Story

   On August 7th, 1995, we received a short (but exciting) note from
Evelyn Wingate. It read:

   "I was in Nanuet, New York (Dr. Gerson's clinic) in 1956. I
had some lymph nodes removed [after the birth of a baby]- was
diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease (Lymphoma). I came to the
clinic after the glands were removed, [with new glands growing;
see below] spent two weeks there and remained on the Therapy
strictly on Dr. Gerson's instructions.

   "I had two children since and have just retired from a bank
where I was the loan manager for 15 years. I am now 70 years of
age, feeling great. Praise God!"

   The following information is taken from Dr. Gerson's records
of Evelyn Wingate.

   "First seen Jan. 31,1956; aged 31. In July 1955, she reported
to the Women's Hospital in Cleveland, OH where she delivered a
baby on Jan. 4, 1956. But she had "cervical glands of neck, and a
hard, movable mass was palpable in the right side of neck, measuring
about 4 cm. Dr. S. Hayashi performed the operation.
Biopsy: lymph nodes show changes of Hodgkins disease. " After
the operation, on Jan. 6, 1956, right side of neck showed severe
swelling. She received seven X-ray treatments. By Jan. 31st, a new
swelling appeared in the scar. She complained of severe tiredness.
Started Gerson Therapy at that time.

   "February 5th: mass at right neck reduced, softer.

   "February 11th: Tumor mass greatly reduced, feels much better,
putting on weight and is stronger.

   "Feb. 19th: Husband got homesick and left Dr. Gerson's clinic
in Nanuet with his wife, Evelyn, for their home in Chesterland,
Ohio."

   There is further correspondence with Dr. Gerson until his
passing in March 1959.
