Well, maybe a little more than carrot juice. Check out my second post for the US health and wellness site, Mind Body Green. In this post I ramble on about what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer at 22 and what I’m doing to get one up on the disease.Conquering Cancer with Carrot… Read More

The Gerson Therapy eliminates a lot of foods from your diet, but it also states that you must eat certain foods each day. One of those is the special Hippocrates soup, which Gerson patients are instructed to eat twice a day – for lunch and dinner. Lucky for me it’s winter at the moment and… 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

http://www.nataliedee.com/ One would think that spending three weeks at a clinic where you feast on nothing but fat, salt and sugar-free food (which is then continually flushed out of your system with back-to-back coffee enemas) would cause one to slim down. Oh how wrong one would be. The food at the Gerson clinic may be… Read More

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
