THE GERSON DIET
"... is naturally high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, micro-nutrients, extremely low in sodium and fats, and rich in fluids.
The following is a typical daily diet for a Gerson patient on the full therapy regimen:
- thirteen (13) glasses of fresh, raw carrot/apple and green-leaf juices prepared hourly from fresh,
- organic fruits and vegetables.
- three full vegetarian meals, freshly prepared from organically grown fruits, vegetables and whole
- grains. A typical meal will include salad, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, vegetable soup and juice.
- fresh fruit and fresh fruit dessert available at all hours for snacking, in addition to the regular diet.
GERSON MEDICATIONS
...used in connection with the Gerson Therapy are classed as biologicals, materials of organic origin that are supplied in therapeutic amounts.
- Potassium compound
- Lugol's solution
- Vitamin B-12
- Thyroid hormone
- Injectable Crude Liver Extract
- Pancreatic Enzymes
- Enemas of coffee and/or chamomile
A very important part of the Gerson Therapy is frequent detoxification of the tissues and blood. This is accomplished through a variety of means, first and foremost through the use of coffee enemas.
The scientific basis for the use of coffee enemas is well documented, and can be obtained from the Gerson Institute. Patients report that the enemas decrease pain and hasten healing. Biologically, enzyme systems of the gut wall and liver are stimulated, and bile flow is increased. This has been shown to enhance the body's ability to eliminate toxic residues from environmental, chemotherapeutic, and other sources.
Tumor and other diseased tissue is also more rapidly eliminated as it is broken down.
Other means of detoxification include castor oil, used as an additional stimulant of bile flow and as another way to enhance the liver's ability to filter blood. In addition, digestive enzymes serve to enhance absorption of nutrients as well as assist in the elimination of damaged tissue."
