Eunice Weaver’s fight began when she was nine years old. She lived in Brazil. As a child, Eunice had been taught to keep away from lepers---people with a terrible disease called leprosy(麻风病). People stayed away from them and said that they were being punished by their sins(罪孽). Lepers were sent to live alone.

When Eunice was nine, she saw a group of lepers begging for food outside her house. She knew one of the lepers as the daughter of next door neighbor.

Many cancer patients are finding new hope in an unusual approach to cancer treatment. The common method has been developed by Carl Simonton, a specialist in the science of tumors. 　55 can sometimes be "truly amazing," he says, when a cancer　 56　 lets his mind take part in the treatment.

Simonton remembers that his first patient might have been thought to be a "　 57”　 case by some. "He was a sixty-one-year-old man with very severe throat cancer.　 He had lost a great deal of weight.　 He could 　58 　swallow his own saliva and could eat no food.

"I taught him to　 59　 and mentally see his disease," Simonton says. "Then I had him　 60　 an army of white blood cells coming, attacking and 　61　 the cancer cells. The results of the treatment were both exciting and frightening. Within two weeks his cancer had noticeably become smaller and he was quickly gaining weight. I say it was ' 62 ' because I had never seen such a change.　 I wasn't sure what was going on.　 I also didn't know what I would do if things went wrong. But　 63 　didn't go wrong.

"We may believe that we have the power in our own bodies to fight cancer as well as the power to 　　64　 　the disease in the first place.　 With those patients who are willing to stay with us and try, we always find that the cancer has filled some emotional need."
