Gerson Therapy

Hi joelelee!  Uh, no, I wasn't trying to vandalize your thread, or discussion.....  And I think it's great that you are wanting to try alternative methods for your cancer!   Just sometimes the risks really do outweigh the benefits.......... Some diets, pills, beliefs HAVE helped a lot of women.  And some have not. 

But before you try something off "the beaten path" just run it past your "team"....I mean your Oncologist. 

It's GOOD that you are researching every option!  I am into more integrative, or complimentary methods myself.... I would advise anyone to drink Aloe Vera, or take lots of Vit.C, or even DimPlus after their conventional treatments, but that's just MY opinion.  But I would invite anyone else with a different take on this, to tell me their thoughts! 

So keep on researching and asking lots of questions.... We are all here to help you.....

I DO support you Joellelee!  I don't always agree with everyone, but it IS their choice!   And whether I think it is right or wrong, really doesn't matter........ I support ANYone with breast-cancer...and will always wish them the best. 

I choose not to do the Gerson, or the cupping procedures, but that is just me.  And yes, I have researched both ideas, but it isn't for me.  I like to think the conventional methods....(surgery, MammoSite device for radiation, and 14 months of Tamoxifen) have stopped the cancer in it's tracks! 

Whatever you do, best of luck!

Jessica Ainscough will be interviewed next week as part of the second annual Healing Cancer Worldwide Summit.  The format is the same as last year -- everyone can listen for free during designated time slots.  I listened last year and I'm very much looking forward to this year's lineup too.  For dates, times, list of participants and free registration, go to https://s3.amazonaws.com/cancerworldsummit.com/index-launch-day.html

On another note, I have been a Clinical Laboratory Scientist for 33 years and have learned that Big Pharma rules the Roust; they buy so much advertising in the medical journals, they can pretty much control the articles that are published - this is why alternative studies are not published in the mainstream medical journals.  And then the main-streamers say "There's no published documentation to support their claims"....argggg

Thanks Rosy! The American Cancer Society is always under investigation for corruption. Same with Sloan Kettering (tho not a nonprofit).

Honestly, I don't think the ACS is corrupt, I just think they suck and are ineffective.  I used to work in the medical research field (non-profit side) and the way non-profits like ACS and Komen fund research is completely ineffective.   Not cure-driven at all.  And it's not a matter of researchers being lazy or corrupt.  The whole system is set up to discourage progress.  If you want to see an organization doing it right, check out the Myelin Repair Foundation - I hope that everyone moves to their model of research.   It's amazing!

Agree with sweetbean. Part of the reason why they are ineffective is because, IMO, a cancer cure is NOT their top priority. Their political power is. Both have frequently formed associations with corporate polluters. Cancer patients have suffered because organizations claiming to seek a cure are too embedded in the status quo to really want one. I don't even trust the medical information they provide that much because it is geared towards maintaining the status quo.

Thank you for posting the pink ribbons documentary trailer.  Certainly is an eye opener.  And who do I see, Dr. Susan Love, who seemed to be as disgusted with this as everyone else. This is so shameful.  

Best if luck to you SeattleMama.  Hope all goes well for you.

My wife has been on Gerson for 53 weeks...I'm doing the juicing & all the other things. She did not have Chemo or Radiation.

She is on Hormone therapy also. We followed the book "healing the Gerson way" to one coffee enema,but with stage 4 breast cancer

have now increased to 3 a day.

The first few month's were really hard for both of us.

But now it has become our life style.

We use a norwalk juicer...there are less expensive juicer + press

We go thru about 120 lbs of produce every week,that includes

our meals.

We are looking at 24 months then...we will see where we go

from there. As I said it seems like a daily chore now.

Hope this helps.   Escape

She was stage 4 when an oncologist wanted her to do chemo

right away. After doing a research on chemo/radiation/surgery

we passed on that. She was doing well until I believe when we

reduced to one enema a day following the chart "healing with

Gerson"...I contacted Gerson and they said with stage 4 she needs 3 enemas per day. I was willing to start over...very difficult

at first. Plus she has anxiety attacks so she is taking meds for

that along with hormone drugs. I believe the meds/drugs are setting

us back. But we started this journey and it will take time.

She is still stage 4 I believe, our Goal is to restore the liver.

The liver is the only Organ that will reproduce it'self

Max Gerson said it takes about 18 months,but Charlotte

his daughter says: today with more toxins we need at least

24 months.

I believe after that the immune system can take over.

From what I understand the immune system is the only

thing that can search out cancer cells and destroy them.

We live with cancer cells and the immune system is catching

and destroying them every single day.

Chemo may, but it damages our  immune system.

DX! I guess you mean when she was first tested.

Well a doctor told her the lump in her breast was nothing to worry about...then about 2 yrs later.....Aug of 2011, we found

out she had stage 4 breast cancer. Needless to say I have no

trust in doctors...some anyway.

Thanks for replying.   "Escape":    is our  3 yr Greyhound.

I forgot to say our Norwalk is called a juicer, but it grinds

then you place in a tray...I think 2000 lbs of pressure for

juicing.  So the less expensive way has to be a grinder +

a press. 

I have been doing the coffe enemas, wheat grass and flax implants starting 10 months ago. I've blended Gerson, Hippocrates, Optimum Health Institute, The Budwig Diet, Phoenix Tears, etc....

I am doing really well getting the tumors to reduce or disappear.

I would seriously like to know how everyone is doing, and can you please update us ?  I feel sure that others reading this thread, want to know also. It has been several months since, and I sincerely hope all are well.  Thankyou.

Hi All,

These posts are almost a year old so I don't know if anyone will read this but I'm inquiring about my best friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  She was given a full hysterctomy, removal of her appendix as it spread there, too.  She is now undergoing chemo (16 weeks, once a week).  I've been vegetarian for 4 years, but recently learned about The Gerson Miracle.  I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of how Gerson Therapy works post chemo.  She also has a colostomy, but there was no cancer in her colon and it will be reversed, however, she can't really follow Gerson at this time, due to the colostomy.  The diet for the colostomy is so toxic and is everything one shouldn't eat when healthy, let alone with cancer and at such a deficit due to chemo.  Any information would be helpful.

Many thanks.

Hi Karmagal, there is a modified Gerson Therapy for people to follow if they've had chemotherapy. Essentially it involves 10 juices per day (standard therapy is 13 - you don't drink the 3 carrot juices) and 3-4 coffee enemas per day. The standard therapy includes castor oil orally and via enema and this is not recommended to patients who have undergone chemotherapy. Best regards.
