Only juice and tea, NO WATER
On the Gerson therapy, if you can handle all 13 juices, you will be consuming 104 ounces of liquid daily. That is more than most people drink in one day. There is also water in the two servings of the Hippocrates soup that is eaten at both lunch and dinner.
We are asked not to drink water since drinking a plain glass of water dilutes the digestive juices and can also cause gas. If you wake up in the middle of the night and are thirsty then you can drink organic peppermint tea which gently stimulates the digestive track.
At the clinic each patient has a thermos of tea on their nightstand. Everyone here seems to visit the bathroom frequently so I am sure none of us are dehydrated. I don’t miss water at all since I drink a juice every hour. Remember that my mission is to detoxify my body and then restore it. The juices are the key to introducing a large quantity of live enzymes to accomplish that very goal.
Hi Sister,
I’ve been very focused on working on the house and have been out of touch while working inside the wall cavities of my home. I had a good long talk with Thom today which was nice. I will update you after your back home. I can’t believe how fast the 3 weeks have gone by. I look forward to talking with you about your juice journey.
Love, Dave
Hi Cathy,
It has been very fascinating reading your entries. I am impressed with your positive attitude as usual. Not very many days left! I look forward to learning all about the journey ahead. Take care and we’ll see you next week.
Lots of love,
Patricia
Dear Cathy,
You are so amazing! No matter what it is you undertake in life, it is always the same…total dedication and committment to the plan. I am so proud of you and the way you have handled this whole cancer journey. I gain so much inspiration from you. Wow, this time has gone so fast for me since you left for the clinic. It maybe doesn’t seem that for you though. It will be great to have you back home and learn more about the treatment. It was awesome to hear your voice yesterday. Have a safe journey home.
Love you,
Patti
