PREFACE This booklet, on of series lays no clai to bein scientific document What it ai to do is to present, throug number of factua case histories, nove approach to cancer an othe chroni degenerative diseases that is totall different from th present-day philosophy an practice of orthodox medicine This approach, th Gerso Therapy, has bee practiced successfully fo over sixt years, ofte achievin healin in so called incurabl case wher al else ha failed Yetuntil very recently it existe in relative obscurity. It is only now, when the limitations of moder high-technolog medicine have become painfull obvious, that th potentia of trul holistic scientifically soun medical modality is attractin growing interest.

INTRODUCTION In hi last book th classi volume on th Gerson Therapy, Dr Gerson give hi understandin of th origin of cancer "I my opinion, cancer is no proble of deficiencies of hormones vitamins and enzymes. It is no proble of allergies or infections vira or others it is no poisonin throug som metabolic or external substance (carcinogen), no caused by geneti factor It is an accumulation ofnumerou damagin factors, in combinatio causin th deterioration of th entire metabolism when th live ha been progressivel impaired." In othe ords it is mistak to search fo "THE caus of cancer". Ther is no on single cause. With metaboli healin by th Gerson Therapy, it as been ou experience that even presumably ge etic cancer ca be cured. Th gene ma well predispose th pers to eaknes th live and/or th immune system Bu th damage is reversible When persons learn about metabolic nutritional healing an th Gerson Therapy, they ofte inquir as to othe patient wh ha th same proble or diag osis as th on from whic they ar suffering, an as whethe th Gerson Therap as proved effectiv in such cases.
