Blood Work Update
We just saw Dr Cervantes for Laura’s final blood work review at the Gerson Clinic. Her LDH (lactic dehydrogenase), which had been coming down steadily (Dr Cervantes said this was a good sign), has just shot up higher than it was when she arrived. It’s now 300. Normal is below 176. A couple of the…
Our Last Day
Laura- I’m scared about going home tomorrow to do the therapy. It’s been very restful at the Gerson Clinic. Everything here is taken care of and now we will have to organize all this on our own. I’ve formed strong bonds with the other patients. When your life is at stake, it brings you closer…
How Not To Do An Enema
One of the people here at the Gerson Clinic just set their bed on fire and it wasn’t by smoking or illicitly trying to grill a steak. They were trying to help their partner do an enema.. For modesty’s sake we’ll refer to the patient as J. She was lying on the enema couch in…
Hormone Replacement Therapy – a Cancer Trigger?
Three of the female patients at the Gerson Clinic (including Laura) have undergone hormone replacement therapy. Two took bio-identical compounded hormones and two used the Vivelle estradiol patch. Is there a link to cancer? Dr Cervantes strongly thinks so. HRT may not be the only disease trigger, but it is likely one of the culprits…
Our New Friends
We’re so glad we came to the Gerson Clinic in Tijuana. We’ve learnt so much and best of all, we’ve been in the company of an extraordinary bunch of brave people – 2 patients here have been in and out of hospital during their stay, 3 patients have been diagnosed with breast cancer, 2 lymphoma,…
Preparing to Climb the Everest of Alternative Health
We’re getting ready to go home to New York next Tuesday. And I’ve started to wake up again in the middle of the night in a panic. How are we going to do this in New York? Here in Tijuana at the Gerson Clinic we have a team of 5 doctors and 4 nurses who…
Melatonin
Laura is so buzzed from all the caffeine in the coffee enemas, she is finding it hard to fall asleep. The prescribed valerian tablets had no effect. Now Laura is on 6mg of Melatonin at bedtime. It not only helps with sleep, melatonin is supposed to help fight cancer and boost your immune system too….
Health Update
Good news! Laura’s Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) level just dropped significantly for the second time. It is now 206. Normal range is below 176. Cancer patients tend to have elevated levels. When Laura arrived at the clinic, her LDH was up at 271. Dr Cervantes says this latest blood work shows her body is detoxifying very…
Bookworm
Laura – Since getting cancer, I’ve become a voracious reader. I’m reading like never before. It has become very important for me to escape into other worlds because mine has gotten so small.
Dreaming of Meat…
Blue cheese burger with bacon, sauteed mushrooms and onions, the whole roast pig at the local taco stand, razor clams, scallops and lobster. Laura has been dreaming of meat the past few days. For once, the only thing she is not craving is sugar. ‘I’ve no interest in it at all,’ she says.
Good News + Not Such Great News
‘Don’t worry. It is a typical healing reaction, and a very good one,’ Dr Melendez told Laura this morning after breakfast. Dr Melendez is co-owner of the clinic and one of the best known Gerson doctors. She has treated patients at the Gerson clinic for over 20 years. She and Dr Cervantes have dropped Laura…

In Gerson-ese she is having a ‘flare-up’ as all the toxins pour out of her body. On saturday she had stomach pain, weakness, light-headedness and she…
