Is almond milk (made by soaking
blended almonds overnight in distilled water) an acceptable
substitute for soy or rice milk?
While rice milk may be used as a
substitute for soy milk, because it is a non-fat milk made from
rice, it is not used for the purpose of obtaining phytoestrogens
for hormonal balance. On the other hand, almond milk is a nut
milk with high fat content. Due to this fact, Gerson patients
must not use almond milk. Any liquids, other than juices, should
be used in limited quantities as the number of juices required
in the Gerson Therapy is quite high. Taking in other fluids will
detract from one's ability to consume the proper amount of juice
needed for the Gerson Therapy.
