How ginger root juice and lasers saved Patrick Swayze’s life

Patrick Swayze is looking remarkably well for someone who is supposed to be dead.

The Dirty Dancer was given only five weeks to live by doctors when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March.

But seemingly nothing really can put Patrick Swayze in the corner as he was pictured at LA Airport yesterday looking like he Cheshire cat that got the cream.

He’s put on weight again, and even smiled for the cameras as he made his way to Chicago to begin filming his new TV series The Beast.

So what’s the secret of his success? Is it a miracle?

Well the 55-year-old actor thinks so.

He said: “I am cookin’. I’m a miracle. I don’t know why.”

Well, we are not sure if God has anything to do with it, but ‘cooking’ could well be more of a clue as apparently he has totally revamped his diet to include more vitamins.

He’s also been drinking fresh ginger root juice every day.

Ginger root juice and a healthy diet. We only wish it was that simple.

Unfortunately, Patrick Swayze’s recovery has also been aided by intense chemo sessions and a pioneering new Cyberknife radiotherapy treatment.

It basically involves a laser firing massive doses of radiation on to the tumour.

It is certainly working for Swayze, who added: “My treatments are working and I am winning the battle.”
