Healing Cancer from the Inside Out

This is a three hour fundraiser featuring the must see DVD Healing Cancer from the Inside Out and the Rave Diet Lifestyle book. Not only do these fundraiser premiums offer a real critique of current cancer care but they propose both in principle and thru the examples of people who have successfully checked cancer a plant based diet focus as the main approach to healing their cancer problem. The DVD critiques the current methodology of statistical sharing with respect to cancer survival and chemotherapy. It becomes clear that in many instances people are being misinformed. The connection between cancer and animal protein is also established. The Rave Diet Book offers over two hundred plant based recipes to address cancer and overcome a number of chronic diseases. This was the highest earning premium for WBAI’s May fundraiser as of May 26th, 2009.
