Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 You Can Detox Your Body with the Grape Cure and Feel like a Kid Again...By Chet Day Editor, Health & Beyond Weekly Most people don't even realize it, but they feel sluggish, miserable, stressed, and whipped most of the time because their bodies are clogged up with all the junk they've been eating for so long. http://thegrapecure.com/ Well, in the 1920s, Johanna Brandt of South Africa cured her stomach cancer and healed everything that ailed her with what she called The Grape Cure. A few years later, she wrote a fascinating book that revealed the specifics of her natural cure for cancer and many other diseases. Today you can use Johanna Brandt's natural health classic to flush the crud out of your system and to start rebuilding your body. As side effects, if you're like most people who try this program, you'll lose weight, sleep less, dream more, and have more energy than you've probably had in years. Although most people use the information in this book primarily as a weight loss and detox program, the techniques in The Grape Cure can also be applied if you have a serious illness and if you work with a qualified physician who has an interest in nutritional healing. The Grape Cure is NOT recommended for people with diabetes or blood sugar problems. Satisfied readers write... Dear Chet: I consider The Grape Cure so valuable that I've printed it out, put it in a binder and am seriously thinking about keeping it in a fireproof safe (don't laugh) because it has information that is worth its weight in gold as far as I'm concerned! Jackie Heromin Chet: Over the years I have tried many diets to lose weight but nothing really worked until I came across this grape diet. Honestly, I was somewhat skeptical at the beginning but I wanted to try it anyway. Once I initiated, I followed the diet strictly and the results were tremendous, I was losing weight by hours. My weight use to fluctuate between 186 to 189 lbs. and now it is around 169 to 173 lbs. depending on how and what I eat. I was able to achieve all this within about 20 days. After this I had to stop because of pressure from the family, though I could have lost more. They were becoming concerned about my loose-fitting clothes. I literally lost about 2-3 inches around the waist. I have to tell you something else that really surprised me, and that is the surge of energy I was getting during the dieting. Prior to this diet I had always been involved in tennis, swimming, yoga and other exercise at the gym. However, during the diet period I was at the gym just about every day and I set my personal record for swimming about a mile within reasonable time, which in the past I could not even fathom. Thank you. Badyal, Baljinder Better than a Starvation Diet Instead of those boring and painful starvation diets, why not try The Grape Cure to lose those extra pounds around the middle? Most people who utilize this natural healing system report losing anywhere from five to ten pounds a week. Fun to Read Unlike many modern health books that require a Ph.D. in biology to understand, The Grape Cure was written by a woman who figured out on her own how to heal her physical problems. You'll enjoy The Grape Cure because it reads more like a detective story than it does a health book. Extensively Annotated and Updated I love old natural health books, but I also realize that the information found in many of them is occasionally dated or incorrect for modern times. Consequently, I always add my two-bits worth when I reprint a classic health book. With my easy-to-read footnote annotations, you'll have the best overall information I'm capable of providing for you. People Healed Cancer and Other Chronic Ailments with The Grape Cure In her book, Johanna Brandt shares the stories of several people that the medical profession had given up on. According to Brandt, these individuals recovered from desperate cancers, arthritis, and a host of other chronic diseases simply by taking The Grape Cure. If you have a chronic condition and if the medical profession is only making it worse, you may well find the detailed self-help information in The Grape Cure appropriate for you. Do, of course, work with a nutritionally-minded physician if you're not confident of your own abilities to deal with detox symptoms. Modern Science Supports Aspects of The Grape Cure Respected cancer researcher Ralph Moss wrote enthusiastically about The Grape Cure in the Spring, 1997, issue of his Media Watch: Substance in Grapes Inhibits Cancer Growth On New Year's Day, 1997, The Boston Globe reprinted a Reuters dispatch that raises high hopes about grapes. Red grape skins, it turns out, contain a substance called resveratrol. According to a well-known researcher, Dr. John Pezzuto of the University of Illinois at Chicago, this naturally occurring phenol " has multiple modes of action, inhibiting cancer growth at a lot of different stages, which is unusual. " These stages are initiation of DNA damage, transformation of the cell into cancer, and growth and spread of the tumor. Resveratrol Protects against Coronary Heart Disease Although resveratrol was first isolated from a Peruvian legume called Cassia quinquangulata, it was later found in grapes, particularly red grapes, as well as in peanuts, mulberries and other plants. It may also be one of the compounds responsible for wine's proven ability to protect against atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, according to other reports from the University of Toronto (Clin Chim Acta, 235: 2, 1995 Mar 31, 207-19). Great -- another excuse to drink wine! (If you do so, try to make it an organic red, since grapes are very heavily sprayed with pesticides.) Magical Health Restoring Properties of Grapes Again, this makes us think of another approach long derided by the quackbusters. This was The Grape Cure, popularized in the U.S. in the 1930s by a South African woman named Johanna Brandt. You can sometimes find her slim volume on a dusty shelf in the health food store. Brandt was herself drawing on an old European tradition which held that grapes had almost magical health-restoring properties when eaten in abundance. I own an old book called A System of Physiologic Therapeutics by Solomon Solis Cohen, A.M., M.D. (Philadelphia: Blakiston's, 1901). In it, Dr. Cohen shows that there were over a dozen clinics and spas administering the grape cure in northern Europe at the turn of the 20th century. In Baden-Baden (still a center of interest in alternative medicine) doctors 100 years ago were combining the " grape cure " with other alternative practices, such as the " Terrain Cure, " i.e. graduated walking and climbing exercises. Of course, these were eventually branded as classic quackery by the drug-oriented doctors. These new reports from very respectable universities suggest there may have been something to the " grape cure " after all. Again, we hope that the A.M.A. will reserve a spot in its alternative Pantheon for the much maligned Ms. Brandt. Well, from painful experience we all well know the medical and pharmaceutical industries aren't in any hurry to document the efficiency of a natural weight loss program or cancer cure that people can do in the comfort and privacy of their own homes at a cost less than the usual food bill. I don't know about you, but I prefer to take responsibility for my own health. You can do the same thing, and a great place to start is with my annotated version of Johanna Brandt's The Grape Cure.
