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(...)

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(...)
