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(...)

How to Do a Clay Pack

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(...)

4 Better Menstrual Products to Replace Your Toxic Tampons

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. There is virtually no good reason to use douches, wipes or deodorants; they do more harm than good! So, let’s focus specifically on menstrual products, since those are by far the most-used feminine hygiene products. There are pros and cons to each type of(...)

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(...)

Video: Charlotte Gerson Interviewed by Dr. Jameth Sheridan

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(...)
