Story

   Sharon was born in 1943. She was 47 when she was diagnosed
with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma - several swollen lymph nodes
were biopsied.

   In the summer of 1992, she arrived at the Mexican Gerson
Therapy hospital for treatment. By that time, she had swollen lymph
nodes on her neck, under her arm, and a huge tumor in her abdomen.
She was told that it was wrapped around her ventral aorta
and that for that reason surgery was impossible, radiation not
likely to be effective. She turned down the offer of chemotherapy.

   On her arrival, she had extensive edema in her legs, ankles,
feet, as well as in her abdomen (around the large tumor), her hips
and even her buttocks. She spent the first five days at the hospital
with very frequent trips to the bathroom to urinate; but she was
not 'tapped' (fluid withdrawn artificially). At the end of those five
days, she had lost 28 pounds and her feet, legs, hips and buttocks
were normal. Of course the swelling around the tumor in the
abdomen was still there.

   In February 1993, she had a re-examination by her doctor in
Wenatchee, Washington. He reported that none of her tumors
could be felt; that she was feeling 'very well,' and that her edema
is 'resolved' (has disappeared) but that she had 'marked carotenemia'
... (an entirely harmless discoloration of the skin due to the
consumption of large amounts of carrots.) He added, "Dramatic
response of the lymphoma with alternative medical approaches.
This approach, however, is achieved with considerable work on
behalf of the patient ... She remains adamant, however, that she
wants no conventional medical treatment."

   Sharon testified about her recovery at a convention in Seattle in
1998. Last report: March 2002. She is very well and active in her
husband's business. She had no treatment other than the Gerson
Therapy.
