5.0 out of 5 stars A cure for melanoma, March 30, 2000

By 

Howard D. Straus (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Time to Heal: Triumph over Cancer, the Therapy of the Future (Arkana) (Paperback)

Beata Bishop, a British journalist and author, received the dread diagnosis of widespread melanoma, normally a death sentence. Her surgeon offered her no hope for survival, nor did the grim statistics for "the black death" as it is called. Then Beata became aware of a nutritional therapy that was offered in Tijuana, Mexico, the Gerson Therapy. After speaking with several people who had succeeded on this therapy, Beata travelled to Mexico for the Gerson therapy. This book is the story of her odyssey of survival, recovery and rebirth into vibrant health using the natural processes of her own body to heal and defeat the cancer. It also details the psychological healing that accompanies the physical processes of recovery. Bishop is a sensitive, articulate writer, aware of and able to express the feelings of despair, hope and joy that she experienced. This book has been translated into German, Czech and Hungarian, and Bishop now lectures on her therapy, twenty years after her diagnosis of "terminal".

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Read for Anyone With Cancer or a Chronic Illness, January 18, 2005

By 

G. Arthur Kelly (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Time to Heal: Triumph over Cancer, the Therapy of the Future (Arkana) (Paperback)

I would hope this book will help to make more people aware of the Gerson Therapy which is the best hope for all cancer patients and also for anyone with a degenerative disease. Beata Bishop's story is one that has been repeated many many times by other people who have used this therapy. She vividly recounts the stages of surprise, grief and then determination to get well and take control of her treatment that people who have gone on the Gerson Therapy have shown while they defeat the cancer that has temporarily taken them down. The USA medical community for the most part has hid its eyes from the most effective cancer treatment on the planet mostly out of self-interest and unwillingness to admit that large amounts of organic nutitrion, detoxification from the many sins of the typical American diet, some key supplements and avoidance of some key negative foods are what bring the body to a state where it can heal itself, rid itself of cancerous tumors and also heal other degenerative conditions and illnesses of the body. To this day over 20 years after her treatment on the Gerson Therapy Beata Bishop in London, England is promoting the Gerson Therapy to others and is also helping to heal people overcome their pyschological limitations to complete healing in her own private practice.
Please read this book and then explore the Gerson Therapy for yourself with the book, "The Gerson Therapy - The Amazing Nutritional Program for Cancer and Other Illnesses" by Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, D.P.M. Read also the definitive original work on the Gerson Therapy called "A Cancer Therapy - Results of Fifty Cases & The Cure of Advanced Cancer by Diet Therapy" by Dr. Max Gerson, M.D. Videotapes by Charlotte Gerson are also available at the web site, www.gerson.org, and they help to explain the Gerson Therapy in more detail and how to do it yourself at home, although for very advanced cases of cancer or other advanced illness it is best to travel to their facilities in Mexico for on-site treatment. Also, please go to the web site, www.gerson miracle.org, to see a free 90 minute documentary film called "The Gerson Miracle" by Stephan H. Kroschel and screenplay by Howard Strauss, son of Charlotte Gerson, on the Gerson Therapy. This documentary film won first place at the Beverly Hill Film Festival in 2004. Howard Strauss was instrumental in getting it made and continues the hard work of spreading the good news about this therapy. You can also order the film's DVD at either site. If you can also please read "Cancer Winner" by Jacquie Davison although it is currently out of print. It is another very inspiring read by someone who cured herself of malignant melanoma (a skin cancer whose name literally means "black tumor") with the Gerson Therapy.
See for yourself why the famous Dr. Albert Schweitzer, M.D. said of Dr. Max Gerson, "I see in Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine." Dr. Max Gerson extended Dr. Albert Schweitzer's working life by approximately 15 years after treating him for advanced adult onset diabetes with the Gerson therapy when Dr. Albert Schweitzer was 75 years old. The inimitable Dr. Albert Schweitzer was cured and thereafter worked until past the age of 90.

5.0 out of 5 stars another true report from a cured incurable melanoma patient, April 26, 2004

By 

joe grimland (Texas, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Time to Heal: Triumph over Cancer, the Therapy of the Future (Arkana) (Paperback)

a very well written book from a respectable source validating the awesome benefits of The Gerson Therapy and telling her personal battle with the "black death". I told some friends about this book and about Dr. Max Gerson. They reported back that they couldn't imagine a paperback for $67. Well folks try the Gerson Institute web site and buy one or a hundred at $12.95. There is no short supply!!!
