Gerson Institute Speaker's Bureau
Contact us to schedule a speaker for your community, club or school. Seminars can be catered to your needs and we place an equal emphasis on disease prevention as we do upon treatment.

Charlotte Gerson
Founder, Gerson Institute

Charlotte, born in Germany to Dr. Max Gerson, was always interested in her father's work. She read much medical literature, assisted Dr. Gerson in translating and writing papers, often made rounds with him at his clinic and helped with patient nursing. In 1977, she was instrumental in organizing a Gerson Therapy hospital in Mexico as well as training physicians, nursing staff, and kitchen staff in the practice of the Therapy. During the last 25 years, Charlotte has lectured on the Gerson Therapy is many countries including the U.S., Canada, England, Germany, Denmark, Austria, and Australia, and has also appeared on numerous radio and television programs such as Oprah and Gary Null. Charlotte also lectures regularly at such conventions as the Cancer Control Society, the National Health Federation, the International Association of Cancer Victims and Friends, the Foundation for Alternative Cancer Treatment, and many more. At the Mexican hospital, she regularly visits patients and lectures there once a week. Charlotte and the Gerson Institute have also initiated a Physicians Training Program in order to train and certify other Gerson Therapy practitioners worldwide.

Carol Beard
President, Gerson Institute Board of Directors

Carol first heard Charlotte lecture in 1975, and has since used the Gerson Therapy to help in curing her daughter of asthma, extend her mother's life by two years after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given three months to live, and also improve her personal health and well-being. She became a Gerson Institute Volunteer in 1998. In March 2004, Carol became the Gerson Institure Director of Professional Services. At the Institute, she aides client services by answering patient queries and also by making follow-up calls. Carol spent one month at the Gerson Clinic in Mexico as a companion and was also on the full Therapy herself. She gives informal talks and testimonial lectures at various alternative health venues and Gerson workshops.

Shirley Tice
Member, Board of Directors and Recovered Gerson Patient

Shirley is a recovered Gerson patient of 16 years who used the therapy for a breast cancer diagnosis. She went to the Gerson Approved Clinic in Mexico for three weeks and then returned to follow the therapy at home with the help of her son. She is an experienced Gerson Therapy Caregiver and has cared for a variety of patients. She offers her testimonial at various conferences and on-site classes, including our Gerson Therapy Training Program for Licensed Professionals, where she lectures on the care of an individual who is doing the therapy. Like Carol, she gives informal talks about being a caregiver or her experience while on the therapy herself. She was a member of the Gerson Institute Board of Directors for five years.
