Story

    At age 32, W. S. was a struggling young artist with a wife and three
small children. When he noted a mass in his abdomen, he was sent to
surgery in May 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The doctor reported "a cluster
of lymph glands, the largest measuring 5 cm (2 inches)." (3) He removed as
many as he could; afterwards, W. S. was given radiotherapy. A mere four
months later, in September, a new mass appeared and the patient
received more radiotherapy, which reduced the swollen glands. However,
a few months later, the trouble recurred and W. S. tried other treatments
since his doctors told him that he had only two months to live.

   When W. S. found out about the Gerson Therapy, he traveled to New
York to see Dr. Gerson (who reported on the case in his book, A Cancer
Therapy—Results of Fifty Cases, as Case #18). (4) After about eight months
on the Gerson program, W. S.'s condition improved dramatically, he
recovered his energy and was able to continue working as a church artist.
He did construction and decoration work, designed stained glass windows
and mounted an art exhibition in San Diego. In 1983, W. S. wrote:
"I am looking back on 33 years, eight children, 12 grandchildren and a
wonderful productive life." In 2006, aged 88, he appeared in Dying to
Have Known, Stephen Kroschel's Gerson documentary film, still functioning
well and working in his artist's studio with several of his children.
