Simple, intelligent and interesting nutritional approach to cancer
I was diagnosed 9 years ago with advanced multiple metastatic cancers and a grim prognosis. I stumbled across this book in a health food store and was taken by the intelligence and straightforwardness of the program's design and by the apparent sincerity and enthusiasm of the late Mr. Breuss. I scrupulously followed his full 42-day vegetable juice fast twice, with about a year in between. The first time, I used the pre-made Breuss Juice from Biotta, and the second time I did all the juicing myself in a GreenPower juicer.

The first fast caused me to do a dramatic detoxification and drop about 30 lbs, but had little impact on my tumor sizes. (And, no, you should NOT do this fast strictly for weight loss. You'll surely mess up your metabolism.) The second time, when I made the juices fresh, I experienced dramatic decrease in my tumor sizes and total disappearance of metastases in my breasts. While it did not "cure" my cancer in and of itself, I think the Breuss fast did save my life and was probably the single best thing I did for my recovery. As of this year, I am, quite unbelievably, cancer-free.

That said, this is a terribly hard program to do alone. A few of the ingredients, like black radishes and Herb Robert (AKA Red Cranesbill) are hard to find, especially in organic form, and you must make sure everything is organically grown. It is also critically important to have the right type of juicer (a kind that cold-presses rather than blending with spinning blades), and to measure the ingredients accurately with a precise digital scale. You will probably need to allow at least a month to get everything together (very hard to commit to when everybody's telling you you are going to die if you don't act now.).

It was exhausting to peel, chop and juice all those damn root vegetables every single day (and, yes, it has to be done fresh at least every morning). You also can not take any medications or supplements while on the fast, -- no aspirin, no homeopathic stuff, nothing. Do not attempt this diet if you are not detail-oriented or can't follow very specific instructions to the letter. Sometimes I felt so weak from the effort, the pain, and from starving, that I just sat on the floor next to the juicer and cried.

Still, it was worth it.

I don't believe this program (or any program) can work for everyone. I wouldn't call it a cure, so much as a resetting of the stage, a way of giving your body a period of time to focus its energies solely on eradicating the cancer. I think, too, that it made a big difference that I'd already been following a strictly super-clean, vegan, macrobiotic diet for over a year when I tried it.

All in all, if you are interested in taking a nutritional approach to your cancer, I think the Breuss "Cancer Cure" is one of your very best bets. It is a far more gentle and elegant program than the well-known (and even more hard to do) Gerson system. And perhaps the greatest lesson in Breuss' approach is that sometimes gentleness, clarity and slowing down is better than the all-out hurried warfare approach we are encouraged to take with regard to cancer (and so many other scary things).

Good luck to everyone trying to make their way through a terminal cancer diagnosis. However you choose to do it, please know it can be done.

Breuss 42 day fast
I enjoyed reading this book and its potential benefits. I did not have cancer (to my knowledge) but had a few other health challenges. I did the fast in the fall of 2000 with a big help from the bottled "Biotta - Breuss Vegetable Juice" and Sage Tea (I could not find the ingredients for the other tea mentioned in the book). It was tough for the first 2 days, then no problem. I had energy to burn, slept very soundly and the health challenges went away. I have not so much as had a cold or flu since then. I intend to go on this cleansing fast every fall - when there is little fresh fruit and vegetables around.

The Breuss Cancer Cure
Very easy for reading and understanding,furthermore I know a woman who lived 6 years instead 1 month (per doctors assumption)after using the therapy.Who ever wants to get better, not only from cancer but all kind of illnesses I recomend from the bottom of my heart.There is herbal store in Ventura, Ca under the name Ema's herbs and they can provide all necessary herbs for therapy.Try it, nothing to lose but illness.
