Dr.Cynthia Jayasooriya is a Sri Lankan Doctor, who led the pathway for the researchers to find new “Cure for the cancer”. Curiosity which made her to find a cure for her own disease might have opened the gates for the researcher to find a cure for the cancer. This is her story.
Dr.Cynthia Jayasooriya had a Cancer in her Urethra seven years ago, where her one Kidney, Urethra and Part of Bladder was surgically removed as a treatment. Then she had undergone radiotherapy for the abdominal region as the second part of the treatment. She had regular checkups in following years and she had a healthy normal life after that. After seven years of surgery she suddenly observed blood in her urine. Immediately she had undergone investigations, where they have found it was a secondary deposit of Urethral cancer which she had previously. But this time it was in the urinary bladder. Dr.Cynthia Jayasooriya had the second surgery to remove cancer form her bladder.
Her curiosity made her a researcher to search about a cure for this life threatening disease. Suddenly she came across a treatment where, eating Apricot Nut as a treatment for the cancer without chemotherapy by Americans and Australians. Apricot nut contains Vitamin B17. Vitamin B 17 was found by British Doctor who was working in Afghanistan several decades ago. In an area in Afghanistan people used to weigh the wealth by the number of Apricot trees they have in their garden. They used to chew and eat this Apricot nut as a habit and this British doctor observed people in this area are cancer free. That was decades ago.
It was difficult for Dr.Cynthia Jayasooriya to find Apricot in Sri Lanka. Then she searched whether there are any Fruits, vegetables or plant in Sri Lanka, which is rich in Vitamin B 17. She found that there is a high amount of Vitamin B17. Then she started eating Manioc every day. She used to eat around 100 grams every day for more than a month. At her appointment with her oncologist next month she had done a cytoscopy in the urinary bladder. Amazingly it was perfectly healthy. Then she had undergone a Biopsy. There they couldn’t even find a suitable site for the biopsy. Bladder was that much healthy.
She was very much enthusiastic with the results and she started to tell what she had achieved with “Manioc”. She repeated the test and every time it was perfectly healthy.
