This article is a tribute to my doctor who retired three years ago at the venerable age of 70. I applaud her because she approached her practice first holistically with her patients before resorting to giving them prescription pills which sometimes did more harm than good. She comes from Czechoslovakia and told me every other doctor from her country was first a naturopath before general practitioner.

My doctor has a horror of the big "C" she calls it. If a patient was diagnosed with cancer, she went into battle mode, getting out all ammunition possible and attacked it with a vengeance. If I had cancer, I would want her on my side.

Her husband, who had a double PHD was always very skeptical about her methods until one time, through a routine check-up she slipped in the AMAS test and found out he had full-blown cancer. With tears she described to me the fear of helping her husband fight this fatal disease. But fight she did and his cancer has not resurfaced since. Her secret? Essiac and Noni juice, plus a few little hints of what to avoid in our lives so cancer does not take hold. ( From that day on, she claims her husband will not be without his Noni juice and will make a special trip to her office to get another bottle).

First of all, for anyone interested in whether they have cancer or not, can take a simple blood test and have a lab do the AMAS test. The AMAS test is a determination test which stands for "Anti-Malignin Antibody in Serum" with Target Reagent, where it will tell you that you have cancer but not where the cancer is located. If you are tested twice for positivity, it is 99.9% accurate. The overall results are categorized as such: inconclusive, normal, borderline and elevated. If it is designated as borderline or elevated, a second test is necessary to ascertain its effectiveness. ( like having two opinions).

I myself took the test in 2004, diagnosed as having borderline cancer. Taking my doctor's plan of attack, the second test cam back clean. If you are skeptical about the AMAS test, many references about the test can be found in the medical journal writings "Cancer Detection and Prevention" dated from the years 1985-2000. As well, writings have been done by the National Cancer Institute (1977), and the American Association for Cancer Research (1996).

My doctor's approach was to have me take "Essiac" for three months, twice daily along with two ounces of noni juice. Then she handed me a piece of paper asking if I was at one with God, whether
