Logical Health with Doctor Nancy Rebellato
of the Rebellato Health Centre in tario
Gerson Therapy
Hi folks! When last we met in cyberspace I gave you a thumbnail sketch for basic nutrition and backed it up with verses from the Bible, specifically Genesis 1:29 which discussed the vegetarian diet that was originally designed for us as well as the harmony of the whole planet, and then Leviticus chapter 11 which gave us the clean meat laws after our environment changed.
My point was that if we simply eat what we were originally designed to eat, our bodies would last a lot longer and we would have more health energy in our lives. Sounds logical, doesn�t it?
Well, Dr. Max Gerson thought so too.
Dr. Max Gerson was born in Germany in 1881. He cured himself of migraine headaches using nutrition. While passing this information onto patients, he realized that skin tuberculosis and cancer were being healed as well as their migraines.
Dr. Gerson immigrated to the United States prior to World War II. For twenty years he treated hundreds of cancer patients who had been given up for dead after conventional treatments had failed. He was able to bring many back to 100% health and published his findings in his book entitled, �A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases�.
In the 1940�s and 1950�s, after 30 years of clinical experimentation, Dr. Gerson arrived at four main conclusions:
1) Diet has a considerable effect on almost all diseases
2) The human body can heal itself given the appropriate nutrients
3) Any effective treatment for degenerative disease must treat the whole person
4) People with serious illnesses must help their body detoxify.
If you�re wondering why you haven�t heard much about Dr. Gerson before, please remember that up to Max Gerson�s death in 1959 most cancers were considered incurable by orthodox medicine, and the American Medical Association and American Cancer Society both flatly rejected the idea that diet could have any effect on the prevention or treatment of cancer. If it were not for his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, who founded the Gerson Institute which kept his research and treatment protocol alive, we would not have access to either the information nor his treatment today.
So what does all of this have to do with our nutritional blueprint in the Bible? EVERYTHING!
Dr. Gerson�s nutritional regimen is based on a totally organic vegetarian diet of 13 fresh juices per day, raw and cooked fruits and vegetables, oatmeal, baked potatoes, Hippocrates soup, non-fat yogurt, and a small amount of scaled, finned non-oily fish for those who were especially deficient and required a little more that just vegetable and grain protein. The treatment protocol also required patients to detoxify using 5 organic coffee enemas per day, and to take supplements to regulate the biochemical functions of sodium and potassium, speed of metabolism via thyroid function, and essential fatty acid status of the tissues.
The interesting thing is that Gerson Therapy does not include the drinking of water or the eating of meat protein, and surprisingly enough, neither does Genesis 1:29 � and that�s because when our soil is healthy and our fruits and vegetables are juicy and full of distilled water and protein, neither water nor meat is required.
How do I know all this? Well, it�s because I have just returned from studying Gerson Therapy for the treatment of chronic disease and cancer through the Gerson Institute in San Diego, California. In the next installment of LOGICAL MEDICINE, I will share with you my excitement and knowledge during the intensive week I spent with 10 other doctors and health care practitioners from all over the world who, like me, want to cure cancer with high success rates using a logical approach and nutrition as a base.
So stay tuned and I�ll see you soon!
