Details:
In 1968, my arsenal of weapons against cancer was slim at best - a single bullet - but a magic silver bullet it was! At that time, I was not a physician of
natural medicine. But I had a voracious appetite for everything in the Alternative health field.
When my wife received the phone call from her mother announcing the fact that her husband (my wife’s father) had been admitted to the St. Joseph hospital in
Rimouski, Quebec, Canada - she was concerned. The concern turned to shock when exploratory surgery disclosed massive pancreatic cancer (head of pancreas) which, for undisclosed reasons, was considered inoperable by the doctors
who simply sewed him up and sent him home to die. The family consulted each other and bought the coffin and made preparations for the inevitable.
At this time, we approached my wife’s mother with a promising alternative. We had just finished reading a fascinating book, "A Cancer Therapy" by Dr. Max Gerson, a German surgeon and
medical doctor. His dietary approach made sense and was proposed to my wife’s mother. Her father was too far gone to even care.
Without arguing nor questioning, my mother-in-law immediately stopped giving the patient any solid food. He consumed, from then on, nothing but raw vegetable
and fruit juices, particularly carrot juice, several times a day. For more than six months, this man drank only juices and at the start he encountered several healing crises which were difficult to overcome because they
involved pain, vomiting and nausea but they lessened over time and each one left him stronger and with more energy. After about nine months, he started to consume more solid food such as salads, raw and fresh fruit and the
occasional potato. After one year he returned to the same hospital and was given the good news that the doctors could find no trace of cancer anywhere in his body. He felt and looked like he was in his fifties and everybody
considered this a case of ‘spontaneous remission’ which is somewhat of an insult considering what my mother-in-law had to go through to appease her husband who more than once revolted against this austere diet.
Results: This patient received no other treatments than a severe diet modification. He lived for another ten years and died in 1978 of a stroke at the age of
seventy-eight. At the end of his life he relinquished his severe diet and returned to a more ‘civilized’ nourishment, however, he still consumed large amounts of carrot juice.
All the juices were prepared with a simple centrifugal juicing machine.
Compare Dr. Gerson’s statement that
liquefiers (blenders) and centrifugal juicers don’t work for cancer patients.

cleansing and juice fasting.
