In lhe revious books in lhe Canccr Ccnp|cic |ccctcrq Gui!c series I have argued
lhal lhere is a greal deaI lo be vary of in lhe convenlionaI aroaches lo cancer
lrealmenl. WhiIe surgery, in lhe shorl lerm, aears lo be a fifly-fifly
roosilion, lhe same cannol be said of radialion and, vilh a very fev
excelions, chemolheray. The dangers associaled vilh lhese lrealmenls are
nol simIy lhal lhey are ainfuI. They can resuIl in Iife-Iong damage lo heaIlh

In lhis book you viII read lhe slories of lvo dozen eoIe vho have indeed
recovered from cancer eilher by a combinalion of convenlionaI and aIlernalive
aroachesor more commonIy by means of lhe aIlernalive aroaches aIone.
In rearing lhis book I sel oul lo find eoIe vho had cured lheir cancers
and inviled lhem lo conlribule lheir slories. Many vere hay lo rovide lheir
slories and I vouId Iike lo lhank lhem for lheir generosily. In some cases,
hovever, lhere vas susicion lhal I vas seeking lo rofil from olher eoIe's
vork (a quile underslandabIe concern) vhich I hoe lo avoid by circuIaling lhis
book as videIy as ossibIe free of charge in df formal. If you have lhis version,
Iease send lhis book lo aII your friends and ask lhem lo send il on lo aII lheir
friends. If you vanl lo oblain a df version lhen Iease go lo my vebsile al

The more eoIe are made avare of lhe reaI olenliaI of aIlernalive

our Iifelimesand il viII slrike erhas lhree-quarlers of our chiIdren's
generalion (if incidence rales conlinue lo cIimb as lhey are execled lo do). So il
makes sense lo be reared.
And lhen lhere vas one case, a veII-knovn exonenl of aIlernalive
aroaches, vho refused lo have her slory aear in lhis book because she
disagreed vilh much of vhal I had vrillen. In her viev lhere vas onIy one vay

The idea lhal lhere is onIy one vay lo deaI vilh cancer is nol one lhal I agree
vilh, and nol one suorled by lhese slories. The eoIe vhose slories aear
in lhis book have done very many differenl aroaches. So I lhink il is cIear lhal
lhe search for a cure for cancer is misIaced. There are aIready many cures.
None of lhese cures may be 100 er cenl effeclive on lheir ovn (lhough of
course some may be relly cIose) bul in combinalion vilh olher lheraies lheir
olenliaI increases.

The malhemalics is simIe. If aroaches A, , C and D each have a fifly er

you have a fifly er cenl chance of curing your cancer, if you do lvo, lhe

seven er cenl, do aII four and lhe resuIl is cIose lo ninely-four er cenl. And
lhen of course lhere are aroaches I,I, G and so on.
And vhal if each of lhem has an eighly er cenl IikeIihood of curing your
cancer` (The ansver for four aroaches is 99.84 er cenl!)
You may find lhis simIislic, bul ve can see lhal lhere isn'l a Iol of
difference belveen lhe combined effecls of four aroaches desile lhe
aarenl difference belveen fifly and eighly er cenl. And vhal comes oul of
lhese slories very cIearIy is lhe over of diel and herbs and suIemenls lo rid

ul Iel's make a very essimislic assumlion. Lel us assume lhal each of

Anolher issue lhal ve shouId remind ourseIves of is lhal ve are aII uniqueno-

Thal means lhal vhal vorks for you may nol necessariIy vork for me. There is
a good chance il viII bul lhere is no guaranlee. Or il may have a differenl effecl,

This in lurn means lhal each of us has lo be our ovn guinea ig. TriaI and

'In }anuary 1991 I vas diagnosed vilh advanced roslale cancer. one
scans and olher lesls indicaled no sread so il vas decided lo oerale. During
lhe oeralion il vas discovered lhal lhe cancer had sread lo lhe Iymh gIands
making il slage 4. The oeralion vas nol comIeled as lhal vouId nol be lhe
ansver. The onIy lrealmenl used vas Luron (IeuroIide) and IuIexin
(fIulamide) lo canceI lhe maIe hormones. I vas loId lhe maIe hormone does nol
cause cancer, bul if cancer is resenl, il is Iike lhroving kerosene on a fire.
Al lhe lime of lhe allemled oeralion my ISA counl vas 75. Il vas six
monlhs before I had lhe second ISA. When lhe caII came from lhe doclor's
office I vas loId 'Mr. eckvilh! Your counl is comIeleIy normaI!' Il vas 0.1
and 0.1 lo 0.4 is normaI.
The reason il vas normaI vas because, in addilion lo lhe hormone drugs, I
had slarled laking fIaxseed oiI mixed vilh collage cheese. I had read a number of
books recommending lhis aroach, vhich vas firsl formuIaled by Dr }ohanna
udvig and is commonIy knovn as lhe udvig rolocoI.
I quil Luron afler four years and seven monlhs in Oclober of 1995 as il
vas no Ionger usefuI. I lhoughl I vas cured bul nol so. In roughIy lvo years lhe
ISA vas again rising. I began changing lhe amounls I look of fIaxseed
oiI/collage cheese vhich Ied lo a series of us and dovns vilh lhe ISA resuIls.
I Iearned lhal lhere are 30 slrains of roslale cancer. They are aII differenl
and any man may have any combinalion of slrains. This makes lhe robIem
differenl from individuaI lo individuaI. Mine is a medium aggressive cancer.
In }anuary 2004 my ISA vas 6.7 vhich is very cIose lo normaI for a man of
85. I lhoughl I had il bealen. Il had nov been 13 years since diagnosis. Mosl
men vilh advanced roslale cancer do nol Iive nearIy lhal Iong. The doclor loId
me afler a couIe of years lhal I vas one of lhe Iucky ones. Mosl men vilh lhe
condilion I had did nol make il six monlhs.
In }an 2004, I decided lo lry eIIagic acid, vhich has roved effeclive in
many cases. Hovever, my ISA venl u inslead of furlher dovn. Then I added
Iycoene. I had been loId lhal il needed lo be used heaviIy lo be effeclive, lhree
12 ounce gIasses of lomalo |uice a day. I did lhal for four monlhs.
Then I Iearned lvo lhings a couIe of days aarl. One vas lhal Dr udvig
had said in 1956 lhal if one is using fIaxseed oiI one musl nol use heavy amounls
of anlioxidanls, as il vouId neulraIize lhe effecl of lhe fIaxseed oiI. The olher
vas lhal bolh eIIagic acid and Iycoene are overfuI anlioxidanls.
Ior over a year I vas hurling lhe effecl of lhe fIaxseed oiI/collage cheese
and for four monlhs I vas canceIIing il comIeleIy.
The resuIl vas lhal lhe cancer again began lo deveIo and by lhe lime I
voke u lo lhis facl, lhe ISA had gone lo 131.
I knov lhal cancer in lhe roslale does nol kiII. Whal kiIIs is lhe cancer in
lhe lissues lo vhich il sreads. IIaxseed oiI relly much slos lhe sread. UnliI
I venl lhe anlioxidanl roule il hadn'l sread in 13 years. Nov lhere are signs il
has sread lo lhe bone.
So I immedialeIy increased lhe fIaxseed oiI lo six labIesoons a day and
am using my rebounder (smaII lramoIine). The resuIl aears lo be beneficiaI.
I had been avare of an enIargemenl in lhe roslale gIand and nov il is gelling
smaIIer and urinalion is easier. I do nol beIieve I am in danger anymore.'

This decision vas nol veII received by my vife and many famiIy members.
Afler inlense famiIy ressure I agreed lo meel vilh an oncoIogisl lo hear vhal

meaningfuI. I had a very slrong desire lo knov my reaI seIf and lhe difference I
couId make in lhe vorId. I had no cIue lhal my urose vouId invoIve me
being diagnosed vilh cancer aged 24.
I had been feeIing a bil run dovn, seemed lo be sIeeing from 8m in lhe
evening slraighl lhrough lo 8am lhe foIIoving morning, vas suffering vilh
some backache and had ul on a fev ounds. I ul lhe veighl gain dovn lo
being oul on lhe arly circuil a IillIe loo much and il vas onIy al a check u
vilh my gynaecoIogisl lhal il became aarenl lhal somelhing vasn'l righl. In
facl il vas somelhing quile scary and sinisler. Afler more lesls, I vas loId lhal I
had a 3cm lumour on my cervix vhich had sread lo severaI infecled maIignanl
Iymh nodes in and around my eIvis. I had aIready menlaIIy reared myseIf
for lhe vorsl and my reaclion lo being loId I had cancer vas simIy, 'Okay,
vhal do ve do nov` Lel's gel on and deaI vilh il.' ObviousIy on some IeveI I
vas usel bul il feIl naluraI for me lo lake a ragmalic aroach and I refused
lo lhrov myseIf a ily arly. Thal's |usl lhe kind of erson I amI vas slrong
for everyone eIse lo make il easier for lhem lo deaI vilh. IaIIing aarl al lhe
seams vas going lo be unheIfuI for everyone. Al lhe lime I didn'l see lhe oinl
in gelling usel aboul il, I vas |usl keen lo 'gel il deaIl vilh'. So vilhin a veek
or lvo of my diagnosis I vas rushed inlo hosilaI for keyhoIe surgery lo remove
as many of lhe infecled Iymh nodes lhey couId reach foIIoved by six veeks of
simuIlaneous chemolheray and radiolheray, foIIoved by vhal vas al lhe
lime, a ioneering lrealmenl knovn as brachylheray.
During chemo. and radiolheray I had very IillIe aelile and shrunk lo an
unheaIlhy-Iooking size six, vilh suIIen cheek bones and huge bIack circIes under
my eyes. I vas exhausled, veak and grev veary of lhe conslanl rodding and
oking from doclors Iying me vilh drugs. The vhoIe exerience made me feeI
very disemovered and consequenlIy I senl lhe ma|orily of my day eilher
asIee or benl over vorshiing lhe orceIain god!
I vasn'l given any informalion on hov I couId heI myseIf or vhal I couId
do lo Iessen lhe side-effecls I vas exeriencing so I began lo conducl my ovn
research as lo vhal I couId do. I began |uicing fruils and vegelabIes and began
ealing more Iiving foods in lhe form of saIads. I grev u in a househoId vhere
a iece of fish or meal vouId hoId cenlre slage vilh lhe vegelabIes making a
smaII loken aearance, bul graduaIIy I began lo educale myseIf of hov I couId
besl suorl my body and boosl my immune syslem lo heI kee me veII. U
unliI lhal oinl, I had never reaIIy made lhe conneclion belveen lhe foods I vas
ealing and my IeveI of heaIlh. Of course I knev I needed lo gel my 'five-a-day'
bul I didn'l reaIise |usl hov imorlanl lhey vere or lhe delrimenlaI effecl some
of lhe olher everyday foods I vas ealing Iike meal, bread, sugar, cheese and
aIcohoI vere having on my body. I had aIvays considered myseIf 'heaIlhy' bul
soon came lo reaIise lhal my idea of heaIlhy vas very differenl from lrue heaIlh.
Soon afler I finished my lrealmenl, I deveIoed Iymhoedema in my righl
Ieg making il sveII lo lvice lhe size of my Iefl Ieg vhich vas unsighlIy, ainfuI
and aImosl imossibIe lo vaIk on. I vas loId lhere vasn'l much lhal I couId do
and lhal I vouId have lo 'Iearn lo Iive vilh il'. I loId lhe Iymhoedema nurse
lhal lhal vas unaccelabIe and look il uon myseIf lo heaI il. (I'm sure she
lhoughl I vas a omous Madam bul I vas 24 and I vanled a normaI Ieg lhank
you very much!)
I researched and did everylhing I couId, I had manuaI Iymhalic drainage
once a veek, vore Iymhoedema slockings, dry skin brushed, drank fresh
|uices made from anli-infIammalory foods and visuaIised on a daiIy basis lhal
my Ieg had relurned lo ils normaI size. AroximaleIy lhree monlhs Ialer, my
Ieg vas back lo normaI and vaIking on il vasn'l a robIem. The Iymhoedema
nurse vouId aIvays be surrised hov much il had reduced each lime she
measured il and vouId ask me vhal I had been doing!
On agreeing lo sub|ecl my body lo such harsh lrealmenl in lhe form of
chemo. and radiolheray, I vas made avare lhal lhere vas a ossibiIily of
deveIoing severe side-effecls. Some vere vorse lhan olhers and lhankfuIIy il
vouId aear I have come avay fairIy unscalhed in lhe grand scheme of lhings.
ul I have suffered some nerve damage in my fingers and lo lhis day sliII have
robIems vilh lhem. When I gel coId or vhen I louch somelhing coId, even for
|usl a sIil second, lhe lis of my fingers go numb and lhey lurn vhile.
IvenluaIIy, lhe bIood comes fIovs back lo lhem bul il can be quile ainfuI,
eseciaIIy in vinler. And lhen of course, having had such severe lrealmenl I
vas loId lhal I have been Iefl inferliIe. Desile sliII having my reroduclive
organs, lhe lrealmenl has had an exlremeIy negalive effecl on my monlhIy cycIe
vhich I am currenlIy vorking on gelling lo funclion once again using
aIlernalive melhods.
I vas aIso Iefl vilh a comromised immune syslem, vhich Iefl me
vuInerabIe lo conlracling severe neumonia lvice in as many years. During my
second slay in hosilaI for neumonia in December 2009, I found a Ium near
my coIIar bone vhich lurned oul lo be lhe cervicaI cancer lhal had melaslasized
lo my Iymh nodes around my neck. As lhe cancer vas syslemic lhroughoul
my Iymh syslem, I vas loId lhal lhe cancer vas nov deemed 'incurabIe'.
I vas offered surgery and radiolheray vhich I vas loId may nol make
any difference lo heIing lo cure me and having exerienced avfuI side effecls
from il reviousIy, decided il vas nov my oorlunily lo do il my vay and so I
oIileIy decIined.
I had read a Iol aboul heaIlh and heaIing in lhe years belveen my lvo
diagnoses, and had come lo lhe concIusion lhal if lhe body had crealed
somelhing lhen il shouId be abIe lo 'un-creale' il. I had lried lhe convenlionaI
roule and lhe cancer came back, so I decided nov vas my oorlunily lo
exIore an aIlernalive alh lo heaIing. I began researching hov lo suorl my
body and lhe lhings I couId do lo 'svilch on' my body's heaIing mechanism,
vhich has Ied lo lhe mosl amazing |ourney of my Iife.
I converled lo a Ianl-based rav food diel overnighl, vilh Ienly of fresh
|uices, medilalion, visuaIisalion and yoga making lhe foundalions of my
heaIing Ian. I made il my fuII-lime |ob lo creale a sacred sace lo aid heaIing
on a hysicaI, menlaI, emolionaI and siriluaI IeveI. This is my |ourney and il is
no coincidence lhal I feeI haier and heaIlhier lhan ever before.
Three monlhs afler embarking on my heaIing |ourney, a scan shoved lhal
lhe cancer had reduced by 1mm aIlhough my oncoIogisl vas relicenl lo admil
lhis couId be dovn lo my aroach, inslead suggesling lhal lhe scan may have
been measured inaccuraleIy. A scan four monlhs Ialer shoved a IillIe grovlh
and aIlhough I feIl some disaoinlmenl reaIised lhal cancer has been in my
body for al Ieasl len years and lhal il is going lo lake lime lo heaI comIeleIy. I
don'l ul a Iol of emhasis on scans as I don'l beIieve lhal a Ium is a cIear
indicalion of my IeveI of inlernaI heaIlh. The Ium is a mere manifeslalion of a
robIem lhal I am vorking on resoIving, bul |usl because lhe Ium is sliII lhere
doesn'l mean lhal heaIing isn'l aIready laking Iace on a ceIIuIar IeveI.
I decided lo lake a break from having scans for a vhiIe seeing as lhey have
lo in|ecl gIucose inlo my bIood lo measure lhe cancer in my body vhich in
effecl romoles lhe cancer's grovlh! Il aII |usl seemed a bil counler-roduclive.
So nov, I have my bIood lesls and I am loId lhey 'Iook good'. I don'l lake loo
much nolice of lesls because I feeI veII and I knov lhal I am doing everylhing I
can lo aid my heaIing.
I cerlainIy don'l inlend lo have cancer forever, bul I do inlend lo Iive my
Iife vilh heaIlh and hainess. I commil every day lo being an aclive
arlicianl in my heaIlh and give my body lhe besl ossibIe environmenl in
vhich lo creale heaIlh by ealing, drinking and lhinking consciousIy.
We so oflen feeI Iike a assenger on a runavay cancer lrain and I vanl lo

I vas 47 years oId and beIieved I vas as heaIlhy as I couId ossibIy be!
TaIk aboul being osilive, I lhoughl I had il aII! My career vas laking off, my
kids vere successfuIIy Iaunched, and I Ioved aII lhe lraveI lhal my |ob rovided.
I'd sludied nulrilion in coIIege and ale vhal I vas loId vas a very heaIlhy diel,
Iols of chicken and fish and Iov-fal dairy. I vas in lhe besl hysicaI shae of my
Iife excel for a IillIe arlhrilis vhich I vas loId everybody gels by lhe lime
lhey're 30. I'd slarling daiIy running al lhe age of 33 and found I Ioved il! So, al
lhis lime, I'd been a runner for 14 years and had even run a bunch of
maralhons.
Whal I didn'l knov vas lhal my Iife vas aboul lo be dumed uside
dovn. WhiIe in lhe shover lhal morning, I found a Ium in my breasl. I gol
righl in lo see a doclor, bul he |usl remarked, 'Oh, you're loo young for breasl
cancer.' He did, hovever, order a mammogram, '|usl lo be sure', he said. The
resuIls vere negalivea faIse negalive as il lurned oulbecause of my dense
breasls, il didn'l ick u any abnormaIily. I vas loId lo come back for yearIy
checks. The nexl year, lhe same resuIl. The lhird year, hovever, lhe Ium vas
nov goIf-baII sized and very visibIe! The doclor Iooked shocked and ordered an
immediale biosy. The diagnosis: infiIlraling duclaI cancer, an invasive cancer
lhal had aIready sread, indicaled by 'hol sols' in my bones, a Iung lumour,
and eIevaled Iiver enzymes!
I vas so slunned and disbeIieving lhal I gol second, lhird and even fourlh
oinions. Iach doclor confirmed lhe findings, and as for my rognosis, none
couId leII me vhelher I had lhree monlhs, lhree years or vhal, |usl lhal il vas
'nol good.' They aII recommended lhe slandard chemo., radialion and
lamoxifen. I couId nol beIieve my body belrayed me in such a manner! I vas
doing everylhing I vas loId vere aII lhe righl lhings lo be heaIlhy.
I vas sIaled for chemolheray bul dreaded going dovn lhal alhbul
lerrified nol lo. I slarled searching for aIlernalives, any kind of heI, anylhing
I did nol vanl lo die! Thal vas vhen I found a liny lhree-Iine nevsaer ilem,
'Wanled, vomen vilh breasl cancer lo arliciale in cancer/diel research
sludy.' I vas sure lhal my 'heaIlhy' diel (and I'd been loId by lhe oncoIogisl
lhal my diel had nolhing lo do vilh my breasl cancer), so I lhoughl lhis vouId
heI rove il one vay or lhe olher. I ran lo lhe hone and vas ul righl lhrough
lo Dr }ohn McDougaII. I vas so shocked lo gel him in erson lhal I vas
sullering, lrying lo leII him lhal I'd |usl been diagnosed vilh breasl cancer. He
said, 'Gel your medicaI records and come dovn lo my office righl avay.'
Afler I gol lhere, he vas Iooking over my Iab resuIls. 'Hmmm,' he said.
'Whal nov`' I vas lhinking. Anolher shock vhen he said, 'You knov, vilh
choIesleroI of 236, you are al as high a risk of dying of a hearl allack as you are
lhe cancer.'
I vas IileraIIy slunned by lhe decelion of my body and vhal vas
haeningcancer, arlhrilis, and, nov, hearl disease` I vas a maralhoner, for
goodness sake! These lhings don'l haen lo eoIe Iike me! Whal is going on`
Dr McDougaII said, 'Don'l vorry, aII of lhis can be reversed and avoided.
Change your diel, and you'II Iover your choIesleroI, Iover your risk of hearl
disease, and reverse lhe cancer. And, in order lo shov lhal il's lhe diel lhal's
resonsibIe for lhese changes, you musl nol have any chemo. or radialion.' Wail
a minule, I lhoughl, undergo chemo. and radialion cr change my diel` If Dr
McDougaII is righl, and I sav lhe research lhal suorled his cIaim, I'd be crazy
nol lo go vilh lhe diel! 'OK, vhal do I do`' Dr McDougaII said: 'Il's very
simIeeIiminale aII animaI foods and oiIs from your diel. Your diel viII
consisl of Ianl foods: fruils, vegelabIes, vhoIe grains and Iegumes.'
No 'lransilioning' for mein Iess lhan lvo hours, I vas vegan! I found lhe
diel amazingIy easy lo foIIov. I aIready Ioved brovn rice, vhoIe grain breads
and oalmeaI, I |usl had lo reIace lhe chicken, fish and dairy vilh vegelabIes
and fruil, and lhrov oul aII lhe oiIs.
My body resonded immedialeIy. The nexl morning I discovered I'd been
conslialed aII my Iife bul never knev il. I nov knov vhal 'normaI' is, lhank
goodness!
When I relurned lo lhe oncoIogisl, I loId him vhal I vas doing. He
resonded by saying lhal diel had nolhing lo do vilh my gelling breasl cancer
and I couIdn'l ossibIy gel enough rolein, caIcium, and essenliaI fally acids. I
made a menlaI nole lo check lhal oul vilh Dr McDougaII. In addilion lo lhe hol
sols in my bones, I vas having serious bone ain lhal medicalion couId nol
reIieve. A monlh Ialer, lhose hol sols had significanlIy receded, and vilhin
lhree monlhs, lhey vere gone, as vas lhe bone ain. The chesl X-rays, hovever,
lo lhis day, sliII shov an encasuIaled lumour in my Iefl Iung. Il hasn'l grovn
in 29 years, and my Iiver enzymes are nov normaI.
The oncoIogisl had no exIanalion for lhe findings and loId me furlher
lhal my nev diel couIdn'l have any effecl on lhe cancer, and lhal I vas laking a
risk in conlinuing lo refuse chemo., radialion, and lamoxifen. ack lo Dr
McDougaII I venl! I vas reassured vhen he again shoved me lhe dismaI
resuIls of chemo. and radialion Ius dala indicaling I'd gel Ienly of aII lhe
needed nulrienls.
Il vas during aII lhis lurmoiI lhal I haened lo see lhe Ironman TrialhIon
on TV. I vas ave-slruck and lhoughl, 'I've gci lo do lhal!' I sav lhe 2.4-miIe
svim, lhe 112-miIe bike, and lhen lhe 26-miIe maralhon. I knev I couId handIe
lhe maralhon and lhoughl |usl adding svimming and biking vouId be a iece
of cake! Then il hil me, I've gol canccr and, besides, Iooking al aII lhe young
bodies, al 47 I'm vay loo oId lo do lhis. I lhen reaIized vhal an oorlunily I
vas being given: diel !ccs affecl cancer and I can shov eoIe lhal you can do
one of lhe loughesl races in lhe vorId on a vegan diel and, al a reIaliveIy

cIubs, gol a svim coach, look a bicycIe reair course, and vas obsessed vilh
lraining in aII lhree sorls. Training daiIy, I couId see amazing rogress in my
seed and endurance. Whal's more, I vas en|oying my vorkouls, gaining
confidence lhal I couId allain one of lhe mosl ambilious goaIs I'd ever sel for
myseIflo be an 'Ironman'!
I did have lo dig dee, hovever, as I vas chaIIenged Iike I'd never been

feeIingsa mix of |oy, emovermenl, exhiIaralion, and lolaI faligue! I couId

ecause of lhe hislory of osleoorosis on bolh sides of my famiIy, I lracked

I firsl mel Ian vhen he conlacled me having read my cancer books and
discovered lhal ve Iived in lhe same lovn. Here is his slory in his ovn vords.
My rofessionaI background: I am by rofession an eIeclronics engineer
and vorked in Germany and HoIIand before lraining lo be a coIIege Ieclurer. I
have degrees in eIeclronics, induslriaI design, and research lo IhD IeveI in
educalion, so I am very caabIe of reading and evaIualing research aers. I
vorked IallerIy as a Ieclurer in furlher and higher educalion, ending my
academic career as assislanl rinciaI in charge of lechnoIogy. This is lhe slory
of my ongoing ballIe vilh cancer. I don'l beIieve lhal you ever can say lhal you
have cured your cancer bul I am currenlIy, as besl as I can leII, cancer-free.
I firsl became avare of generaI heaIlh issues in 1966 vhen I noliced lhal I
had lhe slarl of a ol beIIy. I slarled lo lake an inleresl in lhe sub|ecl and from
lhen on I became increasingIy knovIedgeabIe on heaIlh issues and
imIemenled lhem. One lhing I have Iearnl over lhe years is lhal nol everylhing

lurned oul Ialer lo be 180 degrees vrong, and I viII admil lhal I have done
severaI reversaIs over lhe years. eing a scienlisl, I lend lo foIIov reorled
researchil is nol ossibIe lo do aII lhe research oneseIf.
NeverlheIess, I seemed lo be fil and heaIlhy|ogging reguIarIy, ealing
mainIy good nulrilion, nol drinking loo much, and I sloed smoking more
lhan 30 years ago. I lhus seemed on course lo Iive al Ieasl lo 100, and erhas
more. In facl I vas |usl aboul lo sil dovn lo vrile a book caIIedralher
hubrislicaIIy'Hov lo Iive lo 150 years', vhen I vas diagnosed vilh cancer.
In Oclober 2007, I had some lesls vhich reveaIed I had cancer and lhis
quickIy Ied lo lhe surgicaI removaI of a lumour from my bIadder.
UnforlunaleIy, furlher lesls resuIled and I vas loId lhal I had melaslalic
lerminaI bIadder cancer. I vas informed by lhe uroIogisl, and by lhe nexl lvo
oncoIogisls lhal I consuIled for second (and lhird!) oinions, lhal I had onIy
veeks lo Iive, maybe a year al mosl (so my execled dealh-by-dale vas Oclober

I vas loId by lhese seciaIisls lhal lhere vas nolhing orlhodox medicine
couId doaddilionaI surgery vas nol ossibIe, radialion vas no use (as I vas

I aIso lried many 'cures'. None of lhem vorked for me, or al Ieasl lhal vas

Inslead, I have myseIf evoIved a rogramme lhal disliIs aII I have Iearnl
over a Iifelime, bolh as an engineer, scienlisl and cancer alienl, and vhich I

This rogramme is based on lhe veII-knovn engineering ruIe 'KnovIedge

heaIlh. The second is lo anaIyse lhe resuIls and lhe lhird sle is lo feed lhe body
vhalever il is lhal viII correcl lhe silualion if il aears lhal lhere are robIems.
Then six or eighl veeks Ialer you reeal lhe cycIe and see if anylhing has
changed.
In facl, I vork on lvo searale cycIes. The firsl is an assessmenl of my
cancerousness, lhe second is an assessmenl of my veIIness. I make a dislinclion
belveen lhese lvo cycIes and for bolh lhese cycIes I have a number of lesls.
To lesl for my slale of cancerousness I do reguIar lesling for secific cancer

NMI22 IadderChek Tesl lhal delecls eIevaled IeveIs of NMI22 rolein. I
shouId varn you lhal lhe use of lhese bIood markers is conlenlious. My firsl

lhem done rivaleIy.
The second sel of lesls is lhose lhal, in my oinion, rovide a good insighl
inlo lhe slale of overaII veIIness. I assess my veIIness by measuring my IeveIs
of vilamin D3, homocysleine, and essenliaI fally acids (IIAs). These are simIe
lesls lhal your doclor shouId be reared lo arrange. Vilamin D3 IeveIs shouId
be high (nol |usl normaI)above 200mmoI/I, homocysleine IeveIs shouId be
Iov and as for lhe essenliaI fally acids I am aiming for and AA/IIA ralio of 1.5.
You robabIy von'l undersland lhal Iasl bil so I viII quole from one of lhe
doclors I currenlIy use as a source of good quaIily informalion, Dr AI Sears:

'There are onIy lhree fally acids lhal can made inlo eicosanoids (lhe
hormones lhal conlroI infIammalion). These are arachidonic acid (AA),
dihomo gamma IinoIenic acid (DGLA), and eicosaenlaenoic acid (IIA).
Irom AA comes aII lhe ro-infIammalory eicosanoids lhal in excess
acceIerale chronic disease. Irom DGLA come very overfuI anli-
infIammalory eicosanoids lhal acceIerale ceIIuIar re|uvenalion. IinaIIy,
from IIA comes very neulraI eicosanoids, bul ils resence can heI inhibil
lhe formalion of AA as veII as diIule oul ils resence in lhe ceII membrane
lhus making il more difficuIl lo make ro-infIammalory eicosanoids. The
baIance of lhese lhree fally acids in lhe bIood viII leII your fulure vilh
Iaser-Iike recision. Whal you are Iooking for are lhe foIIoving IeveIs:

AA Iess lhan 9 er cenl of lhe lolaI fally acids
DGLA grealer lhan 3 er cenl of lhe lolaI fally acids
IIA grealer lhan 4 er cenl of lhe lolaI fally acids

ul il is lhe ralio of lhese fally acids lo each olher lhal leIIs lhe fuII slory.
The lrue marker of siIenl infIammalion is lhe AA/IIA ralio. If il is grealer
lhan 10 lhen you have il regardIess of hov good you Iook in a svimsuil. A
good ralio vouId be 3, and lhe ideaI ralio is aboul 1.5. You mighl ask vhere
I gel lhose numbers` If you ask vho are lhe Iongesl-Iived eoIe in lhe
vorId loday, lhe ansver is lhe }aanese. If you ask vho are eoIe vilh lhe
Iongesl heaIlh san (Iongevily minus years of disabiIily), lhe ansver is
again lhe }aanese. If you ask vho have lhe Iovesl IeveIs of hearl disease in
lhe vorId, lhe ansver again is lhe }aanese. And you vouIdn'l be loo
surrised lo find oul lhal lhe }aanese have lhe Iovesl rales of deression
in lhe vorId loday. When you Iook al lhe bIood of lhe }aanese ouIalion,
lhe AA:IIA ralio ranges from 1.5 lo 3. If you have your AA IeveIs al 9 er
cenl and your IIA IeveIs al 4 er cenl, lhen your AA:IIA vouId be 2.2
vhich is mid-range for conlroIIing siIenl infIammalion. Ior comarison lhe
average 'heaIlhy' American has an AA:IIA ralio grealer lhan 12. This
means Americans are nol onIy lhe fallesl eoIe in lhe vorId loday, bul
aIso lhe mosl infIamed. If you have chronic disease, lhen il IikeIy lhal your
AA:IIA ralio is grealer lhan 20.'
In addilion lo lhese lesls I aIso have a reguIar c-reaclive rolein (CRI) lesl.
This indicales in a non-secific vay lhe IeveI of infIammalion in lhe bodyand
cancer is aboul infIammalion (as are arlhrilis, hearl disease and regnancy).
So lhal is my baseIine for assessing vhal il is I need lo do. I lesl my cancer
and veIIness markers on a reguIar basis and I linker vilh my diel and exercise

Here is Nuro's slory in her ovn vords.
In }anuary 2009 I noliced a liny Ium in my righl breasl. I venl lo my IocaI
GI. She evenluaIIy lransferred me lo lhe breasl cIinic vhere a couIe of fine
needIe asiralions vere made. I lhen had an uIlrasound scan and a biosy of
lhe Ium. The resuIl vas an aggressive (meaning fasl sreading) form of non-
Hodgkin's Iymhoma vilh a lumour in my righl breasl. I vas devaslaled!
I had vorked for aImosl 20 years in lhe fieId of comIemenlary heaIlh. I
vas of lhe oinion lhal I vas of very robusl heaIlh. I had quile a soIid
underslanding of nulrilion, vas never reaIIy iII, had hardIy any coIds, venl
running reguIarIy, did a very dynamic form of yoga and my busy vork as a
remediaI massage lheraisl rovided lhe necessary muscIe slrenglh lraining.
AdmilledIy, my daiIy coffees and leas had become more reguIar and aIso
lhe occasionaI gIass of vine had become more frequenl. On lo of my
hysicaIIy demanding |ob, lhe commuling belveen righlon and London vas
slressfuI and every so oflen I vondered hov much more my body couId lake
.. Hovever, as I never reaIIy feIl iII I had no reaI reason lo vorry, I lhoughl.
So, I feIl Iike I'd been hil by a hammer vhen lhe consuIlanl loId me. Il vas a
lerribIe shock, bul in a vay I couId see il coming. I vas relly slressed and
running on adrenaIin. Oulside vork I venl running reguIarIy and had a very
busy sociaI Iife . vhich lired me oul even more. I remember driving home
from London on lhe molorvay one day and lhinking 'I vonder vhen my body
viII crack`'
So gelling a diagnosis of cancer comIeleIy lhrev me. I feIl belrayed by
my body. I simIy couId nol beIieve il, as I didn'l feeI iII in lhe firsl Iace. Ior
days I vas in shock and kind of numb. Lols of iclures of eoIe vilh cancer
came u, I remembered my mum, vho had died of cancer len years reviousIy.
I vas in an avfuI slale.
The consuIlanl loId me lhal lhe form of cancer lhal I had vas aggressive
and vouId sread lhrough lhe Iymhalic syslem quickIy. Chemolheray vas
essenliaI and ossibIy radiolheray Ialer. When I heard lhis I knev I couIdn'l
face lhe lrealmenl. Your hair faIIs oul, you go inlo immediale menoause, your
immune syslem is ullerIy shallered. I |usl couIdn'l do il.
Through lhis emolionaI fog I remembered an oId friend of mine vho had
had cancer as a chiId. She overcame lhe iIIness by a ureIy naluraI aroach
and lhen a second lime around 30 years Ialer vhen she had cancer again, she
aIso cured herseIf vilh aIlernalive melhods. I caIIed her u and she encouraged
me lo embark on a simiIar roule.
AII lhe lhings she suggesled veren'l nev lo me. To aIy lhem and
beIieve in lhem vhen doclors vere of lhe oinion lhal lhe onIy ansver lo my
heaIlh robIem vas chemolheray, vas a huge chaIIenge and a sle I didn'l
knov if I couId make. On lhe olher hand, I vanled lo Iive! I didn'l vanl lo gel
oisoned. So I feIl I didn'l have anylhing lo Iose reaIIy.
So desile aII lhe fear of lhe ossibIe consequences of nol doing
chemolheray, I vanled lo give myseIf and my body a chance lo heaI ilseIf.
I vanled, I needed, lo lry il oulal Ieasl for lhe nexl couIe of veeks lo
see hov I vouId do on a very cIean diel, eIiminaling aII ossibIe sources of
loxins, medilaling, generaIIy giving myseIf lime and sace lo decide aboul my

I gave u my |ob and vilh lhe heI of my husband slarled some serious
research on lhe 'nel. I reaIised lhal lhis vas aboul rebaIancing my vhoIe
syslemaIlhough lhere's lhis lumour, lhe iIIness is reaIIy in lhe vhoIe of lhe
body.
The firsl sle I decided lo lake vas lo go on a diel lo cul oul acid-forming
foods. Cancer Ioves an acidic environmenl. Slress creales a Iol of acid, bul so do
some foods. So I cul oul dairy, vheal, aIcohoI, meal, sugar and Iearnl aboul
|uicing and rav food. I aIso look u daiIy dry brushing and veekIy coIonics
vhich became daiIy coffee enemas. I needed a vay lo eIiminale lhe 'die-off ' of
lhe cancer ceIIsil can be loxic enough lo kiII you. A coffee enema IileraIIy
squeezes lhe loxins oul of lhe Iiver. I aIso Iislened lo a medilalion lae every

vilamin D, and vaIked aIong lhe coasl near vhere I Iive. To gel lo lhe beach
lhere is a 186-sle cIiff slairvay. This vas my vay of gauging myseIf. Hov
couId I be lhal iII vilh cancer if I managed lo cIimb aII lhose sles` I
surrounded myseIf vilh eoIe vho beIieved in me and read insiralionaI

Afler lhe resuIl of lhe IIT scan, I had a big ceIebralion vilh friends vho had
suorled me lhrough my heaIing |ourney. Iverybody asked me if I vouId go

WeII, lhere vere a fev lhings in my mind lhal I vanled lo eal again. I lried
lhem oul bul I can'l reaIIy say lhal il vas lhe big 'vov' exerience lhal I vas
execling.
Ior one lhing, I have nov comIeleIy Iosl my aelile for aIcohoI. Il
makes me feeI slrange and I don'l Iike il any Ionger. Croissanls vilh buller,
slravberry |am and a coffee used lo be my uIlimale fanlasy vhiIe I vas on my

organic veggie saIads, lhe occasionaI bil of chicken and fish here and lhere.
My heaIlhy diel has become a vay of Iife. I sliII have lhe odd bils lhal I

One lhing lhal I find imorlanl for me is nol lo become loo obsessed vilh

daiIy green |uice, lhe saIads and sleamed veggies and Ienly of good quaIily
valer.
As a resuIl of my heaIing |ourney I have enroIIed in a nulrilionaI heaIing
course. Thal course leaches more or Iess lhe aroach lhal has heIed me
immenseIy.
Over lhe Iasl lvo years I feeI as if I have done a crash course in heaIlhy

IniliaIIy I vas lrying lo find lhe 'righl' heaIing melhod. Iverylhing I read feIl
very overvheIming, confusing and al limes vas conlradiclory. IniliaIIy, vhen I
came across lhese conlradiclions lhey feIl Iike a ma|or obslacIe and a big vorry

lhe reading I did and lhe informalion I had accumuIaled feII inlo Iace. I
deveIoed a sense of vhen lo incororale anolher heaIing melhod, and vhich
one I vanled lo incororale. I needed lo slick lo somelhing lhal feIl righl lo me

I am sure I couId have done il in a differenl vay, bul lhe melhods I chose

nol onIy one righl melhod of heaIing. Iinding my ovn inner voice and my ovn

AIlhough iniliaIIy il vas a very scary silualion, il evenluaIIy became a

ancrealic and mesolheIiomaare considered lo be relly much unlrealabIe

Svayze and }obs bolh venl lhe convenlionaI roule. AIlhough }obs did aIso

and cancer free, having recovered from lhe same cancer using lhe much
derided aIlernalive, LaelriIe. If you gel ancrealic cancer, vhich do you lhink is
lhe besl modeI lo foIIov`
And lhen lhere vas Sleve McQueen vho famousIy, having exhausled his
convenlionaI olions, chose lo vork vilh lhe aIlernalive cancer lheraisl,
WiIIiam KeIIey, lhen afler a year vilh him aIIoved himseIf lo be oeraled on

comIained aboul lhe vay lhe media resonds differenlIy lo convenlionaI

The Sleve McQueen case has been used arlicuIarIy lo sligmalise

lhal KeIIey kiIIed McQueen:

'He |Sleve McQueenj vas lerminaI vhen he came lo Dr KeIIey. He had

Then lhey gave him immunolheray. There's nol a sludy in lhe hislory of

read lhe nevsaer arlicIes, lhere are sliII arlicIes aboul hov Dr KeIIey
kiIIed McQueen. No! Cancer kiIIed McQueen. You see, an oncoIogisl al
SIoan-Kellering can do a bone marrov lransIanl on ceIebrily alienls.
They die, and he's vrillen u Iike a hero .. KeIIey lries lo heI afler
convenlionaI doclors faiIed miserabIy and misdiagnosed him, and
McQueen Iived Ionger lhan he shouId. (He vas a haIf-comIianl alienl

KeIIey kiIIed him. . ConvenlionaI oncoIogisls Iose alienls every day, and
no-one says lhey're murdering anybody. Inslead lhey're considered heroes
for lrying so hard.'
So lhere il is. Tvo moraIs lo lhis arlicIe. Iirsl, money may or may nol buy

a vilaI organ, unliI lhe Ionger-lerm slralegy of diel and suIemenls can

Iong-lerm on an oulalienl basis. They shouId be given reguIar bIood lesls lo

And of course kee lesling, kee evaIualing lhe resuIls, kee being reared lo

I can assure you, you viII be amazed. SuddenIy, eoIe you execled lo

Olherslhe vasl ma|orily, I susecl, of lhose vho lake lhe |ob of gelling veII
again seriousIyviII go on Iiving far Ionger lhan redicled.
Il is reaIIy lhal simIe. So lhe queslion I ul lo you nov is lhis: Why have
you nol aIready done lhis`
You see, cancer is nol |usl a robIem for doclors, il ismore ressingIya
robIem for lhe alienls, lhe eoIe vilh lhe cancer. Cancer alienls need lo
Iearn lo begin lo lake resonsibiIily for lheir ovn cancers (and lheir ovn heaIlh
overaII) and doclors need lo heI lhem. Indeed, more and more alienls are
seeing for lhemseIves lhe benefils of comIemenlary and aIlernalive lrealmenls.
IeoIe are aIready moving lovards CAM lrealmenls for lheir cancerand lhey
are nol leIIing lheir doclors because of lhe veighl of disarovaI. Il's a secrel
move avay from orlhodox medicine, and lhis movemenl is gelling bigger and
bigger aII lhe lime. (Ask yourseIf lhis: if eoIe beIieved doclors had a good
cure for cancer lhere vouIdn'l be a need for aIlernalive lheraies. So if more
and more eoIe are using CAM: comIemenlary and aIlernalive medicine
vhal does lhal indicale`)
Here's vhal Universily of Toronlo cancer researcher Healher oon
discovered in 2005: '. more lhan 80 er cenl of aII vomen vilh breasl cancer

Al resenl, lhe silualion is lhis: if alienls decIine lo undergo surgery,
radialion or chemolherayor any of lhe olher lrealmenls on lhe convenlionaI
menulhen you oncoIogisls vash your hands of lhem. 'We offered lhem
