HepCAware.org Presents "Silence is Deadly - Living with Hepatitis C" Friday February 17 5:30pm and 10pm Channel 36 West Hollywoods Public Access Station on Adelphia Cable Silence is Deadly - Living with Hepatitis C is a documentary chronicling the lives of four people and their struggle with Hepatitis, a potentially fatal liver disease. While exploring the nature of the virus, its treatments, prognosis, and global impact, this powerful documentary further explores what it is to live with a debilitating chronic illness and its

stigma, as seen through the eyes of our characters, one being the filmmaker herself. The film was written, directed and produced by Kindra Anne Ruocco and In Your Face Productions, with the purpose of ending the silence that has become an epidemic for the estimated more than 5 million Americans who will contract Hepatitis C in the next few years. Currently about one in 15 people are living with this disease. "Silence is Deadly" delves into the options and realities of Western and Eastern medicine, and intertwines intimate details from a few who have made definitive lifestyle choices in coping with their illness. Within the words and images, there exists a powerful force for change and awareness with an underlying belief that education equals prevention.

Hello Michele,

It was a pleasure meeting with you and your husband this weekend at the LPA

event. I am glad you were couragous enough to take the time and sit with me. I

feel very fortunate that yourself and Pete shared your stories with me. I

really enjoyed the conversation we had, it was very informative. If your still

up to it I would like to set up an interview with you on camera within the next

month or so. When would be good for you?

As we discussed on Sunday, I would also be looking for someone who may be

willing to perhaps talk to me about where the LPA takes a stand on specific

issues. Do you think that there is anyone(?) who may be willing to speak

with me? Would it be worth sending her an email? Is there anyone else that you

would recommend me speaking to?

Thank you very much for all your time Michele. I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Hess

A friend of mine showed me a documentary called " Food Matters " you can get it on

Netflix. It surprised me that a Molecular Biologist said that cancer is the

bodies way of healing it's self...the same thing Bee says....but another

nutritionist or biologist...can't remember says that everytime we eat cooked

veggies, our body recognizes it as a forgein matter and send out white blood

cells....the body doesn't do that with raw veggies.....Do you know anything

about that statement Bee? Thanks, Gail......(curlygirl)

+++Hi Gail,

The other nutritionist got it wrong since cooking vegetables releases the

nutrients locked behind plant cell walls (fibers, called cellulose that humans

cannot digest) as this article explains:

myself if they are not cooked, then I can't digest them very well. Why is it

that the Gerson Therapy or other similar treatments have success treating

cancer, since their protocol is focused on so much raw produce? And wouldn't

all those " carbs " be feeding the cancer? Can someone enlighten us?

>

> By the way, I asked some questions about a swollen lymph node a month back and

the dr. diagnosed it this week as a protruding muscle, not a lymph node or a

tumor. So, thanks Bee, I had done the hot wet packs, but am relieved it's not

what I thought.

+++Hi Marti,

That's great you found out you didn't have a lymph node or tumor! Hooray!

In the late 1920s, Max Gerson, M.D., began observing that cancer could be cured

with nutrition along with systemic detoxification. Charlotte Gerson writes:

" Dr. Gerson found that the underlying problems of all cancer patients are

toxicity and deficiency. One of the important features of his therapy was the

hourly administration of fresh vegetable juices. These supply ample nutrients,

as well as fluids to help flush out the kidneys. When the high levels of

nutrients re-enter tissues, toxins accumulated over many years are forced into

the blood stream. The toxins are then filtered out by the liver. The liver is

easily overburdened by the continuous release of toxins and is unable to release

the load... Dr. Gerson found that he could provide help to the liver by the

caffeine in coffee, absorbed from the colon via the hemorrhoidal vein, which

carries the caffeine to the portal system and then to the liver. The caffeine

stimulates the liver/bile ducts to open, releasing the poisons into the

intestinal tract for excretion. "

The Gerson Therapy is not specifically a cancer treatment but rather a metabolic

treatment, one that cleanses while strengthening the body's ability to heal

itself.

Gerson's therapy required the patient to consume a raw plant based diet and to

drink an 8-ounce glass of fresh organic juices every waking hour. Coffee and

castor oil enemas were among several types of prescribed enemas, and some

patients were given hydrogen peroxide orally and rectally. <<<NOTE, however

vitamin C is better since it increase the body's production of hydrogen

peroxide.

Dietary supplements include vitamin C and iodine. The diet prohibited the

drinking of water and consumption of berries and nuts, as well as use of

aluminum vessels or utensils. Patients were required to drink several glasses of

raw calf liver extract daily.

His program put cancer into remission and patients would leave the clinic, only

to die later of cancer anyway.

All the best, Bee

Hi Bee,

This is an interesting conversation, and I've wondered about Dr. Gerson. Your

>

I've wondered if this diet really worked. I've heard that high fats and beef

actually cause cancer, but according to Dr. Price's research, the healthiest

people were the ones who ate traditional diets that include high sources of fat.

There seems to be some disconnect. Even my chiropracter who believes and

follows Price's traditional diet said that he would put people on the Gerson

diet if they had cancer.

So, are you saying that Gerson's treatment really does nothing for cancer in the

long run? Why would it help in the short run?

Your statement was so blunt that it shocked me and I'd love a little more

explanation of your last statement.

Thank you,

Lori

+++Hi Lori,

Dr. Gerson's therapy for cancer is no different than many others that can put

cancer into remission. Patients feel fine for awhile and then they relapse, and

IF they do not follow Nature's Laws on Health as Dr. Price writes, they cannot

expect to actually BE healthy and not have their cancer return.

One simple example of cancer remission happened with my sister's Hospice

Patient; she's an R.N. She said that since hospice patients are so far gone

already they don't usually treat skin issues, thrush in the mouth, etc. unless

the patient is very uncomfortable.

This man was very uncomfortable with many skin eruptions, so she treated it by

rubbing in olive oil about 3 times a week. Lo and behold his cancer went into

remission, so he was taken off of Hospice Care. About a year later she noticed

he was back on Hospice but he wasn't on her Care list. He died within a few

months. So just olive oil bought him some time, but it didn't resolve the

underlying causes of his cancer which are the same causes of all failing health:

After seeing the docu " Food Matters " I'm now wondering how much of our health

issues does'nt have to do with just plain hereditary? In the Docu Dr. Gerson's

daughter, who speaks about the importance of diet and I'm sure referring to her

Father's findings, is 85 years old and her mind was sharp as a tack. She was

quoting facts and figures without any difficulty. How could someone who has had

a diet of mostly veggies be so together?

Also Dr. Shinya, the Japanese Doctor who invented the colonscope....also

preaches a mostly veggie diet and credits that to his mothers longevity and

sharpness of mind at 94 and her good quality of life.

Is it possible that our Genetic line has something to do with our healths

outcome as well? I just don't understand how some people do not eat the way as

ascribed by Dr. Price & Bee but yet they seem to live long physically & Mentally

sound lives? It baffles me. Gail, (curlygirl)

When I was first out on my own, I started reading about alternative medicine,

including the Gerson therapy... including Jaquie son's poorly-written book

about her Gerson therapy, and also Beata Bishop's better-written book about her

Gerson therapy. I figured that since there was a lot of cancer in my relatives,

I was sure to get it sooner or later.

Note: I have not been officially diagnosed with anything so far, but obviously

have health issues.

In fact, over 30 years ago I went on a cancer clinic tour which was led by a

woman named Marilyn Merrill. Nowadays you can take such a tour through the

Cancer Control Society.

At any rate, one of the clinics visited was the Gerson clinic down near Tijuana.

I believe that Gerson's therapy worked for at least some people. I think that

if someone did well at the clinic but later died at home, one of the big

problems would have been the extremely labor-intensive nature of the diet. You

pretty much had to have a family member or a helper of some sort to do

everything required on the diet... make fresh juices every hour (with the

Norwalk juicer), give enemas, do all the food just right, etc. Some folks

couldn't handle that at home.

Some folks resorted to growing their own produce. Otherwise, someone had to

engage in rather intensive shopping. You really need a second refrigerator for

all the special foods.

BTW, it is not a fat-free diet, although the only fat used is flaxseed oil. I

don't think they use liver juice anymore, due to the difficulty of getting

organic calves' liver nowadays. They use some adjunct therapies at the clinic.

But the Gerson diet is said to be particularly good for, example, melanoma,

which is a fast-growing cancer not helped much by orthodox treatment. The

author Beata Bishop (mentioned above) cured herself of melanoma. She is still

alive as of a few days ago, because I saw her post to another group just

recently (the " Cancer Cured " group, I believe).

I think the Gerson diet does well for at least some people, and it has cured

some that I know of. Just like Bee's diet, you have to stay on it (though in a

less restrictive manner) for the rest of your life, or risk your disease coming

back.

Gerson himself did make the mistake of assuming that animal products were more

difficult to digest than plant products; however, if one followed his diet, you

would still be eating better than the standard American diet.

But still... Gerson worked out a system, and Bee has a system. I'm doing Bee's

system because I think it's better and more do-able, but I don't wish to trash

Gerson because I know it works for at least some people.

When I was much younger, I actually bought a used Norwalk juicer, assuming that

I'd need to use it one day (though I sold it when I needed the money).

One of the great advantages of Bee's diet over Gerson's diet is that it is less

labor-intensive, and can be done by a single person going it alone.

Pam Maltzman

March 29, 2011

I would agree with Pam - and the one thing I would add is that although the

Gerson Therapy uses mainly raw food for it's treatment, it also uses high-dose

vitamin and mineral supplements too, and it may well be the addition of these

added elements that makes the difference.

IT'S ALL ABOUT NUTRITION.

Whilst it is a relatively slow process - because no one really knows quite what

is going on at cellular level and what is needed at any given time, Bee's regime

adds in important foods and supplements that the body can use for repair and

restoration.

Whether people get the amino acids through plants in an incomplete form or from

protein in a complete form, is probably immaterial - what is important is how

the body uses them. Even those with Cancer don't always necessarily have very

compromised digestive systems - Cancers are dependent on the amount of toxins in

the body, not necessarily how good or bad the digestion is - but many people

with and without Cancer do, and how compromised it is very much relates to the

ability of the body to absorb the nutrition.

The Gerson Therapy undoubtedly will have to add in elements like B12 in

supplement form, and will provide certain fats in the form of fish oils, etc.,

and they get around the fibre issue by juicing much of the food, but Bee's

regime adds all the elements in all forms predominantly from food - and food

that is easy to digest and process.

The body is able to adapt to quite a wide range of nutritional sources - from

high fat and protein-based to predominantly vegetarian and generally keep well

on either and anything in between, but the key to good health on any diet is to

ONLY eat highly-nutritious food. You will find that those who promote a raw food

diet do indeed eat a diet high in nutrition - and that is because they do not

include anything processed or much in the way of sugar. However, many

vegetarians have become sick over the years - mainly because they based their

diet on nutrition-robbing processed grains and sugars which due to their lack of

nutritional substance and the fact that body has to call on its own resources to

digest it further depletes already nutritionally exhausted bodies and causes

problems.

Anything that benefits the body has to be two-fold - a removal of draining and

damaging foods and replacement with high-nutrition, but the easier it is to

digest and absorb, the better. Having tried both 'camps' and understanding

which one my body - and my compromised digestion responds to better, my feet are

firmly established in Bee's.
