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(...)

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(...)

This week, Anderson Cooper had an amazing interview with a charismatic fellow with an affinity for giving shout-outs to his favorite foods.
