Story

Madelyn was 62 years old when in the course of a regular annual
checkup and Pap smear the doctor noted that she was bleeding
from the uterus. Madelyn thought that, surprisingly, she was still
having a period. But the doctor performed a D & C and discovered
that, in fact, Madelyn was suffering from uterine cancer
- malignant cells were found in the scraped tissue.

That surprised her, too, since she had been careful to eat "healthfully"
since 1957. At that time she was suffering from bursitis.
The movements of her shoulder were so restricted that she was
unable to comb her hair or swim. She read an article in Prevention,
"which suggested Brewers' Yeast as a remedy for bursitis.
Madelyn tried it and found that after about three weeks of taking
some tablespoonfuls of Brewers' Yeast her sleep had improved and
her arm was moving much better. She had also changed her diet.

With the diagnosis of a malignancy in the uterus, her doctors
wanted to do a hysterectomy, followed by radiation. Madelyn
spent a few days at the hospital, but, in her own words, she
"couldn't stand it." She refused the suggested treatments. Her
husband had a copy of Dr. Gerson's book, A Cancer Therapy,
which he had bought second-hand and had also lent it out.
Madelyn decided to give the Gerson Therapy a try, and in 1985
went to the Gerson Hospital in Mexico for a month.

Meantime her daughter helped her to get the Gerson Therapy
household established at home - she even found a second-hand
Norwalk juicer - while Madelyn "just loved the Therapy, it was my
kind of thing." Her uterine bleeding had stopped after the D & C.
Madelyn's condition improved greatly and after about six
months she went down from 13 juices to about seven a day. She
continues to be very well, now in her mid-seventies, is active and
working hard in her family's plant nursery business.
