Apparently, the Amercian Cancer Society does not agree with your suggestion.

"Available scientific evidence does not support claims that Gerson therapy is effective in treating cancer, and the principles behind it are not widely accepted by the scientific and medical communities. It is not approved for use in the United States. Gerson therapy can be dangerous. Coffee enemas have been associated with serious infections, dehydration, constipation, colitis (inflammation of the colon), electrolyte imbalances, and even death."

I don’t know if you were serious or not, but just so you know, I take them as seriously as I take Al Gore regarding Global Warming. I have zero respect for that orgainzation.

BTW, the movie, The Beautiful Truth (you can watch the whole thing on Youtube) is a real eye opener. Years after we saw the movie, we met our friend and she was in the middle of one of those “mexican quack” therepy’s that ended up working. It was the Gerson diet.

I feel as if we have been completely duped by an industry in a country where it costs roughly $850,000 to DIE of cancer.

BTW, I consider the ACA’s comments above to be libel. Have you ever read the side effect risks of many popular medications (including those for cancer)? They often span multiple pages and often include death as well.
