A Letter from Charlotte Gerson

Dear Gerson friends, As 2012 winds to a close, I want to thank you for helping Gerson grow this year. It has been a year full of new opportunities. In March, I celebrated my 90th birthday. I was amazed by the outpouring of energy and enthusiasm that I felt from Gerson supporters across the world. The Institute has come a long way since I co-founded it in June of 1978. The clinics have also come a long way from the(...)

Peppermint: A Healthy Herbal Tea for the Holidays

Everyone has their holiday rituals, and many of us have certain holiday foods that occupy a special place in our hearts. I wish I could say that mine was butternut squash soup or another healthy, hearty dish. But, no. As a teenager growing up in Washington, DC with a certain ubiquitous corporate coffee shop on every corner (and sometimes in-between), I rather shamefully admit that my yearly holiday vice was a peppermint mocha with whipped cream and red sprinkles. I(...)

Gluten Gluttons: How Gluten Affects Your Digestive Health

I remember growing up when my mother would bake homemade breads. Our family would devour a whole loaf within a few hours, and she would need to make another to replace it. The enthralling scent which wafted from the oven, the cozy feeling of a warm, full stomach after a few slices, and the rich flavor of the wheat flour and spreads added, they all had me hooked. I started to wonder as I grew older whether I really enjoyed(...)

Rita’s Story: Healing Breast Cancer Holistically

I am from a little town 25 km North of Barcelona, Spain. I was diagnosed with a hormone-dependent breast cancer in November 2009 called invasive ductal adenocarcinoma; stage II/III, tumor size 2cm. I felt devastated at that moment, and so did my husband, my mother and my sisters. But then I felt the strength inside myself, and a furious rage came out saying that this cancer wasn’t going to kill me -- that I would be victorious! The doctors immediately(...)
