Shopping List
Lunch and dinner at the Gerson Clinic are the same. The Hippocrates soup is made of potatoes, celery root and tomatoes. I don’t know which is worse Laura’s new daily schedule (which I’ll post later), or our weekly shopping list which we just received. It starts off: “50 lbs carrots, 40 lbs apples, 38 heads…
Castor Oil Enema
The castor oil enema is something every Gerson patient dreads. It tastes vile and it is the mother of all detoxes. It strips all 32 feet of your intestine removing parasites, worms, fat deposits, toxins, food residues, dead and malignant tissue and defunct blood cells, according to Dr Ramos. You have to drink a couple…
Charlotte Gerson
Laura, Charlotte Gerson & Lucie Charlotte Gerson came to the clinic yesterday. What an extraordinary woman. She is 91 years old and full of energy and strong opinions. She calls the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration) the ‘Fraud and Death Association’, is vehemently against fluoride in drinking water. ‘It is poison. It says so…

All three cancer patients at the Gerson Clinic have elevated levels of LDH (lactic dehydrogenase). Laura’s started out being extremely high 272 (the acceptable range is 90-176), but within a week her level has dropped 20 points to 250.

Flax (linseed) Oil
The only oil you are allowed on the Gerson diet is 2 tablespoons of Flax oil a day, which may explain why we are both looking as leathery as a pair of old crocodiles. The other reason our skin feels as tightly stretched as Imelda Marcos facelift is that we aren’t allowed any moisturizer or…
The Gerson Clinic vs ‘Healing the Gerson Way’ (the book)
Almost everyone at the Gerson clinic seems to start slowly rather than launch into 13 juices and 5 enemas a day as prescribed in ‘Healing the Gerson Way’, Charlotte Gerson’s helpful book. ‘When people do the full protocol too soon, they can get into big problems and end up with an ulcer or in…

Mucosal Melanoma – the cause?
Laura has a very rare mucosal melanoma of the cervix. The Gerson Clinic has only seen one other case in all its years. But according to a top doctor we saw at Memorial Sloan Kettering these mucosal melanomas are becoming more common. What is the cause? Dr Cervantes at the Gerson Clinic thinks it is…
The Gerson Clinic
This is how we spend our days at the clinic… Note the barbed wire – Is it to keep us in or intruders out? Laura in ‘Poo Corner’.
Coffee Enema Revisited
Before you start doing your coffee enemas, may we recommend that you redecorate your bathroom in brown. Get brown towels to match. This will help you conceal all the stains on the walls, cabinets, in fact everywhere. Make sure you get a brown toilet and sink to match as well. This will cut down on…
