Original Note:
The claim that Gerson developed a “highly effective cancer therapy” is false. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/gerson-pdq https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/cancer-controversial-science-health-quackery-you-asked/you-asked-what-gerson-therapy https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65971/ The Gerson therapy is not only unproven but potentially dangerous. Coffee enemas, a key component, can cause serious complications including infections and electrolyte imbalances. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/gerson-regimen https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/gerson-therapy#downsides https://www.medicinenet.com/what_is_gerson_therapy_does_it_really_work/article.htm
