Q & A on Gerson therapy

[Guest guest]

What does the Gerson Therapy have good results with?While there is an exception to every rule and every case is different, the therapy has had repeatedly good results with the following diseases:

melanoma

lymphoma

ovarian cancer

Duke's C

colorectal cancer

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

arthritis

oat cell carcinoma of the lung

In general, we have significantly higher success with any cancer or degenerative disease when we are able to work with the patient before the cancer has spread too far or before they have received extensive chemotherapy.How long will I have to be on the therapy?Though Dr. Gerson specifies about 18 months in A Cancer Therapy, with today's more toxic environment we are finding patients need to be on the therapy for at least two years, and in many cases three. Non malignant diseases such as arthritis and Lupus fall on the shorter end of that scale, while advanced cases of cancer fall closer to the three year range.When will I see a noticeable improvement from the therapy?The time it takes to see results on the therapy varies greatly from patient to patient, but a good guideline to follow is; the faster-moving the cancer, the quicker it is controlled and eliminated. In cases of melanoma and lymphomas we have seen cases of extremely fast tumor reduction. Bone cancers and bony metastases take the longest to heal, often requiring 12-18 months. Multiple Sclerosis takes at least several months to respond, and the symptoms often appear worse before they improve. This is not to say that when patients see improvement they are ready to discontinue the treatment. It is of utmost importance that patients continue the full therapy according to their doctor's instructions for the full length of time, not just until symptoms improve.

Patty's Note: I definitely saw a worsening of symptoms upon starting the Gerson therapy. I am doing this therapy currently, and will keep you posted. No doubt about it, it is difficult to follow, but I think, one our best chances.

Hi Rogene,

I am doing as much of the Gerson therapy protocol as I can. It is hard to

follow, no doubt about that.

I have healed almost completely from my implant experience. I live a

totally normal life with high energy again. () I only have rare

bouts

of brain fog.

When I say that I noticed a worsening of the symptoms when I started the

Gerson therapy, I meant that my brain fog got worse initially, due to the

large amounts of organic vegetable juices I consume. That was the one

noticeable symptom to appear. No other symptoms have made an appearance.

Here is what I am currently doing:

Breakfast:

8 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice

Organic oatmeal with 2 t. organic sucanat (natural sugar cane)

8 ounce glass of carrot/apple/swiss chard/kale juice every hour

as many hours in a day as I can do. (recommended Gerson therapy is 13)

I have a Green Life juicer. A centrifugal juicer is not recommended on

Gerson.

Coffee enemas daily

Raw foods, salads with organic greens and other fresh produce for lunches

and dinner. Occasionally I will cheat, but I have given up all processed

foods, practically no bread, no junk, no dairy, no eggs, no meats. NO

SALT.

Eliminating sodium is VERY IMPORTANT.

The modified Gerson Therapy recommends also specific nutritional

supplements, some of which I have obtained, and others I am in the process

of obtaining (Tijuana pharmacy that is Gerson approved.)

Potassium Compound solution: 2 tsp. ten times a day in juices

Lugol's solution (half strength) 3-6 drops per day, 1-2 drops per day

initially for those with heavy metal toxicity

Armour Thyroid: 1 grain, 1 to 2 tabs per day

Niacin: 50 mg 3 times per day

Pancreatic enzymes: (3) 325 mg tabs four times a day (with meals)

Vit B12 injections, with either crude liver extract injections, or

dessicated liver tabs.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to look into the Gerson Therapy

read

the books.!! The website also has alot of information. But I don't want

anyone just doing what I am doing without fully investigating the science

behind the Gerson therapy. I encourage you all to become educated....as

Martha says....Knowledge is POWER.
