F.A.Q

F.A.Q

1) Do I have to attend a clinic to have the best chances of survival?

Answer: There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that attending a clinic for two to three weeks adds any benefit to a person’s clinical outcome. The purpose for attending a clinic is to learn how to carry out the Gerson Therapy so that you can return home and continue for the remaining twelve to twenty-four months. That very same education you would receive in a clinical setting can be achieved just as efficiently, if not more efficiently, due to the much greater personalized attention and other various factors when compared to all that goes into having to attend a clinic.

2) What advantages does a home program give me that attending a clinic would not?

Answer: Many! Attending a clinic can be very expensive. A typical two to three weeks stay can cost anywhere from fifteen to thirty thousand dollars as the cost of maintaining a clinic can be exorbitant; especially in this high inflationary environment. Those costs must get passed on to the patients. Our home program, on the contrary, costs less than five thousand dollars. This adds up to countless thousands of dollars in savings that can be applied toward doing the therapy at home and/or adding many of the adjunctive therapies on the Advanced Gerson Protocol to enhance what is already included in the home program. Compound that with the fact that you do not need to pay for, or go through the hassle of, traveling to an increasingly dangerous country and the convenience of a home program is even more logical. Continuing, in a clinical setting, there are many other patients receiving care. The personalized attention simply is not the same as classes, lectures and instructional videos are held in a group setting. With our three-month home program, your education is one on one with time devoted to you and you only. It is comprehensive, cost-effective personalized care at its finest. 

3) Can I do the three-month home program for prevention if I do not have a diagnosed condition?

Answer: Of course! “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”(Benjamin Franklin). We wish everyone would have this forward-looking mentality so they will never have to face the unfortunate diagnosis of any disease; especially cancer. A prevention patient would do a slightly modified regimen that would extend the supply of  products and supplements to nearly five months so you are getting more for your money so to speak.

4) How long must I be on the Advanced Gerson Therapy to heal from my particular condition? 

Answer: This all depends on the diagnosis and the severity of the condition. Nevertheless, a cancer patient, typically, must do the protocol for, roughly, twenty-four months. In a majority of the benign conditions, however, treatment will usually need to be between six to twelve months. On rare occasions, this may need to be extended to eighteen months.

5) What is the Advanced Gerson Protocol? 

Answer: With the Advanced Gerson Protocol, we have taken Dr. Max Gerson’s therapy, that he left us upon his death in 1959, and have expounded and improved on his therapy based on the evidence that has come out  in the scientific literature. Anyone who understands who Dr. Gerson was, understands that he was the consummate scientist. He was constantly improving on his therapy based on what was coming out in the scientific literature of his time. Much has been discovered since Dr. Gerson’s death in 1959. If he were alive today, his therapy would look a lot different than it did when he died. We would like to think that he would approve of our Advanced Gerson Protocol which is completely backed by the scientific literature. Nothing that we do, or recommend, is not soundly backed by a myriad of scientific studies. We are fairly certain that Dr. Gerson would have adapted many of the same protocols we have. 

6) Why isn’t the natural thyroid supplement included in the three-month program and how much can I expect to pay, in addition to, what I am already paying?

Answer: The answer is simple. The thyroid supplement requires a prescription by a medical physician and cannot be sent by mail apart from a licensed pharmacist. Therefore, for legal reasons, it must be managed and paid for separately. Your first three month supply will be given to you at wholesale cost: roughly $225. After your three month supply is finished, any subsequent orders will be at the retail price; keeping in mind the same quantity will last you six to eight months going forward as your need for thyroid decreases the further on you are into the therapy. 

7) After my three-month supply runs out, how much will it cost to reorder a subsequent three month supply of the supplements?

Answer: This will all depend on how many of the various supplements you choose to purchase going forward. Some of the supplements are considered mandatory on the basic Gerson protocol and absolutely must be continued. If choosing to continue with our Advanced Gerson Protocol line of supplements, the cost will be greater. Nevertheless, one can expect to pay $600-$2000 for a supply that will last you upwards of  four to five months as your supplement dosages will be less than the previous three months.
