Beata Bishop, a former BBC journalist, was devastated when a mole on her leg was diagnosed as malignant melanoma, one of the fastest-spreading types of cancer. She underwent painful, disfiguring surgery and was told her problems were over. Within a year the cancer had spread into her lymphatic system. Refusing more extensive surgery, Beata chose instead to follow the Gerson Therapy, a treatment developed by an eminent German physician, the late Dr. Max Gerson. His therapy, based on optimum nutrition and thorough detoxification, appealed to her because it aims to restore the damaged immune system in order to break down and flush out the malignancy. Beata spent two months at a clinic in Mexico learning the theory and practice of the Gerson Therapy before returning home to London where she followed the intensive regimen for two years. It was hard work but today, nearly thirty years later, she is fit and well, enjoying life to the fullest. A Time To Heal is a personal record of courage and determination, and a testament to the efficacy of the Gerson Therapy for treating chronic diseases.
