My experience with Gerson Therapy

[Guest guest]

Dear Pazalways:

Thanks for your very detailed and well-writen sharing. For what it's

worth, I'd like to share my current regime (addressing chronic dysbiosis).

I can vouch for the effectiveness of Gerson Therapy, having used a

modified form of it to various degrees since 2003. It has been an

excellent general cleanout and energizer, and continues to serve (I'm

doing 3 enemas per day currently).

I haven't been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but my brother has it, hence

my attention to this group. I have been trying to reduce my resident

population of Candida Albicans, and we had my brother tested for Candida

blood antigens--he was positive.

I am now taking a couple of prescription medicines (Nystatin and

Nizoral) in an effort to reduce Candida. Die-off from Nystatin has been

intense, and the coffee enemas have been a lifesaver in keeping it from

overwhelming me (although I was overwhelmed recently and had to pause

and re-group, adding Nizoral, which is milder for die-off).

The Candida effort was inspired by my very positive response to

GAPS/Specific Carbohydrate Diet (it cut bowel inflammation within 5 days

of starting the diet--I'm on the candida-modified program and

transitioning toward Bee's diet). I've been struggling with throat

discomfort for around 6 years, and it's been hard to tell if the Candida

treatment will take care of it, but I'm beginning to sense that it will.

I have ups and downs and am currently having a " down " day (throat not

feeling good) but am correlating that with today's aggressive use of

Nystatin. In the big-picture, the die-off response to medication is

gradually diminishing and the baseline condition is clearly improving.

The enema modifications I'm using for Candida are: morning coffee

enema(s) has(have) Nystatin added, and some time later a coffee/yogurt

enema is used. The idea is to re-seed the gut environment with friendly

bacteria after the fungus is reduced.

An additional tool I've found useful is the bentonite/psyllium shake

(functioning like the " snake " plumbing tool to help ease material such

as dead biomass out of the small and large intestines). I respect the

work of , ND in this area, and have ordered his kit from

the firm " Arise and Shine, " though I've not yet adopted his full program.

I should note that up until recently I had modified the Gerson juice

formula into exclusively carrot juice to be compatible with the SCD

anti-candida diet. Because carrots are not in Bee's plan, I'm off the

juices for the time being (the carrot juice didn't seem to cause

problems, and I added extreme amounts of raw garlic cloves to it, in

addition to diatomaceous earth).
