Product Description
This book records the developments of the past 20 years, during which knowledge of the biology of Hodgkin's disease has greatly increased and has been paralleled by new ideas on its management. Patients are more accurately selected for radiotherapy by lessons learned from staging laparotomy. Surgery can be avoided by management decisions taken with knowledge of prognostic factors of survival. Combination chemotherapy allows for the first time curative treatment for patients with advanced disease, and it has suggested new approaches to chemotherapy of other malignancies. Treatment choice has been influenced by the recent knowledge of the histopathology and cellular biology of Hodgkin's disease. This book is therefore timely, and the authors have produced a comprehensive text that covers the important and clinical aspects of the subject. It records the wide international range of views and serves as a survey of present knowledge. ... Read more

Product Description
In 1987 Charles Atkins was struck with Hodgkin's disease and underwent the ravages of chemotherapy. Throughout his illness he used his Buddhist training and the power of the mantra nam-myoho-renge-kyo to carry him through the cancer treatments and allay his fears of death and doubts for recovery. During his stays in the hospital, he took every possible opportunity to comfort other cancer patients. His survival inspired him to share the healing techniques he has learned with others.In this book, Atkins introduces us to the Buddhist master Nichiren (1222-1281) and the healing teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha as laid out in the Lotus Sutra. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is an old mantra that has accumulated a great deal of power from centuries of countless individuals focusing their highest intents while chanting it. He explains how nam-myoho-renge-kyo can be used to "undo" karma that has damaged our health. Methods for chanting while visualizing abound in this book. His example, along with that of many others struggling with diseases as diverse as fibromyalgia, diabetic ulcers, high blood pressure, and mental illness, provides a beacon of hope for those facing illness. Atkins's book shows that with hope, faith, and prayer nothing is impossible. ... Read more

Modern Buddhist healing
I ordered this book twice, as I gave it away to a friend after reading it for the first time. I would say it's not only a book for buddhists, but it helps if you know something about the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin.

For me this book is also different to others of this category. It shows the deep connection between believe and also (I would call it) energy work.Especially in difficult life situations, as illness and pain.

As my language is German, I would love to read this book also in German, but unfortunately it is still not translated.

read it

Modern Buddhist Healing
In 1987, Charles Atkins was diagnosed with cancer. As with many cancer patients he underwent chemo and radiation therapy, a process that kills cell growth (both cancerous and healthy cells). To say the least, it can be a horrible process.

Years earlier, Atkins had been introduced to the work of Buddhist master Nichiren Daishonin. These teachings focused on the Lotus Sutra, repetition of the words "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo". For Atkins, this became a mantra of healing, to release karmic blockages and reverse dis-ease within the body system.

With nothing to lose, Atkins used this mantra during his illness. Before and during each therapy session, he chanted the phrase. This made the experience tolerable. He also regularly practiced the mantra with imagery techniques to speed his recovery. Atkins now uses the method to help others.

A Must Read....
Charles Atkins is a master at harnessing his description of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and how it relates to healing the human body.
Even after being a 10 year practicing Buddhist, it is only now that I truly understand the meaning of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, along with its vibrational power to heal both the body and the mind. Using Atkins' exercise of mantra powered visualization, I have been given new strength and hope regarding my own health issues.
Anyone who deals with any type of chronic illness must read this book and implement it's easy to learn strategies.
This book and it's author has changed my life incredibly! Whether you are Buddhist or not, anyone can benefit from this over-whelmingly encouraging lesson in healing, along with Atkins' miraculous struggle and survival of cancer.

A cure for your pain.
After reading the book 'Modern Buddhist Healing' by Charles Atkins I lent it to a friend who has suffered from illness for many years and tried all sorts of therapy. She is already feeling the power of the healing recommended in the book.It is an honest, clear account of how anyone can change their lives and free themselves from disease, this is not a crank book as the method Mr Atkins uses really works.He even cites his own account of how he freed himself from a life threatening illness. It is a book to keep by your bedside and read over and over.

oh yeah, that's the spot
This is IT
I recently just happened to be in a bookstore recently when Mr. Atkins was there discussing his book and experiences. I always have my "BS meter" on full alert...suffice to say that thisbook is not religious froo-froo or dogmatic salesmanship. The principles that he teaches here make sense for anyone and apparently work too. I'm impressed. If you buy it, Modern Buddhist Healing can change your life for the better on every level. ...
