Since 1980 the Bristol Cancer Centre has offered new hope to tens of thousands of people diagnosed with cancer. At Bristol treatment is based on the restoration of calm and in adopting a lifestyle to strengthen mind and body. The Bristol Approach sets out to reduce fear and increase understanding, to improve health and energy levels through dietary and visualisation methods, meditation and relaxation, that work hand in hand with medical treatment.
To reach those who cannot go to Bristol this first handbook gives a clear, informative background to the centre and its philosophy, describes what former patients have found here, and offers a practical guide to applying Bristol Approach techniques.

'The Bristol Cancer Help Centre saved my life. At a time of sheer desperation, confusion and panic I was given a clear way to re-find my health and am now living a happier, stronger, more fulfilled life than ever before.'
Sheila Hancock, former patient.
