Juicing Tip: What to Do When Granny Smith Apples Are Out of Season

The two main juices for the Gerson Therapy, the Gerson green juice and carrot-apple juice, share a common ingredient: granny smith apples. But at this time of year, they're out of season, and can be particularly hard to find organic. Coincidentally, it's also around this time of year that our Education Team starts to get lots of frantic phone calls and emails from Gerson patients, who can't find green apples anywhere and don't know what to put in their juices.(...)

It’s Anita Wilson’s 10th Anniversary as Executive Director of the Gerson Institute. Here’s How We Surprised Her!

Our Executive Director’s leaving for lunch doesn't usually spark so much nervous speculation and nervous energy from the staff. The old adage “while the cat's away, the mice will play” doesn’t often apply at the Gerson Institute. We’ve all got too much work to do! But May 16th was special. We were secretly preparing to celebrate Anita Wilson’s 10th as the Executive Director of the Gerson Institute. Those of you who know Anita probably know that she loves parties--and she(...)

Anderson Cooper Interviews the Family of a Gerson Patient, Carrot Juice Mustaches Ensue!

This week, Anderson Cooper had an amazing interview with a charismatic fellow with an affinity for giving shout-outs to his favorite foods. No, I'm not talking about his now-viral interview with Charles Ramsey, the McDonalds-loving hero who helped rescue three women from captivity in Cleveland. I'm talking about his interview with Sy Harger, a six-year-old boy who loves carrot juice and Hippocrates soup! On the May 8th episode of Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show, Anderson Live, Sy's parents Jordan and(...)

Recipe: Triple Citrus Dill Vinaigrette Dressing with Apple Cider Vinegar

This citrus dill vinaigrette is one of our go-to salad dressing recipes; we often serve it at the Gerson buffet lunch at the Gerson Basics Workshop and here at the Institute during lunchtime.

In addition to a number of creative ways to use apple cider vinegar for DIY cleaning products, hair and skin care, we talked a lot about the amazing nutritional benefits of ACV. But,(...)

How the Gerson Community Rallied to Help Six-Year-Old Sy

And the winner is… you! You may remember, a few months back, I was raising funds for a Sy Harger, a six year old boy with a rare condition called eosiniphilic esophagitis, who is on the Gerson Therapy. If you don’t recall my last post, let me bring you up to speed! My name is Amanda Onken, and I work on the Gerson Institute’s patient follow-up program, where we contact patients to see how they are doing on the therapy. I(...)

Recipe: Zesty Beet & Watercress Salad

Our Beet and Watercress Salad pairs soft, cooked beets and onions with raw watercress, all topped off with tangy lemon juice. This recipe, while simple, contains two awesomely detoxifying ingredients: beets and watercress. Beets contain phyochemicals called betalains, which have great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Watercress is also an incredibly healthy food packed with phytonutrients, especially when consumed raw. Gerson persons of course know that watercress is an important part of the Gerson Green Juice. Two 2010 studies from the(...)

“The Real Me is Returning” | Lyme Disease & the Gerson Therapy

My name is James and I'm here to share a Gerson Therapy story concerning my recovery from Lyme disease. A couple years ago I would not have had the strength or desire to stand up to tell my story. But now that I'm well on my way to a Gerson recovery, it's important for me to pay it forward and make a difference in someone else's quality of life. I'm simply a local volunteer with nothing to gain from sharing(...)
