How to Conquer Cancer, Naturally (The Grape Cure) [Paperback]

Johanna Brandt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1996

A new edition of the 'Grape Cure'. Widely used by holistic health professionals to fight disease, often in patients with 'inoperable cancer'. Grapes contain a very powerful antioxidant that protects your body cells from 'free radicals'. Scientists have given it the name of 'proanthocyanidins', but it is not new. As far back as 1556, books on this wonderful nature cure had been published in various European languages. Dr Brandt was diagnosed with cancer in 1916, shortly after her mother died from cancer. Working with her own diet, fasting, etc, she began to see the relationship of the food she ate to the progression or regression of her cancer. It took nine years to achieve her healing. She discovered that a meat diet perpetuates cancer, a vegetarian diet conquers it, and that organic grapes aid healing. She helped others rid themselves of this deadly disease, left her native South Africa to bring her discovery to the US, and wrote this book. She shares her journey back to wellness in this small, yet remarkable book, reprinted because 'the need is greater than ever for natural discoveries to reach the people'.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Grape Cure is old but still relevant information, September 29, 2005

30 years ago I participated in the Grape Cure diet with a friend who had lymph cancer. After the removal of a lymph tumor, he developed cigar size tumors in the lymph glands under the arms and at the groin line. They completely disappeared after following the Grape Cure fast! Unfortunately my friend was not willing to stay on a raw foods diet, as indicated by the author, and within a year he was dead. I have never forgotten this book, and I was really please to see it was still available though written in 1920. It may not work for everyone, but if I had cancer, I would definately choose grapes over death. If you at all subscribe to "you are what you eat" then you will see the simple logic in purifying this way.

Dr. Brandt's story is simply put and quickly read. It describes not only her cure but also the cures of many others. In fact, a little review on the internet will increase your belief in this method. Chemotherapy and radiation are brought to you by the same people who took away doctors' licenses when they washed their hands between patients. Beware the AMA and FDA. When someone has cancer, I give them this book.
Keep smilin'!

This book originally written in 1920s by Dr. Johanne Brandt is fantastic. Although the reason why red grape juice can cure cancers remained unknown for more than seven decades until 1997, the major anti-cancer ingredient in this grape is now known: a polyphenol called "resveratrol" (R3).

It inhibits a Tyr-kinase called Syk, which is essential for the activation of several oncogenic kinases such as PAK and AKT. Since PAK is essential for the growth of more than 70% of human cancers, red grape juice, red wine, R3 or its derivatives could cure these PAK-dependent cancers. It is also known now that R3 is useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as NF (neurofibromatosis), Alzheimer's (AD), Huntington's (HD) and ALS.

So it would be worth reading this book, just to get a general idea, although the book itself does not tell you much of science (molecular biology of cancer) behind this "miracle" cure. However, I don't think the "fast" a wise approach. Fast should be replaced by a more moderate approach such as "low" (70%) calorie diet.
