Editorial Reviews

THE GERSON MIRACLE introduces us to the physician who developed The Gerson Therapy more than 75 years ago a therapy that has proven to cure cancer and most other chronic and degenerative diseases. Through his own painful struggle with migraines, Dr. Max Gerson conceived a treatment based entirely on nutrition and the body s own ability to heal itself. He cured his migraines and summarily concentrated on other methods that prove to naturally boost the immune system this is the real miracle. Nine current and former patients speak passionately about their successful recoveries from the most deadly cancers. Their first-person recovery stories are the greatest testament to the therapy s efficacy. And it is through Dr. Gerson s daughter, Charlotte, that the therapy is still alive in the face of almost insurmountable opposition from the American Medical Association and most major pharmaceutical companies. This film offers a path to a healthier life, in tune with our bodies and environment, not in conflict with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for every human, not only those with Cancer January 3, 2011

After viewing this as a family, one of our teenager's friends said "Why not NOT get cancer?"

Why not, indeed??

It has always been difficult for me to believe that our fellow man could be so corrupt that they would suppress information of this kind, but with every passing year I see more that confirms that this is so. I want to be clear that I do not believe for an instant that individual physicians are part of some huge conspiracy, that they take MDs to a secret basement room to indoctrinate them to this.... no, indeed as an individual who has worked in the healthcare field for 20 years I can tell you that there are far too many physicians who get cancer and die within the normal 5 year timeframe undergoing our traditional treatment for this illness. If they knew about this cure, if they could believe that everything they had learned was incorrect, they would do this. If they knew, they would not choose to DIE to protect some huge conspiracy theory. I know because I have seen it that most Americans do not want to hear any of relatively limited dietary advice physicians give them. Seriously, they will usually get this really stubborn look on their faces and say "Can't you just give me a pill?" The medical community as a whole is doing it's best right now, this is one area where we need to teach them. Most MDs have no training in dietary cures, nutrition, and what they are taught flies in the face of what Gerson therapy involves.

While I do believe that there are many people in power who DO know and who actively, knowingly suppress this information, I think that the bottom line is that we have to let go of any finger pointing and just take our health into our own hands. Our bodies are our own responsibility - we and our families will be the ones to pay the price if we neglect to take care of our one and only body. So let's do it! Supply and demand are what will drive our country in the proper direction and permit us all to enjoy more organic, less processed foods. A back yard garden in which we compost the majority of our family's waste products with the help of our friends, the worms, will make each of us healthier and more in tune with our foods while protecting our environment. Each of us can buy a juicer and give our bodies delicious, nutritious and energy producing foods BEFORE we get cancer or a chronic disease.

And those of us who have cancer or any other illness can cure it if we are willing to change the way we live and care for our bodies.

I have been on a mostly raw diet with a focus on green smoothies for the past year and the health benefits I have gained are incredible. I am off Metformin, antidepressants, no longer have Polycystic Ovaries, my PMS is gone, I have lost a great deal of weight, I glow and look over 10 years younger than I am, and I just have so much energy. Now that I am aware of the Gerson therapy, I intend to incorporate their advice, including doing juice fasts and cleansing periodically to help my body be as healthy as it can be.

As our young friend said... why not NOT get cancer?

I watched this DVD on Netflix. It gives background and points you in the direction to better health. You do need to order the book The Gerson Therapy to get the diet and more information to implement the changes in your life.

This should be watched by all cancer patients and anyone willing to pull their head out of the sand and see life other than what they see on Television news or Oprah. You should ask yourself. Why can't this be put on say the Discovery Channel or The History Channel . It has to be better than the other junk they air.
