 “'This book will change your life' is printed all
over the cover of The Dice Man by Luke Reinhardt.
Luke didn't do it for me, but the concept of allowing
one's life to be dictated by the throw of a dice did
bring clarity to the fact that cancer, in its many
forms, can sometimes seem as random as a throw of
the dice. From day one of life we now know that one-in-three
of us is going to suffer from some form of cancer,
and for many of us living in the western world the
options for treatment seem to be very limited: where
choices do exist they are often offered with chemotherapy
or radiotherapy as the main course. In Asia food is
eaten to prevent cancer, in the West it is usually
the cause!
“From our experience, it would appear that many
people seem to have lost faith in what the National
Health Service is able to offer to cancer sufferers
in the UK. As a result, the internet is taking over
as the primary source of information on cancer treatment,
and the problem that most people face is deciding
which treatment is downright cranky and which is going
to do some good. In setting up this website with an
energy that is worthy of praise, John Davidson has
gone a long way to providing sound information in
relation to cancer treatment.” |
Between 1993 and 1999, Richard Edwards worked for the
UK government as a Land Economist, advising the more
wealthy landowners on how to cut their reliance on Government
subsidies. Since 2000, with the support of his wife
and a few close friends, he has built Fruiting
Bodies, a small company in the Brecon Beacons (Wales,
UK) which manufactures mushroom-based liquid extracts.
The company is currently expanding its mushroom growing
facility from a one-acre site into a seventy-acre woodland,
which may indicate that their message is getting through.
The book that did change Richard's life was Medicinal
Mushrooms, by Christopher Hobbs! |
