Story

   This case is described in Dr. Max Gerson's book, A Cancer Therapy:
Results of 50 Cases, (Case No.6, p. 277, Sixth Edition, 1999).

   George was 47 years of age in July 1953 when first seen by
Dr. Gerson. He had been admitted and diagnosed at Queens (New
York) General Hospital after complaining of severe headaches and
continued loss of vision, worsening during the past six weeks. The
vision loss had started some 4 to 5 years earlier; and he was known to
have syphilis since age 21, receiving treatment. Nevertheless, at the
time of his admission, his Wasserman test showed 4 plus, the highest
positive rating for syphilis.

   By the time he consulted Dr. Gerson, the patient was almost blind,
had continuous deep headaches and dizziness. His equilibrium was
disturbed and when he tried to walk he staggered and was unsteady.
His tumor was located in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain,
in the very center of the head.

   After starting the Gerson Therapy, his headaches decreased, but he
was suffering from twitching in the right side of his face, some-times
severe and painful. By the end of September 1953, George was free of
pain, of headaches and dizziness and his gait was free and sure. The
right side of his face became normal after two weeks and remained
normal. In December 1953, he went back to work. His vision was
considerably better than it had been in a long time. His right eye was
normal while it had been almost blind.

   Surprisingly, his Wasserman test became negative without any
specific anti-syphilitic medication or treatment. The Gerson Therapy
had strengthened his immune system sufficiently that his body was
able to overcome the syphilis of many years.

   George discontinued his Gerson Therapy at Christmas 1956.

   Many years later, in the mid-nineties, his wife visited the Gerson
Therapy hospital in Mexico. At that time, she confirmed that George
had been well and working for a number of years; however at one
point he started to smoke. Not long after that, his headaches
recurred, his vision weakened again, and eventually he died.
