Johanna Brandt - cure of cancer

JohannaBrandt: Cure of cancer 

Johanna Brandt was born in South Africa in 1876. There was a lot of cancer in her family and her mother died of cancer. Doctors say that the disease is not hereditary. But she believed that the predisposing causes of cancer in her mother’s body might have been present in her own. 

            She suffered from gastric trouble, bilious attacks and stomach ulcers. She had a gnawing pain at the left side of her stomach. If it were cancer she had decided that no medicines, no injections, no drugs and no operation would be taken. 

            She read  “ The Fasting Cure,” by Upton Sinclair. It made sense to her, has she believed in healing naturally. 

            She fasted for seven days but nothing happened. She fasted again and persuaded everyone else to fast. She seemed to be able to cure everyone except herself. In her home she had the best American books and magazines based on natural cures. She wrote books and answered thousands of letters, but she knew her internal trouble remained.  

            She kept on fasting until starvation point but it was useless because she took the wrong foods. 

            The growth continued toward the heart and left lung. One night Johanna had a terrible attack of vomiting and purging with pain. In the morning she brought up a quantity of half digested blood. After suffering a great deal she finally sent for a doctor. He persuaded her to take examinations and she went to the hospital. An immediate operation was recommended in order to carry on living. This she refused. She fasted three weeks, drinking pure water only and lying in the sun. After six months, examinations revealed no trace of growth, although she carried on feeling pain. 

            During the three years that followed she kept on fasting and dieting. Then she accidentally discovered a food that had the power of healing her completely in six weeks. 

             Grapes - were Johanna’s greatest discovery. She made several tests on herself and later on described the method of healing with grapes. The Grape Cure was then spread all over the world and has been responsible for the cure of many people. 

            Johanna tried to obtain support of the scientific community but it was denied. Several doctors gave her a hand and she managed to take her message to all those who were willing to hear her.
