This extraordinary biographical novel is a faithful account of the heroic life of Dr. Max Gerson, originator of the most significant medically-based cure for cancer to emerge in modern times. Beginning in 1933, the novel details Gerson's flight from Nazi Germany and the subsequent struggles of Andrej Markhoff (an emigre Russian aristocrat and former patient) to write the doctor's story. Years later, Guliano Dego recovers Markoff's papers and is at once captured by the drama of Gerson's life. He travels to Mexico, to Gerson's clinic in exile, where he observes the method first-hand and uncovers new and shocking facts in the plot to suppress Gerson's work. In the novel's gripping denouement, the author finally discovers both the fate of Andrej Markoff and the forces behind international medical collusion.

Seller's Description:
Like New. Inscribed and Signed By Author Slight edgewear. Inscribed "For Regina Melverny, with all best wishes Giuliano Dego." Doctor Max is a novelistic treatment of Dr. Gerson's life and work. The story begins in 1933 when Gerson, having already developed his cancer therapy, is forced by Hitler's racial laws to leave Germany. To keep his memory and method alive, Count Andrej Markhoff-an emigre Russian aristocrat whom Gerson has cured of the "incurable" disease, lupus-decides to write the great physician's biography. But hired Nazi assassins set off after the Count and the group of colorful characters who have gathered around him: an ailing child (undergoing Gerson's treatment with the help of Fritz Mozart, Gerson's humorous and aging factotum), a former prostitute, a mute dog, Markhoff himself vanishes, and the author, who recovers his papers, inherits his passion for presenting Gerson's life. The scene shifts to a Mexican clinic, where the author observes the Gerson method at close hand, while incurring a new set of adventures as he unveils and further documents the anti-Gerson conspiracy. A surprise ending rounds off the tale.
