Understanding a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

What is the Prostate? The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located in the male pelvic region. It is near to the rectum (bowel), testes, and penis. It also encases the outlet pipe of the bladder. The function of the prostate is to produce some of the fluid that makes up the semen. This prostatic fluid, milky or white in appearance, is released into the semen, along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The prostate gland, like all the other(...)

Patient Perspective: Gerson Therapy for Ovarian Cancer

AMY JOHNSON | SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI It was May 2013, and I was curious about having a baby since I just turned 43, and the maternal clock was ticking loudly. While driving one day, I saw a billboard that said, "Fertility Partnership", and I thought, 'that sounds nice, I always wanted to have a partner to share the experience'. So I decided to make an appointment. Weirdly, the night before at 3AM, I was woken by a super sharp, knife-like(...)

Patient Perspective: Gerson for Lyme Disease

March 2010 was when I started the Gerson Therapy, and March 2012 was when I decided enough work had been done and discontinued my four coffee enemas per day routine*. As I write this on my eight year anniversary after completing Gerson Therapy, the following words are my way of paying forward with altruistic means for others who are still trying to figure out why good health is difficult to achieve. Gratitude I think the most important piece of information(...)

Potatoes

A Nutritional History of the Potato (& Why It Doesn’t Deserve Its Bad Reputation!)

Many people are surprised to learn that potatoes play such an important role in the Gerson diet. Through no fault of their own, potatoes have gotten a bad reputation nutritionally. If the most popular way to eat kale involved being deep-fried, covered in salt and doused with preservatives – well, even kale’s reputation might suffer a little. Potatoes are actually incredibly nutritious. In fact, during the Klondike gold rush of 1897 in Alaska, potatoes were literally worth their weight in(...)

Gerson Therapy Nutrition Necessities

  We all know that food and nutrition are an integral component of overall health, but few know why Dr. Gerson chose specific staple foods such as oatmeal, potato, cooked vegetables, carrot juice and apple for the Gerson Therapy. The Gerson diet is all organic and predominantly plant-based with a strong emphasis on generous, high-quality nutrition. The diet is naturally high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, micro-nutrients, and extremely low in sodium, fats, and proteins. While much of the produce consumed each(...)

Non-Toxic Cookware

On the Gerson Therapy, food IS medicine. In addition to prescribed Gerson juices, patients are encouraged to consume raw and cooked foods in generous quantities. Equally important to what we eat is what we cook with. Common cookware such as non-stick Teflon and aluminum contain toxic chemicals that leach into our food. For example, non-stick Teflon cookware is coated in PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a plastic polymer, and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal linked to some diseases of the(...)
