Interview with Charlotte Gerson

Charlotte Gerson recently celebrated her 90 years of good health

Charlotte Gerson is the amazing woman who started The Gerson Institute which she founded in 1977.  The Gerson Institute is a non-profit organization based in San Diego, CA

The Gerson Institute educates the public on the Gerson Therapy.  Among the wide range of activities, they license private clinics so that they in turn can practice the Gerson Therapy and offer treatment to patients.

The Gerson Therapy is a natural treatment that activates the body’s own  ability to heal itself through an organic, vegetarian diet, raw juices, coffee enemas and natural supplements.

What a great idea to heal the body through food!

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”  Hippocrates

Ms Gerson is continuing the work of her father Dr. Max Gerson who originally developed the Gerson Therapy in the 1930s, initially as a treatment for his own debilitating migraines, and eventually as a treatment for degenerative diseases such as skin tuberculosis, diabetes and, most famously, cancer.

The Gerson Therapy has a tremendous success rate, so much so that one wonders why it is not given more focus in the media and in the Doctor’s office? I know that Ms Gerson is a very busy lady, devoting her time to helping others. I thank her for taking the time to answer these questions.
