MELANOMA IN GERSON THERAPY

Although Gerson Therapy is applicable to almost all types of cancer (see A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases, by Max Gerson, 1958, Whittier Books), its efficacy in treating melanoma is particularly impressive. In the Chapter 6 of the latest book "The Gerson Therapy" written by Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, 2001, Kensington Publishing Corporation, the authors presented the retrospective review of "Five-year survival rates of melanoma patients treated by diet therapy after the manner of Gerson: A retrospective review.", by Hildenbrand and others of the Gerson Institute and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the University of California in San Diego. The review revealed the following:

  • Stages I and II: 100% 5-year survival in Gerson Therapy vs 79% in the report by C.M. Balch, Cutaneous melanoma: prognosis and treatment results worldwide, Semin. Surg. Oncol., 8:400-414, 1992.
  • Stage IIIA (regional metastasized): 81% 5-year survival in Gerson Therapy vs 39% in the report by H. Drepper and others, The prognosis of patients with stage III melanoma: prospective long-term study of 286 patients of the Fachklinik Hornheide, Cancer, 71:1239-1246, 1993.
  • Stage IVA: 39% 5-year survival in Gerson Therapy vs 6% in the report by L. Ryan and others, Prognostic factors in metastatic melanoma, Cancer, 71: 2995-3005, 1993.

    There are also three testimonies in that chapter, among them Mrs. Daez Mintz had stage IV melanoma in June of 1993, a case far worse than the cases in the retrospective study, is leading a normal life now.

    52 "INCURABLES" CURED BY GERSON THERAPY

    Very recently, a viewer given up by the conventional medicine emailed me for help. I went to my old files and found a newsletter from Gerson Institute published in 1991. The newsletter featured 52 cases of "incurables" that were saved by the Gerson Therapy. I am posting a summary of the 52 cases here to encourage this viewer and other terminal patients to continue the fight and not to give up hope.

    Among the various alternative therapies for cancer, Gerson Therapy can be considered one of the earliest, if not the earliest, to use nutritional approach to treat cancer. The rate of success was recorded in the book "Cancer Therapy, Results of Fifty Cases" written by Dr. Max Gerson in 1958.

    Below were 52 cases of most dramatic among thousands of incurable cases that were cured by Gerson Therapy published in the Gerson Institute newsletter in the winter of 1991. They were mostly terminal cases given up by the conventional medicine before they were saved by the Gerson Therapy. They were alive and well when this newsletter was published. It is hoped that terminal patients given up by the conventional medicine who have the chance to view these cases will be encouraged to continue the fight and not to lose hope.

    Note: The first 2 letters are the initials of the first and last name, the third letter M denotes male (F denotes female), age is as of 1991, X years later indicates the patient was treated X years prior to 1991.
