Johanna Brandt was born in South Africa in 1876. There was a lot of cancer in her family and her mother died of cancer. She also contracted cancer and desperately seeked for a natural cure since she believed in this kind of healing. She was determined not to undertake any kind of chemical treatment.

The Grape Cure is a result of many experiences she undertook in order to discover the healing power of grapes and describe the method.

The grape cure is based on the consumption of exclusively grapes during a period that can go from a week or two or extended to a month or two. This diet must not be extended longer under any circumstances and should be supervised by a doctor.

Directions for “ The Grape Cure” according to Johanna Brandt

To prepare the system for the change of diet, the better practice is to fast for two or three days, drinking plenty of pure, water and a daily enema of lukewarm water with the juice of one lemon.

This fast can avoid complications, for the stomach is cleared of poisons and fermentation. In this way grapes can begin their work more quickly.

After the fast the patient drinks one or two glasses of pure cold water the first thing in the morning.

 Starting the diet

Half an hour later the patient has his first meal of grapes. These must be very well washed and some of the seeds can be swallowed and chewed as food and roughage.

The meal can be done every two hours. This can be kept up for a week to two months.

Any kind of grapes can be used and variety can keep it from being monotonous as well as provide the body with different elements.

Johanna believed that initially it is better to take small quantities of grapes and later the quantity can be increased. A minimum of one pound (0.454kg) should be used daily and a maximum of four pounds (1.816 kg) that should not be exceeded.

Many different reactions may occur during the diet for the body is following a cleansing period. Weight loss is quite excessive during the diet.

After the diet there must be a gradual introduction of other fresh fruits, sour milk or cottage cheese.

It is important to carry on having grapes in the morning followed by other fruits during the day.

The following foods and diets were prescribed by Johanna to give an idea of how to follow meals during the day.

08.00 am - grapes

10.00 am - pear, banana or peaches.

12.00 am - grapes

02.00 pm - sour milk, buttermilk, or cottage cheese

04.00 pm - grapes

06.00 pm - orange, grapefruit, plums or apricots.

08.00 pm - grapes

 A raw diet can also be followed - This includes every food that can be eaten uncooked – raw vegetables, salads, fruits, nuts, raisins, dates, figs and other dried fruits, cottage cheese, sour milk, yogurt and buttermilk, honey and olive oil. In order to digest vegetables it is necessary to have a longer period of digestion before the next meal.

The mixed diet – by adopting this diet sometimes the old problem can return and therefore patients will prefer the raw diet. But if the cure has been complete this diet can be followed.

A fruit breakfast,you can each has much has you like of only one kind;

A cooked meal;

A salad supper;

 Johanna defended the importance of putting into practice and keeping in mind the following Seven Doctors of Nature, by cancer patients.

If weakness develops in this diet it is due to the poisons circulating threw the blood stream, rather than a lack of food. Dizziness, increased pains in the joints and vomiting may occur but these are normal according to Johanna.
