Dr Cervantes at the Gerson Clinic in Mexico isn’t happy with Laura’s blood work. Her sodium and chloride levels have dropped too low, her LDH (the cancer marker) has leapt up to 390 and he is worried she isn’t eating all her meals, especially on castor oil days. This is a big deal. It’s really…

Weekend Warrior Schedule
We’re trialing a new version of the Weekend Warrior schedule for our kind-hearted volunteers. We’ve pruned the schedule way back so it’s now 3.5 hour shifts (instead of the mammoth 5 hour shifts of yore) and we’re asking for just one Weekend Warrior for each shift (instead of two people each morning and one person…
Blood Work Update
Today, Laura had her first phone check-up with Dr Cervantes at the Gerson Clinic in Mexico . He reviewed her blood work and said her urine PH 8.5 is too alkaline (apparently this happens to most Gerson patients after 6 weeks), so he wants her to eat a little animal protein. Her ears perked up…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
