Gerson Therapy
The Gerson diet is based on the premise that a person who has cancer has very high levels of toxins in the body and these need to be removed in order for the cancer to be healed. It uses certain combinations of fruit and vegetable juices, and frequent enemas. People using the Gerson diet will consume specially formulated vegetarian meals, large amounts of fruit and vegetable juice, and 4 or more coffee enemas per day.
It originally included daily consumption of raw liver juice, which has been recently removed from the diet. Some alternative healthcare providers believe that the original success of this therapy was linked to the inclusion of raw liver, and it should be included to obtain the full benefit of the therapy.
It was developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920s and 1930s and is now available from the Gerson Institute located in Mexico. The Gerson diet can be done at home when a person has a committed care provider to assist with the therapy. Some people go to Mexico and then continue the therapy at home after they begin to recover.
