Indiegogo Campaign for Healing with the 7 Principles of Mindfulness

Draft Book Cover by Micah

The Indiegogo campaign for Healing with the 7 Principles of Mindfulness launched today. When you visit the site, you will be greeted by an extremely powerful video from 1980. It is a clip from an episode of In Search of … with Leonard Nemoy (Dr. Spock). It tells the story of the (miraculous ?) recovery of Micah Freedman from metastatic kidney cancer (a Wilm’s tumor) which had metastasized to his lungs.

Micah’s dad (that would be me) began investigating alternatives during the time Micah was in surgery and taught him how to do “mind stories” while he was recovering. Nobody thought he would survive. We hired Dr. Sheldon Ruderman, a psychologist and a cancer survivor trained by Dr. O. Carl Simonton, to continue working with Micah using “mind stories”.

No one knows how or why Micah survived. Some call it a miracle, but we like to think that combining alternative medical practices with the surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy that he received was the key to his recovery.

The Indiegogo campaign for Healing with the 7 Principles of Mindfulness is designed to raise money to buy hopefully hundreds or even thousands of books to distribute to the people who need them the most – people living with or newly diagnosed with cancer and their families and caretakers. We hope to send many copies to organizations like the Simonton Cancer Center as well as research institutions, oncology departments, cancer care centers, and anywhere else we can think of.

What People are Saying

“Jerome Freeman’s “Healing with the Seven Principles of Mindfulness” is a user-friendly approach to make practical (very practical!) specific things that can empower each person to achieve higher levels of health.  These principles are not just logical and rational, they work…and they just feel ‘right.’  These principles will not only improve your health, they will improve your life!”

–Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH Author of 10 books, including two that contain a Foreword by the Physician to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, “The Homeopathic Revolution,” “Discovering Homeopathy,” and “Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines” (co-authored with Stephen Cummings, MD)

I have reviewed your Indiegoogo campaign page and book. Miracle! Truly, the story of your son will touch the hearts of millions.

Your vision of the book being available to those diagnosed with Cancer is admirable, and something that I greatly align myself with. As someone who recently started meditating, I see the healing effects of mediation, and would love to share it with the world.

This book is great! Dr.Freedman allows the reader to journey with him as he harnesses the power of mindfulness to heal himself from Cancer. He also brings the reader along with him as he carefully and meticulously considers the many options of both alternative and traditional healing approaches. The Seven Steps is both “practical” and “spiritual”. Especially the part of having your friends and loved ones being an essential part of your healing journey. Would recommend this book to people going through health challenges, as well as r those who want to obtain a greater insight into the power of mindfulness.
