Story

   E. T., of Cairo, Illinois, presents the most remarkable case history. E. T.
had dropped out of school after the sixth grade and had received no further
education. He had spent all his life working in a junkyard, sorting
various metals. In 1966, aged 69, he was advised by his doctors to put his
affairs in order as he was dying of prostate cancer with extensive spreading
into his bones and a large mass in his groin. He had been treated
with hormones, but his doctors realized that those treatments were no
longer effective and there was nothing more they could do.

   When his doctors gave him what amounted to a death sentence, he
remembered reading something about the Gerson Therapy. He contacted
Dr. Gerson's eldest daughter, asking for help. She pointed him to
her father's book, A Cancer Therapy—Results of Fifty Cases," (11) but after a
short while he called her back and stated that he couldn't understand
the book. So she told him simply to follow the chart on page 235.

   E. T. obeyed her instructions but, having lost his wife years before, he
found that pursuing the therapy at home was "the hardest thing he ever
did." One day, leaning over the arm of a chair, he broke one of his ribs,
weakened by metastases. He was in severe pain and felt tempted just to
stay in bed. However, he forced himself to get up and prepare the food
and juices since he knew that, without helping himself, he would die. In
a short time, he was free from pain. After a month, his doctor could no
longer feel the large mass that he had found in the patient's groin. E. T.
soon felt well and had much greater energy.

   One day he received a call from a friend in Kentucky, the chiropractor
Dr. G. D., who told him that he was dying of lung cancer that had
spread through both of his lungs. Could E. T. come and help him? E. T.
traveled to G. D.'s home and set up the Gerson Therapy for him. Amazingly,
both these terminal patients recovered! Fifteen years later, in
1981, both were alive and well. E. T. was 84 years old. Dr. G. D. was a
good deal younger and lived for many more years. Eventually, we heard
from his son that he had passed away.
