gerson therapy was amazing. I did two rounds, 6 months each round. the first time it wasn't until about 3 months in that I started feeling better. the second time I did it, the results came sooner and I was better to begin with as well.
my root problem is parasites. I did gerson therapy out of desparation as I became so ill and had so many debilitating symptoms I couldn't function anymore. it brought my health back up to a level of functioning again.
after that I continued keeping a whole foods diet, did periods of juicing, many
Liver Flushes and continued on bowel herbs...all this over time has helped in my general health. the
parasites are still there, but they do not make me ill like before. but because they are so resistant to leaving, I'm always short of being completely well. gerson therapy isn't a
parasite protocol, I did it because I had hit bottom and had nothing to lose in trying. it didn't clear the
parasites (of course) but as far as bringing back my health, it was fantastic.
as a cancer treatment though, that's what gerson is most known for, and there's many testimonials of people completely recovering from various types, even end stage cancers. so it's very hopeful for your friend.
good luck...I hope she recovers.
