A Cure for Cancer?

         After watching Food Matters, Joel and I stumbled upon another documentary called The Gerson Miracle. This film dealt more specifically with the body's capability to heal itself. According to Dr. Max Gerson, there is no disease your body can't fight off. There were multiple cancer patients being interviewed on this film- all had been healed by the Gerson Therapy. This documentary took hold of us. I know it sounds crazy to say there is a cure for cancer, but watch the film and decide for yourself. It's principals are simple:  proper nutrition, detoxification, and a chemical-free lifestyle.

Throughout our lives our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and cancer causing pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medicines we take and the water we drink. As more of these poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, being able to turn to a proven, natural, detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy is not only reassuring, but necessary. The Gerson Therapy 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. One aspect of the Gerson Therapy that sets it apart from most other treatment methods is its all-encompassing nature. An abundance of nutrients from thirteen fresh, organic juices are consumed every day, providing your body with a superdose of enzymes, minerals and nutrients. These substances then break down diseased tissue in the body, while enemas aid in eliminating the lifelong buildup of toxins from the liver. With its whole-body approach to healing, the Gerson Therapy naturally reactivates your body's magnificent ability to heal itself - with no damaging side-effects. Over 200 articles in respected medical literature, and thousands of people cured of their "incurable" diseases document the Gerson Therapy's effectiveness. The Gerson Therapy is one of the few treatments to have a 60 year history of success.

I haven't read it yet, as I am waiting for him to finish it, but of the few things he has shared with me I can tell it is directed mainly towards the people who are trying to defeat a chronic disease. Now, obviously Joel and I don't have any serious illnesses, but we don't want any either! We are seeking a lifestyle that would prevent cancer and other such chronic diseases. Did you know it is illegal to treat cancer with nutritional therapy in the U.S.? The only legal forms of treatment are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Now why would that be? Could it be because the doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and health insurance companies don't make any money off of fruits and vegetables? It seems to me that our country has a big problem with greed... could this problem be hindering us from seeing the truth? What if the cure for cancer really does lie in our nutrition?! Isn't it worth looking in to? Joel and I think so.
