Ian Gawler is Australia's best-known cancer survivor. You Can Conquer Cancer was a revolutionary book when first published in 1984. It has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide, been reprinted twenty times and translated into many different languages. It has become a classic and one of the most widely-read books on the subject of cancer prevention, management and survival.

This new edition contains all of the information which made it such a 'must read' reference book along with whole sections which provide important new information and self-help techniques. The book, remarkable for its clarity, enlarges upon what is a truly integrated, holistic approach to cancer: emphasising nutrition, the power of the mind, meditation, family and social support and the spiritual dimension of life.

"People faced with cancer take life seriously - very seriously. They want answers; they need to know what works. I know this feeling. For over twenty years now I have sat in groups with thousands of others going through cancer. Between us we have tried many things. We have worked out what works. My job has been to collect this experience. It is now presented in the new edition of my book".

Ian Gawler's ideas and concepts have now received substantial scientific recognition and validation both in Australia and internationally.
Dr Gawler who is a founder of The Gawler Foundation, believes that there is a process by which the body can regain its natural state of health. He sees cancer as a symptom of immune deficiency and explains how the immune system can be reactivated.

About the author

As a young veterinary surgeon and athlete, Ian Gawler developed osteogenic sarcoma ( bone cancer ). His leg was amputated in 1975. Later that year the cancer returned and at one point, Ian was expected to live for only a few weeks. Ian then developed an effective self help program with key principles: Good food, positive attitudes, meditation and loving support.

Dr Ian Gawler's story offers hope and inspiration to people everywhere. The self help techniques that he developed have helped many to convert hope into sustained health and peace of mind. A pioneer in Mind/Body Medicine, Dr Gawler is known for his clarity and good humour. With a gift for translating ancient wisdom into a modern context, Ian has played a major part in popularizing meditation and other mind techniques in the western world.

Not content with just surviving, Dr Gawler began to share these principles with others. The cancer support group he began in 1981 was the first group in Australia to actively address the needs of patients and their families in coping with, and attempting to overcome, the many challenges cancer presents. The Gawler Foundation was formed in 1983 as a non-profit, non-denominational body to further his work. The Gawler name has become well known and respected throughout Australia and internationally as representing a holistic approach to health which improves both quality of life and survival times.
Ian Gawler has studied meditation with Dr Ainslie Meares, Indian, Buddhist, Zen Christian and other Western Meditation Masters. He combines the intellect of the West with the insight of the East.
He has published several books, including You Can Conquer Cancer, Meditation Pure and Simple, The Creative Power of Imagery and Peace of Mind. His 2008 biography, Ian Gawler: The Dragon's Blessing by Guy Allenby is also available - click here for more information
