As cancer treatments improve and we starting to find ways to keep cancer patients alive and healthy longer, a very old method of treating cancer has started to reappear. This old way of treating cancer is an alternative way that heals the body rather than treating the cancer. This therapy is called the Gerson Therapy. The Gerson Therapy was actually developed by a man named Max Gerson who was looking for a cure for his migraine. What he discovered was that if he ate mainly vegetarian and took salt out of his diet his headaches went away. Soon he was treating other patients for migraines with the same therapy. However, people who came to him complaining of migraines and were treated by the therapy also found that other problems that they had like lupus, arthritis, and other aliments also disappeared. After doing research Gerson started treating people with terminal illnesses including cancer. The way the Gerson Therapy works is that the body is flooded with nutrients and vitamins from organic fruits and vegetables. The diet is a total vegetarian diet that includes a large amount of vegetable and fruit juice throughout the day. The therapy also includes coffee enema. The therapy works because the body is given enough nutrients and vitamins to heal itself. The Gerson Therapy does not include chemotherapy or any other form of toxins. Anyone who is interested in starting the Gerson Therapy should only do so at the Gerson Clinic or under the direct supervision of a doctor. The statistics for the recovery from cancer after this form of treatments are not only higher than those from chemotherapy but people tend to live longer, healthier lives.  |
