Thank you, dear readers, for these comments. To know that the book is helping you to change your own life story is the greatest gift an author can receive.

Sometimes I have to re-read a line or close the book, it is that powerful to my soul. Someone understands what I am feeling. I am on this journey . Donna is taking me to and opening doors to my healing. I am so grateful for this book. It has changed my life forever.

… the title drew me in as I am so desperate for that last best cure. I sat down and began to read… reading about ACE and how you can change your pathways to new pathways, well it was just overwhelming. And important. And profound. I had to put it down and breathe …

I opened my copy last night and read at least 4 chapters. And then cried my eyes out. Looking back at my life I realize how much time I have spent in the fight or flight mode. And continue to do so to this day. In fact I am dripping tears writing this post ... I know I am not the only one out there who will benefit from this book to make a change leading to better health and less pain. Donna thank you for sharing your journey… I am more grateful that you will ever know.

I have only read a bit into the first chapter and I’m already hooked. I’ve got my highlighter in hand …
Kathryn
Such an amazing thing. I can’t remember the last time I cried and laughed at a non-fiction book. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
Sandy
… just finished reading your book and loved it! Beautiful combination of intimate personal insights with extensive scientific research. Reading it is like having conversation with a friend over a cup of tea :).

Hi Donna, Just read the first chapters of your new book …Please let me know if you do workshops or small group shares. I could fill the room …

Greetings, Donna. Started reading your new book last night and couldn’t put it down. Already, I can tell there is so much hope and practical solutions contained in its pages. Thanks for sharing yourself — and all you know — with us.

I am a 44 yr old mom who was recently diagnosed with scleroderma — the future felt bleak until I read The Autoimmune Epidemic and now I am reading The Last Best Cure – The Last Best Cure is exactly what I was looking for. I am NOT going to sit back and wait for something to happen to me – I am going to be proactive and reclaim my life – I find your story very inspiring.
Barbara
Very enlightening – I am highlighting all over the place!
Kathy
I have no idea how I found your Facebook page, but it was an immediate decision to buy your book! Something led me here today and I’m happy for that!
Peggy
I am fascinated! Knowing all you have gone through and embarking on a year long journey of discovery is one of the bravest undertakings of all. It surely is resonating with me. There are so many insights of yours that just touch my heart…
Peggy (again, two days later):
I wanted to share that I just finished Chapter 17. It took a while as it is difficult to read when tears are flowing down your face! Yours is one of the most amazing, not to mention informative, books I have read in years. Thank you!

Hi Donna! I loved The Autoimmune Epidemic. I am reading The Last Best Cure and I’m astonished at how much the brain has to do with healing… It takes so much dedication to write a book and the process is even more intense when you aren’t always feeling well. This book will be a huge success.

..As the pages unfolded, I realized that your desire to find joy and move past pain …was EXACTLY the place I find myself in at this point in my life… this book helped me to understand, finding joy is like taking a vitamin that’s as protective as any medicine in our medicine cabinet...I will honestly be recommending this book to all my friends and will be buying more than a few copies next week to give as gifts!
Nicole
I would love to see you come and visit our local bookstore! Thank you for all your hard work!
Stephanie
This is a book that anyone would benefit from reading, it reminds people that there is hope, and there can always be a “last best cure”. You might just need to take the chance as Donna did, and you might find yourself living a life of more joy.

… to experience the ups and downs of your personal journey in such a compelling, heartfelt and earnest recounting is enormously satisfying on so many levels. We laugh, we cry, but more importantly we learn and share in the joy that you experience with improved physical, emotional and spiritual being. We are enormously fortunate that you embarked on this quest and that you have so skillfully shared your story with us.
Eliza
I am really inspired by your writing… I intend to be part of the change, as the Gandhi quote says, on the cutting edge of future medical professionals writing the future of medicine as we learn to maintain health and prevent disease, rather than merely treating it. Rock on! I hope to meet you at some point in the future on this path.

Last night I went through the first 30 pages. I wept a long time. It is a beautiful book. It is deeply profound. SO thankful for this book. So glad you wrote it. For me, it is like a gift falling into my lap at the time when I am grasping for more tools. Lucky me. Expect people to have very personal experience with it!
Renee
Hello Donna, I would just like to thank you for writing, “The Last Best Cure.” Your book has inspired me to stay motivated and determined to achieve optimal health and happiness.
Dinah
Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. The way that you weaved personal stories with science touched both my heart and mind. After a personal health scare that I am still working through, this was just the right book at just the right time. Thank you for such a wonderful book.
Suzanne
Thanks for the book and the evidence-based new medicine. I am excited to learn there is more to medicine than drugs to treat symptoms. Your book was inspirational…
Anna (another Anna!)
I just fell in love with your story. On two levels … First, the science is riveting and I found it echoed many of my own issues …. Second, the book read like a detective novel, as you tried to piece together the relationship between the past and not only your present chronic health issues but also your difficulty in finding joy… It was as much a healing experience for me as it was a great read. I loved it!
Mandy
This is one of those books that when you are done you are still thinking about for days…I don’t want to give to much away, but I really could do a study group chapter to chapter! My husband was making fun of me furiously making notes in the margins and anywhere I could find space. If anyone is interested in a dialogue about anything in this book please comment. I would love to see what your take on it is! YogaAddicted http://bit.ly/160dgGY

Donna Nakazawa’s book The Last Best Cure should be a textbook for life.
Arline
I know it wasn’t by chance that I picked-up your book…tonight after reading another chapter I realized how mind blowing this “Mind Healing” idea is! WOW!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. The Last Best Cure will be a silent revolution until the science in it becomes mainstream fact. You have touched so many…it was a pleasure to read and take this journey with you.
Karen
I have re-read parts of the book over and over again … amazing. The “forgiven” part really resonated. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
