Dr Max Gerson, 1881-1959, the developer of the Gerson Therapy for cancer and degenerative disease, has been inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame.
He was one of eight inductees, one of whom was the Nobel Prize winner who discovered Vitamin C, to be honoured at The International Society of Orthomolecular Medicine's 34th annual international conference in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 14 May.
Gerson originally developed the holistic Gerson Therapy, a natural treatment which utilises the body's own healing mechanism in the treatment and cure of chronic debilitating illness, to cure his own debilitating migraine headaches. He then discovered that it also was effective against skin tuberculosis, diabetes and a host of other chronic, degenerative diseases.
Gerson authored numerous books - including the landmark, 'A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases', which has sold over half a million copies worldwide - and dozens of articles in the world's medical literature. Nobel Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer, himself a healed patient, called Gerson 'the most eminent medical genius ever.'
The Gerson Institute was founded in San Diego, CA, US in 1977 by Gerson's daughter, Charlotte. It provides information and referral, Gerson-oriented literature and media, and training classes for both health care practitioners and interested laymen.
