Story

Born in 1921, Elizabeth has a complex medical history. In 1967,
aged 38, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer of the cervix at
Yale - New Haven (CT) Hospital. The cancer had already invaded
the bladder wall. Prior to surgery she received 4500 rads of cobalt
radiation, which shrank the tumor by 70%. During the long and
complicated operation her uterus was found to be cancerous, too,
and was removed, together with both ovaries, cervix and urinary
bladder. Elizabeth withstood the surgery well and was able to
return to work.

In the early Seventies she found out about the Gerson Therapy,
and in 1977 went for a week to recently-opened Gerson Hospital
in Mexico. She stayed on the Therapy for 18 months and experienced
a significant improvement in her general health, together
with a sense of rejuvenation. She remained on the modified
Gerson Therapy "on and off" ever since, and returned for ten
days to the Mexican Gerson Hospital for a "refresher" in 1987.

Her next serious problem arose in 1988, when she needed
surgery for a fistula in the lower bowel, caused by the extensive
radiation she had received in 1967. This was carried out at the
White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, by Dr. Zerne. However,
the radiation had also damaged the lymph nodes in Elizabeth's left
groin, causing severe edema in her left leg. She has been able to
control it to some extent, but it has not gone away completely.

In 1995, Elizabeth had a thorough check-up at Saddle back
Radiology, Laguna Hills, CA, and was found to be free of metastatic
malignant disease, being generally in good health. Now aged
over 80, in a recent letter to Charlotte Gerson she wrote, "I know
I will pass away one of these days, but I'll be d - - d if I die of
cancer!"
