THE BOOK
Radical Healing
A Stage 4 Cancer Survivor's Guide to Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit
A personal, grounded exploration of how true healing emerges when body, mind, and spirit come back into alignment. A practical, evidence-based framework for anyone navigating serious illness — or simply seeking to live with more vitality and purpose.
"Purna does not present himself as a medical authority. He shares his lived experience to empower others facing serious illness to engage actively in their own healing while honoring both medical care and inner wisdom."
The MEDS Framework
Four interconnected pillars — built and lived through, alongside conventional treatment.
Meditation
Medicine for the mind — breathwork and mind-body practices that calm stress, reduce inflammation, and rebuild resilience.
Exercise
Gentle, consistent movement calibrated to your energy — even during treatment.
Diet
Food is the medicine — anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense eating that calms the body and fuels healing, grounded in integrative oncology research.
Sleep
Restorative protocols that support immune function, emotional regulation, and healing.

Praise for Radical Healing
Verified five-star reviews from early readers on Amazon.
"His diagnosis with brain cancer was shocking — but even more shocking, in a positive way, has been his remarkable journey to complete healing. A great training guide for anybody who wants to battle an impossible crisis."
"Far more than a survival story — a masterclass in living. The writing is incredibly readable and pulls you in from the very first chapter. A beautifully written, profoundly uplifting read."
"One of the most powerful autobiographical stories of facing life's challenges with courage and grace. It's a small book, but profound — and it has deeply impressed me."
"Mr. Pareek's story is compelling and inspiring, his writing direct and honest. It helped my family through our own challenging moments. I highly recommend this book!"
"A must-read for anyone facing a serious diagnosis. I admire how open and straightforward he was about his journey, and the notes from his family members were very touching."
"What's new is the emphasis on meditation, and how these four things together put a virtuous cycle in motion. The chapter on Healing the Mind was quite a revelation. Highly recommended — even if you're not facing cancer."
