Video: Charlotte Gerson Interviewed by Dr. Jameth Sheridan

Today we have the great pleasure to share with you a previously unreleased interview between Charlotte Gerson and her longtime friend, Dr. Jameth Sheridan from 2013! Since Charlotte is in the midst of a difficult recovery from a broken hip and has settled into a well-deserved retirement, she likely won't be doing any new interviews anytime soon. So, now is a good time to share some unseen gems from our media archive. This interview with Dr. Jameth Sheridan was filmed(...)

Checking in with Charlotte Gerson

Charlotte Gerson celebrated her 92nd birthday this March, and we received hundreds of absolutely delightful messages of support and celebration. However, as Charlotte continues to advance further into her nineties, we have also begun to hear more and more from people inquiring about her health. So, we thought we would share an update about how Charlotte is doing these days. Last year, as you may know, Charlotte tripped over an electrical cord in her bathroom and broke her pelvis. Her(...)

Making Peace With My Dad’s Choice Not to Do the Gerson Therapy

For almost a decade, I’ve followed a plant-based vegan diet. Throughout my early twenties I encouraged friends and family to change their diets, and many did, after seeing improvements I'd made to my own physical health and positive state of mind. When I was 24, I volunteered at The Gerson Institute. I knew immediately that it was the place for me. Finally, I was surrounded with people with like minds who didn’t look at me sideways when I expressed my(...)

My Gerson Therapy Weight Loss Challenge

Weight loss! What a challenge! Especially for a foodie! I love food, all kinds. Ever been to Pat’s in Philly for those mouth-watering cheese steaks smothered in Velveeta cheese sauce? Or to a classic drive-in with those incredible sweet burgers, crunchy onion rings and delicious hand-made milk shakes? All favorites that I’ve had to give up! Over the years, I’ve moved away from many of the greasy unhealthy fast foods that I love and moved steadily towards healthier and healthier(...)

Pumpkin Harvest Rice Recipe

Nothing ushers in the fall season like pumpkins. I’ve always seen them as the mascot of autumn, bright and festive and fun – not to mention delicious and packed full of nutrition. A cup of cooked pumpkin is loaded with vitamins A and C and is a powerhouse of potassium. Like carrots and butternut squash, pumpkins boast the antioxidant beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a member of the carotenoids, which are highly pigmented fat-soluble compounds naturally present in many fruits and vegetables(...)

Trans Fats Are Out! FDA Deems Trans Fats Unsafe at Any Level of Consumption

Good news, health nuts! This month, the FDA announced that they will be instituting a ban on trans fats, removing them from their list of ingredients that are “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). The New York Times reported that this “means companies would have to prove that such oils are safe to eat, a high hurdle given that scientific literature overwhelmingly shows the contrary. The Institute of Medicine has concluded that there is no safe level for consumption of them,(...)

Jonathan is Getting Ready to Go to the Clinic, And It’s All Thanks to You!

Last week, we told you about Randy Clemens, an awesomely big-hearted fellow who started a fundraiser to help a patient go to the licensed Gerson clinic in Tijuana in honor of his mother Bonnie, who passed away from cancer a few weeks ago. We matched Randy up with Jonathan Hernandez, an 18-year-old boy with metastatic osteosarcoma, whose parents had been scraping and saving and raising funds in their local community to pay for treatment at the clinic.

Save Money and the Earth by Growing Your Own Organic Food (& Keep Pests Away Naturally)

Springtime is full of beautiful blooms, new sprightly sprouts, and a fresh new set of in-season produce to brighten up our lives. We normally think that we need to visit the grocery store or florist to enjoy these beauties, but that's not the only answer. Growing a garden is much more enjoyable, personal and cost-effective. Gardening can offer a great economic benefit for patients on the Gerson Therapy as well. The brightness it can bring to anyone’s day, especially an(...)
