Yes, cancer has been beaten inexpensively and without all the trials of traditional cancer therapy. This is the story of Percy Weston, an Australian sheep farmer, who wrote a book Cancer, Cause and Cure, a book that is still a big seller in Australia and New Zealand, but almost impossible to find in the US. (I wonder why!) He wrote it in 2000 when he was 97. He was vigorous and healthy until he died in his sleep at the age of 100 in 2004. He wrote it because he wanted to share the great truths he had discovered about healing himself and his animals, as a farmer.

In the introduction he wrote: "Everybody can beat cancer without expensive drugs, hospitalization and doctors, just as I have." And also in the book he said: "If I may offer myself as an example, old age need not make senile old cripples out of us."

Percy had wanted to be a medical doctor, but he left college (where he had a flair for chemistry) at age 20 to help on his father's farm. About that time, the new fertilizer, super-phosphate, was beginning to be used on farm pastures and crops in Australia. This high-phosphorus fertilizer doubled the growth of pasture grass and crops.

One day, in 1932, Percy was helping a neighboring farmer kill about 100 mice that had been eating his stored wheat - wheat that had been grown on soil that had been heavily fertilized with super-phosphate. To his horror, Percy saw ugly cancer growths on all parts of the bodies of the dead mice. Phosphorus is an essential mineral, but it becomes a deadly poison in excess or when not matched to calcium intake.

Percy was using super-phosphate on his own vegetable garden. At age 31 he felt drained of energy and strength. Then he read a book about the mineral content of foods. He realized that he had been living on foods that are naturally high in phosphorus (meat, poultry, fish, and eggs) and grown in soil heavily fertilized with super-phosphate. Immediately he changed to low phosphorus foods, and soon his energy and strength returned.

Eventually Percy bought his own sheep farm and like other farmers he used super-phosphate in his pastures. The result was a more lush growth of grass. but along with it came a plague of worms in his sheep, and at the end of 5 years his sheep were showing cancer lesions on their ears, arthritis in their legs, kidney problems, infections, and low lambing.
