It’s a Crying Shame...

...that a loved one with cancer has to face
chemotherapy, radiation, or even surgery without ever
knowing there’s a proven alternative therapy out there that has a
65-year record of success with thousands of fully-recovered patients.

No cure for cancer? Then why have thousands of patients on the Gerson Therapy passed the 5-year mark for a “cure?” How is it possible many are still alive and well after receiving treatment more than 50 years ago?

Learn what these people discovered. Read success story after success story of people just like you seeking information about alternative cancer treatments who found the Gerson Therapy®.

All the vital information you need is here in this remarkable book – when the therapy was discovered, how the therapy works, why your body starts the recovery process so quickly, why liver detoxification is the missing link, recipes and detailed how-to, doctor and patient success stories, patient testimonials, and much more – has been brought together in this single volume, Healing The Gerson Way – Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases by Charlotte Gerson with Beatta Bishop.

The Gerson Therapy has over 80 years of proven success with heart disease, emphysema, drug addiction, alcoholism, psoriasis, arthritis and many more chronic/degenerative diseases and over 60 years of successful cancer treatment.

Doctors and the medical establishment have been telling us for years that these often life-threatening diseases are “incurable.” The only way to treat them is with harmful drugs, radiation, or invasive surgery - methods that so often only serve to make the patient's condition worse - or at the very least have serious side effects with consequences as severe as the disease they are designed to treat.

Now you can have all the benefits of this therapy in your own home. When you purchase Healing The Gerson Way – Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases you will have at your fingertips all of the life-saving methods used in Gerson clinics around the world for more than 40 years.

This book will show you:

  • How to conquer cancer by changing your body chemistry;
  • How to strengthen your immune system and at the same time vastly improve your cardiovascular health;
  • How to detoxify your liver (note: this is the missing link to recovery and perfecthealth);
  • How to eliminate fatigue and weakness;
  • How to prepare delicious, super-healthy, Gerson-approved recipes (over 70 pages of recipes included are in this book);
  • Juicing techniques to get the maximum benefit from organic fruits and vegetables;
  • How to slim down naturally, without cravings or hunger pangs;
  • And much, much more.


"When I discovered the Gerson Therapy, it became the most stunning, life-changing event of my life. I wouldn’t trade this knowledge for all the gold in Alaska." - Stephen Kroschel, Alaska, Film Producer/Naturalist



Dr. Gerson and His Most Famous Patient

Dr. Max Gerson was a German Jew who lost seven siblings in the Holocaust. When he fled to America to escape Nazi persecution, he faced another kind of "holocaust" when his proven methods of treatment for cancer and other diseases were rejected by the conventional medical establishment.

The eminent medical missionary and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, praised Dr. Max Gerson as “one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine.” Dr. Gerson successfully treated Schweitzer’s wife for tuberculosis after conventional treatments had failed, and Schweitzer himself was cured of diabetes by following Dr. Gerson's therapy. Schweitzer followed Dr. Gerson’s career as his dietary methods were successfully applied to heart disease, kidney failure, and finally – cancer.

When Max Gerson died in 1959, his daughter, Charlotte, vowed his work would not die with him. With funds in short supply and opposition by such powerful forces as the drug companies and the American Medical Association, it would have proved a daunting task for one without Charlotte’s determination. She has never wavered in her dedication to her father’s work and has trained her children, Howard Straus, now 63, and Margaret Dego, 59, to carry on after her, as Dr. Gerson trained her.

In her ground-breaking new book, Charlotte Gerson tells you how you can use the body’s natural ability to heal itself with the powerful healing effects of organic fruits and vegetables.

But Healing The Gerson Way – Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases, will show you more than cures for disease. From this remarkable book you'll learn how to get healthy and stay healthy. By learning to put the right foods in your body in the right quantities, you'll see an astounding difference in the way you feel. You'll have more energy, feel more alive, keep your mind sharp and focused, and maintain a healthy weight. Your blood pressure and cholesterol level will normalize, even if they have been too high for years. And, you'll look and feel 20 years younger and be able to keep up with your children and grandchildren.

Why the Medical Establishment and the Drug Companies Don’t
Want You to Know About the Gerson Therapy

As crass as it sounds, there’s probably truth to the statement that more people live off cancer than die from it.

Traditional medicine is ruled by profit. The industry is so powerful that many physicians are afraid to challenge the current “standard of care,” even when evidence right before their eyes tells them it's not the best way. It’s not unusual to find doctors who would not take certain drugs themselves and they certainly wouldn't give them to their own families and loved ones, yet these same doctors routinely prescribe them to patients. The same goes for such practices as invasive surgery, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy.

Since the Gerson method is less expensive and much more effective, the medical industry knows their profits would be threatened if the Gerson Therapy were to become widely known and practiced.

How much do doctors know about treating disease? Maybe not as much as you have been led to believe. How often is a physician’s advice based on what is most profitable for him? How often is a doctor's choice of a prescribed drug or treatment protocol the result of influence by drug company sales people, who call on them regularly peddling the latest “breakthroughs” in medical technology?

Just how much influence do drug companies and medical equipment manufacturers have in determining which types of treatments should be used? You undoubtedly would be shocked to find out, but the following will give you a clue.


"I know that God inspired Dr. Gerson to bring this natural way of healing to the world. Dr. Gerson endured a lot of opposition in his day and opposition continues today. The Gerson Therapy is the true way of healing and the true way to maintain health. Truth always prevails. Dr. Gerson’s work is going forward and nothing will stop it." - Sandra Hanson, California, Cancer Survivor



Business Week Exposes “Medical Guesswork”

An article in Business Week magazine, May 29, 2006, titled “Medical Guesswork” makes a startling claim: “Even today, with a high-tech health care system that costs the nation $2 trillion a year, there is little or no evidence that the practice of medicine is not more guesswork than science.” The claim is backed by Dr. David Eddy, a physician and health policy analyst at Duke University, who says: “The problem is that we don’t know what we are doing.”

Other physicians quoted in the same article say,

“Clearly there is a lot in medicine we don’t have definitive answers to.” Dr. Stephen C. Schoenbaum, former president of Pilgrim Health Care, Inc.

“Because there are no definitive answers, you are at the whim of where you are and who you talk to. There is no question that the economic interests of the physician enter into the decision.” Dr. Gary M. Kirsch, The Urology Group, Cincinnati.

“How is a poor patient to decide? There really isn’t good evidence to suggest that one treatment is better than another.” Dr. Eric Klein, Cleveland Clinic.

It's been said that “you can’t argue with success,” but many in the medical establishment have been doing just that for years. Doctor's are commonly known to argue for a failed drug or therapy years after it has been shown to be totally ineffective or even life threatening. You only need to watch to news to know this sad truth.

The Gerson Therapy has a decades-long success record that nothing in conventional medicine can match, yet even today most physicians still argue that their way is the best. Even with hundreds of sworn, witnessed, and medically documented testimonials such as the ones you see here, we are still being told it doesn’t work.

Medical Professionals Praise the Gerson Therapy

Fortunately, although the great majority of physicians refuse to endorse the Gerson Therapy for fear of jeopardizing their livelihoods, there are others who openly recognize the Gerson Therapy as one whose time has come and see it as a viable alternative to conventional methods of treatment.

Here's what some of America's most respected medical professionals have to say:

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at Cornell University, says, "I know something about the Gerson Clinic, specifically with respect to melanoma. If I or a member of my family were diagnosed with cancer, I would not go the route of using drugs. Instead I would use totally a plant-based diet, maybe enrich it with some other materials that are particularly rich in the good qualities of plant-based foods, and make sure to get enough water, exercise, and sunshine."

Dr. Carolyn Dean, author of Death by Modern Medicine, used peer reviewed journals and government databases to find that 784,000 people annually are dying prematurely due to modern medicine. "I see the Gerson Therapy," she says, "as the antidote to our chemically-damaged bodies and environment."

Dr. Andrew Saul, author of Doctor Yourself and Fire Your Doctor, doubts that the medical-pharmaceutical industry even wants to find a cure for cancer, since there is so much profit in the disease. He believes that if physicians were permitted to practice the Gerson Therapy in the United States, as they should be, the fatality rate from cancer would go down by at least 50%. "It's all based on nature," he says of the Gerson Therapy. "It's all based on common sense . . . on nutrition, detoxification, and metabolic therapy. It makes so much sense that it doesn't make very many dollars."

Dr. Bob Childree, a Georgia dentist, says, "The amazing cures achieved by Dr. Max Gerson are available today, but without the approval of the American Medical Association. And not paid for by insurance companies. Well, if you want yourself or your loved one to get well, pay for it yourself. I estimate that your co-payment for the standard treatment for cancer is actually higher than the cost of the Gerson treatment anyhow."

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn is a surgeon and coronary specialist at Ohio's famed Cleveland Clinic. He feels that with plant-based nutrition, which is the basis of the Gerson diet, coronary artery heart disease need never exist. His findings, proven by extensive research, have been met with complete denial by his peers.


On September 13th, 2006, the Gerson Institute received the following e-mail:

“I’m a 45 year old stage 4 Breast Cancer patient, with metastases to liver and bones. In January 2004, I was diagnosed at the Loma Linda University Medical Center with stage IV breast cancer. My liver was so covered in tumors that it was shutting down. My skin was completely yellow, even my eyes were yellow.

“I didn’t know any better, so I began chemo treatments at once. My oncologist said, with treatment, we could hope for a year; however he said my condition was so advanced that he wasn’t sure I would make it for two months. That is when I went in search of other options, and stumbled upon Max Gerson’s method. I figured I had nothing to lose. Liver metastases from breast cancer has a very poor survival rate with traditional medical treatment. Fewer than 1% survive past two years.

“I celebrated my two year anniversary of being diagnosed with breast cancer with metastases by skiing in Telluride, CO, one of the steepest mountains in the U.S.

“Well, I am still here, and just had a pet/ct scan to check my status. I’m getting close to three years now. Things are better than ever! My liver is fully functioning! Nothing in my bones! Nothing to treat! I'm walking on air!!!

“So for me, the only proof that counts is how well I am doing and I know that lifestyle changes have had an enormous impact on my health.”
- Esther Butler, Colorado, Cancer Survivor



Word of the Gerson Therapy is Spreading Throughout the World

While the medical establishment in the United States works hard to keep Gerson clinics out of the country, forward-looking physicians in other parts of the world give them their whole-hearted endorsement. A Gerson clinic is now legal and available in Mexico, and one is scheduled to begin operating near Marbella, Spain, in 2007.

At the Loma Linda Clinic in Fukushima, Japan, a precedent was set when one of the doctors, Prof. Yoshihiko Hoshino, developed cancer and by accident found Dr. Gerson's book. "When I learned I had colon cancer," he says, "I switched to the Gerson Therapy and continued it for 16 years. The metastasized liver cancer disappeared."

In nearby Tokyo, Dr. Takaho Wataya, one of the most eminent and respected physicians in Japan, learned of Dr. Hoshino's success. He decided to implement the therapy on his own patients at the prestigious, state-of-the-art Toritsu Ohtsuka Hospital. "I am very much surprised at the results," he says. "Magnificent! Magnificent!"

Dr. Wilko van der Vegt, a Dutch physician, has been treating his patients with Gerson's successfully for 14 years. He began when his uncle in Switzerland had a tumor on his right shoulder that literally melted away with the therapy. "I would say 75% of my patients react favorably on the Gerson Therapy," he says.

In 1934 at Age 12 Charlotte Gerson Became a Believer
and Has Never Stopped Spreading the Word

Charlotte Gerson, the youngest daughter of Max Gerson, was an assistant for her father in his work on an almost continuous basis. She, herself, was one of Dr. Gerson’s early patients, when, at the age of twelve, she came down with bone tuberculosis.

Before the availability of powerful antibiotics, bone tuberculosis could be a death sentence. Max immediately put his daughter on the dietary therapy. This occurred in 1934, when her family was living in Vienna. Since she was in the habit of eating healthy foods, the treatment took effect rapidly and she was soon well again. And, now, Charlotte Gerson is Dr. Max’s longest-lived patient.

Charlotte has dedicated her life to spreading the word about her father’s amazing medical discoveries anywhere and everywhere she can. She’s lectured all over the world and has been, and continues to be, a guest on radio and TV shows.

With an associate in 1977, she supervised the establishment of the first Gerson Therapy hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. Her specific goal then, as it is now, was applying and teaching the Gerson Therapy to everyone interested in surviving life-threatening diseases.

Charlotte Gerson is a true reflection of her father’s medical philosophy. In March, 2007 she celebrated her 85th birthday in San Diego. Well wishers and former patients came from form all over the country, with some coming from as far away as Europe and Asia!
