A grandfather, who was told by
doctors that his cancer was 'incurable', has been given the all-clear
less than four months later - after trying a different diet.
Allan Taylor could have been forgiven for fearing the worst when doctors told him they could do nothing to treat his condition.
But the 78-year-old would not give up, and instead searched the internet for an alternative method to fight his cancer.
His diet included powdered grass, curry spices, apricot seeds and selenium tablets.
Mr
Taylor made the changes after he received a letter on April 30, telling
them were was no point having any more chemotherapy as it would not
cure him and neither would an operation.
'They said if they cut out the cancer it would just pop up somewhere else,' he told the Sunday Mirror.
'But I was determined to stay positive and decided to find my own cure.
'I was determined to stay positive and decided to find my own cure'
'On August 6 I got a letter from
North Tees hospital to say a scan had shown my cancer had gone and "the
abnormality is no longer visible". I’m all clear.'
Mr
Taylor's ordeal began in February last year when he noticed a two-inch
lump in his abdomen. He was sent for a scan and told he had colon
cancer.
Last September he underwent an
operation, during which a surgeon removed a nine-inch section of his
colon, and he began a three-month course of chemotherapy.
But in April this year he was told the cancer had spread to small intestine.
Mr Taylor responded by tapping the words 'colon cancer cures' into an internet search engine.
He used the information, together with advice from his local health food store, to devise his new diet.
He believes that having a teaspoon of powdered barley grass in hot water every morning and night was particularly crucial. 'There is no question in my mind that my diet saved my life,' he said. 'And all it cost was £30 a week.'
