Guest Profile: Dr. Christine Horner
Christine Horner, MD is a nationally known surgeon, author, and professional speaker residing in San Diego, CA. She holds two board certifications: the National Board of Surgery, and the National Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Horner was recognized as a leader in her field shortly after starting her plastic and reconstructive surgery practice because she successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five year crusade -- the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project or BRA Project -- led to the passage of laws in thirty-five states and a federal law. The federal bill was signed into law by President Clinton on October 21, 1998. The law was unprecedented because it was the first law Congress had ever passed requiring insurance companies to pay for a specific surgical procedure. In the early 1990s, Dr. Horner became alarmed over the increasing number of very young women she saw in her practice diagnosed with breast cancer. When her own mother was diagnosed and then died from breast cancer, Dr. Horner began an intensive search of the medical literature to find what -- if anything -- could help prevent breast cancer. What she found was a tremendous amount of little-known research proving that woman can significantly reduce their risk of breast cancer and of most other chronic diseases through natural means: eating the right foods, exercising, sleeping during the ideal hours, and using techniques of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (herbs, supplements, meditation, detoxification and purification techniques etc.). From that moment Dr. Horner incorporated all of these techniques into her own life and then became passionate about teaching others how to stay healthy naturally.Dr. Horner’s book, Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr Christine Horner’s Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer , was released in the spring of 2005 and describes all the research-proven natural approaches--foods, supplements, herbs and activities--that dramatically protect against breast cancer.Her latest book, Radiant Health, Ageless Beauty sums up with Dr. Horner's 30-Day program for extraordinary health, beauty and longevity. Each day presents a new habit for you to implement into your life. An extensive resource section lists contacts for obtaining all the foods, supplements, products and programs that can stack all the odds in your favor of enjoying a long life and staying vibrant, strong, and happy.
