Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases [Paperback]

Beata Bishop, Joanne Shwed, and MD, Ph.D. Abram Hoffer Charlotte Gerson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2009

There is a split right down the middle of modern medicine. One half, boosted by dazzling high technology, shows brilliant results in handling acute diseases and emergencies. The other half, dealing with chronic degenerative conditions, is lagging behind, unable to offer more than symptomatic treatment for the most widespread distressing conditions ranging from cancer, heart disease and hypertension to diabetes, arthritis and morbid obesity. It is assumed that these and other "diseases of modern civilization" are both inevitable and incurable. Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases contradicts all such assumptions. As a complete guide to the theory and practice of the Gerson Therapy, developed over 80 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson, MD (1881-1959), it shows that the increasingly denatured, nutritionally empty, toxic modern diet is the main cause of today's worsening health crisis. This book offers the solution in the form of a brilliant, precision-built nutritional program that eliminates the underlying causes of disease, leading to lasting cures. This program is best known for its success in curing many types of cancer, but it also has an excellent track record with a large number of other degenerative conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roadmap to Health, November 5, 2009

By 

JackMetal "mjack" (Huntington Beach) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases (Paperback)

This book outlines in detail the exact protocol used at the famed Gerson clinic in Mexico. The key centerpiece of the treatment is a vegetarian diet with no dairy, no soy and no fried foods. This alone cures loads of problems as long as you emphasize organic foods, juicing and proper food combining. The book goes into much greater detail and covers all the nuances of the treatment. It's well worth the money. The basic diet guidelines eliminate 95% of health problems like migraines, allergies, obesity, acne, depression and you name it. This is the reason why Dr Max Gerson was given such a hard time. He would have put hospitals out of business if he was allowed to continue.

This text on the Gerson protocol is one of the best health books I have read in recent years. It is clearly written, easy to follow, and filled with valuable information. The instructions for following the protocol are concise and understandable. The recipes, too, are plentiful--having tried several already, I've found that they are delicious. Excellent book all around.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need a great juicer?, December 23, 2010

By

This review is from: Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases (Paperback)

Great book, great program, enough said...

I noticed, though, that sooo many people are paying tons of money for their juicers, with some not being able to take advantage of this remarkable therapy because of costs. I would HIGHLY recommend the Juice Daddy Juicer, promoted by Jay Kordich ([...]).

Jay Kordich was actually one the many cancer patients cured by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1940's: he was only 22 yrs. old and was diagnosed with bladder cancer; the only treatments at that time were surgery and cobalt. He remembered hearing about Gerson curing Dr. Albert Schweitzer, so Kordich hitchhiked to NY to become one of Dr. Gerson's patients. He's now in his 80's, and looks great!! After watching the DVD "A Beautiful Truth" last December (2009) and seeing and hearing Jay Kordich speak in that documentary, we purchased the original Juice Daddy juicer. We liked it so much that a month or two later we bought 2 more--one for use at our second home, and one for my brother. We just bought two more as Christmas gifts for others this year (2010)!

The original Juice Daddy is approx. $100; there is now a new juicer available with a blender attachment for approx. $150. I got one of each of these for the Christmas gifts for others. If you don't have a blender, then I think the new one is a very good idea... We juice every day at least 1 time! Our Juice Daddy doesn't even look worn... My brother's is also still working fine after a year. These juicers are stainless steel, have very powerful motors, two speeds, and just work!

Hope this helps those of you who are interested in the Gerson Therapy, but who don't have a ton of money to spend. Get one from Jay Kordich--a person actually CURED from cancer by the Gerson Therapy, who is vibrant and happy 65+ years later! I'm not being paid to post this, and I have NO financial or other association with Gersons or Jay Kordich... Just someone trying to help others... God bless!
