The Gerson Therapy: The Proven Nutritional Program to Fight Cancer and Other Illnesses, Cover may vary

I had heard about the Gerson Therapy from a close friend who's co worker had stage 4 lung cancer and attempted this therapy as care. After a few months of the therapy, the cancer had reversed and the lung cancer slowly dissipated. Three years later he is living a normal life, running every morning and no longer dealing with cancer. I thought this to be unbelievable, until another friend was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and given 6 months to live unless a liver transplant was conducted. After taking himself off of his 12 medications and completing the Gerson Therapy for 30 days, he no longer needed a transplant and doctors were dumbfounded. They had no answer as to why his liver had become healthy again. My friend told me this story two months before I had my first gallbladder attack. I was so sick, I could not eat anything other than fruit without having extreme pain in my upper right abdomen and feeling unbearably nauseous. I lost 12 pounds in 10 days and became so malneurished due to my body not properly digesting food that there were days when I could not form proper sentences. In my head I knew what I wanted to say, but my brain could not get the words to my mouth. This was extremely scary for me, as I had never had health problems like this before and I am the only person in my immediate family without a digestive disease. My brother and sister having ulcerative colitis, my dad chrone's and my mother celiac. I went to six different doctors, had numerous tests completed and no one could tell me what was happening. The only reason I now know I had a gallbladder attack was because I researched it myself, obtaining numerous books on gallbladder and liver problems and studying them until I could complete a self diagnosis. When I suggested this may be the problem to one specific doctor on my 9th visit with her, she simply told me 'yes, that could be.' No one could tell me what was wrong, so I found the answers myself. Through part of my research, I found the Gerson Therapy and remembered the stories of it helping those with multiple digestive issues. The Gerson Therapy has even been proven to cure ulcerative colitis and celiac disease, so I thought I would give it a try. I completed 30 days of the therapy, drinking all of the juice and sticking to the strict diet. The only thing I changed was that I only completed 1-2 coffee enemas per day, as I work full time in an office completing the enemas three times per day was difficult. I can now eat whatever I want, drink alcohol and caffeine without being in extreme pain, and (although a bit of a TMI) I have regular and normal bowel movements. I HIGHLY recommend this therapy to anyone having any type of digestive issues, and even if you are not having any problems at all. My husband completed the therapy with me for support, difficult for him as he had to stop drinking beer and eating wings ;), but after the first two weeks he admitted that he felt like a new person. If you are dealing with any type of health issues, PLEASE check this out!!! Not only is this therapy a working science miracle, but I highly recommend this specific book because it really lays out the history and the science behind the therapy. Here's to feeling better!

I was diagnosed with chronic illnesses and was told that cancer will inevitably spread, and as a young person, dealing with all of this has been of the most challenging things for me to handle in life. I have seen specialist after specialist in many countries and tried everything...pharmaceutical solutions only worsened my pain and sped up the deterioration of my body over the years. I happened to come across one of Charlotte's lectures one day and that's when I discovered the Gerson Therapy. Charlotte's work has given me hope - and for the first time - I have started to experience actual healing from the inside out. This therapy is tough - but there is no magic pill or shot that is going to fix everything. This book is an invaluable tool packed detailed instructions not only on healing from illness, but also on preventing illness by adopting a lifestyle that rids our exposure to toxic chemicals, detoxifies the body from toxins that have accumulated up until now, and provides the body with a variety of rich nutrients from fresh fruit and vegetable juices and meals. This book provides a lot of the rich explanation you might not find in Dr. Max Gerson's book, "A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases." I have watched every one of Charlotte's lectures I could get my hands on and I plan to finish reading every one of the Gerson books from cover to cover. I can't praise Charlotte Gerson and Dr. Max Gerson enough for their extraordinary life's work and determined effort towards helping people around the world heal from chronic illness when conventional medicine has given up. Charlotte Gerson is my heroine. <3

The Gerson therapy is a bit extreme for my likings, but I watched a documentary on it and it seems clear to me that this therapy works. If you are suffering from cancer, especially, this therapy should be immediately used. I have been a nurse for 12 years. I see a lot of suffering and dying in my line of work. It has always boggled my mind that we use poison in order to kill poison inside of your body. Radiation, such as the type that you are exposed to in nuclear accidents, causes cancer. Yet we use radiation to kill cancer cells. It seems like a oxymoron constructed by pharmaceutical companies to get your money and keep you sick. Sometimes I guess it works, but most people get so sick from chemo that they end of dying from a cold. It kills anything good you have left in your body. This method uses the "food is medicine" theory and has worked on a lot of people. I watched a documentary called "The Beautiful Truth" and it explores the Gerson Method in depth. It really proved that we can cure ailments such as cancer and other debilitating disease with proper nutrition. It would mean a great investment in time and money; the juicer you need is not some cheap one found in the local super store. But, if I were diagnoses with an advanced cancer, I would definitely invest in the $2000 juicer and go for it. Some of the people who were cured had stage 3 or 4 brain cancer and they are now living cancer free. Some of the people that were working in aspartame warehouses left their jobs when they had cancer and now spend their time trying to get that ingredient off the market because it has shown in multiple studies to cause cancer. I have severe arthritis in my neck. I am 35. Since I have been a nurse over a decade, that is the most likely culprit because I am lifting and tugging on the overweight public. I am looking into my options for nutritional treatment because I am in a lot of pain and I need to continue to work. So I am trying to figure out how I can implement a nutritional program for myself that can work for a busy working mom with 3 homeschooled children. If you are truly sick, however, you need to immediately follow this program and you will get well again.

"The Gerson Therapy" is a program that is difficult to follow but may give some hope for recovery from cancer. After reading this book I was impressed by all the work that must have gone into creating this program. Basically this program requires you to drink fruit and vegetable juices thirteen times a day and to also take numerous supplements. With that said I think you should be under the care of a doctor from the Gerson clinics because trying to figure out how to take the supplements and in what quantities is very difficult to figure out. Also to follow this program you need to basically become a vegan for a while and then you can slowly add back in animal protein in limited quantities if your doctor permits it. There are many limitations and basically you will just be eating fruits and vegetables as well as rye bread, oatmeal and brown rice. No salt is allowed and dairy is restricted at first. No animal protein is allowed at first. No sugar, no pasta, no flour, no sprouts, no soy products, no cucumbers, no coffee or tea (besides chamomile and peppermint), no fats besides flaxseed oil and no candy, cakes or muffins and pastries. As you can see this diet is mostly vegan. There are a lot of complex things to figure out when following this program. For example a regular centrifugal juicer is apparently not good enough. The juicer you need is much more expensive and I could not even find it at amazon. The book gives the address of the manufacturer and explains where to order it. Basically the author of this book claims that if you don't have the right juicer you are just wasting your time and you won't get well. My impression after reading this book was that you need a lot of money to get well. It may also be advisable to go to the Gerson clinic in Tijuana Mexico to figure out how to take care of yourself. That will cost thousands per week. Then at home you must take various supplements, do coffee enemas and use about 15-20 pounds of produce a day. This will take an extra refrigerator - to keep everything fresh. Now the stories of people's experiences with this program are amazing. The pictures of the well patients do look very promising. However these are people who went to the clinic, learned a lot about their care and kept on a strict diet after leaving the clinic. In this book the author does explain that the Gerson program is difficult to follow. I would have to agree with that. Some people have had to ask for the help of their family to keep on track. If you are going to buy this book I'd suggest getting the paperback. Only because there are recipes and it would be easier to cook from a paperback version. My only complaint about the recipes is that they seem to be vague in regards to oven temperatures. Low heat to one person might not be low enough to another. I would think of this book as an introduction to the topic of getting well if you have cancer. Realistically you will have to do much more research and also possibly go to the clinic to get supplies and advice. The last thing I would like to say is that you should be cautious about who you tell about this book. I have found all my interactions with people I talked to to be very negative and sometimes aggressive. I thought people would be happy to hear that there might be hope for terminally ill cancer patients. I was wrong! With that said I take no responsibility for your health should you follow this program. This review is for information purposes only. ~The Rebecca Review

Dr Gerson published medical papers in Germany on his results curing cancer. His therapy is still being used, world wide, with similar results. He moves to the US, and is branded a quack and they refuse to publish new papers. His cure is too simple. Plus it seemed to cure everything. Well for someone with cancer, taking 11 glasses of fresh juice every day would not be that simple. I am sure they would need help. Also the method of pressing the vegetables, and squeezing the juice through cheese cloth seems very hard for a sick person to do. Some might have to use a simpler juicer, against the recommendations of the book author, just to keep up. Sometimes you just have to do the best you can. You have to read the book for the details, but my take on it is that his method floods the body with antioxidants. So of course it is good for more than just one condition. When you read in the newspaper, or magazines, about eating foods high in antioxidants, does it say to do it to help with just one health condition? No, of course not. It can help in many ways. No snake oil treatment here, just sound medical advice. There is a video documentary on Dr Gerson, that is a must watch. Parts of it are available on utube. I got it from my video service. It gives both sides, interviewing people who were not familiar with the therapy, but who branded him a quack. Also interviewing doctors who used the therapy successfully, and who had no doubt that it worked. I know Dr Gerson testified in congress about his work, and they were impressed enough to try and pass a bill on funds for cancer research. It was narrowly defeated after much opposition from medical lobbyists. Why the opposition? Could they really think that research could put doctors and drug manufacturing out of business? That does make sense to me. Unless maybe one small cancer drug company was in a panic. Or maybe the lobbyists were hired by people who believed he really was a quack. I always thought that people who condemn something with out investigating it, are fools. Dr Gersons original book was published years ago, before he was murdered. Also, an attempt was made on his life while he was writing it. Someone knows who killed him and why. The cure rate achieved for certain cancers was about 70 percent. It is not a guarantied 100 percent cure. He had positive results where others failed. Names are named in the book of people cured, and you will recognize them. According to the book, chances of going into remission were much higher using the Gerson therapy, than with chemo.

I love buying books on amazon ! I bought this book to further my knowledge of cancer and other "incurable" diseases and how to treat them effectively , I think it's something that everyone should be studying in order to educate ourselves about how to avoid and treat these disease naturally . This book is literally a step by step treatment program for cancer and diseases and explains everything in detail from why we get these disease , how to avoid them, how to treat them and how to make sure that after you are cured you don't get them again . The Gerson Therapy is genius in its simplicity and completely logical and It is COMPLETELY INSANE that this treatment is ILLEGAL in america !! it doesn't make any sense and only proves that the governing force of this country is under the complete control of corporations and that these corporations want to keep us sick so that we continue to spend money on treatments that only treat the symptoms and do not cure the illnesses and cause further illness which will further treatment and so on ! This treatment literally uses Organic Fruits/Vegetables , Coffee, Distilled water and Potassium to open the liver, cleanse toxins from it and your blood and replace them with cell building potassium and other vitamins that will strengthen your immune system in order to allow your own body to work it's magic then it teaches you to avoid poisons such as Sodium , Aluminum, Fluoride and Chlorine. Open your minds and learn to help yourself so you don't have to depend on people that might not have your best interest in mind. Thanks for the book and the fast shipping /great price !

An indispensable aid for those wishing to use the highest cure rate therapy for cancer yet devised. The incredible cures for many degenerative diseases wrought by slight variations of this program are also described in this book. With the recent opening of a Gerson Therapy center in Hawaii, and with the Baja Nutri Care facility in Las Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, what's not to love about this amazing chance to survive the deadly big "C"? With a cure rate under 10% in America, why not go with the Gerson Therapy, with almost ten times the cure rate? This book is logical, orderly, and well thought out. It is not "easy reading," but it is certainly essential reading for our day. The present rate for cancer is five of every twelve alive today. Doctors are already predicting that the rate will increase yet again. Be prepared. Know how to prevent cancer, not just cure it. Update 12-15-2006. My wife began the Gerson Therapy for stage 4A Malignant Melanoma in October 2005. She is quite healthy today and her cancer markers are perfectly normal according to her monthly blood work. She has at least 10 months remaining to stay on the full Gerson Therapy. She has already out-survived 7 out of 10 patients with her diagnosis from the same start date who were or are undergoing "conventional" medical treatment. Conventional treatment odds for her five year survival are 1 in 200. Gerson Therapy gives her 80 chances out of the same 200. Yes, there are other therapies out there, but it is a minefield that can kill you if you land on the wrong therapy. The Gerson Therapy has about a 75 year history of great overall success. It is definitely not 100% though. Check the history of whatever others you are looking at. But whatever you do, remember that your health decisions are in your hands alone and that your life is a precious thing. Don't let anyone scare you into wasting it.

I recently ordered and recieved the e-book "The Gerson Therapy: The Amazing Nutional Program for Cancer & Other Illnesses." First off, I need to say that the content of this comprehensive book is excellent; it's the foundation and well researched compilation of the proven science of nutrition & detoxification as the basis for the body healing itself to overcome diseases, including cancer. My wife is struggling with colon cancer. I have been ordering products from Amazon for many years and never been disappointed ..... until now. My main problem with this e-product is that it is offered only in "Kindle" format. I don't have or want a Kindle device so I downloaded Amazon's free Kindle for PC software in order to read the book on my laptop. This works fine until you want to independently save the book, (or portion thereof), or to print pages, which is what we need to do in order to study & utilise portions of the book's content. I contacted Amazon regarding the above problem. In classic, scripted dialogue via e-mail and "chat", they said they would be happy to help me but explained that the Kindle for PC software doesn't provide for saving or printing data. They would, however, make sure that my concerns would be made known to appropriate personnel for future product improvement. I was then asked if there was "anything else" they could help me with. So there you have it; I'm not making this up! I would be willing to bet that the inability for saving and printing with Kindle for PC was not overlooked or happened by accident. These are two of the most fundatmental functions in modern data exchange. We're overseas right now and it was impractical to order a hard copy book. And for the moment, I can't find it, (an e-book PDF download for PC), elsewhere on-line. Your comments are appreciated!

This is awesome information, every house should have one, this stuff should be taught at schools...scary how the medical industry has tried to keep this information quiet for the past 60/70 years!

Very good book if you want to use Gerson therapy protocol. Everything explained in detIail. We're planning to follow the protocol for my mums case.

Excellent book with a lot of really interesting and valuable information about nutritional effects on common illnesses including terminal ones. The Gerson Therapy is a very strict diet and would be tough to follow with all the organic vegetables required and the amount of time juicing. However, if one is disciplined and motivated, the health benefits claimed are dramatic. There is a Gerson clinic in Mexico to get one started with the processes to be able to continue at home. I would definitely try this if faced with a serious illness as it is a much healthier alternative to conventional medicine and sometimes the only option left.

現在、ガンの治療法には、手術、放射線、化学療法、の3つの柱と、最近、免疫療法が研究されていますが、 このゲルソン療法は、ガンの予防と再発防止に特に役に立つのではないかと思います。

Excelente livro sobre um trabalho excepcional. Leitura obrigatória para todos que buscam uma solução para problemas de saúde com a cura das causas das doenças e não somente o alívio dos efeitos.
