This personal account tells of Beata Bishop's successful fight against cancer using the Gerson therapy. Given six months to live in 1981, she attended the Gerson clinic in Mexico to learn the techniques of dietetics and psychotherapy, and her survival proves that this non-orthodox treatment works. The therapy is designed to purge the body of toxins and encourage it to heal itself. It requires total commitment and great determination, but - for the author - resulted in a genuine cure with new-found health and vitality. The book offers an alternative and inexpensive weapon against hitherto intractable health problems.
