‘I wasn’t a person on chemo, I was a chemical cocktail - a body full of toxins that were attacking every cell.”

Talia has cured her inoperable brain tumour by kicking conventional treatment and going back to the basics - a simple recipe of vegetables, fruit, and exercise. Now, by promoting her lifestyle, she wants to be a hero to other cancer patients.

You are what you eat, but is everyone swallowing her philosophy? An incredulous story of one person’s desperation for acceptance.
