“Dr. Angie Choi provides a detailed report on how she used non-toxic metabolic therapy for managing her ovarian cancer. She was able to translate scientific information from published clinical and preclinical studies into a logical and effective treatment strategy for managing her cancer. The scientific and spiritual stress management strategies she employed are presented in clear language and, when followed, will give hope to cancer patients for improving their quality of life and overall survival.” -Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD, Professor and Author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management and Prevention of Cancer

“Angie Choi approached her cancer diagnosis as an opportunity for healing, digging deep into the physical nature of the disease and its treatment while also honoring insights into her human nature that nourished her spiritually. Through this synergy, she repaired and rebuilt the balance she needed to thrive. Through her narrative, she shares in intimate detail the steps she took as she moved along this intensely personal path to healing. There are gems here for every reader!” -Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, Author of Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy

About the Book
Whole New Me confirms that a complementary approach to cancer that uses both alternative and conventional medicine can result in remission.

You’ve heard of standard cancer treatment options like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but aren’t there other things you could do too? If you’re wondering what some of those options are or trying to decide whether to use alternative medicine for cancer, this book provides an intimate account of Dr. Angie Choi’s healing process as she forged a complementary path to remission. This book affirms that it is possible to heal, and there are other things you can do in addition to standard treatment. Three years post diagnosis, the author remains in remission.

The successful strategies the author used included surgery, a metabolic approach to cancer, a therapeutic ketogenic diet, antiparasitic medication repurposed for cancer (Joe Tippens protocol), supplements, contemplation, intuition, meditation, and yoga. In the process, the author navigated working with conventional and alternative health practitioners as she advocated for herself and forged her own complementary path in the wilderness of cancer.

What makes this book unique is that it also presents how cancer affects the whole person – mind, body, and soul – and that healing is holistic too. Dr. Choi discusses how cancer grew from an imbalance at all levels of being and healed by rebalancing. The book is presented in three sections: body, mind, and spirit and is presented through the lens of Indian spirituality.

Dr. Choi wrote this book because she wanted to spread awareness of cancer being a metabolic disease so that cancer patients could address the root cause of the disease. When you address the root cause instead of merely suppressing symptoms, actual healing can occur. She also couldn’t find many books describing how cancer affects the mind and soul and vice versa. The mental and spiritual aspects of being have healing potential because they are connected to the body. Just as there are alternatives to treating cancer, there are other “spaces” in a human being beyond the body that amplify healing.

Whole New Me is for cancer patients and cancer caregivers and provides an intimate account of a holistic, integrative approach to cancer. It provides support for those who seek alternative treatments to cancer or who desire to integrate complimentary approaches like a therapeutic ketogenic diet with standard treatment. For those with ovarian cancer, it provides a complete account from cancer diagnosis to remission.
