocol to overcome stage IV inflammatory breast cancer and a high-grade tumor in her head and neck. In 2005, Bero's life expectancy was 21 months, a mere sliver of time compared to the nearly 17 years she's logged since. Her story is exactly how it was in real life. Not every moment was full of hope nor every day packed with unfailing support. Bero does not hold back nor does she sugar coat anything. Her insights are a perspective rarely heard and provide critical benefits to patients and health care providers alike. She is brutally honest about the good, the bad and the l can't believe they actually did that, demonstrating that triumph over a disease that feeds from a damaged mind, body and spirit is possible. Today, her case is being studied as part of Harvard University's People Powered Network of Enigmatic Exceptional Responders looking at individuals with unexpected success battling cancer.
