This book describes the use of the Gerson Therapy for the control and elimination of obesity and its associated complex of ailments: diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, etc., considered "The Metabolic Syndrome," or "Syndrome X." The Metabolic Syndrome is one of the most rapidly rising diagnoses in modern, industrialized societies from Asia and Latin America to the United States. The Gerson Therapy has a long history of success in the reversal of these diseases, some being resolved very rapidly. Includes recipes for healthy living, literature citations, index, author index and specific instructions. Review: Makes perfect sense - After reading the book, my wife and I decided to give the diet a try (excluding the enema) just to see what effect it would have on us. To our surprise, we lost weight without exercise, and our blood pressure dropped to it's lowest level in years. My wife even has expressed that she has more energy throughout the day and has not have had to take allergy medicine nearly as frequent as she used to. What I found interesting was that once you start eating a healthier diet, you cannot go back to the junk food without getting sick. To me this really illustrated that the human body needs and wants the foods that are listed in the book. I'll admit that it is difficult at first to make the changes in the way we eat and we are not quite there as of yet, but it all makes perfect sense. While we are not doing the enemas at this time, we are not ruling them out in the future. But if you are fighting obesity, diabetes,or high blood pressure and have an open mind, this book is well worth it. Review: Highly Recommended! - Gerson's approach to wellness is sensible and in layman's terms, practical, and after reading, you will know exactly what to do to achieve your goal. Also loaded with facts that will help you stick with the routine because you will know the why's behind the what-to-do's. The information is captivating so that you won't want to put the book down and you'll be motivated to get started. Includes a precise schedule and recipes.

Grateful for the information in this book. My husband and went on this program for 8 weeks. It was not easy, though our health has improved.

Not bad; not practical
The book as a whole says to eat fresh, organic raw foods and your body will heal itself. This part is practical and workable. The rest of it is based on the Gerson model, which is a year to two year program involving up to eighteen pounds of fresh produce a day, juiced, and three coffee enemas a day. Regardless of how healthy I want to be, I cannot afford eighteen pounds of fresh produce a day for each member or the family, nor am I willing to have three coffee enemas a day - or a year, or a lifetime for that matter. The message that eating fresh organic foods will let your body heal is a good one, but it is not worth the book's price.
