DIETARY HEALING
the complete detox program - by Kathryn Alexander
In a word brilliant!
I was first introduced to Kathryn's wittings while we (I and my wife) were enjoying a week at the 'Charlotte Gerson Health Restoration Center' in San Diego. At first bush the Gerson therapy and diet appear almost too simple - especially when someone else is doing it for you! While at the Center, I devoured everything on Dr. Gerson's work that I could lay my hands on. Especially interesting was meeting Dr. Gerson's daughter Charlotte. This alone was worth the trip! Her vibrant health at 85 was striking and it really was an honour to meet her.
Like most people, we thought we were generally healthy* and had simply come to learn and enjoy the week. While there, we unexpectedly noted improvements in our own health even though we were their only for a week. This prompted us to continue the therapy when we returned.
*As you will learn from the book that; "a healthy diet is enough to keep a healthy person healthy but is insufficient in reversing the effects of disease."
Upon some digging and putting the therapy in practice it became quite clear that this innocuous sounding regime is anything but innocuous. While at the Center, we made the mistake of relaxing just a tad too much and did not take, the many, opportunities to do enough hands on juicing, cooking, etc.. Sadly this made setting up shop at home unnecessarily difficult.
"Nutritional Healing: A Patient Management Manual" by Kathryn Alexander, was one book among many that I had purchased at the restoration center and it was my first introduction to her work.
This manual became essential for really understanding the work of Dr. Gerson and it really helped in connecting the dots. I was enamored by the clarity of thought expressed in Kathryn's work. Aptly described by Charlotte Gerson as "the 'bible' of the nutritional healer of the future". This introduction, literally compelled me to read more of her work and I had to read DIETARY HEALING, hence his review.
..."Over the years I have watched a shift in patients' thinking where there is now a greater desire to take a more active role in decision-making regarding treatment. I have seen that the biggest problems arise when patients feel pressured by the medical system into either taking a back seat or making decisions while there remain unanswered questions. The main difficulties occur when cure cannot be offered, but in its place an option that could lead the patient down a path of greater drug-dependency. I have helped a great many patients through those difficult choices, and seen many remarkable improvements in health improvements that, from a medical perspective, could not have been achieved through diet alone.
I have found that by helping patients gain a greater understanding of their cases and of how their bodies heal, we achieve good results. Much of my work involves giving people greater insight into their cases and retracing the steps to show how they arrived at where they are now. Most people are surprised at how simple it is to put all the pieces in place and that they don't have to be a medical expert to understand their case. As the threads are drawn together a tapestry emerges where the steps that need to be taken become obvious"...
Above extracted for the post script.
This sumptuous 280 page book, hallmark of Kathryn's work, is information dense, yet eminently easy to understand. It is a gold mine for learning and will take the reader step by step to health! Anything she writes is worth reading and this book delivers in spades...
"We owe much of our understanding of the detoxification and healing process to the meticulous work of Dr. Max Gerson during the early to mid 1900s. He proved beyond doubt that by reinstating potassium levels within the cells through the use of vegetable juices, and taking a diet free of added salt, that healing would occur. Much of his later work was done with terminally-ill (only ones he was allowed to treat) cancer patients where he achieved a 50% success rate*. The diet was very strict and patients would be required to take around 3 litres of various vegetable juices daily along with other natural medications."...
* Imagine what the success rate should be of non terminal patients!
Kathryn unravels Dr. Gerson's work and further expounds on this indispensable understanding of disease, making it accessible to all.
Here is a short 3 minute clip extracted from her 2 CD talk titled The Principles of Detoxification which makes a wonderful enhancement to the book and is a must listen. It also contains a question and answer segment.Unfortunately, one of the problems with the Gerson therapy is the need for rigorous application; it is designed for the most degenerative diseases of all. ""DIETARY HEALING" has gone to great lengths to make these time honoured Gerson principles “family friendly” so your whole family can enjoy the benefits of the diet." - Quite a feat!
"What is health? Most people would say that health is the absence of symptoms and a feeling of well being. But health is a little more than this. If we take a closer look at the word health and remove the "th" we have HEAL, and this to me constitutes health - the ability by the body to heal itself or resolve imbalances naturally, without the use of drugs."
"Disease is an adaptation to local conditions; by cleansing (detoxing) the internal environment at cell level we restore the conditions required for self-healing."
"In health the liver should remove anything surplus to requirements or toxic to the body; this includes endogenous substances (made by the body itself, such as cholesterol, hormones, chemicals and the end products of digestion) and exogenous substances (environmental toxins such as heavy metals, agricultural and industrial chemicals, preservatives, dyes, colourings and medical drugs). If toxins remain in the body, then the immune system will attempt to remove the toxins from wherever they are lodged, and if unsuccessful will eventually lead to a "named disease" or may act as a carcinogen causing cancer. So the implications of inadequate liver detoxification on our health are enormous."
"Detoxification through diet is a very old principle used by the father of medicine, Hippocrates himself. Down through the ages and up until modern times, many eminent physicians have employed these dietary principles in the treatment of disease and there is no doubt of their powerful and effective results. When the vital organs are detoxified sufficiently, the body's acid/alkaline balance re-established and the mineral and enzymes systems are re-instated, then self-healing can occur."
"So why is detoxification different from other dietary plans? Detoxification means ridding the body of toxins or waste products that have accumulated over the years causing congestion and a clogging of the system. Toxins become tucked away, lodging in the cells, slowly inhibiting vital activities. Eventually, as more and more cells become toxic, tissues and organs start to lose their vitality and the symptoms of disease appear. To maintain efficiency, whether in a mechanical engine or a human body, regular servicing and maintenance is required. As soon as a system becomes overloaded and dirty then mechanical faults or symptoms of ill-health occur.
"As the organs become compromised we may see signs of increased toxicity which include general hardening and inflammatory disease: inflammation of the internal mucous membranes accompanied by mucus discharge; loss of organ vitality, particularly with signs of strain on the heart and kidneys which may lead to elevated blood pressure, fluid retention and weight gain; loss of structural integrity and muscle elasticity leading to hernia, prolapse, incontinence, varicose veins and congestive heart failure; and poor transmission of nerve signals which will have deleterious effects on all organ systems (including the brain)." and much more....
"Detoxification, through the removal of toxins and the release of congestion, raises vitality. This vitality stimulates the body to repair and regenerate itself; disease processes are arrested, followed by the reversal of symptoms. Detoxification promotes and supports self-healing which is the crux of health. So for those of you who wish to regain health, or maintain the health you have, then detoxification will work for you."
Here then is a clear and systematic approach, essential for rapid understanding and healing at the deepest level - an incredible gift!
An exemplary resource that encapsulates in one book what may take years to learn! - Required reading.

December 14, 2010Breakthrough Power:
"How quantum-leap new energy inventions can transform our world" by Jeane Manning & Joel Garbon is a non technical and easy to understand book that contains a fantastic summary of "free energy*" devices. The authors have done a superb job of making this difficult and somewhat esoteric information accessible to all. Both the experienced and those new and/or starting out in this exciting area of research will find the book eminently suitable. I have always loved Jeane's writings. She has an uncanny ability to explain complex scientific and mathematical concepts to the lay person that most scientists and mathematicians simply can't do! This combined with Joel's industry background makes this work even better.
*Free Energy does not mean that you get something for nothing it simply means that you get more energy then what you put in. This can be done for example by using very little energy to access are larger pool of existing energy source.
A distinguishing feature of clean technologies is how they harmoniously work with nature. Unlike legacy technologies which are inclined to disregard and/or override natural phenomena. Much of the confusion on free energy stems from the interpretation, or should I say misinterpretation, of second law of thermodynamics (which essentially states that you cannot get more energy out than is put into the system). The book does an excellent job of getting to the root of this misunderstanding in lay and professional terms and explains why it is possible to get more energy than one puts into a system when we harnesses the "wheel works of nature".

September 26, 2010A CLINICAL TRIAL
If there is anyone who can do justice to the monumental contribution of Weston A Price DDS, Francis Pottenger MD, Dr. Max Gerson MD, and William Donald Kelley DDS, (who forever changed our understanding in fields of health, nutrition and medicine) it is Dr. Gonzalez MD.
I heard Dr. Nicholas Gonzales MD speak at the October 2009, Wise Traditions Conference and was spell bound by the historic account of his nutritional cancer protocols which connected the dots so to speak between numerous views on nutrition and healing. The seminars in question are available at:
The Use of Proteolytic Enzymes Against Cancer: The Origins of an Idea - Nick Gonzalez, MD
Nutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System - Nick Gonzalez, MD
"To perpetuate a lie...That is that toxins and toxiods cure disease, is clearly is the reason that "Drug makers spend more on marketing than research: study" like $57 billion +."
Extracted form: Quackbusting The Quackbusters - Free e-book
And true to form one can expect a back lash from the establishment as discussed below. See also the fate of other such attempts:
Dr. Gerson's Suppressed 1946 Congressional Testimony
1953 Fitzgerald Report - Suppressed Cancer Treatments
The following cogent review by Helke Ferrie on Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez's, forthcoming book "A Clinical Trail" provides compelling case to attend his workshop and read the book.

As the keynote speaker at Whole Life Expo 2010, immunologist Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez will conduct a workshop on his renowned cancer therapy, entitled: “Alternative Medicine Takes on Cancer – And Wins.” Over the past decade, this cancer therapy appears to have so enraged the medical establishment, the pharmaceutical industry, and the regulatory system with its success, especially with the worst cancers (pancreatic and ovarian), that a gargantuan effort has been made to derail the formal clinical trial intended to examine this therapy. A Clinical Trial, his new book on that collusion between the highest levels of research and government, will be launched at the Expo on the weekend of November 26.

December 09, 2009Over-The-Counter Natural Cures
In a nutshell:
"Nutrient logic dictates that humans cannot thrive without key nutrients, and that today's health threats are simply the result of gaping nutrient deficiencies. In contrast to a focus on choking down symptom masking drugs, nutrient logic addresses the cause and conquers illness by filling the corresponding deficiency. The process is as simple and logical as resurrecting a dying, sun-deprived plant with sun exposure and water. A mountain of scientific evidence supports this logic if you really need proof. As a pharmaceutical chemist, I've been studying it for more than twenty years. And the evidence has always proven that nutrient logic can improve people's health while saving them money."
"Nutrient logic isn't alternative medicine. It's scientifically proven, evidence-based medicine supported by historical data as well as today's most advanced techniques of medicinal chemistry...." As usual the book sites full references to substantiate this.
This book does not discuss health at the "symptom level." but is based on body's most fundamental level, the cell. This gives "a vantage point by highlighting the biological mechanisms underlying the cause of symptoms before they develop. Monitoring cell function offers insight into our "health trajectory." That's far better than relying on shoddy studies bought and paid for by Big Pharma that simply study symptoms and the statistical associations that come with them.
Like mapping the flight path of an asteroid and predicting its location years from now, monitoring cellular function helps identify big health problems years or even decades before they start."
Shane Ellison's book cuts to the core and treads where few if any have gone. It teaches simple lifestyle changes along with navigation skills needed to overcome the hype from both the mainstream and alternative health self serving camps.

January 26, 2009FoodMatters: You Are What You Eat
Those suffering from low vitality, depression, a chronic disease or even cancer, but are not considering diet and/or nutrients as a part of their recovery program, then for them this is the documentary to watch!
You can download the clip here.
Shown, yet again, here is the profound power of diet on disease, its prevention and cure. The short clip above from the DVD will simply blow your mind. More trailers can be seen here.
Non toxic dietary healing literally runs circles around the piece meal early detection tests and toxic drug approaches, with all manner of side effects. These drugs, even many tests themselves are often carcinogenic and simply not designed to work with the body. Unlike mainstream toxic approaches whose side effects often lead to more diseases the only side effects from nutrients are the curing of nearly all diseases! Unlike drugs, the practitioner can even take his patients medicine and benefit!
None of the allopathic practitioners can make such claims, or even dare take their patients medicine, yet most scorn* nutritional approaches. In face of irrefutable evidence you will hear lame explanations as to why most medical doctors do not consider diet and nutrients as an essential part of medical treatment - could it be that nutrients actually work?
* to the point of suppressing peer-reviewed scientific journals. See:
Squelching Information For Profit - Finally, JOM Archives Online
Another is the scientific journal of: International Society for Fluoride Research
Drug Companies Have A "Parasitic" Relationship With Journals
Listen to Dr. Saul, Philip Day and others eloquently bash the myths form mainstream medicine regarding nutritional and Orthomolecular (vitamin based) approaches to disease. Not to be outdone, you will also watch the indefatigable Charlotte, the daughter of Dr. Max Gerson, take on the situation! The Gerson therapy as you can see from the above clip, while not easy, is the de facto healing method bar none.
This Documentary will educate and counter the mainstream propaganda. You simply won't see or hear this information from the mainstream media let alone see it on TV.
True to its name Food DOES Matter, exemplary proof on the direct connection between the food and nutrients we ingest and our health - a must see by all.
Chris Gupta
-----------------The documentary can be seen at:
Ottawa, Toronto listings are here.
London Ontario Rainbow Theatre listing is here. On the same day, Feb. 11th 2009, there are two Orthomolecular Approach to Mental Health seminars as well, details are here.
In the UK: see Food Matters with Philip Day here
You can also watch at low cost and convenience online here.
