·                                 “Dr. Gerson’s conviction is that the chemistry of our bodies is being changed, at great harm to us. That the foods, the means of preparing foods, [and] the very soil is being contaminated by the stages of civilization.”

·                                 “With his selection of diet, he is moving to restore the balance in the system; once that is achieved, he professes, sick cells can be restored, cancers can disappear” (p.35-36).

Based on the treatments, the research, and the work of Dr. Max Gerson, it is possible to make some changes in your everyday habits which might have significant positive results on your overall health.

Dr. Max Gerson reminds us:

·                                 “Our nutrition starts with the soil. Man will be forever dependent on the iron laws of nature because the soil produces all his nutrition... When man disturbs the biological balance there, dire consequences fall on him...

·                                 When civilization came and polished [a staple food like rice] to look white and prettier, important minerals and vitamins were removed [the same process as that of white bread.]…” (p.104)

·                                 “…In addition to damage to the soil, the food is refined, canned, bottled, powdered, frozen, colour added, poisoned by chemical sprays, etc., until finally it becomes a mass of dead, unnatural, partly poisoned substances…” (p.104).

In their efforts “to boost production and to maximise their profits”, pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers, as well as GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and food additives, are produced in very large quantities by Big Business including Agribusiness, large chemical companies, biotech companies and major Food Corporations.

Some of the main problems with most of the man-made chemicals and industrial waste that end up in our air, water and soil, are their toxic effect on the organic material of the human body, and the fact that they disrupt the balance of nature.

It is, therefore, up to us as individuals, as families and as communities, to educate ourselves on the relevant issues, and to make as much as possible, well-informed and healthier choices in our buying and consumption habits….
