Story

The endometrium is the mucous membrane lining the uterus. During
the fertile years of a woman, this lining is shed every month if the
secreted ovum is not fertilized and implanted in the tissue. When the
organism or the hormone system is malfunctioning, the endometrium
can spread to various sites throughout the pelvic area, including the
abdominal wall. As the condition worsens and the menstrual cycle does
not get regulated, endometrial tissue may spread throughout the body,
becoming a malignancy "resembling metastatic pelvic carcinoma." (5)

   The case of S.T. illustrates this progression perfectly. This patient had
gynecological problems at the very start of her menstrual periods.
Thirty-five years later, she was diagnosed with endometriosis and had a
number of D and Cs (dilatation and curettage, or scraping of the uterus)
to remove endometrial plaque. In the end, she had a partial hysterectomy
yet her problems continued. Finally, in 1979, a Pap smear showed
cancer of the cervix, with atypical (irregular, not conforming to the normal)
cells in her blood. She also noticed lumps in her breast but these
were not further investigated. A hysterectomy was arranged for her, but
she declined the operation.

   She began to investigate alternative treatments, changed her diet and
fasted. Then she remembered a lecture she had heard many years before
by Charlotte Gerson and decided to go on the Gerson Therapy. Having
done so, she was surprised to experience severe healing reactions with
nausea and vomiting, but then recalled being told that she had a great
deal of scar tissue in her abdominal area, probably caused by earlier
ulcers. S.T. stayed on the therapy for two years and declares, "Never
once did a bite of food enter my mouth that I should not have eaten."
She remains well (last report was in November 2006) and is busy taking
care of her aged parents and in-laws, who are in their 90s, and occasionally
her grandchildren.
