Story

   In 1988, K.B., aged 70, noticed redness and swelling in the nipple area of
her breast. Her doctor in Modesto, California, took a biopsy that proved
she had a malignant tumor; he also confirmed that he "hadn't got it all"
and urged her to have a mastectomy. She refused. A second opinion by a
physician at Stanford confirmed the original diagnosis and K.B. was
advised to undergo surgery, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation.
Again she refused.

   Rejecting any conventional treatment, K.B. embarked on the Gerson
Therapy at home, at first eating only raw foods and having six enemas a
day for eight months. Then she added some organic, vegetarian cooked
foods. After one and one-half years, the cancer was gone but she still
had some scar tissue which she chose to have removed. A biopsy
showed that the tissue was clear of any malignancy. The Tumor Board
noted in her medical records that the patient was "Cured by Diet." (6)
K.B., now (2007) in her late 80s, shows up every year at a Los Angeles Health
Convention! She still drinks juices but eats "a little meat." This case is all
the more remarkable because the patient pursued the Gerson Therapy
on her own, at home, without staying at the Gerson hospital or having a
Gerson doctor to consult.
