Book Synopsis

Dr. Kristine Nolfi's groundbreaking memoir chronicles her remarkable recovery from breast cancer through an exclusively raw vegetable and fruit diet. As a practicing physician, she initially treated disease symptoms conventionally until her own serious illness-including gastric ulcers and eventually cancer-forced her to reconsider nutrition's role in health. After discovering a breast tumor in 1941, she rejected standard cancer treatment and adopted a 100% raw food diet, living on a small island, sunbathing extensively, and consuming only uncooked vegetables and fruits.

Her tumor diminished within two months, and her health improved dramatically. When she briefly returned to cooked foods, the cancer reactivated, proving to her the diet's critical importance. This experience led her to establish "Humlegaarden," a sanatorium in Denmark where patients achieved remarkable recoveries from various ailments including rheumatism, diabetes, skin diseases, and even cancer through raw food therapy.

Despite persecution from the medical establishment and legal battles that stripped her medical license, Dr. Nolfi continued treating patients naturally with outstanding results. The book provides detailed explanations of why raw foods work-preserving vital nutrients, enzymes, and "sun energy"-along with practical dietary guidelines, combination rules, and testimonials. She emphasizes organic gardening, proper food preparation, the importance of garlic, and avoiding all cooked, processed, and animal products. Her revolutionary approach demonstrates that many degenerative diseases stem from poor nutrition and can be reversed through living foods.
