Book DescriptionSynopsis: This book is about the attempts of the authors to have some pharmaceutical companies test herbs for aids and cancer cures The herbs in question were given to one of the authors in a dream vision About the book: This sequence of events actually occurred in the lives of Prince and Gaynelle Kaywood In 1991 Gaynelle had a past озпби life reading done The reading was conducted by the college of metaphysics in Missouri According to Gaynelle's reading, she was alive in Africa around 600 BC The reading stated that she was a herbal healer, and that she was highly sought after by members of her tribe for help with medical problems, and also for advice on private matters Eleven years later in the Spring of 2001, Gaynelle gives Princea piece of paper that has four herbs written on it She then tells Prince that "these are the herbs that will cure aids and cancer " Gaynelle said that she saw herself in a vision using these herbs She was giving these herbs to a man who had warts all over his body, and he was dying After she gave the herbs to this man, he got up under his own power, and later returned with two chickens for her in appreciation for saving his life Prince, knowing that his wife had no medicinal or herbal credentials(not in this life), did not really know what to think about what his wife was telling him "Has she gone over on the deep, he thought? Could she have been hallucinating"? It wasn't until Prince decided to do research on the herbs involved that he himself became a believer, because each herb that was written on the paper seemed to be an adversary to cancer and aids They discovered later that one of these herbs was being used in an underground experiment in San Francisco with the aim of trying to find a cure for aids and cancer Prince and Gaynelle then tried to convince several pharmaceutical companies to do research using these herbs, but none would listen to them, because these companies are bombarded every day with possible cures Another problem was that Prince and Gaynelle did not have any medicinal or herbal credentials, and these herbs could not be patented They finally decided that the only way to get this information out to the public was to write about it in a book During the entire process of researching the herbs that were on the paper, Prince kept saying "this is unbelievable" Thus the title - An Unbelievable Story.  2004 г 180 стр ISBN 1413717640.
