Dr. Max Gerson, described by Albert Schweitzer as “one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine”, created the famous Gerson Therapy that is based around the regular consumption of fresh, organic juice. Dr. Gerson discovered that the regular intake of juice provides a superdose of enzymes, minerals and nutrients to the body, thereby allowing the body to cleanse and reactivate itself. Gerson Therapy has been successfully used for more than 60 years to cure “incurable” diseases, cancer and other degenerative diseases.

What juicers should not be used with Gerson Therapy?

Dr. Gerson discovered early on that blenders, liquidizers and other centrifugal types of juicers were not suitable when it came to producing the juice needed for the Therapy. This was for two reasons. Firstly, the high speed rotation of the blades created a “dynamo effect” where the resultant electrical energy destroyed some of the enzymes. Secondly, this kind of juicer combines the pulp of the fruit or vegetables with the juice. This creates additional bulk that is very difficult for a patient to consume when drinking juice the required thirteen times per day.

So, what is the best juicer for Gerson Therapy?

The preferred juicer for Gerson Therapy is the Norwalk Juicer. The Norwalk is a two-stage juicer where the vegetables or fruit are ground into a pulp. This pulp is then pressed under very high pressure using the built-in hydraulic press to extract the juice. The juice is of a very high quality and contains the maximum amount of enzymes, minerals and nutrients.

The Norwalk Juicer is expensive, is there another option?

The Norwalk Juicer, while very effective, is not a cheap option with the cost around the $2000 mark. Fortunately there is a cheaper option that offers the same benefit as the Norwalk: the Champion 2000 Juicer. The Champion Juicer is a low-speed, masticating juicer that can produce pulp as the output, rather than juice. This pulp is then put into a separate press which is used to extract juice that is of a similar quality to the Norwalk Juicer. The cost of the Champion 2000 Juicer and a manual press is around $260 to $500 depending on the model of juicer and the type of press used.

A cautionary note

While it may be tempting to use a cheaper, centrifugal-style juicer, Dr. Gerson noted specifically that there was very little benefit to his Therapy when these were used. If Gerson Therapy is to be followed, and it is a commitment, then it is worthwhile making sure that it is effective as possible. It is also worth noting that using a manual press, such as the kind normally paired with the Champion 2000 Juicer, requires a level of physical effort that a patient or elderly person may find difficult or impossible.

Cancer is the name given to any illness resulting from one of our body’s own cells growing out of control. There are many processes that control a cell’s growth and division, each of which can go wrong. Several of these control mechanisms need to be damaged before a cell becomes cancerous. There are more than 200 different types of cancers, which are categorized in to carcinoma, sarcoma, lymphoma and leukemia based on the cells from which they arise.

The principles involved in treating cancer are – either directly destroying the cancer tissues or indirectly destroying them by depriving them of blood supply and/or their nutrition. But the irony is that whatever conventional treatment is used to destroy cancer cells do affect to some extent the normal cells also. They may damage the skin, liver, intestine the bone marrow and other rapidly multiplying cells. Sometimes the effect of the treatment is more devastating than the disease itself.

Role of Alternative Medicine in treating cancer

A larger study of Alternative medicine use in patients with different types of cancer was published in the July 2000 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. It was found that nearly 70% of the patients used at least one form alternative medicine along with the conventional treatment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials at medical centers to evaluate alternative medical therapies for cancer.

Alternative medicine includes therapies like herbal remedies, vitamins, special diets, and acupuncture among others.

* Acupuncture:

-effective in the management of chemotherapy associated nausea and

vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. Now used in a

trial to reduce the symptoms of colorectal cancer

* Homeopathy

* Ayurveda

* Shark cartilage: Being tried in non-small cell lung cancer. it prevents new blood vessels growth

* Hyperbaric oxygen: In patients who had larynx removed for larynx cancer

* Massage therapy: for cancer related fatigue

* Pancreatic enzyme therapy along with specialized diet for the treatment of pancreatic cancer

* Mistletoe extract: for the treatment of solid tumors

* Wheatgrass therapy

* Macrobiotics: The macrobiotic diet is strictly vegetarian and requires you to consume about half of your daily calories from whole grains, about a quarter of your calories from vegetables, and the rest of your calories from beans, seaweed and soups

* Bioelectric therapies

* Moerman’s Anti-Cancer diet

* Hoxsey herbal therapy

* Essiac herbal therapy: Essiac is a herbal tea mixture that relieves pain and reduces the size of tumors. It contains four herbs- burdock, rhubarb, sheep sorrel and slippery elm

* Pau D’Arco herbal therapy

* Chaparral herbal therapy

* Laetrile (amygdalin): a chemical found in lima beans, raw nuts and the pits of many fruits. Amygdalin produces cyanide, which proponents claim kills cancer

* Alkaline diet: such as fruits and vegetables and restricting acidic foods

* Antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables

* Vitamins A, C and E: These are very good anti oxidants

* Detox therapies including Gonzales nutritional metabolic therapy, colon therapy, and Gerson therapy
The most successful practitioners integrate various components of the alternative cancer treatments for a better outcome.

The Story of Norwalk Juicers
The story of the Norwalk Juicer began a long time ago. The development of the original hydraulic press juicer almost a hundred years ago, eventually led to the Norwalk Juicer, as it is known today. The Norwalk Juicer is still sold. The Norwalk Juicer cuts and grates the produce using a vortex triturator with the resulting mass extracted into a linen bag which is then placed under a hydraulic press. The hydraulic press then exerts a huge downforce that sees the extraction from the Norwalk Juicer of 50%-100% more juice than other juicers.

Norwalk Juicers and Gerson Therapy
The Norwalk Juicer is best known in conjunction with the Gerson Therapy, also known as the Gerson Diet or the Gerson Protocol. Dr Gerson’s Principles of Healing is a powerful, natural treatment that boosts your body’s own immune system to heal cancer, arthritis, heart disease, allergies, and many other degenerative diseases. Gerson had very specific requirements for the type of juicer used. The Gerson Institute recommends the Norwalk Juicer which will handle both the grinding stage as well as the pressing stage. Used by Gerson patients and at Gerson-approved Hospitals, the Norwalk Juicer is capable of using raw or cooked vegetables and fruits, nuts and cereals to produce a variety of healthy meals.

The Benefits of Norwalk Juicers
The Norwalk Juicer has many benefits, including:
Easy clean-up with all parts on the front of the machine and easily accessible
Stainless-steel construction, built in the USA and with a 12 year guarantee
Fast and efficient - with 50%-100% more juice than other juicers
Gently grinds and presses so there is no oxidation and 3 to 5 times more nutrients
Available in oak (wood grain) or stainless steel
If price is not a priority, and you want something that can be passed down to your kids, then a Norwalk Juicer is the way to go. Many people claim that it is the world’s best juicer that money can buy. The Norwalk Juicer Model 270 is the current model on sale new from Norwalk, but you can get some fantastic deals by purchasing a used model via eBay. Previous models include the 170, 230, 235 and 265 Norwalk Juicers.

Two people came to mind when I am writing this article on colorectal cancer. Let me relate their stories.

Story 1:

Mat (not real name) is a 45-year old professional who was diagnosed with Duke’s C rectum cancer. Eight of 16 lymph nodes were involved. He had an operation and subsequently underwent chemotherapy with 5-FU leucovorin. The first chemo-treatment made his life miserable due to severe side effects. He decided to opt out of chemotherapy and came to us for help. He was started on herbs and felt real good after that.

Mat has a good friend who is a medical doctor. When his doctor-friend came to know that he had abandoned chemotherapy, he became agitated and came to see Mat and pleaded with him to continue with his chemo-treatment. According to this doctor-friend, what Mat did was wrong and he would not want to see his dearest friend die for nothing. He must go through the “proven path” of treatment. After all, to a medical doctor, herbal therapy is not definitive or scientifically proven.

Taken by his friend’s sincere concern for him, Mat relented and resumed his chemotherapy. The second treatment caused just as severe side effects as before. He felt like dying. Then, he came to a realization and asked himself: “What am I doing to myself? I suffered so much undergoing a treatment which I was not sure would even help me. Why, oh why am I “killing” myself? Am I doing this to please my doctor-friend or am I doing this for myself?” Mat was awakened to this fact and decided that he would please himself over all others. He decided to stop further chemotherapy.

The decision Mat made weighed heavily on me. When he came to me, I made it explicitly clear that the decision to undergo chemotherapy or not must be entirely his own decision. I cannot make that decision for him. So, he probably had made his decision based on his own guts feeling and we have to respect that. It has been some years now and Mat is still doing alright. One might want to ask: “Would Mat survive the six or eight cycles of chemotherapy, given the fact that even the first two cycles already caused severe reactions?”

It is a standard practice or golden rule so to say, that after surgery, patients are asked to undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Sometime, when the doctor does not think chemotherapy is indicated, the patients themselves do not feel safe.

Story 2:

It was on 29 July 2001, 9.30 p.m. I was on the phone talking to a lady from England. Her Malaysian-born sister had colon cancer sometime in March 1999. She underwent an operation. The doctor in UK said that since the cancer was at its early stage (Duke’s 2), there was no need for her to do any chemotherapy. Not satisfied, she came to Singapore to see another oncologist. Since she was still young (46 years old) the oncologist recommended chemotherapy. This would be “safer” for her – preventive or insurance against possible problems later. So she underwent six cycles of chemotherapy in Singapore.

March 2000 — a scan showed a 3 cm mass in her liver. She again came to Singapore. Further investigations by doctors in Singapore showed that there was also a 1 cm mass in the lung. The doctors recommended surgery for the liver and /or the lung. However, when the doctors opened up the abdomen, they saw numerous nodules in the peritoneum. The removal of the liver-lung was abandoned. The abdomen was closed back. She underwent another eight cycles of chemotherapy.
After the fourth chemotherapy the tumours decreased in size but subsequent chemotherapy did not show any further improvements. In short, chemotherapy did not achieve its intended purpose. She felt hopeless and decided to quit and returned to England.

She started on Gerson Therapy in Liverpool for five months. During that period the tumours had grown to twice their sizes. She then opted to participate in a clinical trial at one of London’s top hospitals. She was again subjected to another eight cycles of chemotherapy.

29 July 2001 — The purpose of the sister calling was to seek my help since there seems to be no other avenues left for her. Sometimes she was in pain, and she required sleeping pill.

This is the perception the world of today has with regards to cancer treatment. Chemotherapy is the answer and it must be done, otherwise you die from not doing it. With due respect, Mat’s doctor-friend believed that chemotherapy is the only key to Mat’s survival. Other ways are suspect and unreliable for lack of proof. So, Mat must go for chemotherapy or he will die. The truth is, Mat is still alive! But the lady from London, she was “emotionally a wreck ” and died not long after her sister talked to me.
