The Grape Cure

by Johanna Brandt

Abnormal growths, cancers, tumors, ulcers, abcesses and fibrous masses seem to be dissolved by the powerful chemical agent in the grape. Diseased tissues and fatty degenerations, every form of morbid matter, is apparently broken up into minute particles and thrown into the blood stream to be carried to the organs of excretion. No wonder then that complications arise. To the inexperienced person it is disconcerting to find strange and new symptoms of disease developing under the Grape Cure. He needs someone with experience to explain to him that poisons which have been locked up in the system for many years have broken loose and are running riot in the blood. Hence that unusual rise of temperature, that eruption on the skin, those splitting headaches, those attacks of retching and purging, that discharge of mucus, those undue sweatings. The anxious mind of the patient should be set at rest by the assurance that all these are highly favorable symptoms of the process of purification being carried on internally—positively prove that he is still vital enough to respond to the treatment. The avenues of excretion—the bowels, kidneys, lungs and skin—are still in good working order. Let him then closely examine the stools, the urine, the perspiration, and let him rejoice with the appearance of every new evidence that Nature is still able to cast out the poisons that have been dislodged bv the magical action of the grape.
