Story

In the spring of 1994, when Charlotte Gerson was giving a
presentation at a health convention in Chicago, Anna K. asked to
testify. She said that she lived in Detroit and had traveled to
Chicago just to attend the convention.

The story she told sounded almost incredible. In 1991, she had
been so ill, weak, and non-functional that when she heard about
the Gerson Therapy and learned that Charlotte Gerson would be
giving a lecture and seminar in Miami, she traveled all the way
from Detroit to learn what she could do to restore her health.
Extremely impressed, she embarked on the Gerson Therapy in
September, hopeful of overcoming at least some of a long list of
problems: endometriosis, allergies, sinus infections, chronic
bronchitis, recurrent kidney infections, chronic fatigue, ocular
migraines, arthritis, heart valve problems, stomach ulcers, and
candida.

Now at the convention three years later, Anna K. reported that
she was doing extremely well, felt strong and healthy, and no
longer suffered from any of the above conditions. She had good
concentration and good energy, and really looked well and fit.

Incredible as her story seemed, she was living proof of the
maxim that when the body truly heals, it cannot heal selectively;
all problems tend to disappear. Anna K.’s health conditions, when
looked at closely, were more or less related to a malfunctioning
immune system. (Part of her immune-suppression problem could
well have been caused by the fluoridated water in Detroit.)

There was more to be told, too. Anna said that when she
started on the Gerson Therapy, her son was 18 years old, and that
he too was suffering from a collection of chronic health problems:
ear infections (starting from birth), allergies, constipation (he
moved his bowels only once a week), migraines, intermittent
fevers, and strep infections.

Anna then said that her son had followed the Gerson Therapy
as well. (This regimen is difficult for a teenager to do because of
peer pressure.) She was happy to report to the health convention
attendees that he was now totally well. Moreover, he had become
an instructor in self-defense, and was urging his students to
change their diets so as to achieve better energy, concentration,
and muscle control.
