With chronic diseases on the rise across Australia, along with a deluge of well-meaning but often misleading advice, the search for answers can be frustrating and disappointing.

– What if there is no cure?

– How can you improve your family's quality of life now?

– How can you bridge the divide between medicine and complementary therapies, enjoying the best of both worlds?

– And how can you face these challenges with resilience and optimism?

When Margaret Cox gave birth to three beautiful boys, all conceived through IVF, she and her husband had no idea how soon their world would be tumbling down around them.

In 2008, their son Matthew was diagnosed with Autism. In 2010, Margaret was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. The disasters kept coming, and the challenges seemed insurmountable.

In 2011, Matthew's twin brother, Jacob, began to have absence seizures. In spite of medication, the seizures continued and Jacob was diagnosed with epilepsy. Matthew's diagnosis was upgraded in severity to include intellectual impairment.

Desperation has fuelled their quest for a better quality life. In her book, Margaret pulls together pieces of the puzzle for a multifaceted approach including superior nutrition, natural therapies, conventional medicine, and a positive mindset.

'A Mum's Perspective on Living with Chronic Illness' is an honest account of one family's journey through agony and heartbreak to hope and transformation.
