I could write a book on my journey, my battles and the Gerson protocol.
A HUGE part of the Gerson program is 13 eight ounce glasses of raw organic juice. The carrot-apple was (and still is) my all-time favorite. That amounts to about one glass of juice every waking hour. The rest of the program is all strict vegan meals but the 13 glasses of juice fill you up and they also give the body almost everything it needs.
After I left the hospital, I continued the Gerson program at home. They HIGHLY recommend a Norwalk or Champion juicer. I went with a Champion and a small hydraulic press. I highly recommend the Gerson program for anyone, from the most serious of cancers to wellness care and especially for those who wish to lose weight. And of course the other big part of the program is those lovely coffee enemas which btw do NOT cause electrolyte level imbalances despite all the bullshit erroneous claims. The basic principle of the Gerson program is to put good stuff in your body and get the bad shit out. You must do both. It is also based on balancing sodium and potassium levels inside the cells. It makes total sense to treat any and all diseases at the cellular level and they are no magic bullets.
The vegan diet is very strict (as it should be) and the downside is that it is very expensive. One week of treatment in their facilities is $5500. If you continue the program at home the price of organic vegetables is also very high. This is when I started going really big with my home garden. You also need a kitchen helper to prepare meals and make fresh juices every hour. You can't' do it yourself, I tried (and I was very sick at the time). For those with non-cancer problems they also have a Modified Gerson Protocol, which for you Mississipi-Hip may be an option. So yes, it's very pricey but what is your life worth?
So how did I pay for it all? Since I thought it was very possible I might be kicking the bucket, I put everything on credit cards (at the time I had incredible credit ratings) and I had some credit cards with $50k max. I maxed them all out figuring if I die who the fuck cares and if I live who the fuck cares. LOL. I sold my chiro building and my practice to pay off some of the debt but still had to file for bankruptcy. I was fortunate to be able to keep my land property as it's protected by Colorado homesteading laws.
Since I was told by MD's to get my shit in order and prepare to die, I did everything available that the Gerson program had to offer. I did B-17 injections which is Laetrile, a substance derived form peach pits and was proven to destroy tumors...and was quickly banned in the US by the corrupted cocksuckers called the FDA. I also did calf liver injections, ate raw organic cow pancreas and raw organic calves liver. Yum.
For anyone interested, there are two books available on the topic:
Books number 2 and 3 are the Gerson Bibles, IMO.

Heres my life savers, I bought both of them for about 500 bucks:
After I fully recovered, I met many people who had cancer. I told them my story and told them about the Gerson program. I strongly urged them to do the program. I was sadly disappointed that not ONE single person decided to do it but instead went the route of chemo, radiation and surgery. What a shame.
The Gerson Theapy is hardcore. There is no fucking around when it comes to battling illness and disease at the alternative level. The allopathic (aka modern medicine) approach has us all brainwashed in thinking that the doctors are going to give us a pill or a shot to make it all better. We have all been blindly led to believe that injecting poison into our bloodstream somehow makes us better and than massive X-ray doses (radiation) somehow kill the tumor and leave the other healthy tissues intact. The "Fix me, Doc" mentality is bullshit. Many people abuse their bodies for years and then expect a doctor to make them all better while they do absolutely nothing from a pro-active point of view. Or many folks expect healing "miracles" by doing some bogus "alternative program" by eating a few vitamins and doing a 3 -day detox while continuing their same old regimen of eating shit-food, smoking cigs, guzzling beer and partying hardy.
After speaking with many folks who battled cancers, I strongly believe that the enticing reason they chose chemo, rads and surgery was because these types of butchery are covered by insurance. The Gerson docs say that people who come to do their program (and have avoided surgery, rads and chemo) respond far better than the folks who have already undergone the medical route. This makes perfect sense as the allopathic treatments kill our immune system. The Gerson program BUILDS and jump-starts the immune system.
One note: I know there are people who have undergone conventional (aka allopathic) treatments, survived and are considered "in remission" or "cancer-free." But many of these people end up later with secondary cancers which are caused directly by the treatment they underwent. Also the medical standards of "cancer free and "five year survival" rates are completely bogus ( read up on it further if you wish). And IMO, many people are misdiagnosed as having cancers, undergo conventional treatments (even though they didn't have cancer) and are logged into the files of "cancer free." (one perfect example is the PSA blood tests which were supposedly indicative of prostate cancer) Now they have found out the PSA tests are not accurate. So how many people underwent conventional treatment for prostate cancer but never really had the disease and were later logged in as "survivors?" I call BULLSHIT! The only thing they REALLY survived was the AMA's butchery, their chemical poisonings and massive radiation exposure.
OK, that was my short version story and as always mixed with a bit of my rantings. I'd rather keep this thread on track and to further assist the Hip in finding solutions for his ailments.
