I did pray and asked for an answer. Three days later a book came into my hands written by Dr. Norman Walker. It dealt with eating raw fruit and raw vegetables. It sounded logical to me that my diet was wrong. I had been eating mostly fruit and vegetables, but about six weeks, before my last child was born in early May of 1976, I had seen Dr. Paavo Airola...and he had changed my foods. He told me that I needed to eat more dairy, because I needed the dairy in order to nurse. I should never have listened to him. I had been very healthy during my pregnancy, without this dairy. I never had a sick day. After I added the dairy, within 6 weeks I had a tumor..and it kept on growing rapidly, until after another 6 weeks I was in agony...and went to first one doctor; then another for a second opinion; both doctors advised surgery.

Well, I went on raw foods and within 2-1/2 months the tumor shriveled, shrank and went away. This vaginal tumor has not returned, since 1976 (28 years).

In 1988 I discovered a growth on my chest. I was advised to have it surgically removed too. However, I looked back in my journal and became aware that I was consuming 5 lbs of honey in my herb tea every 3 weeks. I stopped the honey and in another 2-1/2 months, the chest tumor was totally gone. There is just a very faint pink depression, where it had been. Needless, to say, I keep a journal, so I will be very aware of what I am ingesting.

I have been researching health and nutrition, since 1961. Learning is never ending. For the past 20 plus years, I have been doing consultations; giving people their specific foods. If people would stick to the foods that are right for them; there would be no health problems. Unfortunately, people world-wide eat foods that are not right. Most people eat for taste not for nutrients. The major cause of most illnesses is the wrong food. How can the medical field find answers, when they don't take nutrition seriously enough to study it in 77% of their medical universities; and herein, lies another problem, too. The universities are funded by the food industries -- so where would doctors go to study nutrition, if they so desired to learn? It is a Catch 22 situation.

Sincerely,

Barbara Charis
