Story

In April 1979, three weeks after Susan went through childbirth,
“It hit all at once.” Her joints were swollen and stiff. When she
took aspirin, she lost her hearing and her stomach was upset.

Then for one year she took Motrin. Still, her hands “locked shut,”
her arms became immovable, her knees swelled to three times
their normal size, and her ankles were “huge.” Unable to do
anything much, she lay in bed, crying.
Then she heard of the Gerson Therapy. She started by taking
coffee enemas. Because they helped by decreasing her pain and
swelling, they gave her some hope of recovery. In June 1980 she then
came to the Mexican Gerson hospital. Within two weeks, she was
able to get up and walk after having been bedfast for many months.

Gradually, she improved. After one year she felt “really better.”
And 12 years later, she reported to us that she was “normal;” she
was even able to play piano duets with her son and was riding
horseback — activities that would have been unthinkable after her
son’s birth in 1979.

Still more recently, in May 2001, we received a communication
from her father, which we quote: “Almost 20 years ago, the
Gerson Therapy brought our daughter, Susan Adams, out of
helpless bedridden [rheumatoid] arthritis back to a reasonably
normal life.”
