Not worth it, even at low price
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.

Outdated
I have an older edition of this booklet, and don't know if it has since been updated. My copy has no publication date, but describes events that happened in the 1940s. I don't agree with everything in it. She recommends lots of sun bathing, which is a very bad idea, especially in these days of ozone depletion. Maybe it was not as harmful in Denmark, where she practiced, or early and late in the day.

Her use of milk, potatoes, and dried grains, even in their raw state, is of dubious value in cancer. She calls garlic a miracle food, which is arguable. 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 tumor that diminished in size and became benign. 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 pills or vitamin cocktails, as are often used today. Raw food was the basis of her cure.
