Meeting Charlotte Gerson Strauss

Wednesday was a treat because I got to meet Charlotte Gerson, daughter of Dr. Max Gerson. She drives from San Diego to the clinic in Mexico every Wednesday to meet with the patients individually and as a group. She is a strong, confident amazing woman. Her skin is beautiful with not one liver spot anywhere. She said that I may be able to make some of mine disappear over time if I stick to every detail of the program which incudes no lotion or creams of any kind. Of course this isn’t my main focus but I do find it fascinating what the body can do if given the right nutrients and enough time.

She spent about 30 minutes answering my questions and then later we gathered as a group to hear her presentation. She stayed for lunch and we got to know her a little better then too. She is radiant and full of energy and turns 88 next month.

Happy juicing everyone. I am drinking 12 glasses a day and working up to 13 soon. Yes, I am full all day long but that beats being hungry like so many people are in the world.

I am grateful, so deeply grateful.

Arrival at Baja Nutri Care Clinic in Mexico

After a very early wake up time to get to the airport and a connecting flight in Phoenix, my friend Carolyn and I made it to San Diego airport where we were picked up by the shuttle service that works closely with BNC. Jay was friendly, helpful and very positive as he shared stories about his life. We had no problems getting across the border.

At the clinic we were greeted by Felix. He took us directly to meet with my doctor and then later he took us on a short tour of the property. Our room is on the second floor and looks out over a beautiful courtyard. I can see the horizon line of the ocean from my bed and the beach is only 3 blocks away.

I immediately liked my doctor who used humor to make a connection. He was very specific in his instructions about my nutritional supplements and what they were for and details about other parts of the Gerson therapy, e.g. enema and clay pack frequency.

I was ravenous for lunch at 1PM which included a freshly prepared juice, Hippocrates soup, baked potato and assorted cooked and raw vegetable dishes. The bread was surprisingly delicious even though it doesn’t have salt or oil in it. Dinner was more of the same with a few different options.

I slept well the first night. The beds are comfortable and I had two pillows and enough blankets to keep warm.

Adios until my next entry.

Beginning a new therapy

I am beginning a new therapy starting next Monday, February 1, 2010, to help me recover from cancer.  I will be going to a Gerson therapy certified clinic in Mexico for 3 weeks.  Since the fees include having a companion come with me, I am taking my friend Carolyn Taylor for the first two weeks and then my daughter Nicole will join me for the last week.  They will learn along with me how to prepare the organic fruits and vegetables for my lunch and dinner and also how to use the Norwalk juice machine for my hourly fresh glass of juice.  There is no need to learn how to cook oatmeal which I will have every morning for breakfast for the next two years.

The enzymes from the juice help to detoxify my body and the organic coffee enemas help to stimulate the liver and increase bile production to get the toxins out.  Sometimes I will have what is called “flare-ups”.  This may include a fever and feeling sick but I will definitely be edgy or cranky or just plain difficult to be around.  (hopefully not for very long.)  I will let you know what this diet protocol is really like day by day through this blog.  Dr. Max Gerson’s therapy has been curing/healing and helping 52 degenerative diseases, not just cancer,  since the 1930′s.

I hope my musings will help you to understand what it is like for me.  My goal is to restore my body’s natural healing power and to keep my cancer from returning again and again.  In fact, right now I still have anal cancer with a little mestastasis in my left lung but it should continue to shrink and hopefully disappear before my next CT scan in March.

Thanks to friends donating their precious time I have this beautiful new blog to share with you and those interested in restoring their health.  Thanks for your interest and support.
