Mary Harr ingtonMelanoma With Liver Metastasis

Mary was diag-

nosed with malignantmelanoma in Janu-

ary, 1996, at age 39.Her original tumor

was removed andshe was given 25

radiation treatmentsalong with four

months on the drugInterferon.

During the treat-

ments, it was discovered that the cancer hadspread to the liver. Her oncologist said that she

could possibly live up to nine months if sheresponded to the right type of chemotherapy.

Mary decided to go to the Gerson Clinic.

Her condition improved during the two weeks shespent at the hospital; she felt stronger, gained four

pounds and had a new positive attitude. She con-tinued the treatment at home and 10 months

later, in September 1997, her scan showed clear.

To this day, Marys oncologist refers to heras his amazing patient. Mary remains well 12

years later with no recurrence. Her story is on theDVD Dying To Have Known.

KilayaCir iel loChronic

Fatigue

For three years before beginning the

Gerson Therapy Kilaya experienced debilitatingfatigue, memory and concentration difficulties,

sore throat, tender lymph nodes, muscle/joint

pain, insomnia and many other symptoms. Hehad already been to a battery of doctors andhad tried other juicing/fasting programs. He

decided to research the theories of Dr. MaxGerson within the field of molecular and cellular

biology before starting the program.

From what he learned, he became con-vinced that the Gerson Therapy would work.

And it did. After nine months on the full programhe had not only recovered but had reached a

new level of physical, emotional and mentalhealth that he had never known before. He

credits the Gerson Therapy with providing alevel of contentment, calmness and strength

that he had never dreamed was even possible.

Gerson Recoveries

I rene StananaughtMelanoma

In 1996 Irene was diagnosed with stage III melanoma. Her health

continued to decline. After reading A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50Cases, she decided to do the Gerson Therapy. At first some of her family

members thought it was a foolish idea, but after seeing the results theycame to support Irene and the therapy completely.

In 1997, Irene visited the Gerson Clinic for two weeks. She did the

strict diet prescribed by Gerson doctors without wavering (13 juices perday and coffee enemas) for two-and-a-half years.

In June 2001 Irene revisited Gerson doctors for a check-up and all the tumor markers were

normal. A PET Scan showed her clear of any melanoma. Twelve years after beginning the TherapyIrene feels fine and still continues eating healthy and only organic food.

Mercedes LaPineCarcinoma

In 1970, Mercedes had a Pap smearwhich showed a malignancy: carcinoma in situ.

She had a hysterectomy. Her ovaries were leftintact, but one of them

showed a spot. Thecancer recurred

and metastasizedwithin a few years.

Despite much

advice to the con-trary, Mercedes

decided to fight hercancer the natural

way. She startedthe Gerson Therapy

as best she could onher own, and also tried several other therapies.

By 1979 she had not made much progress

so she came to the Gerson Clinic for an in-depthexperience of the Therapy. Mercedes recovered

and has remained in good health ever since as aresult of her commitment. She actively continues

her Naturopathic practice, teaching othersabout the benefits of natural healing.

Law rence KirkPancreatic Cancer

Lawrence wasdiagnosed with

pancreatic cancerin 1993. His doctor

told him that con-ventional therapies

would not help.

Lawrence begantreatment at theGerson Clinic in

December 1994.

After completing 20months of the Gerson Therapy, a CT scan found

no evidence of a tumor on his pancreas and allhis organs appeared normal. A subsequent CT

scan and MRI performed six years later confirmed

that Lawrence remained free of cancer.

Fifteen years after going to the Gerson

Clinic, Lawrence continues to feel great. Heenjoys gardening and playing with the grand-

children that he initially thought he mightnever see.

Ned WrightTesticular

Cancer

Today ,

when I thinkback to when

the doctor saidthat I had three

to six months tolive, it seems like

a distant night-mare. His words

struck me like a fist in the stomach. I wasgiven the proverbial cancer death

sentence.

Ned was diagnosed with testicularcancer in 1999 and he was treated with

surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Afterthe first two procedures, the cancer came

back within six months. After the chemo-therapy, which was a grueling experience,

the cancer was back after just one monthand was now in three areas of the liver.

The doctor provided him with another

option: a bone marrow transplant followedby a high dose of chemotherapy that offered

only a 20% survival rate.

Ned had studied so may other thera-pies that seemed to be magic bullet

attempts at curing cancer. He went to theGerson Clinic on April 3, 2001. The diet was

tough and time consuming but I followed itjust as the Gerson doctor had prescribed.

As you can see by my testimony, it is

2009 and I am alive by Gods grace and theGerson Therapy. I am now a Gerson person,

because of a little known mans passion forhealing.
