Scroll Down Here: Feel free to copy and paste this information into a document that is larger in width. The Gerson diet has been known to cure people through nutrition ant it is entirely organic and vegetarian. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not just a diet. It is a treatment. They have a clinic in Mexico. Besides diet, detox and supplements play a VERY important role. This diet is naturally high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, micro-nutrients, and extremely low in sodium, fats, and proteins. A typical daily diet for a Gerson patient on the full therapy regimen features 13 glasses of fresh, raw carrot-apple and green-leaf juices prepared hourly from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables; three full plant-based meals, freshly prepared from organically grown fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; and fresh fruit and vegetables available at all hours for snacking, in addition to the regular diet. Gerson Therapy: Carrot Apple Juice guide and tips QUANTITIES AND PROPORTIONS 8 Glasses of 6-8 oz Apple-Carrot Juice per day (when doing the full Gerson Therapy) One (1) Apple: Green Granny Smith or Fiji if Granny Smith apples are unavailable Four to five (4-5) Carrots: No other type of apple should be used under any circumstances if you are working with the full Gerson Therapy. FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE, mix it up! But it is not recommended to mix green juice with apple-carrot juice. It's best to keep them separate though apples are used to sweeten green juices, the combination of apple and carrot is not advisable to mix with green vegetables. Beats, cucumbers, celery are considered compatible but chard, kale and other heavy greens are not. Notice: Under no circumstances are non-organic ingredients to be used instead of organic ingredients. Apples: One Granny Smith Carrots: Any kind Green Juice: Dark green lettuces -- ¼ to ½ of a head (depending on the size of the lettuce): red and green leaf lettuces, romaine, endives. Iceberg is useless and do not use - Escarole -- 2 or 3 leaves - Beet tops (young inner leaves) -- 2 to 3 leaves - Watercress -- 5 or 6 leaves - Red cabbage -- 2 or 3 leaves - Green bell pepper -- ¼ - Swiss chard -- little - Green apple -- 1 Preparation: Greens should be washed taking care to rinse off sand or soil that is often present at the base of the leaves. Shake off water or put in salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Cut off bottom portion of stems of chard or any other fibrous leaves. Chop up because it is quite stringy and hard to pulp. This avoids raising temperature of pulp and killing enzymes. Using a two-step (grinder/press) juicer, grind and collect pulp in a bowl. When all produce has been ground stir thoroughly, but not so much as to introduce unnecessary air into the pulp. If you're using an electric press raise the juice part slowly to avoid having pulp squirt out of cloth and onto the juice person. Using multiple juicing cloths you can prepare the second cloth while the first one is pressing. Also, some people will fold over the squashed cloth/pulp package and press it again to get a little more juice out of the pulp. Wash juicer after every green juice. After pressing, the remaining pulp, conveniently packaged in the juice cloth, can be discarded. The green juice is much more active than the carrot or carrot/apple juices and should be consumed immediately. Dr. Gerson did not recommend storage of the green juice for any length of time before consumption as it deteriorates rapidly. ORANGE JUICE Prepare a breakfast juice of 8oz from fresh organic oranges. We use other citrus fruit like grapefruits to alternate and due to freshest local produce availability. You will need a reamer type citrus juicer made form glass or porcelain. Do not use plastic or aluminum. *** Dr. Gerson does not recommend using a citrus juice press into which oranges are inserted with skin. Fatty acids from the skin can be pressed out as well and these fatty acids and aromatic substances should be avoided while on the Gerson Therapy. Breakfast OATMEAL 1/2 Cup Organic Raw Oatmeal (best to flake your own oat groats) 1 Cup of Purified Water Fresh Fruit: raw organic grated apple, papaya, apple bananas, any fruit that is allowed Or Soaked Dried Fruit: raisins, prunes, apricots (not too much, go light; high sugar content) Bring the water to a boil in a non-toxic cookware pot. Add freshly rolled oats, reduce heat and cook slowly for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for a few minutes. Serve with delicious fresh organic raw fruits or stir in some soaked dried fruits (sparingly). Soup HIPPOCRATES SOUP 1 medium celeriac or 4 stalks of celery 1 medium parsley root or parsley 2 leeks 1.5 lbs tomatoes or more 2 medium onions 1 lb potatoes garlic to taste Do not peel any of the vegetables, but wash and scrub them gently. Cut them coarsely and place into a non-toxic cooking pot (for example: enameled cast iron), add filtered water to cover vegetables, bring to a boil and simmer for 2 hours. Pass through a food mill in small portions. To add variety in taste to your soup, experiment with adding different herbs each time. Consult the not-allowed list to check that the herbs you use are permitted. Can keep well covered in refrigerator for up to 2 days, no longer. FOODS TO USE; The Gerson diet is filled with good food! Larger amounts: Because the Gerson diet has fewer calories and digests better, therefore larger and more frequent meals must be served. Cancer has starved the body, and additional food is needed in order for proper rebuilding to occur. Some even eat at night. The primary objective of this diet is to detoxify the entire system, and restore the functions of the liver and the metabolism. In the beginning, some patients may find it difficult to consume all the pre- scribed food and juices. But, in about 2 weeks, after a good detoxification is beginning to take effect, the metabolism should improve and the appetite increase. Individually adapted: So the treatment has to be adapted to how far advanced the malignancy, the flare-ups, and other complications and interferences are. Limited diet: The Gerson diet is limited to certain things. The primary foods are these: Fresh juices: Juices of fruits, leaves, and vegetables. Raw fruit and vegetables: Large quantities either in their natural form, finely grated, or salads of fresh leaves and vegetables. Stewed fruits and vegetables: Vegetables stewed in their own juice, stewed fruit, potatoes and oatmeal, the special (Hippocrates;) soup, saltless rye bread, oatmeal. Saltless: All must be prepared fresh and with- out added salt. After the first 6-12 weeks, some who feel they need it may wish to add the following dairy products: cottage cheese (saltless and creamless), yogurt from skimmed milk, buttermilk. (Charlotte Gerson says it is now extremely difficult to find cottage cheese, yogurt, and buttermilk which does not have added salt; foods with added salt must not be used.) Our note: Although the above paragraph contains the recommendation of the Gerson Institute, the reader should be reminded of the danger of returning to cancer-causing dairy products.] The restricted Gerson diet provides fresh, natural foods, with no sodium and the highest amount of potassium. It stimulates the elimination of toxic substances from the body. MORE ON FOODS TO USE; Here is additional information on the foods to be used while on the Gerson program: Fresh fruit: Fresh (never canned) apples, grapes, cherries, mangoes, peaches, oranges, apricots, grapefruit, bananas, tangerines, pears, plums, melons, papayas, persimmons, etc. Stewed fruit: Pears and plums are more easily digested when stewed. Other freshly stewed fruit may also be used. Dried fruit: All types of dried fruit (apricots, peaches, raisins, prunes, mixed fruit) are acceptable; but never sulphured! Wash, soak, and then stew dried fruit before eating it. Flax Oil: Flaxseed oil is very beneficial.;But you must not use any other kind of oil! Flavorings: To vary the flavors, you may also use very small quantities of the following ( but no others!): Allspice, anise, bay leaves, coriander, dill, fennel, mace, marjoram, rosemary, sage, saffron, tarragon, thyme, sorrel, summer savory. Spices must be used sparingly, since they may counteract the healing reaction. In larger amounts, chives, onions, garlic and parsley can be used. They often help flavor the food. Raw vegetables: The following raw vegetables 21 may be included in salads. They can be chopped, mixed, finely grated, or eaten separately: Mix raw into salads: apples with carrots, lettuce, chicory , tomatoes, escarole, cauliflower, romaine, radishes, scallions, endive, knob celery, chives, green peppers. Tomatoes are acceptable. Q. Are tomatoes okay? A. Tomatoes are oka ;Max Gerson, A Cancer Therapy, p. 414.salad dressing: Here is an optional salad dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, a little diced onion, grated horseradish (not bottled). You will find 35 pages of recipes at the back of the Gerson Primer, published by the Gerson Institute. Organic foods: Max Gerson and the Gerson Institute urge that all fruits and vegetables be organic. Cancer is not a local but a general disease, caused chiefly by the poisoning of foodstuffs prepared by modern farming and food industry.Max Gerson, A Cancer Therapy, Have vegetables and fruit for the diet and juices been organically grown? Nutrient content of organic produce is often several times that of non-organic produce. Insecticides can stop healing. Norman Fritz, added note in 3rd ed., FOODS TO EAT EACH DAY; Here is additional helpful information: Fruit and vegetable juices: Fruit and vegetable juices (in their raw form and in the soups) must be eaten each day; at least in the quantities ordered by the physician. Sometimes doing so may present some difficulties during the reaction period. When reactions occur: When these reactions occur, the patients sometimes ask for raw, uncooked foods or apple juice and raw, grated apples without peel, mixed with finely mashed bananas (whipped with a fork into a light puree). Because of the hypersensitivity of the intestinal tract, even the raw juices must sometimes be mixed with a thin, filtered oatmeal;sometimes mixed half and half. Later, only 2 tablespoons of the liquid oatmeal should be added, until the reaction period is overcome. Apples: Raw, grated apples should be taken in large quantities. When eaten raw, it is best to peel them to ease digestion and reduce gas formation. Apples should be eaten in every form: raw, finely grated, baked, apple sauce, or stewed with raisins. Carrots: Carrots should be used raw, finely grated (best with the same amount of raw grated apple). They should also be cooked, lightly baked, and sprinkled with honey or bread crumbs. Potatoes: Potatoes should be baked in the oven, with their skins on, until they are soft or mashed. The baked potatoes can also be put in a potato salad, with celery salad and lemon juice dressing. They may be eaten with apple sauce or yogurt (when it is all right to eat yogurt). Potato salad: Peel; slice; and, while hot, add dressing to freshly baked potatoes. Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are permitted once a week (no color added). Oatmeal: Oatmeal is a very good food, and a large portion can be eaten daily. Use old-fashioned oats: Scotch, Irish, or plain Quaker Oats. Use ½ cup oatmeal to 1 cup water. Cook slowly in water until done (about 5 minutes). Eat oatmeal (no milk) with any of following: raw grated apples, brown sugar or honey, blackstrap molasses, stewed prunes, apricots, bananas, apple sauce, raisins, peaches, etc. Bread and flour products: Use some saltless rye bread each day. The following can occasionally be used: brown or wild rice, potato flour, corn starch, barley, lentils, bread crumbs (grate unsalted pumpernickel leftovers). Sugar and sweetening: raw sugar, brown sugar (be careful: not the kind which is white sugar plus added molasses), maple sugar, syrup, light honey, unsulphured molasses. SAMPLE MENU Here is a sample one-day menu. You may wish to adapt it to your personal prescription: Breakfast 1 glass juice Large portion oatmeal Bread, dark rye, toasted or plain, with pre- scribed honey or stewed fruit (no preservatives) Lunch Salad (raw food) 1 glass warm soup 1 glass juice Large baked potato Vegetables, cooked Dessert: fruit, stewed or raw Supper Salad (raw food) 1 glass warm soup 1 glass juice Large baked potato 2 vegetables, cooked Dessert: fruit, stewed or raw The Gerson Treatment is a very effective treatment with high success rates.
