First developed to treat his migraines, Gerson adapted his plan to address tuberculosis and later other conditions, including cancer. Gerson therapy involves a strict and specific organic diet, nutritional supplements, and the use of enemas. This book will discuss the theory behind Gerson therapy, what it entails with numerous cooking recipes. Gerson therapy proposes that people with cancer have too much sodium in their bodies compared to potassium and that a buildup of toxins in the body causes changes in cell metabolism, leading to cancer. The goal of Gerson therapy is to "detoxify" the body and stimulate metabolism so that the body can heal itself. Followers of Gerson therapy must adhere to a strict low-sodium, organic fruit and vegetable diet. While a diet with limited sodium and plenty of fruit and vegetables is usually healthy, the diet involved with Gerson therapy is taken to an extreme. Developed Gerson therapy in the 1920s and 1930s to address migraines, then tuberculosis. It is now primarily aimed at people with cancer.
