The Gerson Program Saved My Mother's Life

Image
Facebook like I am posting this blog in honor of my Mother who passed away 2 years ago. It would have been her 85th birthday. In 1978 while I was still in high school my mother developed breast cancer.  I had no idea what detoxification was or how it worked.  The nutritional program that she decided to use to help her overcome her condition was the Gerson Program .  The main strategy of this program is detoxification which treats existing conditions and can prevent disease.  My mother taught me how to do a coffee enema when i was a freshmen in college.  I bet Sigmund Freud would have a field day with that one. Now in my 18th year of private practice detoxification as a healing strategy is the most important part of my practice. Below is a brief video of Charlotte explaining the history of the Gerson Program. Dr. Gerson�s daughter,  Charlotte Gerson , founded the Gerson Institute in 1977, to spread awareness of the Gerson Therapy an...

Oh Look Honey There Are Egg Whites In The Candy Corn They Must Be Good For You!

I despise candy corn. No reason. They never made me sick.  I do not eat them but the sight of them makes me crazy. I think my level of Dante's Inferno would be stuck in a room with Rush Limbaugh, a big screen TV showing fox news and a bowl of candy corn. According to the National Confectioners Association, more than 35 million pounds (or nine billion pieces) of candy corn will be produced this year. I think this number is grossly underestimated, because t hey seem to show up everywhere.  Every time I clean my couch there they are sitting right next to a handful of change and my car keys that I lost a year ago. I found a candy corn in my high school baseball jacket...it looked as if i just bought it yesterday. Perhaps candy corn have mutated and now have the  the ability to reproduce. And for the existentialists, who ponder falling trees making sounds, how about if you eat candy corn and it doesn't show up when you go to the bathroom did you rea...

11 Reasons Why Flu Shots Are More Dangerous Than A Flu

Hello Everyone. I just grabed this off of the website - WhyDon'tYouTryThisOut.com? Great Stuff!!! The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself.
