Gerson Therapy

Gerson Therapy is an alternative dietary treatment that activates the body's ability to heal itself through a plant-based diet, natural supplements, raw juices and coffee enemas.

This diet was conceived by Max Gerson, a German doctor who assured that with it it is possible to detoxify the body and heal cancer, as well as other degenerative diseases, in the belief that they all derive from two causes: toxicity and nutritional deficiency.

What is Gerson Therapy?

This is an alternative therapy developed in the 1930s that helps activate the body's ability to heal itself and therefore treats a lot of ailments, such as arthritis, allergies, heart disease, cancer and other degenerative diseases.

Gerson Therapy includes a diet that provides a large amount of organic juices that provide the body with essential nutritional elements . These substances are what manage to break down and regenerate diseased tissue, while coffee enemas eliminate toxins from the liver.

As part of the diet, the patient should consume approximately 800 grams of organic fruits and vegetables . Most of them are used to make juices that should be drunk approximately every 1 hour, 13 times a day.

The solid foods that constitute this diet, raw and cooked, are consumed generously. The metabolism is also stimulated by adding nutritional supplements, animal fats and other toxins are reduced and oxygenation is increased, as this deficit is considered one of the causes of degenerative diseases.

Through this healthy diet the body is detoxified, the available oxygen is increased, the liver is regenerated and the immune system is strengthened, which causes the body's cells to recover.

Elements and contraindications of Gerson Therapy

The 4 elements used in Gerson's therapy are:

  • Fruit juices : 13 glasses of organic fruit juices per day are drunk.
  • Organic meals : 3 full daily meals are consumed based on organic plants, vegetables and fruits and whole grains. Fruit and vegetable snacks can be eaten during the rest of the day.
  • Supplements : various natural supplements are consumed, including Vitamin B12, Potassium Compound, Lugol Solution, Pancreatic Enzymes and Thyroid Hormone, among others. Castor oil is also used to improve liver function at the time of filtering the blood and promoting the flow of bile.
  • Coffee enemas: Coffee enemas are used to detoxify blood and tissues. Cancer patients can take up to 5 enemas a day.

The reason for the use of coffee enemas is that the combined effect of all the elements plus this cleansing stimulates the immune system to eliminate toxins accumulated in the tissues and also the tumor tissue.

Gerson Therapy has some contraindications . It is not recommended in patients with diabetes and cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Nor in cases of severe kidney damage, brain metastases and those who have foreign bodies inside their body, such as steel plates, breast implants or pacemakers.

Be that as it may, if you want to try it, you are in your right and there are many people who claim that it has been very beneficial. Finally, it is still a fairly healthy diet in which everything that the body needs to be in a healthy state is consumed.
