DIETARY HEALING

[Guest guest]

the complete detox program - by Kathryn Alexander

(http://www.getalife.net.au/publications) In a word brilliant!

I was first introduced to Kathryn*s wittings while we (I and my wife) were

enjoying a week at the *Charlotte Gerson Health Restoration Center*

_http://www.gerson.org/g_therapy/monthly_program.asp_

(http://www.gerson.org/g_therapy/monthly_program.asp) in San Diego. At first

bush the _Gerson therapy _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2008/11/11/dr_gersons_suppressed_1946_con\

gres

sional_testimony.htm) and diet appear almost too simple - especially when

someone else is doing it for you! While at the Center, I devoured everything on

_Dr. Gerson*s _ (http://www.gerson.org/pdfs/Ortho_Hall_of_Fame.pdf) work

that I could lay my hands on. Especially interesting was meeting _Dr. Gerson*s

daughter Charlotte._ (http://www.gerson.org/videos/default.asp) This alone

was worth the trip! Her vibrant health at 85 was striking and it really was an

honour to meet her.

Like most people, we thought we were generally healthy* and had simply come

to learn and enjoy the week. While there, we unexpectedly noted improvements

in our own health even though we were their only for a week. This prompted us

to continue the therapy when we returned.

*As you will learn from the book that; **a healthy diet is enough to keep a

healthy person healthy but is insufficient in reversing the effects of

disease.**

Upon some digging and putting the therapy in practice it became quite clear

that this innocuous sounding regime is anything but innocuous. While at the

Center, we made the mistake of relaxing just a tad too much and did not take,

the many, opportunities to do enough hands on juicing, cooking, etc.. Sadly

this made setting up shop at home unnecessarily difficult.

* _Nutritional Healing: A Patient Management Manual_

(http://www.getalife.net.au/mag/detoxCDD_html) * by Kathryn Alexander, was one

book among many that

I had purchased at the restoration center and it was my first introduction to

her work.

(http://www.getalife.net.au/about_author) This manual became essential for

really understanding the work of Dr. Gerson and it really helped in connecting

the dots. I was enamored by the clarity of thought expressed in Kathryn*s

work. Aptly described by Charlotte Gerson as *the 'bible* of the nutritional

healer of the future

_https://www.positivehealth.com/author-view.php?authorid=936_

(https://www.positivehealth.com/author-view.php?authorid=936) . This

introduction, literally compelled me to read more of her work and I had to read

_DIETARY HEALING_ (http://www.getalife.net.au/publications) , hence his

review.

....**Over the years I have watched a shift in patient*s thinking where there

is now a greater desire to take a more active role in decision-making

regarding treatment. I have seen that the biggest problems arise when patients

feel

pressured by the medical system into either taking a back seat or making

decisions while there remain unanswered questions. The main difficulties occur

when cure cannot be offered, but in its place an option that could lead the

patient down a path of greater drug-dependency. I have helped a great many

patients through those difficult choices, and seen many remarkable improvements

in health improvements that, from a medical perspective, could not have been

achieved through diet alone.

I have found that by helping patients gain a greater understanding of their

cases and of how their bodies heal, we achieve good results. Much of my work

involves giving people greater insight into their cases and retracing the

steps to show how they arrived at where they are now. Most people are surprised

at how simple it is to put all the pieces in place and that they don't have

to be a medical expert to understand their case. As the threads are drawn

together a tapestry emerges where the steps that need to be taken become

obvious**...

_This sumptuous 280 page book_ (http://www.getalife.net.au/publications) ,

hallmark of Kathryn*s work, is information dense, yet eminently easy to

understand. It is a gold mine for learning and will take the reader step by

step to

health! Anything she writes is worth reading and this book delivers in

spades...

**We owe much of our understanding of the detoxification and healing process

to the meticulous work of _Dr. Max Gerson _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2008/11/11/dr_gersons_suppressed_1946_con\

gressional_testimony.htm)

during the early to mid 1900s. He proved beyond doubt that by reinstating

potassium levels within the cells through the use of vegetable juices, and

taking a

diet free of added salt, that healing would occur. Much of his later work was

done with terminally-ill (only ones he was allowed to treat) cancer patients

where he achieved a 50% success rate*. The diet was very strict and patients

would be required to take around 3 litres of various vegetable juices daily

along with other natural medications.**...

* Imagine what the success rate should be of non terminal patients!

 

Kathryn unravels Dr. Gerson*s work and further expounds on this

indispensable understanding of disease, making it accessible to all.

 

_Here is a short 3 minute clip_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/Detoxification_extract_3.10.mp3)

extracted from her 2 CD talk titled _The

Principles of Detoxification _

(http://www.getalife.net.au/publications/copy_of_index_html) which makes a

wonderful enhancement to the book and is a must listen.

It also contains a question and answer segment.

Unfortunately, one of the problems with the Gerson therapy is the need for

rigorous application; it is designed for the most degenerative diseases of

all. ** *_DIETARY HEALING_ (http://www.getalife.net.au/publications) * has gone

to great lengths to make these time honoured Gerson principles *family

friendly* so your whole family can enjoy the benefits of the diet.** - Quite a

feat!

**What is health? Most people would say that health is the absence of

symptoms and a feeling of well being. But health is a little more than this. If

we

take a closer look at the word health and remove the *th* we have HEAL, and

this to me constitutes health - the ability by the body to heal itself or

resolve imbalances naturally, without the use of drugs.**

**Disease is an adaptation to local conditions; by cleansing (detoxing) the

internal environment at cell level we restore the conditions required for

self-healing.**

**In health the liver should remove anything surplus to requirements or

toxic to the body; this includes endogenous substances (made by the body

itself,

such as cholesterol, hormones, chemicals and the end products of digestion)

and exogenous substances (_environmental toxins such as heavy metals_

(http://www.communicationagents.com/sepp/2005/08/02/chemical_poisons_cause_incre\

asing_le

vels_of_illness_tobacco_blamed.htm) , agricultural and industrial

_chemicals_ (https://www.positivehealth.com/article-view.php?articleid=1761) ,

preservatives, _dyes, colourings _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2004/06/07/ban_artificial_food_colourings\

..htm) and medical drugs). If toxins remain in the

body, then the immune system will attempt to remove the toxins from wherever

they are lodged, and if unsuccessful will eventually lead to a *named

disease* or may act as a carcinogen causing cancer. So the implications of

inadequate liver detoxification on our health are enormous.**

**Detoxification through diet is a very old principle used by the father of

medicine, Hippocrates himself. Down through the ages and up until modern

times, many eminent physicians have employed these dietary principles in the

treatment of disease and there is no doubt of their powerful and effective

results. When the vital organs are detoxified sufficiently, the body*s

acid/alkaline balance re-established and the mineral and enzymes systems are

re-instated,

then self-healing can occur.**

**So why is detoxification different from other dietary plans?

Detoxification means ridding the body of toxins or waste products that have

accumulated

over the years causing congestion and a clogging of the system. Toxins become

tucked away, lodging in the cells, slowly inhibiting vital activities.

Eventually, as more and more cells become toxic, tissues and organs start to

lose

their vitality and the symptoms of disease appear. To maintain efficiency,

whether in a mechanical engine or a human body, regular servicing and

maintenance

is required. As soon as a system becomes overloaded and dirty then

mechanical faults or symptoms of ill-health occur.**

**As the organs become compromised we may see signs of increased toxicity

which include general hardening and inflammatory disease: inflammation of the

internal mucous membranes accompanied by mucus discharge; loss of organ

vitality, particularly with signs of strain on the heart and kidneys which may

lead

to elevated blood pressure, fluid retention and weight gain; loss of

structural integrity and muscle elasticity leading to hernia, prolapse,

incontinence, varicose veins and congestive heart failure; and poor transmission

of nerve

signals which will have deleterious effects on all organ systems (including

the brain).** and much more....

**Detoxification, through the removal of toxins and the release of

congestion, raises vitality. This vitality stimulates the body to repair and

regenerate itself; disease processes are arrested, followed by the reversal of

symptoms. Detoxification promotes and supports self-healing which is the crux of

health. So for those of you who wish to regain health, or maintain the health

you have, then detoxification will work for you.**

Here then is a clear and systematic approach, essential for rapid

understanding and healing at the deepest level - an incredible gift!

An exemplary resource that encapsulates in one book what may take years to

learn! - Required reading.
