This classic is still making its mark over 80 years since its debut. Author Johanna Brandt shares a personal journey of living with cancer and her discovery of how the beneficial properties of grapes cured her disease by refreshing and purifying cell structures. The virtues of naturopathy are extolled, and readers are encouraged to detoxify their bodies and prevent disease (namely cancer) through a combination of fasting and a diet of grapes.

An introduction to the healing effects of fasting using just one type of food • Includes Johanna Brandt’s grape cure with the author’s advice and commentary • Explains why mono diets are so effective at cleansing and restoring the internal cellular environment • Shows how to interpret your body’s signals to adapt the diet to your unique needs The grape cure, the lemon cure, the maple syrup cure, and the apple diet are all variations of mono diets that are based on restricting food intake to one food for a period of time. Using the famous grape cure pioneered by Johanna Brandt as his model (reproduced here in its entirety), Christopher Vasey demonstrates why these restricted diets are all remarkably effective in healing illness and restoring optimum health. Despite their different nutritive approaches and resulting healing benefits, all these diets work the same way: They help the body “burn” the waste products it contains to cleanse the internal cellular environment. They also keep the body’s eliminatory organs open in order to prevent the buildup of toxins. While these cures are responsible for healing people of many serious illnesses, including cancer, their principal use lies in the way they naturally eliminate waste products and prevent the body from absorbing toxins during the process. The Detox Mono Diet is a practical guide that provides all the information necessary for following a detoxification regimen. To make the application most successful, the author explains how to interpret your body’s reactions in a way that will allow you to adapt the cure to match your specific physiological needs, making your return to optimum health a unique journey.

Cancer is the Number Two cause of death in the U.S. The "Grape Cure" is widely used by holistic health professionals to fight disease, even "inoperable cancer." Grapes contain very powerful antioxidants called proanthocyanidins that protect your cells from "free radicals." As far back as 1556, books on this wonderful nature cure were published in European languages. Dr. Brandt was diagnosed with cancer shortly after her mother died from cancer. Working with her own diet and fasting, she saw how food was related to the progression or remission of her cancer. She discovered that a meat diet perpetuates cancer, a vegetarian diet conquers it, and that organic grapes aid healing. It took nine years to achieve her healing. She then helped save others from this deadly disease, and shared her journey back to wellness in this small, yet remarkable book, because "the need is greater than ever for natural discoveries to reach the people."
