Story

   George was born in 1919. At the age of 64, a CAT scan done in
Victoria, British Columbia, showed tumors in the body and
neck of his pancreas. His physician told him that it was 100%
certain that George was suffering from pancreatic cancer. He
was told that conventional treatments were hopeless.

   Prior to his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, George had
already suffered three heart attacks. He also had osteo-arthritis
and his hands showed the lumps and somewhat deformed
fingers.

   He arrived at the Mexican Gerson Hospital in February
1983 and started the Gerson Therapy. He immediately began
to feel better and hope returned. His attitude is best demonstrated
in a small incident: another patient in a neighboring
room at the hospital complained about the taste of the liver
juices. (These were still being used at the hospital at that
time.) George's succinct response was, "Beats dying!"

   George continued the treatment at home in Victoria.
Later CAT scans showed that his pancreas was clear and that
he had recovered.

   Some nine years later, in good active health, he divided
his time between playing golf in Victoria during the summer
and spending the winters in Hawaii. He remained well and
active until 2001 when he passed away at age 82.
