Johanna Brandt Grape Cure For Cancer

A “Stage IV” Treatment For Cancer

Disclaimer : The following is not a prescription to any patient but sharing of information only. As per request of readers of my articles published in Assamese Daily “Amar Asom” and also their compilation under the caption “CANCEROR ANSWER”, I am only sharing information obtained from the internet and information obtained from cancer patients who are following these treatment protocols of their own at home. I am sharing them with you not to suggest that you will have the same experiences but because you have a right to make your own evaluation. Similar to my right to freedom -of- speech, you have also right to freedom-of information and choice. Decision is yours.

Introduction to the Johanna Brandt Grape Diet

Purple (Concord) grapes (with their skin and seeds), and to a slightly lesser degree red and black grapes, 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.
This diet was developed by Johanna Brandt, who was a South African immigrant to America. She spent many years experimenting with fasting and diets before she found her grape cure. Her book on the grape cure was published in the 1920s. Much has been learned since the 1920s and many things have changed. It would not be advisable to read her book and follow it without taking into account what has been learned and what has changed since she wrote the book.
The original diet involves 12 hours of fasting every day, followed by 12 hours where you consume absolutely nothing except grapes (and/or grape juice). 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. After being on this phase of the diet for several weeks there were other phases, but the first phase is of most interest here.
To be technical 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” or “purified water” during the “fast” and/or “ionized water.” All of this clarification on water was not in her original diet, but modern technology (e.g. the addition of chlorine and fluoride to our water supplies) has necessitated its inclusion. Chlorine is especially bad for this diet!
WARNING: Do NOT use distilled water for this protocol. Distilled water leeches out potassium and other key minerals from the body!!
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 two daily “fasts” obviously do not starve the cancer cells to death, however, the “water fast” does have a significant purpose. 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:
1) ellagic acid,
2) catechin,
3) quercetin,
4) oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) or procyanidolic oligomers (PCO), originally called: pycnogenol (seeds),
5) resveratrol (skin coloring of purple grapes),
6) pterostilbene,
7) selenium,
8) lycopene,
9) lutein,
10) laetrile (amygdalin or Vitamin B17) (seeds)
11) beta-carotene,
12) caffeic acid and/or ferulic acid (together they kill cancer cells), and
13) gallic acid!
That is an incredible arsenal!
In other words, 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 (which turn out to be poisonous to the cancer cells) from the normal 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 (in order to get the OPCs) and the 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. Back when she wrote her book, in the 1920s, the advantage of purple grapes was not known. Also, if you eat or process whole grapes, you should buy grapes with the seeds (if you can get them), not seedless grapes. This is another thing that Johanna Brandt could not have known about in the 1920s.
The darker the purple grapes the better. (Note: Because purple grapes and red grapes are so frequently confused with each other, it is not clear exactly how good red grapes are. This is why you should look for the word “concord” on the package, although there are purple grapes other than concord grapes that are just as good.)

The Brandt Grape Cure Protocol Warnings – Heed Carefully In general, the “Grape Cure” diet cannot be mixed with other alternative cancer treatments!! For some reason, 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. There is NO “CANCER DIET” with this treatment because you are not allowed to eat any other foods. The supplements and alternative cancer treatments that are combined with this treatment have been carefully chosen to not interfere with the consumption by the cancer cells of the cancer-killing nutrients! Only fresh whole purple grapes, totally unprocessed, qualify for this diet. But even doing this does not avoid the problem of pesticides, and a lot of grapes and grape juice are in this diet. However, since a cancer patient is only on this diet for several weeks, pesticides can be safely ignored, however, the grapes should be soaked in warm water before using. The only way to guarantee you are getting all of the nutrients in the grapes is to make your own “grape mush” by using organic whole purple grapes (use organic when possible) and by processing them yourself into grape mush. Use a food processor or a juicer without using a filter (you want the entire grape, including the skin and seeds to be in the mush). “Organic” should mean there are no pesticides and that there are far more trace elements and other nutrients from the soil. The Brandt Diet is an excellent diet, however, because grapes do not contain all of the amino acids, the Brandt Diet in this article includes spirulina, which does contain all of the critical amino acids. Being on the Grape Cure I quote from her book: “It is safe to say that the first seven to ten days on grapes only would be required to clear the stomach and bowels of their ancient accumulations. And it is during this period that distressing symptoms often appear. Nature works thoroughly. She does not build on a rotten foundation. The purification of every part of the body must be complete before new tissue can be built.” page 47 In other words, a person on the Brandt Grape Cure can 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. I mention this because a person who begins this diet at 120 pounds or less, will get concerned when they start losing weight. This is to be expected. Having said all of that, here is the Johanna Brandt Grape Cure treatment for cancer. The Johanna Brandt Grape Cure (as modified for newer discoveries) Johanna Brandt designed a cancer treatment in 4 phases. Her first phase lasted until the cancer patient stopped losing weight or felt a lot better. The problem with a variable length phase, based on feeling better, is that a person feels better when their non-cancerous cells are given a shot of nutrients. Cancer cells steal energy, nutrients and glucose from non-cancerous cells. Thus, non-cancerous cells are very weak and “sick.” If a person has been on chemotherapy, their non-cancer cells may also be toxic. Giving a person a high dose of grape juice will make non-cancerous cells “feel good.” Thus, feeling good can be a very poor way to ascertain whether the cancer is being conquered, especially in the first few weeks. Thus, this version of the Brandt Grape Cure will be a fixed length treatment which may be repeated. If the person feels good after several weeks, that is a far better indication the cancer is actually losing the battle. (Note: It is important to remember that this protocol was developed two decades prior to the development of chemotherapy. Cancer patients who have been on chemotherapy may have even more spectacular symptoms so they may want to spend a few days transitioning from their normal diet to a pure grape diet. These transition days to not count towards the protocol.) There will be a six week cycle on this treatment. The first five weeks are the pure Brandt Grape Cure treatment (i.e. 35 days). The sixth week will allow certain other foods to be eaten. This six-week cycle will be repeated as necessary but there should be at least a month between six week cycles!! Note: If you want to start this diet immediately, but it will be a few days before you can get the grapes, then until you can get the whole grapes use store bought FROZEN purple grape juice that clearly states: “100% Grape Juice.” It is best to buy this at a health food store. Make sure it is “100%” Grape Juice.” Some people may wonder whether a person can survive on grapes, and nothing else, for 35 days. Many, many people have survived on wine for more than 35 days. Another cancer protocol, the “Breuss Total Cancer Treatment” is almost a starvation diet for 42 days and many people have safely used that protocol. This protocol allows a great deal of food, but all of that food needs to be grapes. Some powder or liquid supplements can be taken during this protocol, such as “Vibe” by Eniva or “Live” by Nuriche or Cellfood. More about that below. The First Five Weeks of the Six Week Cycle Starting THE DAY AFTER YOU GET THE GRAPES (unless you want to transition), take absolutely NOTHING into your body that is not specifically mentioned in this plan. NOTHING. No smoking, no drinking alcohol, no coffee, no French fries – NOTHING. There is NO “CANCER DIET” with this treatment. There are NO foods or drinks that are allowed to be added. Between 8:00 PM (i.e. 20:00 hours) and 8:00 AM (or pick your own 12 hours) This is the evening and overnight “water fast.” Eat absolutely nothing. You may drink “natural water,” meaning of course pure spring water, pure artesian well water, or ionized/alkaline water or even purified water. Make sure your spring water purified water or artesian well water is not treated with chlorine or fluoride. The ozone treatment or ionized water is the preferred treatment for natural water. Try to drink at least 1 gallon of natural or ionized water a day (SPREAD over the entire 24 hours). Be careful to read the ingredients (i.e. do NOT buy filtered water unless it is reverse osmosis) and do not rely on the name of the product or the name of the company. This 12-hour water fast is absolutely critical to the grape cure. It is critical that your cancer cells get “hungry” and prepare themselves to consume the next thing that comes along. Between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM This is the daytime “water and grape mush fast.” During these twelve hours you should consume between two and four litres of pure “grape mush.” If you do not have, or cannot obtain, a food processor, then you can grind the purple grape seeds with an inexpensive hand-cranked wheat grinder and eat the rest of the whole purple grapes. For those who cannot swallow the grape mush (due to the grape skins), they can juice and filter the grapes to a level of consistency they can drink. The grape mush should be partaken of SLOWLY. It should be SIPPED SLOWLY. Actually, the grape mush you are going to eat should be divided into at least several equal portions and eaten at several different times during the 12 hours you are eating the grape mush. This is essential to avoid nausea. It is also necessary to drink a lot of water about the same time you are taking the grape mush. This will also help with avoiding nausea. Nausea is frequently a major problem with this diet. So is diarrhea or constipation. The nausea may be caused by the stomach or by Herxheimer Reaction or “Herx,” which is a phenomenon many people get when a large number of microbes in the body are killed in a short period of time. According to Walter Last (Australia), “thousands of former cancer victims have testified as to the effectiveness of her [the Brandt] method. Because it is now so difficult to obtain unsprayed grapes, commercially sprayed grapes have sometimes been used after thorough washing in warm soapy water and careful rinsing.” Of course organic grapes are best. The Sixth Week of the Six Week Cycle The last week of the six week cycle can consist of any UNCOOKED, RAW, WHOLE vegetables and fruits you wish. This week is designed to give you a break, provide needed proteins, provide other nutrients that are not in the grapes, and to give your body and mind a break. The supplements should be continued during this week. Repeating the Cycle This six week cycle can be repeated as many times as needed in order to cure your cancer, but there should be a month between cycles. How do you tell when your cancer is cured? You can use orthodox methods to detect any cancer, but do not use these orthodox methods more often than once every 10 weeks. If X-Rays are involved, or invasive techniques, then do not use the methods more often than once every 20 weeks. P.E.T. scans should only be used when you are confident your cancer is gone and they generally should only be used once. If you do not use orthodox methods to evaluate your treatment, then you need to gauge the success based on the energy level of the patient, how they are able to return to normal functions, how they feel, how their weight has increased, etc. The Navarro Urine Test can also be used as a simple test: Navarro Urine Test Note About Cesium Chloride The cesium chloride treatment should NOT be used with the Brandt Grape Cure. The reason is that cesium chloride blocks glucose from getting into the cancer cells and the Brandt Grape cure uses the glucose as a transport for its cancer killing nutrients. Required Addition to the Grape Cure: Colloidal Silver Cancer is actually caused by a microbe (a pleomorphic “cell wall deficient” bacteria to be exact). Once inside a normal cell the microbe blocks the mitochondria from being able to make ATP molecules and the cell must revert to fermentation to create energy (i.e. to create ATP molecules). Thus, one way to cure cancer is to kill the microbes which are hiding inside of all cancer cells. If these microbes are killed it is a known fact that the cancer cells will be able to revert back into normal cells and normal cell metabolism (meaning the cells will be healthy again). One of the theories as to how the grape cure works is that the grape juice gets inside the cancer cells (which it is known to do) and kills the microbes which are inside the cancer cells, thus allowing some or all of the cancer cells to revert into normal cells. A microbe cannot survive for more than a few seconds in pure grape juice. This may account for why the grape cure does not create any swelling or inflammation – because no cancer cells may actually be killed by the protocol. Another substance which kills microbes is colloidal silver. If colloidal silver were mixed in with the grape juice the grape juice might “carry” the colloidal silver inside the cancer cells with it (this is a “Trojan Horse” effect), allowing the colloidal silver to help kill the microbe(s) inside the cancer cells, thus allowing the cancer cells to revert back into normal cells. The right brand of colloidal silver might supercharge, in a big way, the effect of the grape cure. The two brands of colloidal silver I recommend, by a wide margin, are: 1) ASAP Plus, which is 22 ppm silver, 2) Angstrom Silver by Rainbow Minerals. To use this addition to the grape cure, mix 8 TABLEspoons of the silver in with the grape mush you make for a day’s use. Eight TABLEspoons is equal to 4 ounces, so make sure you buy enough bottles to last you for the treatment. Do not start at six tablespoons, start at one tablespoon and then build-up, by one tablespoon a day, until you get to 8 tablespoons. Thus, day one will have one tablespoon mixed in with the grape mush, day two will have two tablespoons, etc. Here is a vendor of ASAP Plus: Vendor of “ASAP Plus” (22 PPM) Use Google to find a vendor of Rainbow Mineral’s Angstrom silver. Strongly Recommended Addition to the Grape Cure: Cellect Recent experiences with using Cellect have convinced us that Cellect is a superb addition to any alternative cancer treatment. It would be especially beneficial when using the Brandt Grape Cure because it should not interfere with the way the Brandt Grape cure works. Cellect was developed by Fred Eickorn, who was an organ transplant researcher and is now the president of the National Cancer Research Foundation. The product can be purchased by visiting this website: Cellect (click ‘Products’ and pick a ‘Maxi-Blend’ powder) Note: Do not buy the pills because you cannot mix them in with the grape mush and they would be much more expensive. Doses of Cellect: Days 1-2, one scoop a day (added to grape mush), Days 3-4, two scoops a day (added to grape mush), Days 5-6, three scoops a day (added to grape mush), Thereafter, three or four scoops a day (added to grape mush). The number of scoops can be increased for more advanced cancers. Very advanced cancer patients have built up to 8 or 10 scoops a day on other protocols. This product is required for those who can obtain it. Strongly Recommended Addition to the Grape Cure: Limu Juice Limu juice is a natural product from the sea. It is a special kind of seaweed mixed in with fruits and vegetables. Its affect on cancer is well proven. A therapeutic dose is 16 ounces a day. This is a superb protocol by itself, and will be a welcome addition to the grape cure. While adding Limu Juice is far above the 5% “rule of thumb,” remember that this juice is a very potent cancer treatment by itself, thus you can ignore the 5% rule in this case. You should take the Limu Juice during the twelve hours you are NOT eating the grapes. Normally, Limu Juice is taken in several small doses spread out during the day. When added to the Grape Cure a person can take two small doses in the morning (before the Grape Cure) and two small doses after the Grape Cure is finished for the day. There are many vendors of Limu Juice, but there is only one vendor which I have seen do marvelous things for cancer patients. Here is an article with more information about Limu Juice and information on how to buy it: Information and Vendor of Limu Juice ( Reproduced from www.cancertutor.com) Except for the supplements this treatment is absolutely free as it replaces the normal food for the patient. Note : 1) Do not use this treatment for fast growing cancers like pancreatic cancer. 2) This treatment is not recommended for brain cancer patient. 3) It is not the best treatment for bone cancer. 4) Diabetic patient should replace ‘grape much’ with carrot/red beet juice. In any case periodic sugar level in the blood is to be monitored. Better to consult your doctor treating diabetes before using this protocol. ( Reproduced from  with some editing) Note : Maintain a diary recording conditions of patient before start of the therapy including pathological results and record body weight. Repeat the same every two weeks & record. For any clarification do not hesitate to contact . The therapies are continuously updated in my website  based on experience and further study and you are advised to visit this website frequently for updates. If you get reasonable benefit out of this therapy, write in Newspaper about it so that others get hope for survival and confidence on alternative therapies. Remember that alternative therapies work better only if the patient is not administered with chemotherapy or radiation. However, even after administering chemotherapy it would not harm and rather do good to the patient. However, effectiveness of the therapies are greatly reduced after chemotherapy.
