When he almost lost his life in 2012, holistic medical practitioner Dr. Steven Sommer, became inspired and determined to share his experience and knowledge before his life was done. The result is this, his first book, Finding Hope. In it, he shares his patients' and his own personal journey exploring how to defy the odds with Meditation as medicine, Lifestyle as therapy, Mind-body weaving, Epigenetics, Complementary therapies, Humor that heals, Fecal transplantation, Judgement and enlightenment and Dying well.

Gathering examples and research from illnesses such as Cancer, Heart Disease, Parkinson’s, MS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, he synthesizes the key principles for finding and maintaining hope for better health in the face of such serious challenges.

In a very readable and at times humorous presentation, his words will connect with readers looking for hope. This is an informative, well-researched (with over 700 references), and emotionally touching book.
