	GERSON THERAPY NUTRITION - Diet and cooking for cancer patients - Hawaii Gerson Therapy Retreat -
		Gerson also noted that when cancer patients were under treatment, they lose extra Na from the body in the urine, which implied that part of the process of recovery of the human body from cancer disease was replacement of excess Na by K in damaged tissues.
		Gerson made the general deduction that a major part of the reason for the observed success of low Na, high K diets in treatment of cancer was that they forced a correction of the generalized tissue damage, of which low tissue K and high tissue Na were a part.
		Therefore, treatment with the Gerson diet to increase tissue K+ concentration and to decrease tissue Na+ concentration is a logical therapy for the tissue damage syndrome in the cancer patient.

		A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and low in fat may well be the most effective alternative approach of all because it may help prevent certain cancers.
		The diet stresses the avoidance of dairy produce such as milk, cheese and yogurt, red meat, salt, sugar and caffeine and encourages the use of organically grown produce.
		Gerson claimed a 50% recovery rate with his diet, even with people who were terminally ill. There is no evidence at all to support this claim.

	ACS :: Gerson Therapy
		Gerson therapy is a form of alternative cancer treatment involving coffee enemas and a special diet with supplements claimed to cleanse the body, boost the immune system, and stimulate metabolism (see Metabolic Therapy).
		Gerson therapy is considered a metabolic therapy, and is based on the theory that disease is caused by the body's accumulation of toxic substances (see Metabolic Therapy).
		Other components of the Gerson regimen, such as consuming only fresh, raw juices prepared in a certain way, eliminating salt from the diet, and “detoxifying” the liver through coffee enemas and injected liver extracts, have very little scientific evidence to support their use against cancer.

		These diets may propose health benefits in treating cancer, but can pose a risk for inadequate nutrition or malnutrition in varying degrees, drug/nutrient interactions, increased fatigue, and alterations in laboratory parameters.
		Gerson advocated that the balance of sodium and potassium at a cellular level supports the regression of cancer and that, by returning to a basic diet, diseases like cancer could be overcome.
		The diet is heavily based on vegetarian raw foods and the avoidance of coffee, alcohol, refined sugars, flour, and all processed foods.

	Dr. Max Gerson Therapy For Cancer
		Gerson therapy is one of the metabolic therapies, using a special diet, plus supplements, and a coffee enema to cure terminal cases of cancer.
		Gerson was also well aware, even in the 1950s, of the importance of organic foods (because general farming practices left the plants without enough nutrients), such as carrots, and the damage done to foods by the way they were processed and packaged.
		Gerson twice mentioned that his "most drastic" mistake was giving a number of patients "opposite sex hormones," based on the recommendation of another doctor.

		Gerson was born in Germany in 1881 and immigrated to the United States in 1936.
		Gerson described five patients in clinical detail and submitted written case histories of those and five more patients who had been treated with his regimen, in whom he had observed improvements in "general body health" and, in some cases, tumor reduction.
		Gerson noted that if the liver was damaged (e.g., by cancer or cirrhosis) the patient had little chance of recovery on his or her treatment regimen (Gerson, 1949, 1986).

		After treatment at the Gerson hospital, patients are advised to continue the regimen at home for one and a half years or more, until the liver, pancreas, and oxidation, immune, and other systems have been restored sufficiently to prevent a recurrence of cancer.

		Gerson was attacked in the pages of JAMA, the association's prestigious journal, for treating cancer patients with diet and for warning against cigarettes.

	History of the Gerson Therapy by Patricia Spain Ward
		It was in 1928 that Gerson first used his diet in cancer, at the insistence of a woman who had jaundice, high fever and two small liver metastases after unsuccessful surgery for cancer of the bile duct (Gerson, 1958, 31).
		Gerson first encountered the idea of detoxication in cancer in the version of Hippocratic regimen which he read with his first cancer patient in Bielefeld in 1928 (Gerson, 1958, 404).
		Gerson also found that caffeine enemas greatly reduce pain, a particular boon in his regimen, which avoids the use of opiates and other painkilling drugs that might overtax the liver at a time when its limited capacity is needed for immune functions and for eliminating the toxic products of tumor breakdown.

	The Gerson Diet and coffee enemas Nutrition Forum - Find Articles
		The use of diets and coffee enemas to treat cancer is based on the teachings of Max Gerson, a German MD who practiced about 75 years ago when the biology of cancer was virtually unknown.
		Gerson's treatment requires patients to have a prolonged period of detoxification with coffee enemas and to adhere, for life if possible, to a diet of juices from raw fruits, vegetables, and calf liver, all produced without pesticides or fertilizers and prepared without sugar, starch, salt, or artificial coloring.
		Gerson has stated that for a patient to be healed," the patient's body must be detoxified.

	History of the Gerson Therapy
		For the next few decades (according to Gerson's account of the evolution of cancer concepts) there was a tendency to interpret cancer in terms of constitution and diathesis, as was done with diabetes, gout and tuberculosis.
		Gerson agreed, but in contrast to von Bergmann and most of his contemporaries, Gerson believed it was often possible for the physician to help restore the vital power of inflammation, even in anergic patients with advanced cancer.
		The JAMA editorial focused on Gerson, even though it was not Gerson but a lay witness, immune to AMA retaliation, who had called Gerson's successes "miracles" and urged the Senators to secure their future cancer commission against control by any existing medical organization (U.S. Congress, 1946, 96,97).
