Yes, of the tens of thousands of terminal people treated w/Gerson, there are

many who've recovered. I was pointing out the the success RATE is very low.

Yes.

“For over 1 year I have searched for stories and people that I could

personnaly speak with that had active tumors regress on [Gerson] therapy. (I

requested names from [Gerson] institute) I have not spoken to even one. The ones

I did speak to had tumors removed before starting the therapy via conventional

means…The people I met while doing the Gerson Therapy have all abandoned the

therapy becasue their Cancer is out of control….I read all the posts on

" Removing the calf's liver [juice] from the program has rendered [Gerson]

therapy, as a stand-alone treatment, relatively ineffective with regard to

long-term cure " kathryn@..., 12/19/07

" Dr. Gerson was not happy with the results he was achieving on the program as it

is practiced today, consequently he added the raw liver juice and we then saw

the results as presented in his book….we could say that we have lost 50% of

the potential of the [Gerson] therapy [due to removal of raw liver juice]â€
