Story

   The following case history is only one of a large number on record. In
December 1993, the 87-year-old father of recovered Gerson patient
M. W. suffered a heart attack. After the ambulance delivered him to the
emergency room, he had a stroke. Subsequently, he spent three weeks in
the hospital's intensive care unit, was given a pacemaker and a great deal
of drugs, and eventually his wife was told to take him to a nursing home.
M. W., however, persuaded her mother to take him home instead and
immediately rushed to join her parents.

   She was shocked at the sight of her father, sitting in a wheelchair,
head drooping to one side, drooling. She worked with him day and
night, cautiously putting him on the Gerson Therapy. At first, she gave
him a few juices while he was still taking all the prescribed drugs, and
then slowly increased the intensity of the protocol. In three months, the
old gentleman was out of his wheelchair. In August 1994, eight months
after the heart attack and stroke, he walked into the Department of
Motor Vehicles office and applied for-and got-a driver's license. He
remained well, celebrated his 90th birthday in August 1996, and passed
away a few years later.
