Story

   This report illustrates the effectiveness of the Gerson treatment in healing
the different diseases suffered by the members of one family.

   First we saw the mother, S. H., whose mammogram at the age of 53
showed some suspicious details. The surgeon removed two lumps from
her breast; they were found to be malignant. He suggested that S. H.
should have a mastectomy, possibly followed by radiation, but admitted
that the latter would leave her lungs permanently burned and would
also soften and damage her bones. The patient opted for a radical mastectomy,
but the day before the surgery she decided to go to Mexico for
the Gerson treatment. She started the therapy in February 1995, had no
other treatment of any kind, recovered fully and remains well.

   S. H.'s daughter T. had suffered from pleurisy since the age of three.
Her condition worsened and, by the age of 37, as the mother of two children,
she was seriously ill: she could hardly breathe and was unable to
sit, lie down or sleep, even in a hospital bed. At the time, her mother,
S. H., was in the 14th month of her Gerson Therapy. She traveled from
California to her daughter's home in Wyoming, with one suitcase full of
organic fruit and vegetables and another one containing her clothes.

   S. H. reports that, after her first glass of carrot juice, her daughter T.
started to feel better. She kept improving rapidly and, after three weeks,
was walking, sleeping and recovering, until eventually she completely
cleared the long-standing pleurisy for the first time in her life. She is
now fully well and training to become a massage therapist.

   Some years after the recovery of mother and daughter, S. H.'s husband
C. was found to have a PSA of around 14 to 16 (the normal level is
1 or below). In July 2003, a biopsy proved that C. had prostate cancer.
This was remarkable since, for years, he had been eating the same diet
that had cured his wife, S. However, C. had heard a lot of commercial
hype about soy products and their high protein content and, thinking he
needed more protein, added a number of soy products to his food
intake. He also took a fairly large amount of "aminos," which are high in
sodium as well as being derived from soy. When C. stopped the soy and
the aminos and went on the full Gerson Therapy, he, too, recovered,
and has remained well and active for over four years.
