Throughout our lives our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and the most serious one is cancer causing pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medicines we take and the water we drink. As more of these poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy is an option to maintain our healthy.

The Gerson Therapy known as natural treatment uses to rid the body of toxins and boosts our body’s immune system. It involves coffee enemas and a special diet with supplements claimed to cleanse the body and stimulate metabolism. There is no scientific evidence that Gerson therapy is effective natural cancer cure. Nevertheless there are thousands of people who have improved their health with it.

The Gerson therapy was named after a German doctor, Dr. Max B. Gerson, who first used it to treat his migraine headaches. In the 1930′s, Dr. Gerson’s therapy became known to the public as a treatment for a type of tuberculosis (TB). Dr.Gerson expanded his method to treat other conditions and managed to publish a preliminary report of his results in treating cancer in the Review of Gastroenterology in 1945.

Cancer patients who apply this therapy are required to drink large amount of juices and eat organic fruits and vegetables. Meals are vegetarian, and prepared with non-aluminum utensils and cookware. No salt or spices are allowed.

Basically, the Gerson therapy is based on the concept that cancer develops when there are changes in cell metabolism because of the buildup of toxic substances in the body. According to Dr. Gerson, the disease process makes more toxins and the liver becomes overworked. Cancer patients have too much salt in their bodies compared to the amount of potassium.

The aim of the Gerson therapy is to restore the body to health by repairing the liver and returning the metabolism to its normal state. This can be done by removing toxins from the body and building up the immune system with diet and supplements. This is the reason why supplements such as vitamins and hormones are given by pill form and by injection. Enemas are also given to remove toxins from the body.

As mentioned previously, there is no scientific evidence that Gerson therapy is effective natural cancer cure. There is no strong evidence to prove that making drastic changes to diet help to kill cancer cells. Furthermore, this type of alternative cancer treatment can be very demanding and many people find it difficult to finish the regimen. So the advice for cancer patient is talk with health care providers about an appropriate diet to follow.
