      Story 
      When Jeff was 
      diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1984, he didn'twant to undergo the 'cut, burn and poison' type of treatments.
 Neither did he agree to have a biopsy for positive proof of his
 disease: he was worried about the possible spreading of cancer
 cells that is likely when a malignancy is cut into. However, he had
 very high levels of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), a
 glandular cancer indicator. The normal level is near zero for
 males; in females it only rises during pregnancy.
 
 Beside this indicator, Jeff also had a tumor on one testicle that
 was larger than the testicle itself. In his search for alternatives, at
 first he tried Dr Burzinski's treatment for a very short time, but
 switched almost immediately to the Gerson Therapy, doing the
 treatment at home, on his own.
 
 After just one month on the Gerson Therapy his HCG levels
 dropped sharply and continued to do so during the next five to six
 months. By about eight months on the full Therapy, his HCG level
 was close to normal.
 
 Jeff also drank a lot of Aloe Vera juice from Barbados. Apparently
 together with the Gerson Therapy, this caused him heavy
 healing reactions after about two months.
 
 A sonogram done ten years later, in 1994, was negative.
