Healing Your Body
with the Gerson Therapy
Go to Links Below
Healing your body with the Gerson Therapy is very effective in killing the
cancer cells. The Gerson Therapy is a holistic, natural treatment in healing
cancer.
Throughout our lives
our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and cancer causing
pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat,
the medicines we take, and the water we drink.
As more of these
poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, being able to
turn to a proven, natural, detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy is not
only reassuring, but necessary.
The Gerson Therapy is a powerful, natural treatment that boosts
your body's own immune system to heal
·
cancer,
·
arthritis,
·
heart disease,
·
allergies, and
·
many other degenerative diseases.
One aspect of the
Gerson Therapy that sets it apart from most other treatment methods is its
all-encompassing nature.
An abundance of
nutrients from thirteen fresh, organic juices are consumed every day, providing
your body with a super dose of enzymes, minerals and nutrients. These substances
then break down diseased tissue in the body, while enemas aid in eliminating the
lifelong buildup of toxins from the liver.
With its whole-body
approach to healing, the Gerson Therapy naturally reactivates your body's
magnificent ability to heal itself. There is no damaging side-effects.
Over 200 articles in
respected medical literature and thousands of people cured of their "incurable"
diseases document the Gerson Therapy's effectiveness.
The Gerson Therapy is one of
the few treatments to have an 80 year history of success.
Although its
philosophy of cleansing and reactivating the body is simple, the Gerson Therapy
is a complex method of treatment requiring significant attention to detail.
While many
individuals have made full recoveries practicing the Gerson Therapy on their
own, for best results we encourage starting treatment at a Gerson Institute
licensed treatment center.
As we looked at our
financial portfolio, we were not able to start our treatment at a Gerson
Instituted licensed treatment center. The cost for us was prohibited. If you
are in the same situation, do not give up hope.
We were able to work with
our local doctors to do the necessary tests and send the results to a Gerson
licensed doctor at the Gerson Institute for evaluation and help in developing a
treatment plan.
We also purchased the
Gerson Handbook, videos, and other Gerson books. We studied and incorporated
the information into our lives. We endeavored to stay as close as possible to
the basic Gerson program.
We understood the optimal
treatment and then did everything we could within our financial situation to
follow the program as closely as possible.
We did not live in an ideal
environment with the ideal financial portfolio to allow for everything.
We had to do a lot of
praying and believing, taking actions that were best, if not optimal.
This included;
·
All organic
juicing
·
All organic
food, eliminating spices, and food that is unhealthy (no restaurants)
·
Pure quality
drinking water, and
·
Pure quality
air within our own home and
especially our bedroom
or where I was
spending most of my
time.
·
Detoxing my
body with coffee enemas
·
Hydrotherapy
(water) and later Infrared sauna and
·
The list
continued.
The Gerson Therapy is a
state of the art, contemporary, holistic, alternative, and natural treatment
which utilizes the body's own healing mechanism in the treatment and cure of
cancer and other chronic debilitating illness.
When it was
introduced to the world by Max Gerson, M.D., the dietary therapy was so far
ahead of its time that there were almost no rationales available in the
scientific literature to explain how it could produce cures in cancer, and
chronic, as well as infectious diseases.
Gerson first published on the
topic of cancer in 1945, almost forty years before the adoption of the current
official U.S. National Cancer Institute program on diet, nutrition, and cancer.
The Gerson Therapy
as a natural, holistic, alternative treatment did cure many cases of advanced
tuberculosis, heart disease, cancer and numerous lesser conditions. The Gerson
Therapy was established as a major contribution to the medical field, through
the publication of articles in peer reviewed medical literature. (See
Gerson-Research Publications)
Max Gerson treated
many hundreds of patients and continued to develop and refine his therapy up
until his death in 1959, at the age of 78.
His most famous
patient was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, whom
Gerson cured of advanced diabetes when Schweitzer was 75. Schweitzer returned to
his African hospital, won the Nobel Prize, and worked past age 90.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer wrote "I
see in Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine."
Most recently, Dr.
Gerson was recognized as a pioneer in his field when he was inducted into the
Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame in Ottawa, Canada on May 14, 2005.
Dr. Gerson joined
seven other giants of medicine whose seminal work has been influential in the
medical and scientific worlds, and are considered pioneers in their respective
fields.
It is rare to find
cancer, arthritis, or other degenerative diseases in cultures considered
"primitive" by Western civilization.
Is it because of diet?
The fact that
degenerative diseases appear in these cultures only when modern packaged foods
and additives are introduced would certainly support that idea.
Max Gerson said "Stay close to
nature and its eternal laws will protect you."
He considered that
degenerative diseases were brought on by toxic, degraded food, water and air.
The Gerson Therapy
seeks to regenerate the body to health, supporting each important metabolic
requirement by flooding the body with nutrients from almost 20 pounds of
organically grown fruits and vegetables daily.
Most of the organic fruits and
vegetables are used to make fresh raw juice. It is important to drink one glass
of juice every hour, 13 times per day.
Raw and cooked solid
foods are generously consumed. Oxygenation is usually more than doubled, as
oxygen deficiency within the blood contributes to cancer and many other
degenerative diseases.
The metabolism is also
stimulated through the addition of thyroid, potassium and other supplements, and
by avoiding heavy animal fats, excess protein, sodium and other toxins.
Degenerative
diseases render the body increasingly unable to excrete waste materials
adequately, commonly resulting in liver and kidney failure. To prevent this, the
Gerson Therapy;
·
Uses intensive detoxification
to eliminate wastes,
·
Regenerate the liver,
·
Reactivate the immune system
and
·
Restore the body's essential
defenses - enzyme, mineral and hormone systems.
No treatment works for
everyone, every time. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not giving you the
facts. We know that when you have been diagnosed with a life-threatening
ailment, choosing the best strategy for fighting your illness can be a
bewildering task.
With generous, high-quality
nutrition, increased oxygen availability, detoxification, and improved
metabolism, the cells - and the body - can
·
regenerate,
·
become healthy
and
·
prevent future
illness.
Everyone claims to
have either "the best treatment", "the fastest cure", or "the only therapy that
works."
In most cases your
trusted family physician only has knowledge of conventional treatments, and is
either unaware of, or even hostile toward alternative options.
No matter how many opinions
you receive on how to treat your disease, you are going to make the final
decision on what to do, and you must be comfortable with your decision. Choose a
treatment that makes the most sense to you.
Most conventional
therapies treat only the individual symptoms while ignoring what is ultimately
causing the disease.
The reason the
Gerson Therapy as a natural, holistic alternative is effective with so many
different ailments is because it restores the body's incredible ability to heal
itself.
Rather than treating only the
symptoms of a particular disease, the Gerson Therapy treats the cause of the
disease itself.
Although we feel the
Gerson Therapy is the most comprehensive treatment for disease, we don't claim
it will cure everything or everyone.
The Gerson Institute
does not own or operate any medical facilities; they do refer individuals to
clinics which are fully licensed by the Gerson Institute to provide the Gerson
Therapy.
Whether you plan to
follow the treatment on your own at home, would like to schedule admittance to a
clinic, or simply have questions about the Therapy, they encourage you to
contact one of their client service representatives at the Gerson Institute.
(See
resources).
Caution: Do not
start the Gerson Therapy without the supervision of a Gerson practitioner if any
of the following conditions apply:
Individuals must be able to eat, drink and eliminate normally.
The
Gerson Therapy cannot be administered to organ transplant recipients.
Juicers
They do
not recommend the use of any centrifugal-type juicers for Gerson individuals.
Other
non-centrifugal juicers may be used for health maintenance or non-cancer
diagnoses.
Juicing is an
essential component of the Gerson Therapy. To ensure reliable results, the
Gerson follower will need to purchase an appropriate juicer.
Dr. Gerson's
research indicates that cancer individuals must have a two-stage juicer with a
separate grinder and hydraulic press.
One-step juicers
generally do not produce the same quality of enzyme, mineral or micronutrient
content, and some individuals have failed to experience results simply by using
the wrong juicer.
See
juicers
for more information about juicers.
The Diet
The Gerson diet is
naturally high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, micro-nutrients, extremely low in
sodium and fats, and rich in fluids.
The following is a
typical daily diet for a Gerson individual on the full therapy regimen:
-
Three full vegetarian meals, freshly
prepared from organically grown fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A
typical meal will include salad, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes,
vegetable soup and juice.
See Gerson Diet.
Medications
All medications used
in connection with the Gerson Therapy are classed as biological materials of
organic origin that are supplied in therapeutic amounts. Some of them are as
follows;
Detoxification
A very important
part of the Gerson Therapy is frequent detoxification of the tissues and blood.
This is accomplished through a variety of means, first and foremost through the
use of coffee enemas.
The scientific basis
for the use of coffee enemas is well documented.
Individuals report
that the enemas decrease pain and hasten healing.
Biologically, enzyme
systems of the gut wall and liver are stimulated, and bile flow is increased.
This has been shown to enhance the body's ability to eliminate toxic residues of
environmental, chemotherapeutic, and other sources.
For more information
regarding the liver, see
Liver.
Tumor and other
diseased tissue are also more rapidly eliminated as it is broken down.
Other means of
detoxification include castor oil, used as an additional stimulant of bile flow
and as another way to enhance the liver's ability to filter blood.
In addition, digestive
enzymes serve to enhance absorption of nutrients as well as assist in the
elimination of damaged tissue.
Yes, I submitted to the
castor oil treatment. Each time I was ready to follow through with the process
and considered that taste of the castor oil – I considered the alternative of
the pain, nauseous ness, and other side effects of surgery, chemo, and
radiation.
I considered a few minutes
of a taste and feeling in my mouth as nothing.
How important is good
health and vitality to you? It was vitally important to me and my family.
Individuals must have a complete understanding of the Gerson Therapy so that
they may effectively continue the regimen at home after leaving the treatment
center. The following are examples of educational opportunities at a typical
licensed Gerson facility:
-
Regular, individualized
consultation with your Gerson physician on the specifics of your condition
and any necessary modifications to the treatment. During this time, any
specific questions you have may be addressed.
Through the use of videos,
books and reading and studying we were able to accomplish most of the same
things in the confines of our own home.
Our Mission is to share
with each of you the options you have in assisting in healing your own body. It
is a journey. Enjoy it and share it with others. You will be delighted with the
results. As you give it will be given back.
I am healed. It is nearly
eight years later and I am healthier than I have been for the past 15 years. We
will share with you the steps we took. It was a long journey for us, as we had
to search out each treatment option.
There are a myriad of
doctors, acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, and the list continues.
Each has a treatment –
option that may help cure cancer. We did not have the money, the time, or other
resources to depend on any one(s) of them.
We
looked at our resources and made the best investments that would allow us to
assist my body as well as those in my household to experience health, vitality
and energy.
We believed we needed to go
back to the ancient ways and follow an established method of healing that
incorporated the way our bodies are expected to survive.
As I take care of my body
my body will take care of me. We each are responsible for our health.
There was truth in eating
whole foods that are raised and nurtured naturally (organically as we have come
to know it).
To drink pure quality water
in its most natural form made sense.
To breath air that was
cleaned but not changed in structure made sense.
And so as we made our
choices we went back to what is the most natural, the way it was intended in the
beginning.
Our body is created to heal
itself! Cut yourself – you heal. Break a bone, the doctor straightens and sets
the bone, your body heals the bone. Feed the body the most natural whole food,
the body will heal. Drink the most pure quality water, the cells will replenish
themselves.
We came to the place where
Almighty God is our “Great Physician”.
We needed to spend time
knowing Him, talking with Him and most importantly listening to Him. That in
itself was a new awakening. Yet from the beginning we are created to “walk and
talk” with Jesus.
As we heard from God, we
needed to take action. It was difficult to discipline ourselves.
But I only had one chance
to get it right! We made mistakes, Jesus picked us up and we continued forth in
doing what we knew would assist our body in healing.
He, God
Almighty, did the rest!
