I have two friends that chose Gerson therapy for their cancer or precancerous conditions and were very successful. One with ovarian cancer came back home after treatment in a Gerson clinic and asked her conventional doctor to operate and see what had happened. When he did, he found shrunken tumors that tested negative for cancer. This therapy is not approved by the FDA, NCI, etc., and it is not funded by insurance or Medicare, etc. It requires a great deal of organic produce for the juice required (13 8 oz glasses of juice a day) and the vegetarian meals. But there are no side effects in natural and nontoxic treatments like this. Has anyone else tried it?

I haven't heard of it, but am fascinated by so much juice! Seems that would wreak havoc with one's blood sugar, promote fat, and thereby store estrogen...Maybe I'm off base with this? Anne 2002 IDC stage 1, grade 1, rads & AI

This is a very documented protocol. If you hear of people going to Mexico or Germany for treatment this is what they are usually doing. It does have documented success stories. This is the basis for all cancer juicing diets. (Halleiujah Diet & Dr Issels for just a few.) Carbs from fruit and veggies to not promote fat. Good carbs never do. They can make high sugar in the body if you are HEAVY juicign, but with a high running body flushing system this moves the body very fast and that is why there is so much juicing. This is also usually done with IV vitamin C. Estrogen is not a issue when on natural diets. I sorry I believe mainstream research is leaving people to believe that estrogen in food is a problem. I don't believe this. (I love that food estrogen's are problems, but not tell you to change your diet after your dx??) They are finding estrogen's in everything. There is too much bc that is NOT hormone positive. This diet is hard to do. You do loss a lot of weight but there are people who have had excellent results. You can not pick up a natural healing book with this diet in it. Flalady trip neg stageIV spread to IBC & 7 recur's, Treat Alt & Conv

My naturopath says that for normal people (without diabetes) the natural sugar/nutrients from the juice is stored by the body (the liver) and released slowly as needed. Processed cane sugar, on the other hand, hits the bloodstream quickly and feeds cancer. There is also a difference, I understand, between natural fruit and veggie sugar (carrots are high in natural sugar, for example). When refined sugar is digested (or any processed food for that matter), in order for that nutrition to be used by the body, missing elements must be drawn from the body itself to create a complete food. Thus, when we eat highly processed, heated, (pasteurized) food, the killed or missing elements must be replaced before that food can be used. The missing elements can be taken from muscles, bones, and joints, etc. If this is true, no wonder there are so many problems with arthritis and osteoporosis, etc.! |

I have bought the Norwalk juicer that is used in the Gerson Therapy. It extracts an amazing amount of juice from the veggies and fruit. The juice is like and elixir of life. I am following some Gerson recipes - basically a vegan diet. The basis of the diet is juicing and coffee enemas. However, I do not do all the juicing and don't do the enemas. You should go to the Gerson Institute (business offices in San Diego, clinic in Tijuana) to learn how to do things properly. There are wonderful success stories of greatly prolonged life and NED for people who have followed this diet. I recommend anyone looking into it. You can "google" it. JM86 |
