The Living Ancestor™




When you are facing a life-threatening illness, it’s hard to know where to turn. One thing’s for sure: you can’t count on your doctor to magically “fix” everything. According to author Kevin W. Fergusson, M.D., you must take charge of your own health. In this unique and compelling book, he shares 17 lessons for working with the medical system so you can get the best possible care.

These lessons are conveyed within a story about a man, Tom Chance, whose wife discovers a malignant lesion on his neck. During this frightening time, he meets the enigmatic Dr. Jian-Shou Kong, a Chinese physician and teacher whose ancestry dates back more than 2000 years. (He is the “living ancestor” in the book’s title.) Dr. Kong teaches Tom a timeless approach to healthcare that combines the wisdom of the East with the knowledge of Western medicine.

Whether you are fighting a serious illness or working hard to prevent one, you’ll appreciate the revelations in this remarkable book. It will forever change the way you view the doctor-patient relationship–and it may help you live a longer, healthier life.
