Ian Gawler is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on February 25, 1950 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Gawler was the son of Billie Gawler (nee Gray), and Alan Gawler in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from the University of Melbourne in 1973, he was a veterinarian in a mixed clinic at Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. He had a particular interest in horses and surgery.
Gawler received some palliative radiotherapy in February 1976. In October 1976, he was treated with three cycles of experimental chemotherapy. He also met Sai Baba in 1977. In 1978, he was declared free from cancer. He was also diagnosed with TB in 1978. This disease responded quickly to traditional treatment and was supported by lifestyle-based self help techniques. Meares documented Gawler’s cancer recovery and 30 years later, he was still living.
In 1981, Gawler co-founded the Melbourne Cancer Support Group, a lifestyle- based self-help program for people with cancer. The 12-week program was based upon Gawler’s beliefs about his own recovery. Participants were taught dietary principles, relaxation, meditation, imagery and pain management skills. Other sessions included techniques to develop emotional health, the power of the mind, philosophy and the capacity to come to terms with and integrate the possibility of dying through cancer.
The program was documented in Gawler’s first self-help book, You Can Conquer Cancer. In 1984, the Gawler Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organisation, was established. The foundation conducts lifestyle-based self- help programs for people affected by cancer and multiple sclerosis, as well as meditation retreats, wellness programs and training and conferences for doctors and other health professionals.
Gawler began intensive meditation in December 1975 with the help of Ainslie Meares (an Australian psychiatrist who believed meditation could alter or cure cancer). He also adopted a Gerson diet, and engaged in research, reflection and personal development. His doctors gave him just a few more weeks to live in February 1976.

In the December 2011, Internal Medicine Journal, the online journal of the Royal Australian College of Physicians, two oncologists, Ian Haines from Cabrini Hospital and Ray Lowenthal from Hobart, published a report that no biopsy of Gawler for secondary cancer had been made and suggested that all of his symptoms were consistent with tuberculosis. In response to this report, Gawler maintained that the diagnosis was confirmed by his eminent team of physicians of the day, and said that they still stand by that diagnosis. He said that Haines and Lowenthal did not consult with any of these people in preparing their speculative hypothesis and, therefore, did not take account of his clinical history or the many diagnostic tests performed and deemed to be adequate by those physicians to confirm the diagnosis. Gawler’s original physicians maintain that the TB developed as a complication of Gawler’s primary cancer, osteogenic sarcoma, probably after chemotherapy weakened his immune system.
