Anne E. Frahm | David J. Frahm
1 I am sister of Anne Frahm
Anne is my sister and I can tell you from my first hand account of her journey through Cancer that the nutritional approach that is outlined in this book allowed Anne to live 7 years longer than she was given by the doctors. Within 6 weeks of implementing this life style she became CANCER FREE and stayed that way for 7 years. This was a remarkable turnaround. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would be not believe it. Not only was she cancer free for those years, but she was living a full life and it allowed her the time to raise her 2 kids. I believe that if you have nothing to lose you will find this approch doable. She was a joyous Godly woman who wanted to offer hope to you. But please know too, that her relationship with Jesus Christ was the most important thing in her life (& Death).
2 Necessary education for cancer patient
I am 44. I had an emergency colectomy, to remove tumor, and have grade-c colon cancer. THis means that there is no visible tumor spread beyond that removed, but > 50% of the removed lymph nodes tested + for cancer cells. Dr.'s prognosis is 50%-60% 5-year survival. Chemo is recomended, but will only improve the survival rate by 3-8%. I do know that there will be a small but significant % in my situation will that will survive 30+ years.
THis book clearly endorses surgery, chemo, and/or radiation to stop advanced cancer. THe question is what next? I have three young children. Should I do nothing and just hope that I fall on the + side of stats? Or do I take aggressive action to try and put my self in the positive side? Choose for yourself. As for me, I will fight with all of my strength to beat this. I am a believer, and my ultimate hope is in God, but he gave me a mind to think, and a strong will to fight and live. TO that end, I ask, can a good detox program followed by a healthy nutritious diet possibly be harmful? I think not. Is the potential harm from follow-up chemo worth only 3-8% increase in 5-year survival? I am still praying and thinking about this one. I may forgo the chemo, but only after many consultations with the oncologist. I don't dismiss the imortance of the medical establishment, neither did Anne.
I find the diet to be a bit too radical, and am reading other books ("Juice FOr Life") that allow some fish and poultry in the meals, along with more reasonable food mixing, and more cooked foods. However, the other books seem to align with the this one regarding cleansing and juice recomendations, and emphasis on raw fruits and veggies. I don't look forward to the juice fast cleansing, but honestly, can it hurt? Might it help? I see this as a no-lose situation for me. OThers may have different situation. But in any case, take control of your desease. Fight. Seek the Lord. Do not surrender hope.
To respond to a new review, the problem with a natural approach to fighting cancer is that it can not be verified using the "scientific method". That is, individual components of the problem/solution can not be verified. THe problem/solution has to be viewed from a macro perspective. The suggestion that the American diet is responsible is valid when one looks at cancer rates of Japanese, before and after they adapt the American diet. However, unless individual food items can be proven to cause cancer, the medical community will not accept the evidence. The theory, however, is that the total American diet of dead poisened food, is responsible for the failure of the body to fight cancer (specifically due to reduced liver function). Seeing cancer as a system failure, rather than a local disease is orthoganal to the medical establishemt, and therefore, a program of detox, + disciplined nutrition + specific supliments, while reasonable, will not even get consideration, regardless of its results.
I am a cancer patient, not an "expert". I am trying to understand my disease, and am not willing to simply hope that my doctors can treat it. I will insist that they provide compelling data for any recomended procedure. I will weigh the risks/benefits carefully. I will also consider reasonable "alternatives".
3 A postscript to my review
Since there are all kinds of postings on this site about this book and their authors, etc. I would like to mention I have called about going to the HealthQuarters retreat and it costs $3,200 for one person(not including transportation to and from Colorado Springs) for an 11 day program, plus they are booked for several months in advance. They can only host 9 or 10 people at a time, and they are not a hospital, only an "educational center". Though this is somewhat cheap when compared to, say, going to other alternative hospitals or going out of the country, for a person like me, home on State Disability, this is more money than I have to spend on a program that my insurance company won't cover, not to mention the daily costs of my supplements and alternative medical care, also not fully covered by insurance, if at all. Dave and Anne's book, though certainly well intentioned and with a great spirit behind it, isn't much more than just a collection of the latest and most popular alternative treatments for cancer, all rolled up in a book like they are something new, when many have been around for years and years. If that, along with Ann's death, doesn't bother you and you still want to invest in tnis book, feel free. It is certainly inspirational and well intentioned reading. And who knows, it might help you, but go into it with your eyes open.
4 This book's author has died of her cancer
When my own cancer was deemed incurable, I reached eagerly for this book and attempted to do many of the things it said. Recently, I bought the sequel to this book, A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook, and in it, Ann Frahm's husband, Dave, reveals that Ann died of her cancer. I am estimating this happened between 1998, when the first book came out, and 2000, when the second book came out. In the second book he explains what happened, that they just couldn't clear up all her immunity problems and the cancer came back and took over. When I found out she died, I felt very let down, but on the other hand, Ann lived about 10 years fter she was sent home to die, so I guess it is however you choose to see the glass, half full or empty. I think it is only right, though, to let potential readers of this book know that Ann died. She also lived longer than anyone expected. Make your own decisions about the efficacy of her program and your quality of life if you follow program (with the frequent juicing, supplements, enemas and on and on and on) with that in mind. But if you are anything like me, you keep on doing stuff like this because you don't have anything else to keep trying to do. May God help all of us with cancer, because we surely need it.
5 Life saver
This book was literally a life saver for me and my husband. The guidance and advice was so simple and clear. It was a complete education in nutrition. Thanks to the information in this book, my husband is on the road to recovery from lung cancer, much to his Drs. amazement. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to avoid illness and not wait until it strikes. I can't praise it enough!!
6 Read It In 1996 - Followed It - Alive Today
I was diagnosed with medium grade, T-cell, lymphoma(NHL) in October of 1995. I had horrible responses to standard chemotherapy and was ultimately transplanted (autologous BMT) in April of 1996. Everything failed. I finally gave up chemotherapy in November of 1996 after being told by doctors I was incurable. The cancer had spread from my lungs to my peripheral nervous system and skin (CTCL). I started researching ways to help myself. Read many books, one of which was "The Cancer Battle Plan". Yes, the plan does seem a little extreme, but let me tell you, it did get me back on my feet... I followed everything the book outlined regarding the two week detox program (except I couldn't stomach the Tea tree oil). I'm still alive today and actually still have cancer (8 years without remission, and 6 years since giving up converntional therapy)... it is not detectable by any medical test, but I still feel it via neuropathy in my nerves in the lower legs. Since the day I started the "Battle Plan" two week detox my symptoms have slowly and gradually (yet sweetly) receeded. My Oncologists are stumped. BUT, the 2 week detox wasn't the extent of my efforts... fighting cancer is a lifestyle change. I've read some opionions criticising non-conventional therapies for giving patients "false hope" and I just have to say hope may have been and what STILL keeps me alive. Conventional therapy only keeps 50% of all patients alive for 5 years. If you ask me, there isn't "true hope" for any cancer patient. What you do have AND control is the ability to help yourself beyond what your oncologist will subscribe. Nutritional methods of supplementing your battle are NOTHING BUT logical. Conventional methods of cancer treatments are designed to reduce tumor bulk, but they do not remove all the cancer. Your body is what finishes it off, and if it is no shape to do so after cancer and radiation... the cancer comes back with even more vengeance. Did this book cure me? I can't say because I did a lot of other things to help my self out since giving up chemo, but, this book is nothing but valuable to any reader and I've recommeded it to MANY other fellow battlers.

8 It's nice, for those who have hope
My father died of cancer about 6 months ago. My mother says the book is very helpful, even for those of us without cancer. It was very inspirational, and even though my father died anyway, it's good to take the book's advice early in life.
9 Inspirational but a little nutty... or maybe not? see end...
See end of post for an edit.* The story of what happened with the diagnosis of cancer and interactions with the doctors is good and inspirational - keep your own control/don't give into the medical establishment. Some of the specific advice is a little nutty, though. I saw someone else's review question the coffee enemas as we have also. It's just not really practical to try to implement things like that AND the theory behind it is wrong. The two week vegetable drink fast has faulty reasoning that simply defies a logical assessment of the situation (according to biology as I studied it). I am all for going on your own path and not buying into the medical establishment completely, BUT it's not a logical deduction. So, buy it for some inspiration, NOT for a true "battle plan" because not only is the plan outrageous to do (several enemas a week - maybe even a day), it's not a biologically logical approach to beating the cancer.
** EDIT: I am coming back to edit this a few months later because I saw in a magazine that there is a doctor in NY who is using coffee enemas and some seemingly "nutty" things to truly cure some people of some cancers (like Pancreatic). Also, a doctor at NIH refuses to dismiss the treatment and believes it should be studied. Still, my mom who has BC was indeed a little frightened of the plan itself and does not know if she would be able to do it. The warning still stands that it certainly is not an easy plan, and the book doesn't explain the biological logic behind it as well as I would have liked. Perhaps more faith than logic is needed. It may not actually be as nutty as I thought, though.
10 If you have cancer, you might want to get this book.
This is an excellent, motivating book. If you don't believe you can cure yourself of cancer, you'd better read this book.
11 Worth a read
There are three schools of thought regarding the origins of cancer: 1. it is genetic. 2. it is environmental. 3. it is a combination of 1 and 2.
Anne Frahm was a 35 year old woman with breast cancer (originally misdiagnosed) who comes from the environmental school where the American diet is the prime suspect. A Cancer Battle Plan outlines her road back to recovery using body detoxification and nutritional therapy along with the standard therapies..
It is an interesting book, well researched and written in an easy to read style yet one must be cautious of holding out any false hope. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States and if the "cure" consisted of enemas, fasting, a vegetarian diet and additional vitamin supplements, I believe that this would already be part of the knowledge base. I just don't believe that the medical community would be hiding something like this from us for the sake of profit.
While it is difficult to believe that a cheeseburger or a milk shake can be just as dangerous as a cigarette, in defense of Frahm's position, the 3 conventional therapies of chemo, radiation, and surgery often seem to be just as successful or unsuccessful as her coffee enemas - recommended to clean out the poison in the body. Its a lot cheaper, to be sure.
Conventional therapies are also flawed in that one has to wait until one has cancer before administering them. Often, with aggressive cancers, the diagnosis comes in too late and the patient then becomes nothing more than a cash register. The therapies simply postpone the inevitable and in my experience, are often worse than the disease itself.
What is needed in the future, is a device or procedure capable of predicting cancer, in all its myriad forms, long before it is recognized as a tumor. Easy to say, I know. Until then, A Cancer Battle Plan makes the implication that it might be easier via nutrition to prevent cancer rather than cure it and if one has cancer, then detoxification and nutritional therapy may offer some help.
It's worth reading.
12 Nothing but beneficial
I do not have cancer but it is prevalent in my family. Therefore I wanted to get a book to understand more about cancer and about detoxification. This book gave me more insight than I expected: organic foods, what foods and containers and cooking styles to avoid, a few recipies and a step-by-step way to detoxify the body (if you have cancer). I can minimize the procedures the late author suggested, starting with a visit to a nutritionist this month. I have already given this book to my neighbour whose father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and am now writing down the title to provide to a friend whose father also has cancer. The book is in layman's terms, easy to follow and to understand. I very much believe that this book is nothing but beneficial to anyone with, or without, cancer.
13 Notes from a couple who were just at HealthQuarters
I have not (yet) read this book, but I've been reading the reviews because of two email messages I received from friends. Here's an excpert from the first one:We are so excited to tell you that L's PSA test done last week is at 2.9 down from 4 which is well within the normal range. His cholesterol is down from 221 to 172 which is also in the normal range. All other blood tests and the physical exam shows him very healthy. He is at his optimum weight down 35 lb. from this summer, he has been off his blood pressure medicine he started in June since October and it is in the normal range and he has almost completely quit snoring. The first good sleep S has had in 7 or 8 years!We are attributing these great results to the Lord's leading us to a book called "A Cancer Battle Plan," by Dave and Anne Fraum which then took us to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to go through the HealthQuarters Ministries program which Dave and Anne started to help people learn to regain their health the way God intended. We learned that if given the right conditions our body has an amazing ability to heal itself from many ailments which has been evident in Lyle and hundreds of other people. "Prostate Health in 90 days without drugs or surgery," by Larry Clapp, is another source that uses basically the same plan with a couple tweaks. "Healing Prayer" is a book that J gave us last Christmas that didn't get read until I found it behind the couch in the motorhome one day in early Oct. after L's diagnosis and boy does it apply to where we are. How did he know that we would use that book just when we needed it? God is in control of even the gifts we give at Christmas if we let Him be.Then my friends sent a follow-up note that said:I'm sorry to hear of [your] ailments. I know you have probably had a zillion suggestions but with the results we have seen with L and myself and many others with varying ailments I would encourage you to pick up Dave Frauhm's book "A Cancer Battle Plan" and consider following his program. It's [also] good for... dealing with the stress. This book deals not only with cancer but with many health situations. We believe you could possibly find some real relief. I hope these comments help. I think I'll be picking up a copy of this book soon.
14 I love this book. I should, I wrote it!
My wife has indeed gone to be with Jesus. Iron poisoning had shut down her liver after 10 years cancer-free. She'd gotten 150 blood transfusions during the failed bone marrow transplant written about in this book. You get everyone's iron. We knew it was going to be a problem. I gave more of the details of what took her in A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook. I noted a review that gave Battle Plan just one star. Its author somehow had it in her mind that we traveled and lectured around the country. Not so. The non-profit Christian ministry we began runs a Lodge overlooking Colorado Springs where people come from around the world for 11-day sessions to learn the principles of detoxing their bodies. I'm the teacher...a Naturopathic Doctor and Certified Nutrtional Consultant. For more info read A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook, or give HealthQuarters Ministries a call at (719) 593-8694. About our work Dr. Lee Cowden, M.D., co-author of An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, writes: "HealthQuarters Ministries is doing a tremendously important and needed work. They are restoring hope and health for people with chronic illnesses--especially cancer--who have had their hope stolen. They help to put people back in control of their own health, giving them the tools they need, and encouraging them to keep God at the helm." Dr. James Balch, co-author of Prescription for Nutritional Healing writes: "Christians know that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and that they are accountable to not destroy them...I highly recommend the program offered at HealthQuarters Lodge."

16 and the story is continued...
I bought 2 copies of this book to share. I was inspired cover to cover and contacted health quarters directly. At first, I was told Anne had died and lost hope. I thought the plan didn't work. They wrote me back later explaining she died 10 years later CANCER FREE of iron blood poisoning not the Cancer. SHE DID REVERSE IT! The book is continued. If you get it, please also get the rest of the story, A Cancer Battle Plan SOURCEBOOK! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
17 This book was continued...what it DOESN'T TELL YOU
I want everyone to know that I bought and read the book cover to cover twice. I was so inspired to hear this girl beat cancer and she and her husband were lecturers across the country that I emailed Healthquarters to ask when they'd be lecturing in my area. The response I got was disheartening. ANNE FRAHM IS NO LONGER ALIVE. I don't know how she passed away-they didn't say-but I'm NOT INSPIRED the battle plan is a cure for cancer if it was cancer that killed her. I am dissapointed in Penguinputnam for not including the ENDING of her life in a book that claims she was a recovered hopeless case. Here is the response they sent me when I wrote when you will be lecturing in Massachusetts?"
"I am sorry, but this is not the case..first...Anne has passed away, you can read her story in Dave's new book, "A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook." Dave does not like to travel and we feel he is more valuable to us here. If you would like I can send you some information. Let me know."hqmin@earthlink.net (Trisha Anderson)
18 Cancer IS Curable "Naturally"-This Book Will Get You Started
If you believe cancer is not controllable or curable, this book WILL give you the hope which traditional medicine (MD's) practioners destroy in our minds (not always). This book teaches you how to think for yourself by giving you many, many natural paths (methods) toward giving your body a chance to heal itself. I am not a personal friend of the author! This book entirely changed my perspective, paradigm, or way of thinking on health. This book was "the" book that started my interest in preventative health. WARNING: You may begin to question your doctors. Keep your presence and stand up for your beliefs. Doctors think from a "fix it" rather than a "heal it" perspective. I had Lyme disease and I cured myself, thanks to this book. (PS: This is the first review I have ever written.)
19 HANDS DOWN THE BEST "CANCER BOOK" OUT THERE!
ABSOLUTLY LOVED THIS BOOK. GOES IN GOOD DETAIL ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO FIGHT CANCER WITH THE GREATEST INVENTION AND MACHINE EVER CREATED... THE HUMAN BODY! THANK YOU ANNE, YOU'VE GIVEN ME ANOTHER WEAPON!
20 the god's life rope to cancer patients!
i am a orthomolecular-nutritionist and i had exactly 2 cases like the auther of that book had,so i know that every thing she wrote is completely true.she (the author)is a real cancer warrior,she begain to tell about what is cancer and how it work in the body,and what kinds of treatments available with a really open realistic sight.in the next chapters she explaines exactly the conventional treatments that she followed plus the attitute of her doctors to her, so called: "terminal condition of breast cancer".the will to live as she explaines drove her to learning many books on cancer and she start learning on her flash the alternative ways.she explains the detoxification program with exact instructions of how to do it individually,and responsibly.the author explaines the role of the immune system and how it works in order to ward off the cancer cells and their progresion.allergy\specific foods and recipes plus the roles of each orthomolecular nutrients (vitamins\minerals\etc,,,) in the treatment of cancer (any cancer!).there are a few chapters of incouragement that she explaines how to fight the disease moraly with amazing strategy and resoults.this woman is a real fighter,she also explains how the relatives should act if one member of the family \friend has cancer. the story of this author is amazing because of the fighting\positive attitute that this woman has. this is! the book on cancer!.i treat the disease and i have a few cases like this.this book is a bless from god,haleluya!every cancer patient\or a relative must have this book,believe me,my only interest is to see people getting better,i am a therapist.
21 Get this book!
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer, this is the most important book you'll ever read!
22 A Salute to a Great Cancer War Veteran
If you've ever wondered why cancer has somehow taken hold in your life or in that of someone close to you, you will find some surprising common sense theories here with some common sense strategies on how to get healthy again. A friend gave me this book early on in my uphill cancer fight and I finally felt "armed" and ready to wage war, instead of helpless and at the mercy of allopathic medicine's limited range of therapies (and few natural ones.) It's not a criticism of modern oncology techniques-this book lists ways to AUGMENT them with some simple common sense, supplementation of various kinds (detailed nutrition & vitamin regimens, spirituality, family support, etc..) and a belief in positive outlook/outcome. The most educational aspect of this book was that it taught me so much about our horrid American/Western diet and how much is has likely contributed to all kinds of diseases...including cancer. When 1 in 3 of us will experience cancer during our lifetimes, it can't hurt to consider the points that Mrs. FrŠhm highlights that not only speak to the ways our natural immune system becomes vulnerable, but how to strengthen this unrivaled form of chemotherapy.This book should appeal, in particular, to the active/critical patient or family who wants to explore the realm of natural cancer fighters that-unlike traditional oncology-work to get the body back in balance vs. kill the cancer at ALL COSTS. Mrs. FrŠhm not only takes you through her personal battles and how she arrived at her system, but explains in simple terms how these things work. I'm grateful beyond belief that a thoughtful friend passed along a copy of this powerful book and it's the first one I name when asked what book I'd recommend for a newly-diagnosed cancer patient. It's a hard-core, disciplined outline for those who believe in making some serious lifestyle changes in order to better their odds of keeping cancer from taking hold or ever coming back. At the same time, it doesn't claim to be the cancer gospel-anyone who claims to have THE cancer answer or THE cure is either disillusioned or a flat-out liar...thankfully, Mrs. FrŠhm doesn't attempt to do that.I appreciated her candor and personal courage during her difficult cancer fight and the specific things she shared in her personal nutritional regimen that I, too, incorporated that made me a much stronger cancer patient. I'm not only a smarter soldier in my own cancer war but I feel like I have a hold on the arsenal of natural weapons that my cancer enemy doesn't like. I have Mrs. FrŠhm-and the friend who gave me this powerful book-to thank for that.Just know this book isn't for everyone-especially those who are wary of anything their doctor doesn't rubber stamp with approval. But some of us didn't have the luxury of such enlightened, infallible oncologists and Mrs. FrŠhm just shows the reader some natural, alternative ways to bolster our immune systems & fight cancer without destroying ourselves in the process. And if your cancer situation is beginning to look a little bleak, this may well point you in some directions that no one else will tell you about. It's a shame that her 'Battle Plan' is only well-known within the cancer survivor community when it contains so many sound principles. If you're in the 'battle' against the Big C, it's difficult to NOT become a smarter soldier with this book. I only wish I had known about some of these principles years ago as I might not have even been diagnosed with cancer to begin with.p.s. As far as how Mrs. FrŠhm is doing today? I don't personally know...but given the fact that she only had 2 months to live- many years ago, mind you- after her "last" medical option expired and failed, whatever time she cultivated beyond that is due to the gifts of a higher power and a determined woman who took some brave steps to meet her enemy head-on.
23 Scary for those who don't have Cancer....yet
From cover to cover this is what you would call an informative book. It opened my mind to the impurities and toxins we put in our bodies. As a person who found myself in the position where a loved one got brest cancer, I found this book very informative on what practical solutions to take in the fight against the disease. The solution this book suggests though is not an easy one. Then again nothing worth while ever is. A complete lifestyle change is on order to enable the body to implement its own defences and cure the cancer. This book has opened my eyes to the causes of cancer and how we ourselves are primarily at fault. Sure there are hereditary causes but the food and things we eat are a huge factor. Having read this book I would recommend that you approach it with an open mind. Listen to what Anne and David (authors) have to say, and then make up your own mind. This book will not offer you a pop the pill solution or provide you with some magical remedy for cancer. What it will do is whet your appetite and show you that there is another way forward, there is life after Chemotherapy fails and there is life after Cancer. I consider myself a healthy person, this book scared me about what I was told about the foods I eat and what they do to me. I completely recommend this book and can do that because I know that with an open mind any reader will get from it what I did. A point in the right direction to beat this terrible disease.
24 Do you want to live or do you want to listen to doctors?
After being through the circus of working with doctors in my cancer recovery, I am convinced that they only know how to prescribe medicine and chemotherapy as well as other "scientific" methods. Problem is that their track record isn't too good (research their patients). Many people who have gone the traditional route have died. Yet I have spent time talking to and researching about others who have gone the non-medical route and they were in great health several years after being considered "hopeless." In fact, most of them had no detected cancer after only 5 weeks! They ALL had three things in common which they chose to do and this book talks about those things. It was one of three books that have changed my life. Take control of your own health and be careful about leaving it up to doctors who are giving it their best guess but are unfortunately falling short. Highly recommended book!
25 be careful...
I hear Anne Frahm passed away in February 1998
26 Active participation
Having been diagnosed and operated on for Ovarian cancer in October of 1999, my research told me that my chances of survival were slim (18 - 40%). My father sent me this book, and it may very well mean my life! This book provides me with a vehicle to AFFECT the outcome through active participation. The diet is already helping me through chemotherapy - I have energy! This book is a MUST for anyone sick or not!
27 Gave me much hope
This was one of the first books I read after being diagnosed in 1995. I was engulfed in incredible fear beyond words. This book gave me my first ray of hope that we can do much with nutrition and how each one of us needs to take an active part in our healing.

33 Brings you "back to the basics" of listening to your body
You must read this book in order to form an opinion. I knew Anne personally and saw the results. Although she is no longer with us physically, she leaves a legacy of information thru A Cancer Battle Plan. Get back to the fundamentals of eating and your body WILL respond. The JUNK we put into and on our bodies is what is killing us. She took the courage to put her testimony in writing and live it. If you want to know what happened to her call her office, they are still there teaching away.....don't judge without investigating first.
34 Information is power!
An interesting and easy to read book that opened my eyes to the link between the Standard American diet and disease. This book has forever changed my diet and therefore my health.
35 Beating the odds is possible
Shortly after being personally diagnosed with lymphoma I found this book which details Anne Frahm's progress through her disease and successful results. What an inspiring and encouraging story; something to hold on to...hope for my own success. This book is worthwhile reading for anyone questioning the importance of nutrition in assisting the body to health.
36 This book will give a cancer victim hope
This was my fourth purchase of "Cancer Battle Plan," I had already given it to three cancer victim friends, but this time I needed it for myself. I am following the advice in it to a "T" because I am convinced it holds the key to beating cancer (along with prayer and faith in God.) The author Anne Frahm had breast cancer so severe it ate a stress fracture in her backbone--she was sent home to die, but cured herself of cancer using herbs, vitamins and other techniques. This book is extremely enlightening and inspirational. It is easy to read and follow her methods. I would recommend it to anyone.
37 personal story of one woman's search for healing from cancer
This was an amazing story of a woman's (and her family's) battle for freedom from cancer. It's the perfect "balance" of testimonial and information to not only give you plenty of ways to begin changing your lifestyle, but to keep your interest too. I bought it for a friend who had just had a breast removed due to a fast-growing cancer. She became hopeful and began implementing the plan immediately. That was five and a half years ago, and she is much healthier than she was before she even knew she had cancer. She is cancer free! The book is a good starting-off point that gives you information on other resources as well.
38 Complete Success
This book gave us a map to follow to complete success. My wife had ovarian dysgerminoma, tumor the size of a softball. Followed Anne's outline for treatment, plus used essaic tea. CAT scan after three weeks on program & tea showed NO CANCER in her body! This book is a must for anyone who desires to control their own cancer treatment.
39 Review and Update on Anne Frahm
This book has much to offer in terms of diet and lifestyle changes. I questions the recommendations for coffee enemas a la Gerson. Sadly, Anne Frahm died in Feb. 1998 but she lived far longer than anyone expected after her diagnosis of advanced breast cancer.
40 Quackery
Sadly, this book is misleading junk. Please just see your doctor and don't buy into this useless treatment
41 get it. use it. see the results
Diagnosed with cancer went through the ops and then read this book. Am fully following the criteria mentioned and have immediately noticed a drastic change in the way my body is responding. Fill clean, fresh and fully rejuvenated. This is a great read for a positive approach to taking CHARGE of something that does not have to be a negative force.
42 A must for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer.
This is one of the first books I read when I was given my breast cancer diagnosis in 1994. When I needed to believe in life I read parts of it again and again. Ann's story kept me from giving in to Cancer. She has helped me to change my life, my eating habits and ny priorities. Anyone with Cancer needs this book.
43 excellent book on nutrition and cancer
The book is well put together when you are fighting immesurable odds on survival. Anne brought home the value of taking initiative for your own battle plan and enventual healing. She points out, there is no magic pill in the doctor's bag. Anne showed what we all need to do in order to beet cancer and heart disease. She assembled a team of professionals that could help her beat the odds. This book answers the question what do you do when the doctor sends you home to die
