The chances to cure or survive cancer depend to a great extent on individually designed therapy. It is not advisable to completely renounce a conventional medical treatment. But it should be incorporated in an overall therapeutic concept which includes an appropriately handled holistic strategy of treatments. The author describes how he has developed the three therapeutic pillars based on the experiences made in his homeopathic practice over the course of many years. In addition to this conventional treatment of cancer, there are other methods or treatments used as well, like mistletoe therapy, homeopathy and psychotherapy.

Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Stephen L. Dyson examines rural communities as functioning, largely autonomous societies. Dyson traces the major outlines of community development from the end of the war with Hannibal to the early Middle Ages. He shows how local communities responded to changes in the greater Roman society while still retaining their distinctive identity. He examines the "typical" Roman community during the High Empire and explores the life cycle of rural inhabitants, showing how individuals- the aristocrats, the free poor, and the slaves- developed in relation to society as a whole.
