How George Cairns cured his Prostate cancer?

A little over three years ago George Cairns suffered from Prostate Cancer. His condition was very bad. He lost every hope to survive. Then a voice came to him and said, “You have to do something for your cancer. Take the root of the dandelion. Don’t expect a miracle, but slowly you will improve.” As soon as he got up next morning, he dug some roots and started to prepare it. Three weeks later the pain in his back and side was gone and bowels had improved. Five and half month later doctor could find no cancer in his body at all.

He then wanted to find someone else to try it. Finally, he was told a friend about it, who was dying of lung cancer. He had cancer in both lungs and was bed ridden. They were tapping his lungs. He had been given 4 to 6 weeks to live. After he had been on dandelion root powder about six weeks, he was up and around doing his chores and driving his car. He went to his doctor’s office, and the doctors could not believe it. They took him to the hospital and gave him a CAT scan. They found no cancer lesions in his lungs and said it was a miracle!

He then put an advertisement in the paper, and four people told that they would try it. Slowly one person told another and it spread. There was a fair amount of people taking it for different kinds of cancer and several for other things (Cairns). 

Procedure

To make the powder from the dandelion root you must follow these directions. Any changes and it won’t work. Dig a handful of dandelion roots any time of the year, it doesn’t matter. Cut the leaves off just below the crown. DO NOT WASH. Then they must be dried around 1000 F. Do it in an incubator with no water. You can also dry them under a heat light bulb if you raise or lower it so it’s 1000F. You can also use the sun or put them in the attic if it’s not too hot. It takes about 5 or 6 days in the incubator. When you break a root and it snaps, then it is ready to powder.

Dose

Now take a little over one half teaspoon once a day at any time and mix it with water, orange juice, etc. Do not use in soft drinks, liquor, or anything hot. When mixed, use it all. Don’t let it stand around. Keep the powder in a dry place. After taking it three or four days, you will feel good, but nothing else. That is because your blood is building up. When you blood is happy, you’re happy. In most cases, this will build your immune system in three days to three weeks to the point it takes back control of cancer cells and thus the cancer stops spreading. In most cases it is going to help. You just feel a little better each week. After three weeks most of the pain will be gone in your back and you know it’s working if you had pain there like I did. If you have bone cancer in the spine, it will take three months to work. This is not an overnight cure. The sooner you start, the quicker you heal your cancer.
