Get Started

How do I get started on the Gerson Therapy? (For patients with a serious illness)

The best way to get started is to go to a licensed Gerson Clinic or treatment center for a minimum of two weeks where you can be monitored and received a Gerson protocol specific to your condition.  The Gerson Clinic in Mexico is specially equipped to care for people with cancer. 

NOTE:  The Gerson Institute does not own or operate any clinics but we license them to ensure they are providing true Gerson care.

If for some reason this is not an option, there is a list of Gerson trained licensed health professionals who can get you started and supervise your progress. 

We recommend that everyone purchase the Gerson Therapy Home Package from our STORE as well.

You will receive a specific protocol tailored to your needs from the Gerson Clinic/Treatment Center or Gerson trained practitioner based on your medical records and blood tests.  It will include the number of and type of juices to consume each day, the supplements you need and number of coffee enemas per day.  

After your return home from the clinic, or receiving your Gerson protocol from the Gerson practitioner, you will need to purchase the correct juicer, cookware, enema bucket and supplements and organic produce. 

There is also a list of Gerson Trained Caregivers and Home Set Up Coordinators who can help you to set up your home and teach you or your caregiver the basics of Gerson food preparation, juicing, coffee enemas and more.

Or you and/or your caregiver can attend the Gerson Institute Caregiver Class.

How do I arrange to go to a Gerson Clinic?

To go to the Gerson Clinic in Mexico, you first need to be approved for admission.
Fill out our online form and one of our Client Services Representatives will email you an Intake Packet and tell you what medical records to send/fax to our office.  We immediately forward these to the clinic in Mexico for review by the Gerson doctors.  We notify you when the doctors give their approval, and then we help you to arrange transportation and other things you need to prepare for the visit.

NOTE:  The Gerson Institute does not own or operate any clinics but we license them to ensure they are providing true Gerson care.

How long does it take to get into the Gerson Clinic?

The whole process usually takes a week or less, unless the clinic happens to be full. 

After we receive your medical records and Intake Packet, it usually takes us up to 48 hours to get approval from the Gerson Clinic doctors.  Once we get approval, we notify you so you can pay in advance for the full Clinic services and make transportation arrangements.
