A Mother’s Journey: Healing Cancer With The Gerson Therapy

This Mother’s Day, we wanted to share a story of healing that you helped make possible – combined, of course, with the amazing determination, courage and perseverance of Maria and her family. In 2012, Maria had a traumatic surgery to remove a cancerous tumor surrounding her colon. Her doctors said she would die without chemotherapy and radiation. Maria had already experienced the devastating toxic effects of chemotherapy in her previous battle with breast cancer, twelve years earlier. She felt that,(...)

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

Ned & Bree’s Story

Why Life, Moments and People Are More Important Than Cookies My father's birthday is December 8th.

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(...)

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(...)

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.

Anderson Cooper Interviews the Family of a Gerson Patient, Carrot Juice Mustaches Ensue!

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

I'm talking about his interview with Sy Harger, a six-year-old boy who loves carrot juice and Hippocrates soup! On the May 8th episode of Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show, Anderson Live, Sy's parents Jordan and(...)
