Gerson Therapy

 

ACOR CLL List Help Pages
Terry Hamblin

My only experience of Gerson therapy is of a patient who flew to America to
have it, but came back a few months later with the cancer horribly advanced.
She had abandoned conventional therapy which had a 70% chance of a remission.
Most orthodox doctors are against Gerson therapy because it cannot be shown
to work. If coffee enemas could be shown to benefit any form of cancer in a
randomized trial, then we would all trip over ourselves in the rush to adopt
them. I haven't noticed anybody hurrying.

Please don't be inveigled into having treatment for CLL when the white count
reaches a certain threshold. This is a very old fashioned approach that no
CLL expert approves of. Our mantra should be, we don't treat white counts; we
treat patients.
