 Gerson
Therapy is a nutrition-based natural health and healing
therapy developed by German-born physician Dr. Max Gerson (1881-1959);
believers in the therapy say it is effective for most chronic (degenerative)
diseases.
Supporters say that the therapy is based on hyperalimentation,
enzymes and detoxification, with some vitamin, mineral and biological
supplementation. Gerson's belief is that toxic chemicals in the
environment poison humans. He says denatured food grown on depleted
soil, poisoned with pesticides, highly processed, and preserved
with hundreds of dangerous chemicals causes disease. Reversal of
the diseases calls for the elimination of the disease-causing conditions,
and rebuilding of the damaged organism over the course of 6-18 months.
These supporters fail to explain what (if anything) the terms "hyperalimentation",
"detoxification", "toxic", "denatured",
"depleted", or "rebuilding" mean in this context.
No evidence has ever been presented as to the existence of these
supposed toxins, or that they cause any disease.
Hyperalimentation is supposedly accomplished through the consumption
of 13 eight-ounce glasses of fresh, organic juices daily, supplemented
by three large, organic, vegan meals, and numerous fruit and vegetable
snacks throughout the day.
Gerson believed that the reversal of the natural sodium-potassium
balance in the body had to be corrected before chronic disease could
be healed, hence the low-sodium, high potassium nature of the diet.
In fact this supposed correction is provably harmful, sometimes
even fatal. All foods had to be fresh and organically grown, nothing
could be processed, preserved, canned, bottled, boxed, frozen. The
diet is salt-free, and avoids all supposed sources of "toxicity",
including tobacco, alcohol, fluoride, pesticides, food chemicals
and all pharmaceuticals.
