Utilizing organic nutrition, detoxification, and other techniques, a bio-repair system attempts to allow the body to heal itself from diseases, such as cancer. By abiding to the guidelines of the system, Doris Sokosh has managed to remain free of cancer for nearly forty years.
In 1971, after being diagnosed with cancer, Sokosh received a radical mastectomy and a hysterectomy for treatment. She experienced severe weight loss due to these operations. When she weighed less than ninety pounds, her doctor believed that her condition was terminal and sent her home to spend time with her family.
