Charlotte Gerson: A Legend in Her Own Time

If you have never heard of Charlotte Gerson or her father, Max Gerson and are interested in natural healing....read on.

Max Gerson was the pioneer of what has come to be called the Gerson Therapy. This therapy was revolutionary when he first came out with it back in the early 1930s and is just as controversial today. His belief, brought about by case studies and treatments, was that many diseases can be cured by diet; including cancer. In pre-war Germany, Dr. Gerson was persecuted because he was Jewish but it is unlikely that he would have been allowed to promote his Gerson Therapy anyway.

Why not?

Simply because that even then, the big pharmaceutical companies were gearing up to make obscene amounts of money by producing all manner of prescriptions drugs. The last thing these industry giants want is any talk of natural healing. What would that do to their empire, founded on often toxic drugs, if people found out that they could achieve much better results for their various health conditions naturally? Obviously, the pharmaceutical companies of Max Gerson's time, such as the I. G. Farben company, did not want this kind of information reaching the public. If that was so all those years ago, as it most certainly was, it is even more so today with the sheer volume of pharmaceutical sales internationally! These mega drug corporations will fight tooth and nail to defend their humongous profits!

Charlotte Gerson contracted Tuberculosis of the bone when she was 12 years old. At the time, this diagnosis amounted to a death sentence. She was healed by her father, Max Gerson, using his treatment of natural healing. Charlotte worked along side her father and when Max Gerson died in 1959, she vowed that his life's work would not die, too. In 1977, Charlotte Gerson founded the Gerson Institute with Norman Fritz, then president of the Cancer Control Society. She has fought the good fight all these years, against fierce opposition from the American Medical Society and other medical societies around the world, and has also valiantly battled the Big Pharmas.

What is the Gerson Therapy?

A brief and simplified explanation of the famous Gerson Therapy is that it is a safe, natural approach to helping the body heal itself through an organic, vegetarian diet coffee enemas, raw juices and natural supplements. This therapy is based on the idea that illness is a result of toxicity and nutritional deficiencies.

Here are some of the health conditions and diseases that have been treated successfully with the Gerson Therapy during the course of the past sixty or so years:

• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Cancer
• Auto Immune Disorders
• Arthritis
• And Many More

Thousands of people have followed the Gerson treatment with fantastic results and without costly, perhaps even toxic or deadly prescription drugs that often have horrific side effects! Just imagine the damage that would be done to the almighty drug industry if word of this natural treatment spread around the globe!

Charlotte Gerson, as a tireless advocate for detoxification and natural remedies to treat nutritional problems, kept her promise to her father not to let his work die and to spread the word about natural healing to help people live healthier, longer lives.

Contrast this to the drug industry, that makes a living out of dying.
