After chemotherapy left him drained and still sick, he embarked on an alternative path to recovery that, against all odds, healed him both physically and spiritually.<\/p>\n
Joseph is no ordinary entrepreneur. He\u2019s an environmental consultant who decided to create a \u201cborrow and pay back\u201d company for musicians in New Orleans, whose friends started a Go Fund Me to help fund his alternative treatments in Germany, who openly cries out of gratitude without prodding.<\/p>\n
Readers have fallen in love with Joseph and his story. \u201cInformative and uplifting,\u201d \u201ca testimonial on taking back your life,\u201d \u201cmoving and helpful,\u201d \u201chonest and emotional\u201d and \u201craw and inspiring\u201d are just a few of the comments that reviewers have made.<\/p>\n
Joseph was the first patient to be interviewed by two of the leading pancreatic cancer researchers in the country on The Pancreatic Cancer Podcast and his book has been excerpted by the environmental non-profit NatureBridge.<\/p>\n
Experts have also embraced Joseph\u2019s tale. \u201cHeartwarming, funny and engaging, Chris Joseph gives us one of the best kept secrets of being a successful cancer patient: take action and become the CEO of your own medical path,\u201d says Pamela Varady, PsyD. \u201cChris Joseph draws a map from one devastating diagnosis to empowered wellness, documenting some of the routes patients can take around the worst obstacles,\u201d says Kimberly Kaye, FMHC and patient advocate.<\/p>\n
\u201cChris Joseph is a wonder,\u201d says Launch Pad publisher Anna David. \u201cHe wrote his book and pursued publication with such a passion that it\u2019s no wonder he beat cancer. I\u2019m actually convinced Chris Joseph could beat anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
