Book Reviews of Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
Book Review: Be cautious and enjoy good health!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I just purchased this book and have been implementing it's ideas slowly. Which is a good thing, and I highly recommend that you do as well. Do not attempt to do everything all at once.
We thought my husband had a severe reaction to taking one 325mg capsule of Pancreatin (digestive enzymes: Protease, Amylase, and Lipase), this was his first time ever taking this supplement. However, he did not. It ended up only being the niacin flush. The niacin flush can behave much like an allergic reaction. We are very glad it was only the niacin. Although after some research online there have been many cases of people who are in fact allergic to Pancreatin!!! Unfortunately in the book it never says that this type of allergic reaction is a possibility. It only says that "Some patients cannot tolerate Pancreatin and have to do without it." If you are considering trying this plan for healing cancer, or simply for overall health (like us), then I highly recommend that you start adding things slowly (one at a time). Even as simple as adding foods you may have never had before. Just to make sure there are no allergies to these things.
Also be cautious with the enemas. Electrolytes can be thrown off balance quite easily with laxatives and enemas, etc. The body is very very strict about electrolyte balance. Also do remember that foods such as tomatoes are naturally higher in sodium (which are included in the "special soup" on the Gerson plan), so you will be getting sodium on this meal plan. It is very important to be getting all of the juices and potassium when doing the enemas. Check out wikipedia for more information on electrolyte homeostasis.
Also...be gentle when inserting the tube. If the tube is poking you and it is painful stop and try to reposition. This should not be painful. If you are feeling resistance stop, let some coffee go in, and then see if that helps let you ease it in the rest of the way.
If you are interested in what nutrients are found in your foods and the nutrients that are going to be found in the foods on this plan, you may want to look into this book "Nutrients in Food" by Elizabeth S. Hands. This book will give you detailed information on the sodium, potassium, protein, fat, etc. found in food. We have found it to be very helpful.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this book and plan to anyone wanting to detoxify and heal their bodies. Just going organic has made a world of difference. When we do the plan consistently/fully, we have more energy and we feel better than when we don't.
Bottom line... we feel great!
Best wishes on your health!!!
Summary of Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases
There is a split right down the middle of modern medicine. One half, boosted by dazzling high technology, shows brilliant results in handling acute diseases and emergencies. The other half, dealing with chronic degenerative conditions, is lagging behind, unable to offer more than symptomatic treatment for the most widespread distressing conditions ranging from cancer, heart disease and hypertension to diabetes, arthritis and morbid obesity. It is assumed that these and other "diseases of modern civilization" are both inevitable and incurable. Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases contradicts all such assumptions. As a complete guide to the theory and practice of the Gerson Therapy, developed over 80 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson, MD (1881-1959), it shows that the increasingly denatured, nutritionally empty, toxic modern diet is the main cause of today's worsening health crisis. This book offers the solution in the form of a brilliant, precision-built nutritional program that eliminates the underlying causes of disease, leading to lasting cures. This program is best known for its success in curing many types of cancer, but it also has an excellent track record with a large number of other degenerative conditions.Cancer Books
