The Gerson Therapy is a collection of healing methodologies for chronic illnesses like cancer. The good thing about this therapy is that the author used natural method of curing certain diseases. Somehow, Gerson Therapy can be considered a diet book that targets people with chronic diseases. This is because of the fact that the authors used a combination of body detoxification and high quality nutrition approaches as main part of the program. However, unlike diet book the program will not require a major change in the patient’s eating habits. The book advocates that nutrition and therapy is a sure way to beat chronic illness.
The reliability of the Gerson therapy has already been well-established due to the reason that the program has already been used for over three decades. The program had undergone several modifications to update some processes that would fit the needs of patients with more severe illnesses. The therapy covers simple arthritis to more complicated medical conditions of cancer. You will also notice a big difference from similar books: they does not recommend brand names or products nor sell vitamins and publications.
As a reference book, Gerson Therapy is a good source of information regarding specific illnesses because the author managed to provide a separate section of the diseases’ background, existing theory and related information to back up the reliability of the program. The book, unlike other therapy books does not guarantee that the process will be easy for the patient. It rather guarantees the patient that it will be really that difficult to follow compared to other approaches but promises healing.
The book is presented in such a way that detailed instructions were given whether the therapy will be done by the patient himself or with the assistance of somebody else and a medical practitioner. Several recipes have been added to the latest edition. Since the therapy approach would be really hard for most patients, there are several techniques included in the book to ease out the therapy. If the patient or the one assisting them would need information that was already included in the previous pages or chapters, there is no need to flip through the previous pages because most of the redundant processes were included in the pages needed. Take the advantage of a separate discussion of the mental aspect of the therapy. To sum it up, the book is very informative and highly organized and easy to understand.
