The Brandt Grape Cure – Dietary Cancer Treatment
The original Brandt Grape Cure diet, developed by Johanna Brandt in the 1920's, involves 12 hours of fasting every day, followed by 12 hours where you consume absolutely nothing except grapes (and/or grape juice). Purple (Concord) grapes (with their skin and seeds), contain several nutrients that are known to kill cancer cells. These kinds of grapes also contain nutrients to stop the spread of cancer. They also help detoxify the body. The consumption of the grapes is spread out over the 12 hours, not just at meal times. In other words, they are consumed slowly over many hours, not quickly over two or three short bursts. There are two different "fasts" that occur every day in this diet. First there is the "water fast" (which is only for 12 hours a day) which allows for ONLY the consumption of "natural water" during the "fast" and/or "ionized water." Chlorine, found in tap water, is especially bad for this diet! The second type of "fast" is for the other 12 hours in a day, it also includes water, but also includes grapes and/or grape mush. The water fasting makes the cancer cells "hungry," and when the cells do get food, what they get is grape juice, which contains several major cancer killing nutrients, such as: ellagic acid, catechin, quercetin, oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) - from the seeds, resveratrol – from the skin colouring of purple seeds, pterostilbene, selenium, lycopene, lutein, laetrile (amygdalin or Vitamin B17) – from the seeds, beta-carotene, caffeic acid and/or ferulic acid (together they kill cancer), and gallic acid. That is an incredible arsenal!
The water fasting is used to "trick" the cancer cells into consuming the first thing that comes along. The grapes become a great "transport agent" for getting the poisons just mentioned into the cancer cells, meaning the cancer cells "steal" these nutrients from the normal cells (which turn out to be poisonous to the cancer cells!). Cancer cells thrive on sugar, and grape juice is virtually pure "sugar." The water fast makes the cells hungry and when the grape juice becomes available, the cancer cells gobble up the sugar in the grapes or grape juice. But as the cells are ingesting the juice they are also consuming things that are poisonous to them. Think of putting poison in chocolate and giving it to a hungry child. That is exactly what the water fast, followed by the grape mush, do to a cancer cell.
Cancer cells eat many times more of the glucose and other sugars than a regular cell does, plus it eats far more minerals and some other nutrients than a regular cell. Thus, the combination of consuming far more glucose, minerals and other nutrients, plus the (water) fasting, makes the purple grapes an exceptional cancer-fighting food. The water fast is absolutely critical to this treatment, and should not be taken lightly. In fact, the great secret to the grape cure is that cancer cells are very inefficient at processing glucose and other sugars. Cancer cells consume about 15 times more glucose and other sugars than regular cells. The 1931 Nobel Prize in medicine given to Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg was awarded for this discovery. This means a grape cure diet can get several times more of certain cancer-killing nutrients into the cancer cells than normal cells. Most alternative cancer treatments evenly distribute their nutrients between cancerous and normal cells. But not this treatment. To insure the patient gets all of the main killer nutrients, the grape juice should include crushed seeds and nutrients from the purple skins (to get the critical resveratrol). The purple color, such as in concord purple grapes, has a critical cancer killing nutrient not found in other grapes. The darker in color the grapes the better.

Considerations Before Undertaking this Diet
In general, the "Grape Cure" diet cannot be mixed with other alternative cancer treatments. When cancer cells have access to a wide variety of foods, they do not consume nearly as many of the cancer-killing nutrients in the grapes. This cancer treatment does not include ANY OTHER FOODS or FLUIDS or INTOXICANTS, including smoking. The initial FIRST stage of the diet lasts for 6 weeks, with 5 weeks on the above water/grape fast. Other fruits and vegetables can be consumed in the final 6th week of the FIRST stage to restore important nutrients to the body. A person on the Brandt Grape Cure should expect some awful smelling stuff coming out of a lot of different parts of their body!! Also, a person on the Brandt diet will probably lose significant weight during the first few weeks. A person who begins this diet at 120 pounds / 60kg or less, will start losing weight. This is to be expected, however this loss of weight will even out. This treatment is NOT recommended for fast-growing cancers, suchas pancreatic cancer, and is not recommended for any type of brain cancer or bone cancer. Cesium Chloride / DMSO is recommended in these cases. Visit [www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/GrapeCure.html] for further information on this diet, of which the above has been extracted from.
