The
following is my selective notes on the 3-hour video above by Charlotte Gerson,
daughter of the founder of the Gerson Therapy, Max Gerson.
She begins by referring to her father's achievements of having cured 50
terminal cancer patients with the Gerson
Therapy. So be advised that her description of the juicing
detox treatment applies to terminally ill cancer patients and not healthy
patients.
At the 17:25 mark, Charlotte Gerson explains that the main benefit from
drinking water is to flush out toxins and to dilute the stomach acids like
hydrochloric acid. She explains that for terminally ill patients they
should be drinking juices instead of water. Juice, she says, does not
dilute the acid but rather it helps produce stomach acid. Why is this
important?
Don't drink water if you use the Gerson Therapy. Then she qualifies her
statement, saying "If you do use water, make sure it's distilled
water." Distilled water does not leach minerals out of the
system. She says that the water often has organic compounds and minerals
in it that we don't want. She says that what you want are inorganic
compounds found in juice so that nutrients can be properly lodged in the bone.
Here are her recommendations for the Gerson Therapy, not in the operational
order or even order of importance:
Coffee enemas.
Certain soups.
Herbal teas.
Water has to be clean. Other problem, if
you're water is fluoridated, you can't even bathe in it. Use distilled
water or reverse osmosis water and do a sponge bath. Once a week do a
shower. You mustn't put new poisons in your body. It's toxic
already and deficient.
Chronic degenerative disease, the liver is defenseless and weakened. With
cancer is further advanced damaged. In cancer, the liver is toxic.
It's poisoned. It becomes more and more important that new toxins are not
allowed in the body. It's not easy. It's tough. Can't
swim. Pools are filled with chlorine. Even the ocean. Salt
changes the biochemistry of the body. The potassium is the key mineral,
not salt. For flavor, we add salt, salt, salt, and our bodies create a
whole biochemistry that damages our cells. The body operates on an
approved set of potassium. We lose potassium in our cooking and food
processing. Sodium into the body binds with water. "Sodium is
poison!!" she says.
A book called Enzymes. Activating substances of enzymes was
potassium. The catalyst was potassium. The inhibiting substance,
the defeating substance was sodium. Salt. The definition of poison
is enzyme inhibitor. Sodium was an enzyme inhibitor.
How does the oxygen go to every cell in your body?
Is Gerson Therapy enzyme therapy?
Liver filters blood. Enzymes do that.
Tumors require salt? She was raised without salt? never eat
anything with salt added. salt is needed for tumor growth. Salt
penetrates the tissues after the body loses its capability of getting rid of
it. Salt is an excess fat, sodium and animal proteins. She asks the
question, "Without salt, where do we get the flavor?"
Your saliva has salt. The more salt you eat, your saliva becomes
saltier.
Peppermint teas help digestion, camomile tea helps with insomnia, Pau D'Aarco tea,
but no black tea. Not the tea you're used to, which has fluoride in it.
The thyroid needs iodine. Fluoride is a halogen; these destroy your immune system.
Fluoride can displace chlorine. Fluoride increases cancer. It
destroys the health of the thyroid. Same with Chlorine, which displaces
iodine. Can't heal once the fluoride continues to be active, because you
can't restore the metabolism.
No Epsom Salts! No way! Wow!
13oz of 8 glasses each means there is no need for dehydration.
No mineral water because of the salt.
Spring water? Maybe. But if there are calcium and fluoride, then
fine.
Distilled water by making it.
OIL
Precaution
is not unlike that of salt. Adding fat caused the tumor to regrow.
Any oil made tumors to regrow.
Don't use any fats or any oils.
Flaxseed oil was beneficial. The improved oxygen-carrying capacity of the
blood.
2 tablespoons of flaxseed, or 15 milliliters,
and that did what . . . ? Buy it in a dark, glass bottle.
Closed. And cold. Use it and put it into the fridge. She recommends
Omega organic that comes in a black, plastic bottle. It's manufactured in
an oxygen-free environment. 4 to 6 bottles and keep them in the freezer
for 6 months. In the fridge for 3 months. 2 tablespoons a
day. Great value to the rest of the family.
Oils and fats tend to help tumor growth.
This is shocking! She says that once you have cancer that you cannot have
oils. None. She says that flaxseed is the one exception.
Okay. Do not use it with a protein because protein has other problems.
Another advantage of black seed oil.
Beta carotene and carrot juice is an effective
cancer treatment. Flaxseed oil combined with carrots and beta carotene is
a powerful combination.
If you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your
skin.
She recommends glycerin for the skin because of
the triglycerides. I do not get this.
Castor oil?
FOODS TO AVOID
Bottled,
canned foods, salted foods. Processed foods. Alcohol.
Avocado. Too much oil.
Berries are forbidden. Why? Some
people are allergic to berries and high in aromatics.
Toothpaste and gargle with bicarbonate.
Fluoride is lethal. It increases cancer and death. Use distilled
water. Don't use any toothpaste. Cake, candy, chocolate,
cocoa. Coffee. Cream, cucumbers (not high in sodium, but they don't
agree with juices). Cucumbers cause indigestion. Epsom salt is
forbidden. Fats.
WHEAT
White flour,
wheat flour, whole wheat flour. Wheat is so depleted today. Only
has 4 to 5% protein. It used to have 45 to 50% protein. Hair dyes
and permanents.
SHAMPOOS
Careful with
shampoos. Wash hair once a week.
MUSHROOMS
Mushrooms--too
much L-Arginine. Too much L-Lysine. Ice Cream.
Nicotine. Nuts because of the oils. Seeds. Eat fresh living
things. Seeds are dormant. Seeds change completely when they're in
a human environment. Dried foods are turned around proteins. Nature
endows them with an enzyme inhibitor. Pineapple. High in
aromatics. It can burn your tongue. Lithium chloride is second
under salt on the Periodic Table.
SUGAR
White
sugar. Why specify this? A little bit of sweetener is
okay.
LIVER
The liver is
toxic in a cancer patient. The liver has to store half a pound
overnight. The body needs sugar to work overnight while you're
sleeping. Raw brown sugar. Sucanat.
All the iron, enzymes, and or organic honey, maple syrup, or blackstrap
molasses. With exception. Hypoglycemia? No.
Diabetes? No.
ENZYMES
Enzymes
don't allow tumors to grow. Forbidden is black tea consumed in the
UK. Water is forbidden. Reasons tried, and tested. The only
thing that matters are the results in the sick bed.
Gerson cured 90% of the terminal patients that
came to him.
WHAT
ABOUT SOY?
Soy is
poison. High in salt. Forbidden.
HAIR DYE?
Henna.
WHAT
ABOUT GREEN TEA?
It contains
caffeine. Caffeine is no good for cancer patients.
BANANAS?
Bananas are
not very digestible. Organic banana? Okay. But eat only
one. Apples are vastly superior to bananas.
SPICES
Certain
spices are permitted. Spices must be used sparingly. Temporarily forbidden foods are fish, milk
products, eggs, cheese; these stimulate tumor growth.
USE THESE SPICES SPARINGLY!!!
Allspice
Rosemary
Anise
Bay
Dill
Marjoram
Thyme
Coriander
Fennel
Mace is another name for nutmeg.
Sage
Saffron
Tarragon
SMALL AMOUNTS
Pepper
Oregano
Basil
THESE ARE TOO HIGH IN AROMATICS
Onions,
garlic can make Flavor and provide health benefits. parsley, chives, celery,
tomatoes are valuable and can make flavor and be added to foods in unlimited
quantity.
THE RELIANCE UPON JUICE
First, the patient is severely depleted. A terminal patient has real trouble
eating. How are you going to put the food into them? Pills don't
work. They can drink juice. Fresh living active enzymes, minerals
and vitamins. 13 glasses of juice per day. 20 pounds of fresh food
a day. She says that the juice has to be fresh. It cannot be a
thing where you make juice in the morning and it lasts all day. It has to
be freshly squeezed juice. A fresh glass of juice every hour. It is
work intensive with a cancer patient. If you make one large batch in the
morning, the enzymes get lost through storage. You lose the activity in
the juiced food.
Carrot apple with liver capsules. Liver
with pure carrot juice helps activate the immune system.
4 glasses of juice made from greens. Not
from wheatgrass juice; wheatgrass causes serious digestion problems.
Green leaf juice. Watercress. One medium apple in the green
juice. Provides pectin. Makes juice digestible. As opposed to
highly indigestible wheat juice. Healing reactions--the flare-ups.
When drinking the juice, one should not shove
it down the throat or throw it down the throat, but you should let it sit
briefly in your mouth to let the enzymes in your mouth pre-digest the
juice. Drinking juice from a straw bypasses this pre-digestion. You
want micro-digestion and pre-digestion.
There is another way of digesting juice.
Rectal absorption.
Okay. So the Gerson Therapy requires 2
steps. Step 1: Juice. Step 2: Enemas. The enemas are
necessary because you will overwhelm the liver from the detox if you don't do
enemas. Enemas help the liver. Can't just push more poisons to the
liver and then not do enemas. Half a therapy, she says, is outright
dangerous. Dr. Max Gerson had patients who died of liver coma because the
patients didn't want to do enemas. They were okay with the juicing but
not the enemas. The result was that they died from a liver coma.
That's how Charlotte Gerson puts it.
Acids from the apple help to extract more
minerals from the carrots. And you get a better juice. This has
been tested. Grind first then press. She recommends a Champion Press versus the Green
Power. Plain centrifugal machines don't work.
The Norwalk
Juicer is the best she says. It's $2000.
MENUS
& COOKED FOODS
The reason
she recommends vegetarian proteins is because you can absorb them better than
animal proteins. Hmm. Sounds good. Sounds right. But I
would need to verify that. From experience that rings true, but does the
digestibility of vegetables outweigh the quality of protein that you get from
an egg or steak? I understand that this talk is directed to terminal
patients, so in that light, her statement may be spot on. But what about
healthy people? Do these statements hold true for them?
She points out that a baked potato has 2.4
grams of protein, whereas mother's milk has 2.9 grams of protein.
ENEMAS
She points
out straight away that it is dangerous to do the Gerson Therapy without
enemas. The toxins leaching from the organs will find their way to
the
The brain
consumes 2/5 of the oxygen from your body. That's a lot of oxygen
consumption by a single organ.
Interesting
was her point that tumors break up from the therapy and break up into the
bloodstream and eliminated by the liver. But then she uses the word
"absorb," that the body absorbs the tumor tissue that is breaking
up. Some folks need additional detoxification.
Mindbodygreen.com lists some very
interesting benefits from coffee enemas:
10
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TRY A COFFEE ENEMA
1. Reduces
levels of toxicity by up to 600%.
2. Cleans
and heals the colon, improving peristalsis.
3. Increases
energy levels and improves mental clarity and mood.
4. Helps
with depression, bad moods, and sluggishness.
5. Helps
eliminate parasites and candida.
6. Improves
digestion, bile flow, eases bloating.
7. Detoxifies
the liver and helps repair the liver.
8. Can
help heal chronic health conditions (along with following a mainly raw plant
based diet).
9. Helps
ease "die-off" or detox reactions during periods of fasting or juice
fasting, cleansing or healing.
10. Used regularly in the Gerson Institute
treatment protocol for healing cancer patients naturally
Even if
you're sensitive to caffeine, it won't affect you taking your coffee this way.
(Definitely, do not attempt to use decaf coffee though, you won't get the
benefits.) By taking it orally, the coffee goes through your digestive
system and stomach acids, which nullify any benefits you'd get if you took your
coffee via the portal vein to the liver!
Coffee
enemas bring people out of comas.
Detox and
flood the body with nutrients.
Chemo leaves
poisons in the system, which are difficult to overcome. Chemo was not
used in the 1920s. With the chemo, the body is usually able to eliminate
45% of the toxins. But where does the rest of the chemical poisons
go? Tumor tissue grows rapidly. It grabs everything--good and
bad. Original chemo was made from mustard gas?!
Hydrogen
peroxide is an effective treatment for drying up boils on the skin.
Reduce the
therapy. Never give anyone castor oil when they've had
chemotherapy. Castor oil is extremely valuable for non-chemo
patients. You need at least 1/3 of your liver to survive.
