Story

Barbara, who was born in 1950, had used street drugs—all of
them—as was common among many young adults during the ‘70s
and ‘80s. When she was about 21 or 22, she tapered off the drugs,
and then stopped cold.

At age 32, after the birth of her third child, Barbara developed
skin sores in her hairline and on her face, as well as a rash all over
her body. Her hands were itching and burning, and she even had
sores in her nose. Her hair came out in patches; her joints had
arthritic swellings and were burning; her hands also developed
tiny blisters containing fluid. She had ulcers and experienced
dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and general pain. She said later that she
had seen “at least four physicians”—but got no help from them.

When Barbara was tested for food allergies, she proved allergic to
200 foods. She suffered from depression and read about the
macrobiotic diet. Unfortunately, this diet contains a good deal of
salt and mostly cooked foods. When she tried it, she felt much
worse.

Then she borrowed Max Gerson’s book, A Cancer Therapy.
(When reporting on her situation years later, she still felt guilty
about never returning the book to its original owner.)

The Gerson Therapy made sense to her, and she started a modified
form in 1984. Almost two years later, she decided to come to
Mexico to undergo the treatment totally and exactly.

Six years later, in September 1992, she reported to us that she was
totally recovered and was now “a normal vegetarian.”
