![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve lost weight! I have lost more than 21 lbs since starting the therapy! I am starting 2014 25.4 lbs lighter than last year. I decided upon the Gerson Therapy precisely because of its thoroughness, its application in such a broad range of disorders, and its ability to create more vitality and become more healthy. Thus, I decided to take action now rather than later. Otherwise, I may be inviting a diagnosis down the road, which is probably something I don’t want to experience or invite into my life. In fact, everything checked out fine, which in and of itself is great, but that still left me with one major question: how will I lose this weight?Ĭlearly losing weight is imperative for me. I had medical checkups and lab tests, and was certain there must be a problem with my thyroid, but thankfully nothing negative showed up. “I decided to take action now rather than later….why wait till I’m sick, right?” I bought a Vita-Mix blender, learned how to make smoothies and switched to a vegan diet, yet I didn’t lose a single pound! Frankly, I related to his documentary Fat Sick & Nearly Dead! However, when I tried juice fasting, I didn’t get the results. So why would I bother with such an expensive, restrictive and complex protocol? I’m doing this for the same reason that Joe Cross did his juicing regimen. I am fortunate that I do not have any chronic degenerative disease or disorder. Since then, I’ve been on a modified Gerson Therapy diet. With a little reluctance, and considerable trepidation, I embarked on Gerson Therapy in early September. The treatment is very multifaceted and so complex that it takes a good month or two to even understand what the treatment is, and sometimes requires hiring a Gerson Coach or Home Set-up Trainer to help one get set up, buy supplements, buy equipment, and understand the protocol. It’s a complicated protocol, one that requires special equipment, and it’s time consuming, extreme, and to some it sounds outrageous, if not downright un-American! After all, no red meat? No water? No salt? All organic foods? Filtered air? Distilled water? No cleaners? Are you kidding me!

From there, it is the war of the worlds to lose a tenth of a pound. They tend to work for a short time, sometimes I’d lose 10-15 lbs, then plateau. Trust me, I tried all the weight loss advice first, including several other protocols, without much success. I also tried raw food, vegetarianism, veganism, and more. Then I tried some popular diets, some medically recommended, like The South Beach Diet and Weight Watchers others more obscure, like The Perfect Health Diet, and Fat Sick and Nearly Dead’s juicing diet. Indeed, to my astonishment, I kept gaining weight. In fact, the only thing lighter was my wallet. Yet, the results weren’t what I was expecting. Of course, there were many miracle juices and foods and supplements over the years, all of which were called “miracle health” foods, most of which made more than a few implied promises of miracle health results, and all of which were expensive. ![]() But I kept gaining weight! Then, I went through the healthy exotic fruit juice fad just a few ounces daily of very expensive Noni juice were supposed to make me healthier.
