Who was Max Gerson and what did he discover over 80 years ago? His teachings, which his daughter continues to teach, are captured in this documentary, The Beautiful Truth, where a young 15 year old Alaskan boy is assigned to determine if his teachings were true or false.
I have heard about the Gerson Method for more than twenty years and the way I understand it is that it is a combination of natural approaches, such as diet and enemas, that have produced good results claiming cure rates with cancer and other diseases, for some. As I went through my own chronic illness, and saw the results of changing my nutrition, as well as seeing many studies today on the plant-based diet approach, I believe this concept is worth exploring and implementing.
With any claim, also comes controversy—as it probably should. To me, the bottom line is that each person should be able to choose their own path and find their own truth, being part of their own medical team. I personally believe that good nutrition is a part of the overall approach.
