At age five, I witnessed cancer claim my grandmother's second husband. By nine, it took my uncle. Then, at eleven, the disease struck Tosa, our cherished family friend. These early losses planted deep questions in my mind: Why had modern medicine failed so completely? What unseen forces trigger this silent predator within us? And crucially, could there be unexplored paths to healing beyond conventional approaches?
My quest for answers intensified at thirteen, when I discovered Stanko Jurdana's book "Dowsing Rods and the Pendulum of Life." Jurdana identified underground energy lines—invisible yet potent—that could disrupt the body's natural balance and contribute to cancer in those living above them. This revelation sparked a sense of wonder, encouraging me to explore the hidden aspects of health and venture beyond the obvious.
By fourteen, my mother introduced me to books promoting vegetarian lifestyles for long-term wellness. As a teenager, I embraced a macrobiotic diet, which balances yin and yang through whole grains, fresh sprouts, and vegetables. I had no idea then how profoundly it would transform my life—and later become a lifeline for my mother in her time of crisis. This marked the beginning of my enduring search for alternative ways to combat cancer.
Further insights emerged from Michio Kushi's "The Cancer Prevention Diet" and Dr. Anthony Sattilaro's "Recalled by Life." These weren't ordinary books; they revealed the profound connection between nutrition and vitality, while challenging established medical norms. They reshaped my worldview, showing food as more than mere sustenance—it could be a powerful tool in the pursuit of healing.
In the fall of 1988, my sister Vladimirka and I met Marina, a vibrant 33-year-old architect from Belgrade facing inoperable breast cancer. Her doctors declared it untreatable and sent her home with only months to live. Yet Marina refused to accept defeat. Her journey of resilience and recovery is detailed in Chapter 18.
The following March, during a macrobiotic seminar in Maribor, Slovenia, we encountered Petar, a Serbian man whose determination inspired countless others. Diagnosed with leukemia at forty-seven and given just three months, he returned to his doctors cancer-free—alive and thriving, against all odds. His story unfolds in Chapter 19.
In 1989, Yugoslavia's leading oncologist—nicknamed "Dr. Breast"—detected an aggressive tumor in my mother's breast and recommended immediate surgery followed by intensive chemotherapy. Having watched close friends endure similar treatments only to succumb, she opted for a different route. Her experience is shared in Chapter 1.
Three years later, while leading macrobiotic cooking workshops with my parents in Belgrade, a desperate father named PZ arrived with his four-year-old daughter, Marija. She was battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia after grueling chemotherapy that left her bald, with a swollen abdomen, visible veins under pale skin, and persistent weakness. Her blood markers showed no improvement. Marija's tale of fragile hope and remarkable turnaround is in Chapter 17.
These encounters, along with hundreds more, drove me to immerse myself in studies of alternative remissions. I examined countless accounts, uncovering recurring patterns of success. For instance, Anne Frahm confronted stage IV breast cancer that had metastasized to her bones; when chemotherapy failed, she devised a regimen of fresh vegetable juices, high-dose enzymes, coffee enemas, infrared saunas, and a sugar-free diet, achieving full recovery as documented in her book "Beating Cancer with Nutrition."
In more recent years, Jane McLelland overcame cervical, lung, and blood cancers by strategically "starving" tumors through off-label drugs, supplements, and dietary adjustments. Similarly, Guy Tenenbaum defeated aggressive prostate cancer using a ketogenic diet, targeted medications, and lifestyle changes, declining standard care altogether, as recounted in his book "My Battle Against Cancer."
Since 1993, I've been deeply involved in online communities, joining and founding email lists and forums dedicated to alternative medicine, particularly for cancer and other challenging conditions. These platforms connected hundreds of thousands of people, who openly shared their experiences with unconventional treatments during desperate times.
I also founded CureZone.org, one of the largest online hubs for alternative healing, featuring over 1,000 forums that foster global discussions and mutual support for these therapies. To this day, I manage some of the most active social media support groups, where individuals—often after hearing the devastating words "There's nothing more we can do"—gather to exchange stories, gain knowledge, and achieve victories. At its core, this book draws from those narratives of struggle and triumph: a thoughtfully curated anthology of uplifting successes, paired with responses to frequent questions, highlighting the most discussed alternative therapies.
Lately, on "The Joe Rogan Experience," Mel Gibson described how three friends with stage 4 cancer achieved remission at a private U.S. clinic using fenbendazole, ivermectin, and methylene blue. This sparked widespread conversations about these affordable, repurposed substances.
Fenbendazole, originally a veterinary dewormer, disrupts cancer cells' metabolism and structure in ways similar to certain chemotherapies; Joe Tippens' viral story and initial research suggest its potential, explored in Chapter 2 alongside related drugs.
Ivermectin, approved for parasitic infections, induces cell death across various cancers and may enhance other therapies; it's now employed in alternative protocols for tumors as well as blood and lymph malignancies.
Methylene blue, a longstanding dye, boosts energy in healthy cells while, when combined with light, selectively targets cancer through photodynamic therapy in some alternative clinics.
A recurring theme in these accounts is clear: individuals abandoned by conventional medicine who conducted their own investigations, adopted accessible protocols, and secured profound remissions—frequently met with medical skepticism.
This book stems from that conviction: Fenbendazole offers benefits far beyond deworming. Ivermectin possesses anticancer properties extending past its antiparasitic role. Methylene blue leverages light to destroy tumors. Cannabis oil triggers programmed cell death in malignancies. Water fasting amplifies the effectiveness of both alternative and conventional treatments. The ketogenic diet hinders tumor growth. Liver flushes and coffee enemas aid in detoxification and restoration. Nutritious diets don't merely prevent cancer—they can reverse it, even in cases deemed incurable.
While each chapter stands independently, allowing you to dive in wherever you choose, I suggest reading the full book if time allows. For those dealing with rapidly progressing cancer and needing urgent guidance, prioritize Chapters 2–10 for the most straightforward methods (and refer to Appendix A: Protocol Cheat Sheet).
A word of caution: Your doctor might dismiss or ridicule these ideas. Continue reading regardless—your well-being, and potentially your life, may depend on it.
Reflecting on hundreds of verified remissions, one truth emerges above all: The phrase "spontaneous remission" frequently conceals an unwillingness to recognize successful alternatives that reveal limitations in current knowledge.
