About the authors

Max Gerson was Charlotte Gerson's father. He developed the Gerson Therapy, which is a holistic solution for disease with more than 90 years of success that will rebuild your immune system back to 100%, so that your body’s natural defenses once again overcome and eliminate disease.
Flooding your body with life giving vitamins, minerals, nutrients and enzymes from fresh organic fruits and vegetables
Cleansing your body using a natural process that flushes chemicals and toxins from the liver and so much more.
Charlotte Gerson lived over 90 years of health on this protocol and dedicated her life to teaching us about it.

Dr. Walker attended New York University, 1947 to 1949. He graduated with the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine, attending 1949 to 1953.
Previously licensed in three states, he practiced podiatry for over 16 years and was awarded 18 medals by the American Podiatry Association for podiatric research and medical writing during this time. Then he discontinued his foot care practice and became a medical journalist fulltime, freelance for the next 42 years.
During this period he had 91 health consumer books published plus more than 5,000 clinical journal articles and magazine articles printed. His work includes the writing of 4,000-word monthly columns on natural and nontoxic methods of healing for 32 years for the Townsend Letter, The Examiner of Alternative Medicine.
His books are published in 14 languages among 28 countries. Some of his titles have sold millions of copies. He has been designated “The Guru of Chelation Therapy” in as much as he had had ten titles published about this subject alone including the techniques of intravenous, oral, and anal chelation administration.
For thirty-three consecutive years he lectured before the American Cancer Control Society.
Designated as “The World’s Leading Medical Journalist on Holistic Medicine,” he was presented with Humanitarian Awards by The American College for the Advancement in Medicine, The American Cancer Control Society, and The Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine.
He came out of retirement in order to enlighten the public worldwide about “Cancer’s Cause Cancer’s Cure” as discovered by Mirko Beljanski, Ph.D.

Basically this program requires you to drink fruit and vegetable juices thirteen times a day and to also take numerous supplements. With that said I think you should be under the care of a doctor from the Gerson clinics because trying to figure out how to take the supplements and in what quantities is very difficult to figure out.
Also to follow this program you need to basically become a vegan for a while and then you can slowly add back in animal protein in limited quantities if your doctor permits it. There are many limitations and basically you will just be eating fruits and vegetables as well as rye bread, oatmeal and brown rice. No salt is allowed and dairy is restricted at first. No animal protein is allowed at first. No sugar, no pasta, no flour, no sprouts, no soy products, no cucumbers, no coffee or tea (besides chamomile and peppermint), no fats besides flaxseed oil and no candy, cakes or muffins and pastries. As you can see this diet is mostly vegan.
There are a lot of complex things to figure out when following this program. For example a regular centrifugal juicer is apparently not good enough. The juicer you need is much more expensive and I could not even find it at amazon. The book gives the address of the manufacturer and explains where to order it. Basically the author of this book claims that if you don't have the right juicer you are just wasting your time and you won't get well.
My impression after reading this book was that you need a lot of money to get well. It may also be advisable to go to the Gerson clinic in Tijuana Mexico to figure out how to take care of yourself. That will cost thousands per week. Then at home you must take various supplements, do coffee enemas and use about 15-20 pounds of produce a day. This will take an extra refrigerator - to keep everything fresh.
Now the stories of people's experiences with this program are amazing. The pictures of the well patients do look very promising. However these are people who went to the clinic, learned a lot about their care and kept on a strict diet after leaving the clinic.
In this book the author does explain that the Gerson program is difficult to follow. I would have to agree with that. Some people have had to ask for the help of their family to keep on track.
If you are going to buy this book I'd suggest getting the paperback. Only because there are recipes and it would be easier to cook from a paperback version. My only complaint about the recipes is that they seem to be vague in regards to oven temperatures. Low heat to one person might not be low enough to another.
I would think of this book as an introduction to the topic of getting well if you have cancer. Realistically you will have to do much more research and also possibly go to the clinic to get supplies and advice.
The last thing I would like to say is that you should be cautious about who you tell about this book. I have found all my interactions with people I talked to to be very negative and sometimes aggressive. I thought people would be happy to hear that there might be hope for terminally ill cancer patients. I was wrong!
With that said I take no responsibility for your health should you follow this program. This review is for information purposes only.
~The Rebecca Review
I thought this to be unbelievable, until another friend was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and given 6 months to live unless a liver transplant was conducted. After taking himself off of his 12 medications and completing the Gerson Therapy for 30 days, he no longer needed a transplant and doctors were dumbfounded. They had no answer as to why his liver had become healthy again.
My friend told me this story two months before I had my first gallbladder attack. I was so sick, I could not eat anything other than fruit without having extreme pain in my upper right abdomen and feeling unbearably nauseous. I lost 12 pounds in 10 days and became so malneurished due to my body not properly digesting food that there were days when I could not form proper sentences. In my head I knew what I wanted to say, but my brain could not get the words to my mouth. This was extremely scary for me, as I had never had health problems like this before and I am the only person in my immediate family without a digestive disease. My brother and sister having ulcerative colitis, my dad chrone's and my mother celiac. I went to six different doctors, had numerous tests completed and no one could tell me what was happening. The only reason I now know I had a gallbladder attack was because I researched it myself, obtaining numerous books on gallbladder and liver problems and studying them until I could complete a self diagnosis. When I suggested this may be the problem to one specific doctor on my 9th visit with her, she simply told me 'yes, that could be.' No one could tell me what was wrong, so I found the answers myself.
Through part of my research, I found the Gerson Therapy and remembered the stories of it helping those with multiple digestive issues. The Gerson Therapy has even been proven to cure ulcerative colitis and celiac disease, so I thought I would give it a try. I completed 30 days of the therapy, drinking all of the juice and sticking to the strict diet. The only thing I changed was that I only completed 1-2 coffee enemas per day, as I work full time in an office completing the enemas three times per day was difficult. I can now eat whatever I want, drink alcohol and caffeine without being in extreme pain, and (although a bit of a TMI) I have regular and normal bowel movements.
I HIGHLY recommend this therapy to anyone having any type of digestive issues, and even if you are not having any problems at all. My husband completed the therapy with me for support, difficult for him as he had to stop drinking beer and eating wings ;), but after the first two weeks he admitted that he felt like a new person. If you are dealing with any type of health issues, PLEASE check this out!!! Not only is this therapy a working science miracle, but I highly recommend this specific book because it really lays out the history and the science behind the therapy. Here's to feeling better!

For heathy younger people, elements of the therapy can be incorporated into everyone's daily routine fairly easily which will promote health and help defer degenerative diseases. This alone is a very good reason to read the book.
If disaster strikes at least you have a real choice. Death is not an inevitable consequence of cancer diagnosis.
Thank you Charlotte! Your Father was a genius who still is not - but I am sure - will soon be recognised by the world and a full credit will be given to him for his life long work and achievements! There are not enough words in the vocabulary to thank Him, You and all those at the Gerson Institute involved in saving lives all over the world.
This is the book which gives the hope to cure the "incurable" disieses in a natural, simple and affordable way to everyone.
