Nutritional Therapies

There are four parts to the program, diet, vegetable juicing, enemas and medications. We establish from your comprehensive assessment and medical reports, a program to suit your healing needs and health status. It is a low fat, low protein, high nutrient diet. The nutrients come from easily digestible vegetables, juices and slow cooked foods. The aim is to fill the cells with nutrients and enzymes from high potassium-rich foods, without putting any stress on the digestion process. 

Most clients are overwhelmed when they first read the full therapy. 13 juices daily, 4-5 coffee enemas and a very strict diet. With support, education and monitoring the therapy is achievable. Some clients start off on a modified version, embracing the full therapy within a few weeks. People feel alive, full of energy and happy within a few days on the therapy. 

We are so fortunate to have such a therapy that is not invasive, toxic or stressful on the body. Many people now use Dr Max Gerson’s work as a benchmark in detoxification and nutritional therapy. It is through his work that we are able to understand the principles required to initiate and sustain a healing by the body. The bases of his therapy are to detoxify the body, refill the cells with nutrients and enzymes allowing the body to engulf and eliminate disease and tumours. The therapy boosts the immune system, supports the liver and increases the body’s ability to initiate a healing crisis (inflammation). 

Taking control of your health has become your biggest focus

These are the usual reasons why. 

1. You have just been diagnosed with a life-threatening or debilitating disease
2. You are overweight, fatigued before you even get out of bed
   
3. You have no energy, libido and the dark depressive monster is lying dormant in the background ready to pounce. 
   

Are you using food, alcohol, caffeine or chocolate to get through the haze, hide from those emotions, maybe addicted uncontrollably? Are your emotions like a roller coaster and there is a nagging voice that keeps asking is this as good as it gets. Why the hell am I here??? What does it feel like to be really happy??? 

What does nutrition have to do with this you ask? Absolutely everything!!! A chronic disease doesn’t happen overnight. Cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and depression take years to develop. The body’s role is to keep homeostasis/balance and it will do everything possible until finally the right conditions no longer prevail and we succumb to the disease. Please, it is not totally your fault. We are all preconditioned genetically to certain diseases. Most importantly it is epigenetics our lifestyle, events and environment that impact on our own outcome. SO what is your lifestyle? We all have one and it is from our habits we create that our own personal lifestyle evolves. 

Enough of the depressing reality, and now for some happy news. You can turn events around. Yes, type two diabetes is curable through diet and lifestyle, so are obesity, insulin resistance and depression. Cancer is also treatable, with nutrition and lifestyle. Every day in my clinic I see peoples blood results improve, vitality restored, kilos falling away and diseases disappearing. Is it magic or a special pill, lotion or potion. No, it is hard work, changes and the creation of new healthy lifestyle habits. Oh no I hear you say, it’s no fun stuff, yummy stuff. Boring old veggies and juices!!! Well yes, but it can be fun, tasty and we need to have some naughty stuff to keep our brain happy.

I work very slowly with my clients, changing one habit at a time. Unless of course, you are facing a life-threatening disease then we must work hard and fast. I love to see my clients embrace a new healthy eating plan and lifestyle and be blown away by how good they feel. When their doctor looks at their blood results and can’t explain the amazing changes towards health. We see liver enzymes returning to normal, immune function improving, inflammation reducing, a cleaner and healthier digestive system, sleep improved and libido. 

The Nutritional Therapy is based on Max Gerson’s work from the 1940’s, a comprehensive protocol for the treatment of seriously ill people. Gerson takes the guesswork out of what to eat and when. Which supplements the body requires in assisting the healing process. To me, it is a well-structured therapy that can be fully embraced by most people after a full and comprehensive health/medical assessment. Full Gerson is not for everyone, most of my clients are on a modified version. We need to determine the strength of the body, the immune system and liver, so we can give the body every possible chance to heal and restore vitality. Our role is to assess the ability of the body to undertake this therapy and at what level. The assessment allows people to then make an informed choice about the wellness regime they will undertake. We like to work with your GP, oncologist, surgeon and other team members so you can have the best treatment options and outcomes. We can support you nutritionally with evidence-based principals whilst undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy. Our aim is to ensure that we bring you to a point where the resistance of the body is greater than the resistance of the disease. 

This is achieved through a four-pronged approach, developed by Max Gerson, the founder of Gerson Therapy. 

• Restoration of the entire metabolism 
• To initiate and support the healing inflammation 
• Eliminate tumour tissues and its toxic by-products 
• Restoration of tissues (structure and function) 
  

Dr Max Gerson stated that malignancy is cell adaptation to local conditions, an adjustment to the preceding pathologies. So if we can change the internal environment so that malignancy or disease can’t survive. If we can bring the body to a vitality where it can generate a healing crisis. If we can eliminate toxicity from the body you would indeed see the establishment of optimum health
