Sybil

Journalist Debbie Nathan reveals the true story behind the famous case of Sybil, the woman with sixteen different personalities.

This is the true story of a woman with sixteen personalities - two of whom were men - and her struggle, against overwhelming odds, for health and happiness.

Suddenly confronted with a diagnosis of brain cancer, Sybil, a young mother of two grown sons and a one-month-old grandchild, faced a dead-end diagnosis. A Spartanburg oncologist gave her a death sentence of three months without treatment. He conjectured that with chemotherapy and radiation she might possibly live a year. Sybil rejected both of those roads of no return in favor of a more promising direction. She found hope in a Florida clinical trial using a formula taken from the Aloe Vera plant (Albarin). Her choice was to take the high road of hopefulness and leave her North Carolina home to go to St. Petersburg accompanied by her mother and brother. The cheerful atmosphere inside the alternative Florida clinic, in the face of the life-threatening illnesses being treated there, impressed them from day one. The positive attitudes of both the staff and the patients kept Sybil's spirits high. She was comfortable and happy during the natural therapy without the devastating side effects of chemo. The non-invasive formula has proved successful for many cancer patients. Her choice was the best of her options. Sybil's Choice is the unforgettable story of Sybil's quest to find a cure for her cancer.
