Story

Paul Scelsi was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1991, aged 69.
He had several needle biopsies, three of which showed positive
malignant cells, while three others were negative. His PSA (prostate-
specific antigen, a marker for prostate cancer) stood at 6
- not very much deviated, but above normal.

Paul started the Gerson Therapy at the Mexican Gerson
Hospital in 1991. It is interesting to note that at first his PSA rose,
reaching 14 at the end of three months. Needless to say, this kind
of development alarms the patient. A probable explanation is that,
since an antigen is involved, the body at first increases its defenses
and raises the antigen to help reduce the malignancy. After 18
months on the Gerson Therapy, Paul's PSA went down to 0.3,
very much within the normal range.

Incidentally, it turned out that many years before Paul had
spent some time in the South Pacific and had contracted infectious
jaundice (hepatitis ). Later examinations revealed some "indentation"
in his liver, damage that had not been overcome through the
years.

Paul is now perfectly well, according to his annual total checkups.
The prostate is normal and his present PSA is 2.
