Disease as Miracle: Multiple Sclerosis, the Healing Reminder and the Gerson Therapy

Nima Najafi was born in Teheran, Iran, a few months before the Iran-Iraq war began. His family left for Germany for eight years to escape war, finally immigrating to Los Angeles in late 1991, where he worked in the entertainment industry. Nima suspects that his family’s experience of constantly trying to escape the path of conflict had an impact on his body, as well as family pressure, stress, lack of sleep and holding emotions inside himself.

Ned & Bree’s Story

Why Life, Moments and People Are More Important Than Cookies My father's birthday is December 8th. There was a time, about 12 years ago, when we weren't sure he would see any more birthdays, let alone important milestones in our life. He had undergone surgery, radiation, and chemo with no success and the next step, said the doctors, was high-dose chemo to prolong what little life he had left. So he chose Gerson. It was his last option, but at(...)

Recipe: Cauliflower with Carrot Sauce

Cauliflower looks like broccoli's very pale brother. That's because, like broccoli, cauliflower belongs to the family of cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, watercress and kale are chock-full of antioxidants and are known to be powerful players in preventing cancer. Kale has become quite the superfood star of the culinary world over the past few years, but definitely don't forget about its nutritious cousins like cauliflower! This cauliflower dish is a favorite among the staff at the Gerson(...)

By Mikhaela Payden-Travers Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the Winter 2015 issue of the Gerson Institute's quarterly newsletter, Healing News. We focus a lot on nutrition and how the food we eat impacts our health and effects healing, but today we're going to focus on another key component to health and healing: sleep.

Carrie’s Story: Overcoming Breast Cancer with the Gerson Therapy

In 2009, when I was 31 years old and still nursing my one-year-old daughter, I found a lump in my breast. Then, I learned that I was pregnant again. I just knew something was wrong inside of me. Soon afterwards, I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, and I underwent multiple surgeries and chemo while I was pregnant. Despite everything, I delivered my “chemo baby” and she was healthy. I got infections after every surgery, including urinary tract, kidney(...)

Clay may provide us with the earliest example of using the earth’s resources to solve medical problems. When placed on the skin, clay draws out toxins to the outside surface of the clay (adsorption). These toxins then enter into the clay and sit in between its layers (absorption). Therapeutic clay is a type of clay that swells in water and belongs to the smectite series. The smectite series includes Montmorillonite clay, a type of clay named after the Montmorillon region(...)

Last week, we looked at the nasty chemicals lurking in feminine hygiene products. Today, let’s talk about what kinds of menstrual products you can use to replace the standard drugstore products that contain those troubling substances.

The Dirty Secrets of Feminine Hygiene Products

Women’s Voices for the Environment released a report this year called “Chem Fatale” that examined the toxicity of various feminine hygiene products. They found that tampons, pads and other feminine hygiene products contain a number of unwanted chemicals and pesticides, and can be detrimental to women’s health. I know menstruation—and the vagina, generally—is a conversational topic that often prompts expressions of disgust, mockery, gross-out jokes or pleas for ignorance, particularly from men. But let’s all agree to be mature adults(...)
