MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When a friend announced in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease (aka ALS) and might only have two years to live, author Edward Palmer started to think. Precisely what did the doctor know? Standard medical treatment protocols limit traditional doctors; most have limited training in self-care, alternative healing, and spiritual healing strategies. The author has over 50 years of experience in these alternative approaches to health and healing. The author's biggest concern was that patients under a doctor's death diagnosis usually follow the doctor's palliative or hospice care to their grave. The author would choose from many existing alternative health strategies to improve his health and effect healing.

Key Points: 
  • "The Doctor's Death Diagnosis" is a new book promising alternative health and healing strategies for those who have received a terminal diagnosis.
  • The author's biggest concern was that patients under a doctor's death diagnosis usually follow the doctor's palliative or hospice care to their grave.
  • I discuss 50 years of alternative health practices in "The Doctor's Death Diagnosis."
  • When it comes to an actual death diagnosis, people should know that many alternative approaches exist to healing outside of standardized medical knowledge.
