One Woman’s Inspiring Journey to Find a Natural Cure For Breast Cancer
Like a good novelist, Ani Kaspar starts her non-fiction memoir Pelicans, Coconuts & Butterflies in the middle of the action. We first meet her in the emergency room, struggling with breast cancer and septic shock, hooked up to an IV with a temperature of 105, and struggling to breathe while an unconcerned nurse does little to help her.
While this powerful opening scene is a bit in your face, it is understandably and appropriately so. The book’s style becomes gentler and more poetic as it continues, but Ani never fails to express her righteous frustration along the way, both with men who have difficulty loving her because of her illness, and with a health care system that seems more interested in making a buck than finding humane ways to fight breast cancer.

Health Care Reform Benefits to Women
The American health care reform act signed into law on March 2010 means different things to different people. To the women, it’s a great stride to ending gender discrimination prevalent in the insurance market.
It is a known fact that in the past women experience difficulty in accessing health insurance more than their male counterpart. They were made to pay more because of their gender thereby making it impossible for a lot to be covered. If they are pregnant or require an operation during delivery or suffer domestic abuse, they are often denied coverage. Now, American women can heave a sigh of relief because of the benefits coming their way through the health act.
The current law was enacted to be effective in phases. Some have taken off while some will be fully effective in 2014.
