Do heroes still live?

"Yes," says Bella, a woman who had mounting health problems that doctors hadn't been able to cure for 25 years. A year ago she had wasted away, near death. "He put me on a diet that reversed 9 of my 12 health problems in a matter of months. The other 3 problems are getting better, too. He is my god," she says jokingly but sincerely.
What are the chances that a person who was a sickly child with ADD and dyslexia, was raised in a home full of dogmatic religious and fascistic principles with regular sibling and paternal abuse, in near constant fear, caused a failed teenage marriage by age 19 and developed blood and bone cancers at 20, would ever surmount his conditioning, cure himself and dedicate his life to helping mankind rid itself of disease?
Nutritionist Aajonus Vonderplanitz experienced, achieved and is doing all of that, and fascinatingly more. At age 50 he outlives his medical death sentence for cancers by 29 years. He looks ten years younger, vibrates excellent health, has an athletic physic and does not exercise.
Like Hippocrates, the father of Medicine, Aajonus (pronounced like homogenous without the hum) adheres to the principle: Let food be your medicine. He has helped many people heal everything from acne to cancers, simply with natural-food combinations. The mother of a woman who reversed colon cancer in a mere five weeks with Aajonus' dietary program says, "It's just common sense."
Aajonus says that we are absent of this common-sense approach to curing disease because we look to symptoms instead of causes. "The cause," he says, "is the altering of nutritional principles that began millions of years ago when life developed. Life eats life. In our industrialized, medicament-oriented society we process and 'contaminate our food. Disease is the result of cooking, processing and poisoning the life-giving principles of food and pollution, causing toxicity that deteriorates the body. Not because of a bunch of abhorrent viruses, or radical genes. It's so sad that microbe-terror keeps us ignorant, confused, prejudiced, diseased and suffering."
Pamela, an enchantingly luminous woman of 50, says that her body began to naturally dissolved 63 tumors on Aajonus' diet when she was a week from death. "Scientists and doctors," she says, "have repeatedly dismissed my healing as a `miracle'. They should simply admit that their intrusive approaches are harmful. They wage war in the body. Where there is war there is mass destruction. Aajonus .nurtures the body into healing as Nature, or God, intended. They should embrace Aajonus' approach to health."
To share his common‑sense wisdom with the world, Aajonus spent 5 years writing his book WE WANT TO LIVE. The first half of his book is a humble narrative of his own fascinating story interlaced within the story of saving his son from critical brain injuries and coma sustained in a near fatal car accident, ala naturale. The second half of the book is proven food remedies for hundreds of diseases.
His philanthropic nature does not stop there. One third of the book's profits will go toward acquiring and providing land for primitive indigenous people all over the world, and land and means for organic ranches and farms.
Over 15 years, a bundle of money was spent on failed medical procedures for the 23-year-old son of an insurance broker, suffering insomnia since childhood. After 4 days of following Aajonus' advice, his son sleeps. The insurance broker's company funded the publishing of Aajonus' book and plans to save people's lives, and insurance companies billions in medical expenses.
Aajonus says his food research and experiments will continue. He plans to develop health clinics that offer only food as remedies. At present most alternative clinics exist outside of the U.S.A. because medical lobbying has caused them to be outlawed. "No jury in their right mind is going to find me guilty of helping people heal terminal diseases with food. Especially considering, all that medical doctors have to offer is butchering surgery, burning radiation and poisoning chemotherapy that reduces the quality of life," he says with concern and hope.
