The Gerson Therapy & Juicing

 Cancer is increasing with an alarming ratio because of today’s environmental pollution, chemical containing foods & beverages and increasing interference of technology in our daily routines. According to a research, 7.6 million people die from different types of cancers throughout the world every year. Out of these figures, 4 million people died between the age of 30 years to 70 years. Since its first patient, people tried to cure this deadly disease with different treatments.

One of these treatments is Gerson Therapy, which is first created by Dr Max Gerson in 1920s.The creation of this treatment was accidental because Dr Max was trying to develop a treatment for migraine but was able to cure skin cancer in one of his test subjects. This therapy was actually based on activation of humans body internal ability to heal itself with the help of organic, raw juices, vegetable diets, coffee enemas and other natural supplements.

Dr Max Gerson 1881 - 1959

Today, the Gerson therapy is a well-known natural therapy which is famous due to its successful treatments of not just chronic cancer (such as melanoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, lymphoma and other kinds) but also many other kinds of diseases such as degenerative diseases, heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes, auto-immune disorders & allergies because it is a non-specific treatment that can effectively treat many conditions by healing the body as a whole.

The idea behind this therapy is to provide all necessary means to repair human body and also helps it to flush out all toxins from body that are produced as a result of many diseases and complications. Different characteristics of juices & food used in this therapy helps human body to fight against and repair diseased tissues by providing required nutrients, enzymes and minerals to human body. 

The Gerson Therapy Elements

As I mentioned earlier that Gerson Therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body’s internal ability to heal itself with the help of organic, plants and fruits contained diets, raw juices, coffee enemas and other natural supplements. So the main elements of this therapy is

• Juices

• Gerson food

• Coffee enemas

• Supplements

• Oxygenation

Juices

In Gerson Therapy, human body requirements are supported by taking 15 to 20 pounds of organic grown fruits and vegetables on daily basis. Usually, 1 glass of this juice is taken after every hour up to 13 to 15 glasses of juices daily. Fresh extracted juices from raw fresh fruits and vegetables are the main source to fulfil nutritional needs of the human body in most effective manner because they are easy to digest and absorb by the body. Juices are made up of Carrot, apples and green leafed vegetables.

These juices are used fresh (within one hour of processing) in order to utilized maximum benefits from them. Also to extract juices, usually special kind of juicers like masticating juicers or two step juicers or juicers with hydrolic press is been used because they preserve all the nutrition’s within the juice and didn’t spoil any benefit of juices. Electrical blenders that are usually used in our homes blend juices to a certain level where nutrition’s of juices is destroyed due to heat or over grinding so they are not recommended for this purpose.

Gerson food

Full plants based meals, produced from fresh organically grown fruits, vegetables and whole grains is taken 3 times a day which is usually in the form of salads, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, soups etc. The traditional Gerson Therapy recommends consuming raw cooked beef liver since it is the most nutrient-dense food on this planet and extremely high in vitamin B12.

In addition to these, patients are allowed to take fresh fruits and vegetables any time during a day as a snack. Castor oil is usually taken to enhance liver's ability to filter blood.

Enemas

The therapy also consists of regular enemas that help the body to flush out the waste toxins that have accumulated due to pollution in the air , diet , water , alcohol or/and smoking. 


These enemas help the human liver and kidneys to stay healthy and to get rid of toxins. Patients undergoing this therapy might take up to 5 coffee enemas daily.

Supplements

All medications used in connection with the Gerson therapy should be biological, materials of organic origin & natural. The supplements used on the Gerson Therapy include,

• Thyroid
• Vitamin B-12
• Potassium
• Pancreatic Enzymes etc

Oxygenation

Oxygenation is usually made more than doubled in daily intake, as oxygen deficiency in the blood contributes to flourish many deadly diseases so its supply makes sure in this therapy. There are many different ways to do so which can be searched easily. 

There is no specific type mentioned in this therapy.

Limitations of Gerson Therapy

As Gerson Therapy is proven to be effective and cancer curing with many examples throughout many decades of its evolution, but there is no guarantee that it works for all patients due to many different contributing factors. Some of these factors are,

• Age of the patient
