Author: William Keys

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 216


When Sir William Keys' doctors in Australia told him the cancer in his prostate had spread into his lymphatics, they also told him that - while it could be kept in remission for anything from three to fifteen years - it could not be cured. Doctors in China thought differently. They had enjoyed a high rate of success in other similar cases, and believed that the cancer could be eliminated, so - with nothing to lose - Bill and his wife Dulcie travelled to Beijing. Flowers in Winter is the re-creation of four weeks of herbal treatment, of diet, of meditation and of 'chi' - those life forces so vital to any healing process. It is an account of one man's successful battle with a life-threatening illness; a story that uncovers some of the mysteries of an ancient culture and its customs; and, above all, it is a story of determination, of poignancy, of humour, and of love.
