Certified Gerson Caregivers Referral Service
In order to achieve success, most people need to follow the
Gerson Therapy diet for at least two years. The food preparation
methods alone, of three meals and up to 13 daily juices from 20
pounds of organic vegetables and fruits, can be quite labor
intensive. People using the Therapy can often benefit from an
outside Caregiver doing activities such as freshly preparing
their foods and juices throughout the day. For this reason, the
Gerson Institute developed a program to train and certify
Caregivers in the basics of the Gerson Therapy.
These Caregivers go through a training process, including
successful completion of the Caregiver and Gerson Therapy Basic
Training Class, a week-long internship program, a written test
and an interview. Once they are certified, the Caregivers are
added to the Gerson Institute Approved Referral List.
Gerson
patients can contact our office and request names of caregivers
in their area. Please contact Blanca Ayala at bayala@gerson.org for a current caregiver contact.
Caregivers work as independent contractors and they set their own fees. Caregivers can perform a variety of services, ranging from
visiting for a short time to help Gerson Therapy patients to
correctly set-up their home and kitchen, to working on an
ongoing basis to provide continuous daily support, such as
making Gerson foods and juices. Some Caregivers are willing to
travel to a different city or even country, and others prefer to
work locally.
Gerson Therapy patients need to contact potential Caregivers
directly to discuss your needs and find out what they are
willing and able to provide. Caregivers cannot give any medical
advice or prescribe the Gerson protocol.
