Gerson Home Set-up Trainer Certification Program

What is a Certified Gerson Home Set-up Trainer? (Formerly known as a Gerson Caregiver)

Gerson Home Set-up Trainers go to client's homes to help them set up properly for doing the Gerson Therapy. This includes helping and teaching them to prepare the Gerson food and juice, explaining the coffee enema technique, assisting with the healing reactions and supporting the client in any other way unique to their situation and needs. A Gerson Home Set-up Trainer always adheres to the guidelines in Healing The Gerson Way and the other Gerson books. Being a Gerson Home Set-up Trainer can involve many hours of standing while teaching and assisting in the kitchen.

Gerson Home Set-up Trainers can choose to work only in their own city or they can travel throughout the country or world. As an independent contractor, a Home Set-up Trainer will negotiate their fees, travel expenses and scope and hours of service with the client.

Gerson Home Set-up Trainers do not provide medical advice or prescribe the Gerson protocol, but rather help implement a schedule from a Gerson clinic or help the client use the Gerson material to design their own program.

Gerson Home Set-up Trainers are not authorized to set up in-home training or day care services with the Gerson Therapy protocol. Gerson Basics training
