And I have to report, so far, so good!

Why I’m Making a Documentary About the Gerson Therapy

Guest post by Sarah Mabrouk I spent a good part of my career as a journalist, covering news stories in the Middle East. I reported on the Iraq war, the withdrawal from Gaza, the war in Lebanon, Ahmedinejad’s rise to power in Iran, the election win of Hamas in the Palestinian territories, and many other intense events. So you might ask yourself how I suddenly got the idea to do a documentary about people undergoing a nutritional cancer therapy. It(...)

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

Nima Najafi was born in Teheran, Iran, a few months before the Iran-Iraq war began. His family left for Germany for eight years to escape war, finally immigrating to Los Angeles in late 1991, where he worked in the entertainment industry. Nima suspects that his family’s experience of constantly trying to escape the path of conflict had an impact on his body, as well as family pressure, stress, lack of sleep and holding emotions inside himself. In Los Angeles,(...)

Video: Charlotte Gerson Interviewed by Dr. Jameth Sheridan

Today we have the great pleasure to share with you a previously unreleased interview between Charlotte Gerson and her longtime friend, Dr. Jameth Sheridan from 2013!

So, now is a good time to share some unseen gems from our media archive. This interview with Dr. Jameth Sheridan was filmed(...)

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.(...)

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(...)
