Six Courageous Cancer Patients. One Radical Choice.

I first met Marie, one of the protagonists of my upcoming documentary The Food Cure, in the sunny courtyard of the licensed Gerson clinic in Mexico. We had spoken on the phone once before, and she greeted me with a big, radiant smile. I was expecting someone who looked and acted "sick," but it struck me that she seemed perfectly healthy. Marie introduced me to her sister-in-law, who was there to support her, and invited me to join them for(...)

Ned & Bree’s Story

Why Life, Moments and People Are More Important Than Cookies My father's birthday is December 8th. There was a time, about 12 years ago, when we weren't sure he would see any more birthdays, let alone important milestones in our life. 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(...)

How I’m Conquering Prostate Cancer

During a routine exam in 2007, the doctor found a nodule on my prostate. I got a biopsy and they found cancer on half of my prostate. They wanted to remove or radiate it but they couldn't guarantee that I would be cancer free. Afterwards, I spoke to my friend Allison. She told me about how she did the Gerson Therapy 25 years ago. When she described the rigorousness of the therapy, I didn't think I could do it. So(...)
