Gerson Therapy for Cancer

The part about the fruit and vegetable juices sounds on track and is consistent with the findings in The China Study; it’s the liver stuff that seems strange and inappropriate. What’s the problem with coffee enemas? How do they cause harm instead of the good that they are touted for?

Reading the abstracts it seems very suspicious. There are words like “case reviews found no evidence” and “those with standard chemo therapy survived 3 times longer than … organic diet”. As colin campbell pointed out in his China Study book, the food board has been taken over by industry. As McDougall mentions in his books and lectures, the medical establishment has gone out of their way to disprove his theories and is one reason why he left the heart center. I don’t really trust that the cancer industry is neutral on this. Just on the Gerson thing, how do you explain the people in the movie who were previously treated by chemo and then shown in the movie recovering quickly and there is “no evidence” and chemo allows patients to live longer? It is incongruent. I don’t think the filmmaker was hiring actors for the film and the film is pretty powerful just like the movie “fat sick and nearly dead”. The cancer industry lobbied and got diet taken out as a potential cure years ago and is why Gerson has to go to Mexico to offer the treatments. How nuetral is the industry given this fact. I know the pharmacetical industry controls the medical industry and the meat and diary industry control the FDA.

I wish someone like Dr. Greger or Dr. McDougall would visit Charlotte Gerson and personally review the files independently so we could know for a fact that it doesn’t work.

So why can’t the therapy be practiced in the USA? That alone makes me suspicious that this treatment therapy has some validity. And what about Hippocrates institute… why can they practice? Seems to be the same type of therapy.

Ok people are going to try what they will. I personally have a true account of a friend of mine who’s father had colon cancer. He was a smoker and living off a meat filled Mediterranean diet. He came down with colon cancer with two tumors in his liver. He did chemo with little change. His blood test revealed that his red blood cell count was dangerously low because of the chemo treatment. His doctor advised him to stop chemo all together. He became worried. I had seen nutrition studies and like Gregor am passionate about it. You can find study for anything pretty much. I eat avocados and drink kombucha daily and have another friend who drinks even more than i and never got hospitalized because of acidity Anyway back to the story. So my friend who saw my blog on nutrition decided to do his own research and see if his red blood cell count could return with diet. As he found the red fruits increase red blood cells he asked his dad to try eating large amounts of red fruits. Two weeks later he went back to get his blood cell count and the doctor to his amazement could not believe it. They so he was back on chemo. Chemo was still not doing anything. My friend again thought ok maybe this vegan diet think really can help. So he shared some studies on the power of fruits and vegetables. 8 weeks later I had asked my friend how his dad was doing. He was like the doctors xrays show that his tumors are in necorsis and that it shows real promise. My friend was so amazed and told me that he truly believed that food was powerful. He said the best thing was it looked like his dad’s vitality was back and he did not look ill anymore. My friend is name is Edu. I have emails to prove everything I say here. Will it work for everyone? Probably not but nutrition is more complex than a simple study proving or disproving. It is years of thousands of studies put together to show where the science is leaning. When there is just one study published and there is not more evidence then one should remain a skeptic until we see more. I personally feel that food is medicine and that the issue is not a lack of drugs but years of poor lifestyle choice which alter the natural biochemistry of the body. Genetics can play a role but it is not always our fate. We know that plants foods are healthy. Animal foods have low nutrient content and carry a lot of extra negative baggage so it is more that people don’t consume enough fruits and vegetables over that they eat meat. Plus the environmental and ethical issues that come with it where there is no need to consume animals. But when it comes down to it why take a chance with animal foods when there are so many amazing nutrient rich plant foods. So look at the science as a whole and not band aids that keep people alive because where they fix one problem the cause damage somewhere else. We have all seen the commercials of the millions of side effects that are reported. Drugs will never be the answer when it comes to optimal health. As for Gregor’s videos I think there is a lot of good information but like anything else we must do our own research past just watching his videos. He has done a huge service to get people aware and thinking but it does not stop here.

I know your videos usually focus on cancer prevention, but if one were to develop cancer in spite of taking all reasonable preventative measures, I’d like to know what you recommend. Perhaps some combination of fresh vegetable juicing combined with modern chemotherapy? If the Gerson Institute doesn’t have it figured out, are there any alternative cancer treatments that are as effective as the current mainstream methods?
