The first of six Forty Minutes documentary programmes filmed at the Bristol Cancer Help Centre. Every Wednesday a new group of patients arrives for a two-day crash-course in self-healing. Some are here as a last resort, others are rid of the disease and wish to prevent its recurrence. There is no radiation, no chemotherapy, no surgery, but a philosophy designed to fight the disease from within by harnessing the power of the mind, body and spirit to destroy the malignant cells. The Centre never uses the word ' cure '; it speaks only of ' getting better'
