When Dr. Elior Kinarthy retired from California to the seaside city of Victoria, British Columbia, he was soon faced with a daunting challenge. Diagnosed with prostate cancer, he began a fifteen-year journey to finding the treatment plan that would save his life. By altering and augmenting advice by his oncologists, he created an anti-cancer lifestyle with alternative medicine and supplements. He eventually discovered the Gorter Model of holistic immunotherapy in Cologne, Germany, and has been cancer-free ever since. Now eighty-three, he offers hope to cancer patients and encourages them to use innovative approaches to treatment as they strengthen their bodies, minds, and spirits and walk toward a brighter, healthier future.

Cancer, one of the largest threats to our modern society, is increasing-especially in highly developed countries of economic success. There may be a reason for this. In spite of millions of dollars spent yearly in research and development, we have not found an ultimate cure. We still rely on three methods: operation, radiation and chemotherapy, which may have fair results, but come with seriously damaging side effects.This book is not intended to describe a medical method, nor is it trying to replace the medical procedures, although it might do just that. It is a book of one holistic approach, attempting to give help to our body, or ease the side effects caused by other medical procedures. The method described here is derived from the standpoint that we all possess extraordinary healing power given to us by nature, within ourselves.".I was suffering from recurrent ovarian cancer.almost immediately after my first session with Kazuko, my energy picked up, my appetite returned, my indigestion stopped and the fluid in my abdomen subsided.it is obvious that the tumor I have in my pelvic area has shrunk dramatically from this therapy.I am forever grateful to Kazuko and will spread the news of this non-toxic, rejuvenating therapy that can help ailments of all kinds." -Excerpt fromOvercoming Cancer and Other Diseases in a Holistic Way

Cancer is the Number Two cause of death in the U.S. The "Grape Cure" is widely used by holistic health professionals to fight disease, even "inoperable cancer." Grapes contain very powerful antioxidants called proanthocyanidins that protect your cells from "free radicals." As far back as 1556, books on this wonderful nature cure were published in European languages. Dr. Brandt was diagnosed with cancer shortly after her mother died from cancer. Working with her own diet and fasting, she saw how food was related to the progression or remission of her cancer. She discovered that a meat diet perpetuates cancer, a vegetarian diet conquers it, and that organic grapes aid healing. It took nine years to achieve her healing. She then helped save others from this deadly disease, and shared her journey back to wellness in this small, yet remarkable book, because "the need is greater than ever for natural discoveries to reach the people."

As a top academician, Mina Dobic led a privileged life, but that changed when she was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer that had metastasized to her liver, bones, and lymph system. Given two months to live by her physicians, Mina rejected conventional treatments and decided to adopt macrobiotics. Six months later, Mina Dobic was cancer free. My Beautiful Life both explains how Mina recovered from cancer and details how cancer can be prevented through diet and a philosophy of living in balance with nature.

Shortly after her thirty-seventh birthday, Wall Street Journal reporter and editor Laura Landro was told that she had chronic myelogenous leukemia. Survivor is the remarkable account of her battle against this devastating, potentially fatal cancer -- and her successful struggle to take control of her own case. At first almost paralyzed with fear when diagnosed with this form of blood cancer, Landro resolved to use her journalistic training to seek out the treatment that would give her the best shot at surviving. Noting that most Americans spend more time researching what kind of car to buy than they do their health care, she shows how and why all patients can -- and must -- arm themselves with the facts, learn to understand medical jargon, get doctors to answer all their questions in layman's terms, weigh conflicting medical opinions, and make the difficult choice among the options open to them. Landro's inspiring story offers all readers hope and the know-how to navigate the terrifying and bewildering world of medicine, even when they are very ill and at their most vulnerable.
