What You Wish For - One Man's Guide to Life, Death and Alternative Therapies

Published by Blacklow Educational Trust, , 2009, 209 pages.

When Paul Blacklow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease just after his marriage at the age of 31, he refused to accept the prognosis that he would die within five years. Instead he delved into the world of alternative therapies, exploring physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. By the time of his death, aged 35, he had learned much about healing, about himself and began writing a book to share what he had learned. He also asked his therapists to contribute chapters. After his death, his wife Julianne fulfilled her promise to him that his book would be completed and commissioned journalist Rebecca Hayter to conduct further interviews with his therapists, family and friends, and integrate this material with Paul's story. The result is an inspiring read about love, family, friendship, commitment and alternative therapies.
