It’s finally here! This Saturday I’ll be donning a fancy dress and drinking my carrot juice out of a wine glass. Why? Because the 16th of April marks exactly one year since I started the full Gerson Therapy! Oh, and it’s one of my best friend’s wedding, but mostly because of the former reason. If… Read More

The end is near, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, I’m on the home stretch – I’m nine months in with just nine to go. That’s piss easy, really. It’s just like a pregnancy, with a less painful main event. It feels a little surreal being this far into the Gerson program. At… Read More

  Dear diary, It’s been a while since we caught up. How’s the family? Ah, great. So it’s been six months since I first started the Gerson Therapy. Six down, 12 to go! This may seem like a long time to many of you, but time is going so fast. Plus, many of my fellow… Read More

I’m in my 12th week of the Gerson Therapy. 12 down, 65 to go! A few people have been asking me how things are going so far, so I thought I’d give you a quick update. I was going to have Tracey Grimshaw cover it on A Current Affair, but then I realised she probably… Read More

After three weeks, 273 juices, 105 enemas and 42 baked potatoes it is now time to say goodbye to the Gerson clinic and to all the amazing and inspiring people we’ve met. While I’m excited to go home (I miss my dog terribly) I’m also slightly nervous. I’m heading back to reality. Well, a new… Read More

The woman you see posing with me in the photograph above is 88 years old. She doesn’t wear glasses, she has no arthritis, she has no aches and pains, she doesn’t even have health insurance. Oh, and her skin is amazing! Her hands are almost as smooth as my own. This lady is Charotte Gerson… Read More

The Gerson clinic is not your regular hospital. Sure there are doctors and nurses looking after us and running tests and everyone is here because they have a serious illness, but that is where the similarities end. For instance, what kind of hospital includes soaking in a Jacuzzi as part of its treatment regime? Once… Read More

Today I had Gerson’s version of a tequila slammer – with some slight modifications. The tequila is replaced with two tablespoons of castor oil and instead of a lemon chaser we are given a cup of black coffee (the only time coffee is allowed here). The after effect was the same though, minus the few… Read More

A visit with the doctor, seven cups of juice, two coffee enemas, two bowls of soup and two plates full of salad and vegetables – this pretty much sums up my first half day at the Gerson clinic. We caught the train from LA to San Diego and then rode the Gerson bus across the… Read More

For almost two years I have been dabbling in the Gerson Therapy. I’ve been downing copious amounts of juice, cut almost every pleasurable morsel out of my diet, taking a pharmacy full of supplements and partaking in treatments I once considered to be completely unthinkable e.g. coffee enemas. I managed to stick to this regime… Read More
