Myth: diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis are incurable. The truth is that today’s increasingly sickly society is directly affected by the lack of of wholesome, natural foods. We have been bred on mass-produced foods, filled with insecticides, hormone boosters, and steroids. Surely, it was only a matter of time that all of this would begin causing major problems with the balance of our naturally properly working bodies.
The foods we eat are not the only factors which intrude upon our health. For example, mercury-based fillings, microwaves, detergents, and some plastics all contribute to throwing off our equilibrium. Furthermore, actions which we perform on our planet have had negative effects on our collective health. Take this excerpt into consideration:
“Prior to the introduction of man made ionizing radiation into the environment, diabetes was very rare. Most children who developed diabetes died by the time they were 7 years old, since insulin was not discovered until the late 1920s. This greatly minimized inheritance of a genetic link to diabetes. By globally mapping diabetes, it was very clear to me that the highest rates of diabetes in the world are in the same latitudes as the major atmospheric tests. Jet stream distribution carried the radiation from east to west in the northern latitudes where the US, Russia, and China conducted tests. And in the southern latitudes where British and French bomb tests were conducted, the jet stream carried the radiation around the world, contaminating the tips of S. America and Africa. By 1963 at the peak of atmospheric testing, Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass reported a 50% decline in the North Atlantic fishing catch, and a 65% decline in the northern Pacific fishing catch, due to global nuclear fallout pollution of the oceans.”

The path back to square one is relatively simple, yet costly in a world filled with $1.00 fast food menus and inexpensive microwavable meals. The key is to go back to a simpler way of growing, producing, and preparing the food which we consume. Natural, unprocessed foods provide the human body everything it requires to maintain stability and fend off disease. The less processed, the better. If possible, everyone should have a garden during the summer months, providing the means to nourish our bodies without breaking the bank. Canning and freezing the surplus can sustain a household through the winter months.
Furthermore, overly sanitizing our environments can have harmful effects. If our bodies are sheltered from germs, then how will our bodies build up immunities and strength against our “dirty” environment?
I titled this post “Dr. Max Gerson”. Well, I haven’t mentioned his name until now. Perhaps I should enlighten and give credit to what has fueled my writing. Dr. Max Gerson developed The Gerson Therapy.
From The Gerson Institute website:
“The Gerson Therapy is a safe, natural treatment developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s that uses organic foods, juicing, coffee enemas, detoxification and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself. Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.”
In closing, I highly recommend the video, The Gerson Miracle. This video will change the way you see things. It will change your life. (You can also watch this video on Netflix.)
