Product Description
Review
"I know of one patient who turned to Gerson Therapy, having been told that she was suffering from terminal cancer and would not survive another course of chemotherapy. Happily, seven years later she is still alive and well. So it is vital that, rather than dismissing such experiences, we should further investigate the beneficial nature of these treatments." – HRH PRINCE OF WALES
"The prince wants more research into the Gerson Therapy, which is a remedy that relies purely on food and vitamins to fight the disease … Charles, who was speaking at a health conference, revealed he knew of a terminally-ill woman who had benefited from the treatment.' – THE EXPRESS
"A royal cure for cancer?
[Prince] Charles gave an enthusiastic endorsement last week to the Gerson Therapy, which eschews chemotherapy in favour of 13 fruit juices a day, coffee enemas and weekly injections of vitamins … Max Gerson incurred the wrath of the American medical profession for presenting five patients alive and well to a US congressional committee, years after they had been sent home to die." – THE OBSERVER
“The cornerstone of my survival.” Michael Gearin-Tosh, author of LIVING PROOF
"For years the orthodox medical profession has been totally ignorant of the immense potential of nutritional therapy … I am not the only one who has survived on Gerson; there are many others like me." – BEATA BISHOP, author of A TIME TO HEAL: MY TRIUMPH OVER CANCER

Format:Paperback
The Gerson Therapy by C. Gerson and M. Walker.
Unless you are very serious about improving your own health, the Gerson Therapy will strike you as wierd and extreme.
Modern Medicine and the pharmaceutical industry have done a good job trying to convince us that disease is about germs, and only they can help.
The fact is that you are responsible for your own health, and that sound nutrition and avoidance of environmental toxins (including all the products of the petrochemical, 'nutraceutical' (sic) and pharmaceutical industries) are essential if you wish to avoid the degenerative conditions which have increasingly afflicted mankind in the last decades.
You can't just blame the germs/viruses/prions or your genes and wait for a pill or shot from your doctor to make it all better, while eating junk and polluting your body.
This book is extreme. It has to be, because cancer represents an extreme failure of the body to identify and destroy cancer cells.
The book tells you how to give your body an extreme amount of nutritional support. In answer to the question, "How can I make sure I get all the nutrition I need to get better" the answer is "Organic fruit and vegetable juices" and a few supplements. All of this is explained in the book.
Then there is the problem of the 'cranky' coffee enemas. Unless you understand that the body has to be supported during extreme detoxification, and the liver particularly, you will baulk at coffee enemas. The fact is, if the body is too debilitated to stop cancer cells from growing, it isn't going to be up to detoxifying the waste products from the breakdown of a tumour without poisoning the liver, the major organ of detoxification.
Even if you did kill all the cancer cells in your body, if you couldn't metabolise and excrete the waste products of the breakdown, it would poison your liver and kill you.
Again this book explains the why and how of detoxification with coffee enemas.
If anyone pretends it is easy, or there is a quick fix, they are lying. It takes months of dedicated application.
Sound nutrition and detoxification. If you are up for it, this book will help you.
The Gerson Therapy is a whole and must be taken as a whole, it isn't a 'pick and mix' where you just take the bits you want, it is an entire metabolic program to support your body to the point where it starts to break down the cancer by itself.
Seeing that such a high percentage of us will be afflicted by cancer some time in our lives, it behoves us to understand the issues and take preventative steps. If you, or someone close to you already have cancer, this book will provide you with an alternative to the modern cut, poison, burn and dope approach. If you have seen loved ones cut up, poisoned by chemo and eventually killed by opiates and malnutrition, it doesn't seem that extreme or cranky.
In this context this book has provided a very useful service in making available the information necessary to make an informed choice.
Some people will rubbish this book. You need to ask them "What cancer were you suffering from, what stage was it when you started your therapy, how were you healed, how long did it take?". When they can't answer, ask them "Who do you work for, what is your profession?"

Format:Paperback
This was one of my many books to read as I tried to obtain as much information about Cancer and how to beat Cancer. When I got round to reading it, I found this book very detailed in the beginning, giving a lengthly history of the Gerson Institute/Therapy. This is definately not a book that I found easy to refer to for quick fast facts. Nor was it easy to navigate round the chapters, you literally had to read from the beginning to end in order to understand what it was proposing. Maybe I'm not as intelligent as other readers but I had to re-read chapters in order to try and understand what treatment was being advised.
I was expecting a step by step guide to a daily diet aimed at defeating Cancer but instead I was reading about Liver injections, B vitamins etc things that are not easily obtainable unless you attend the Gerson Institue. The reasons to many illness such as Osteoprosis and how effective the Gerson Therapy was without giving a breakdown to what the treatment was.
However, you have to credit the writers for the painstaking effort they have put into the book. Although throughout the book you get the feeling that it is a very one sided view.
I recommend other books such as 'What to Eat if You have Cancer' by Maureen Keane & Daniellla Chace or The Chemotherapy Survival Guide by Judith McKay & Nancee Hirano.

"how to conquer AIDS"
Please don't buy this book in order to cure AIDS. Or cancer. If you want to have coffee enemas, that's fine by me. I quite like organic fruit smoothies - but if I get pancreatic carcinoma I doubt they're gonna make it go away.
