When it comes to health—especially something as complex as cancer—the advice can often feel overwhelming, contradictory, and difficult to navigate.

Me, My Cells, and I offers a different way of thinking.

Written from the perspective of someone facing advanced prostate cancer, this book documents Dave Ames’ journey to better understand his condition—not just through conventional medical pathways, but by exploring how the body works at a cellular level. His central idea is both simple and compelling: when your cells function more effectively—particularly in how they use oxygen—your overall health and energy can improve.

Rather than rejecting mainstream medicine, Ames takes an integrative approach. He combines conventional treatments such as radiation and pharmaceuticals with nutritional strategies, lifestyle changes, and complementary practices including Qi Gong. Throughout, he continually asks a practical question: how does this choice affect the body’s ability to produce and use energy?

Why This Book Matters

For many people, the most difficult part of a serious diagnosis is not just the condition itself—but knowing what to do next.

This book doesn’t claim to offer a single answer. Instead, it provides a framework for thinking more clearly about options, asking better questions, and taking a more active role in your own care.

For therapists and rehabilitation professionals, it offers useful perspective on how clients interpret medical information, make decisions, and integrate different approaches to health. For individuals, it provides a grounded, human account of navigating illness with curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to explore.
