Home Set-up Trainers

Whether a patient is able to spend some time at a Gerson facility or decides to embark on the Therapy at home, the longest part of the healing process –a minimum of two years- will take place in his or her residence. The home needs to be turned into a kind of private clinic.

“In order to really be sure that the patient understands and follows the Gerson Therapy exactly, I ought to follow them around their house and kitchen 24 hours a day. I am frequently surprised and shocked to find the mistakes being made.”
–Charlotte Gerson.

It is easy to make mistakes when beginning the Gerson Therapy and adjusting to the dietary restrictions and specific guidelines for food and juice preparation. People often do not realize what they do not know. For this reason, Home Set-up trainers provide an excellent service that can greatly help you implement your personalized treatment plan.

Certified Home Set-up Trainers (HST) have been fully trained by the Gerson Institute in every aspect of setting up the home to run smoothly and correctly. HSTs have experienced the Gerson Therapy personally and completed four phases of interviews and an 8-day intensive internship.
