Can I do the Gerson Therapy and chemotherapy at the same time?
There are a few instances where chemotherapy is of limited benefit. These include cases of Acute Leukemia, Testicular cancer, and fast-moving cancers where it is beneficial to quickly, if temporarily, stop the cancer so that a non-toxic intervention can be used. If someone in this case has already been on the Gerson Therapy for some time, they may be able to continue the Therapy at a reduced level during the chemotherapy treatment. It is advisable that the patient be monitored by a doctor. For someone starting chemotherapy first without having been on the Gerson Therapy, it is not advisable to apply them concurrently. It would be better to wait until the chemotherapy is finished and then the patient would follow a modified version of the therapy and slowly build up to the intensive therapy.
No. In most cases, chemotherapy works in conflict with a detoxifying therapy such as the Gerson Therapy. When a patient receives chemotherapy, a significant percentage of each dose remains lodged in the body. When the Gerson Therapy begins to work, it can very quickly dislodge toxins from the cells into the bloodstream, including the chemotherapy residue. Patients with such a large amount of toxins being released into their bloodstream often cannot detoxify the body fast enough if they are using the standard intensive Gerson Therapy and may be prone to liver failure. At the very least they can become very sick. For more information, please read Chemotherapy and the Gerson Therapy (PDF).
