Little did I know that this chance
encounter would transform
my life forever, leading me to
juice-fasting on celery, cucumber,
lemon, garlic and ginger for 150 days.
The reason for my tranformation
was that I was vastly overweight and
needed to give myself the best chance
to fight cancer.
The guest who opened my eyes was
Rian Torres, the owner of a retreat
centre in Kings Worthy, some 20 miles
away. She informed me that I would
not be able to fight the cancer properly
unless I drastically changed my diet.
I had been told a few months previously
that the prostate cancer I had
been fighting for 13 years was now in
my spine and ribs. The doctors said
unless I accepted chemotherapy now,
it would only be a matter of months
before the cancer did me in.
I had been disillusioned with conventional
treatment for some time
and was suffering various side effects
from the medication I was taking.
My weight had ballooned to 23
stone (322 lbs.) and I was riddled with
stomach ulcers. My blood pressure
and cholesterol levels had soared.
As Rian arrived at teatime, I was
about to tuck in a homemade chicken
burger, chips and vegetables. Rian
questioned my choice of food and
said I wasn’t doing myself any
favors if I was going to fight cancer.
She said I would have to “go raw,”
and the sooner, the better.
Rian told me about Hippocrates
Health Institute and how their Life
Transformation Program could help
me fight cancer. She went on to say I
should not be eating meat or cooked
food. I should be eating good wholesome
food, not rubbish. First I would
have to remove some of the harmful
substances which had built up in my
body over the years and that’s where
the juicing would help.
Dr. Brian Clement, the director
of Hippocrates Health Institute,
was speaking in London soon and
Rian said I should not miss this. I
was determined to get there. I have
to say I was not disappointed; the
talk was inspiring. I decided I must

travel to the United States and
visit Hippocrates.
It was nine months before I could
get to Hippocrates in Florida. In
the beginning all did not go well.
Hippocrates was everything I had
expected and more, but in the first
two days by the time I had finished
my green lunch, I was too tired to attend
the afternoon lecture. By Friday,
things had improved so much that
I was able to stay awake all day and
attend all the lectures and treatments.
The treatments I was receiving on a
daily basis were helping my movements
and relieving my pain.
The Hippocrates approach is no
easy solution or quick fix. You have to
stick to the basics. Hippocrates gives
you the knowledge and the tools. The
rest is up to you. When I left three
weeks later, I was like a new man.
My diet is something I am continuing
to work on.
In my case it has given me much
needed extra time with my lovely
wife, Sarah, and my quality of life
has dramatically improved.
William Elder with his wife, Sarah
My name is William Elder and I live in Southampton, England, with my wife Sarah.
Together we have been running a guest house for the past 12 years. Customers have
asked us for some very strange requests during that time. So when a woman who
checked in for three nights said she would need space in our fridge for her vegetables
and room in our kitchen to juice them, I thought nothing of it.
My Quest
for Health
Stage IV Cancer
by Annette Burns : County Sligo, Ireland
I had an operation in November 2007 to remove a 20-cm (8-inch) tumor. However, three
weeks into radiation therapy in February 2008, another tumor appeared. The surgeon
decided that he would have me in the hospital the following week to remove my leg and
part of my thigh. He called for a PET scan to “see if the cancer had traveled anywhere.”
A few days later, he told me the PET scan had revealed that the cancer had spread to
my lungs, so he would not proceed with the amputation he had planned.
My doctor explained that
with the few months I had
left, I would have to spend
the rest of my days in the hospital
recovering from the amputation if
he removed my leg. He said he would
speak to his oncology colleague about
chemotherapy but his view was that it
would have little or no effect on such
aggressive tumors.
We did proceed with chemotherapy,
and I had six cycles beginning in
the beginning of March 2008 and
finished five months later. The doctors
were amazed at the response. They
had hoped at best to keep the tumors
at bay, but the chemo had actually
reduced them.
I went to Hippocrates Health
Institute in November 2008 and
learned important things about diet. I
was already aware of the importance
of the mind.
Incidentally, although the surgeon
had only given me a few months to
live, I never believed him. I, as well as
my husband, Henry, and the rest of
my loving family, maintained a strong
belief that I would be fine.
I have had four scans since then
and each has shown great results. The
latest one (May 2011) suggests there
is no evidence of any tumors. Oddly
enough, I saw the oncologist yesterday
and he said there was no need for a
scan this visit. He just wanted to know
how I was feeling. His view is that the
tumors must never have been there in
the first place. “How else would they
have disappeared? It’s highly unlikely
that it’s a miracle since they very
rarely happen,” he said.
I have attempted to be completely
raw. In the cold climate where I live, I
have found it very difficult. This said,
I do not eat meat of any kind and I
don’t have any dairy. I stay away from
sugary foods and I have wheatgrass
juice and sprouts every day. I do affirmations
and visualizations each day
and keep a gratitude list.
I find it incredible that a doctor
would suggest his profession made a
mistake rather than accept and admit
that lifestyle changes can reverse
catastrophic disease.
I am incredibly thankful and
happy with my results. Thanks,
Hippocrates, for the role you played in
my recovery.
