Story

   In September 1991 Cora, aged 51, found a lump in her breast.
Shocked and worried, she went to the North Kansas City (MO)
Hospital, where her physician did a lumpectomy. The tissue was
found to be malignant, but when the doctor suggested a mastectomy,
followed by radiation and chemotherapy, Cora and her
husband Mike refused. Mike had studied alternative medicine and
disagreed with the "slash, burn and poison" approach to cancer.

   Over the next two years Cora attempted to stop the disease
with a 14-day fast, mega Vitamin C therapy and vegetarianism
- but she was getting worse. Finally they discovered the Gerson
Therapy, but were not able to pursue it at home. A year later Cora
was very ill, with her entire breast having turned into tumor
tissue. Mike sent her to the Gerson hospital in Mexico in July
1995, fearing that it might be too late to save her.

   At the Gerson doctors' suggestion Cora underwent some mild
radiation, followed by a mastectomy. After the surgery Cora got
slowly better, with her white blood count and energy level gradually
improving. Back home, she was able to continue the therapy
unaided, holding her own. Concurrently Mike got information
from the Gerson Institute about the problems caused by dead
teeth, filling of root canals and the resulting cavitations. Cora had
six of those. The family dentist refused to remove them, so the
Cay tons went to a knowledgeable dentist in Nebraska, who
removed the root canal filled teeth, two at a time. Cora's energy
increased dramatically with each extraction.

   She stayed on the therapy for two years, but remained a
vegetarian and did daily coffee enemas. Even so, a year later she
began to have depressions. Mike suspected a parasite problem,
and started Cora on Hulda Clark's suggested parasite treatment.
This seems to keep the depression under control.

   Cora is now living a normal life; she has even taken a job,
besides looking after her home. However, Mike developed serious
kidney problems. When he discovered that damaged, root canal
filled teeth might cause the trouble, he went back to the dentist in
Nebraska and had them removed. His kidneys are now functioning
normally and he feels great.

   Their daughter, plagued by anxiety attacks and repeated
miscarriages, also had two root canal filled teeth removed by the
dentist in Nebraska, who found that the bone surrounding them
was rotting. When the bone healed, the young woman conceived
and now has three healthy children.

   Mike is very grateful for the help his whole family obtained
through the Gerson Therapy and the proper treatment of dead
teeth. He says there is only one thing with this approach:
"Nobody listens to you when you tell them."
