1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, even at low price, April 7, 2007

This 42 page booklet says nothing more than a raw foods diet is good for you. It does not suggest whether specific raw foods combat cancer more effectively than others or whether any combination of fruits vegetables are more effective either. It contains no recipes, no food lists, no specific advice. All it says is 1) eat raw fruit in the morning and evening; 2) raw vegetables at lunch; 3) get lots of sunlight. That's it, I just saved you $3.95.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, April 2, 2009

By 

P. J. Sullivan (Northern California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Raw Food Treatment of Cancer (Paperback)

I have an undated edition of this booklet, and don't know if it has since been updated. My copy describes events that happened in the 1940s. I don't agree with everything in it. She recommends lots of sun bathing, a bad idea in these days of ozone depletion. Maybe it was not as harmful in Denmark, where she practiced, or early and late in the day. She claims that "our patients are fortified by their diet against the more intense rays of the sun."

Her use of milk, potatoes, and dried grains, even in their raw state, is not good policy in cancer. The casein in milk is contra-indicated, according to some modern sources, because it promotes rapid cell growth. She strongly recommends garlic, calling it a miracle food, which it is not. The Natural Hygiene school regards garlic as toxic, and it is for me. She makes some interesting observations about cancer and raw foods, and her regimen has a lot to recommend it, but this booklet is mostly argument and testimonial. She claims that she had a large malignant tumor that diminished in size and was "converted into the most benign form in existence." If true, she must have been doing something right, and this booklet does tell you what she did and did not do. It is significant that she did not use supplements or vitamin cocktails, as are often used today. Raw food was the basis of her cure.

the work is only a short pamphlet, not a book. however, it's my own fault for not noticing the number of pages. otherwise, it arrived on time and in good shape.
