How to cure Cancer by Grapes (Angoor)?

                   Grapes Cure Cancer

                A number of experiments  conducted in America to detect any anti-cancer properties of grapes have yielded better than expected results.

                Here is an amazing examples of Mrs. Johanna Brandt who conquered cancer with the grape-fruit diet. This is a living evidence which proves that even woman has firm determination and strong will.

                At her young age, Mrs. Johanna Brandt suddenly developed severe abdominal pain. In the beginning, she restored to domestic remedies and later to modern medicines. But there was no improvement. She was taken to the hospital for further tests. At the end of all different types of tests, the doctors diagnosed the disease as cancer. Johanna and all the members of her family were stuck with grief and fear.

                The doctors advised Johanna to undergo an operation. But Johanna had formally met the persons in whom the cancer had worsened after the operation. She was also aware of the futility of the treatment of cancer by medicines and radiotherapy . So she firmly refused to undergo the customary treatment.

            Johanna had come across a book ‘Fasting Cure’ by Dr. Upton Sinclair. This book inspired her to follow nature-cure. She did multiple short fasts at home. She took food at intervals and resumed fasting. The battle for life lasted for nine years. During every fast, tumour stopped growing but did not totally disappear. After nine years, again an X-ray was taken. It showed that the tumour had been divided into two parts. Doctors advised her to immediately undergo an operation. But Johanna Brandt refused again. She continued fasting. Fasting could check the growth of the tumour but the unbearable abdominal pain continued. Three more years passed in this way.

             Afterwards purely for the sake of an experiment, she began to take grapes alone. This diet proved miraculous. The abdominal pain vanished within a week. Johanna got rid of her cancer just within six weeks. Now there was no trace of tumour in X-ray report. The doctors just could not believe what they saw. After that Mrs. Brandt successfully carried out this grape-juice experiment on a number of patients.

            On the basis of her experience, Mrs. Johanna has written an interesting book  ‘The Grape Cure’. The book has been received warmly by laymen and critics alike and has run into many editions.
