Yes. Every patient is required to bring a companion with them, for no additional charge. The patient can be a friend, relative, spouse, or any person who will be assisting him or her with the Gerson Therapy at home.
The companion comes to support the patient, and to learn the Gerson Therapy, so that they can assist the patient in continuing to implement the Gerson Therapy once they return home. The companion is provided all the Gerson meals and some juices during the day, but as they are not patients, they do not undergo the full Gerson protocol.
There are 10 rooms at the clinic in Mexico, so they can accommodate 10 patients and their companions at a time.
