DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER Lost 200 Pounds Cured His Cancer Diabetes Kidney Disease & More!

RECENTLY UPDATED WITH NEW STUFF JULY 26, 2010

Inspiring… This is a miracle story. Long Haul Truck Driver Dave cured his own cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, and lost over 200 pounds, fully regaining his health, natural vigor and great enthusiasm for life with natural organic fresh, dark leafy green and colorful vegetables, fruits and no animal products. These valuable and inspirational videos were provided by the “LifeRegenerator,” Dan McDonald and others as well. Dave’s and Dan’s Juice Recipe below. Updated with an extremely enlightening set of new videos with Dave. : ) Here’s link to 16 Videos Movie of Dave.

May 2010 Dave is Glowing with Health in His Own Way
A very enlightening and enervating series of videos where Dave the Raw Food Trucker discusses his health and spiritual evolution from almost dying of cancer, kidney disease, diabetes and more, to now living a life of vibrant, glowing health and utter joy and happiness. Recorded by Megumi of DivineFoodsLiving in the Valley of Longevity, Vilcabamba, Ecuador during the World Raw Food Conference sponsored by Matt and Angela Monarch. I absolutely love Dave and his loving, giving and refreshing spirit. His videos with the LifeRegenerator have inspired and helped many people to overcome life threatening health conditions using dark green leafy juice and raw foods.

UPDATE: All 16 Videos of Dave the Raw Food Truck Driver and Dan McDonald the “LifeRegenerator”: (This video will play automatically in consecutive order. : )


Dave was taking 15 medical drugs a day, he’s now down to 5. He was off his Diabetes medication in 4 days by closely adhering to Gabriel Cousen’s book, “There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is advised in the book that you must be VERY careful as the juicing can cause Glucose Levels to PLUMMET so much that medications may need to be stopped in the beginning. It is always advisable to seek licensed professional monitoring and counsel, of course.

Dave started his raw food lifestyle by using nutbutters and stopping at raw food restaurants along his truck route. After 3 to 4 months, he began raw juicing using Gabriel Cousen’s raw juice recipes. In 4 days, his Glucose Levels dropped from over 400 to between 80 and 90. Previously, his doctor had recommended having his kidney removed because it was leaking protein so heavily. After raw foods for 16 months, his kidneys were back to normal.

Dave and Dan McDonald Get Into the Nitty Gritty of Making Juice

Quote from Life Regenerator, Dan McDonald

“For those new to this series, check out preceding videos at http://bit.ly/Hfc1X & this quick backgrounder on Dave’s amazing story of natural healing!:

My friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker tells his story of how he came from the brink of death to heal himself of several diseases including colon cancer, type II diabetes & kidney disease, all via the consumption of raw foods. Not to mention his amazing weight loss of 178 pounds over the last 16 months, and he’s not stopping there. He’s going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!!”

~~~

Dave the truck driver, had colon cancer stage 3, diabetes, kidney disease, plus an array of other deadly afflictions. He was on 19 prescription medications and weighed over 400 pounds. With juices, he experienced an unbelievable healing without chemotherapy or other medical treatments. Raw green juicing. He carries his juicer with 100 foot extension cord everywhere he goes. : )

Dave the Raw Food Trucker Recipe from Life-Regenerator.com “Dan the Man” (Dan McDonald) Youtube Videos (Quoted):

DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER’S 3-GALLON
SUPER SPECIAL LIFE-SAVING POWER JUICE !!!

These ingredients are what Dave uses to make 3 gallons worth of juice at once, to last him 3 days on the road. This is an ULTRA LOW-glycemic juice & Dave credits it for helping to cure his body of Type II Diabetes & Stage IV Colon Cancer.

Dave is ALL about having his produce be 100% organic. As he healed himself of serious conditions & his body still isn’t done healing himself of all the excess weight, he feels this is vital. But you just do the best you can!

* I n g r e d i e n t s *

**In the preceding Video #9, Dave
went over all of the ingredients below…
Visit http://bit.ly/8iheT to see that first!**

— 5 bunches Spinach (w/ stems intact; not just the leaves)
— 2 bunches Red Chard
— 3 bunches Collard Greens
— 3 bunches Kale
— 4 bunches Cilantro
— 1 bunch Fresh Basil
— 4 bunches Beet Greens (Dave ONLY juices the greens of the beets & NOT the actual beets, as he’s still recovering from the diabetes. For those not dealing w/ diabetes, feel free to juice the beets!
— 6 Red Bell Peppers
— 4 Yellow Bell Peppers
— 2 heads Fennel
— 4 heads Celery
— 12 Cucumbers (unpeeled if organic; peeled if inorganic)
— 2 dozen on-the-vine Tomatoes
— 3 heads Broccoli
— 1 pound Baby Bok Choy (or 1 bunch Bok Choy)
— 1 bunch Mustard Greens (use a smaller amount if the flavor is too strong)
— 4 bunches Parsley (2 Regular, 2 Italian)
— 1 bunch Asparagus
— 1 large Fresh Aloe Leaf (inorganic ok; organic is rarely available…also, only juice the lower portion of it & always juice a bit & taste, juice a bit & taste, as it can be VERY potent)
— 1 bottle of E3Live Algae (Blue Green Algae)
— Rainbow Light Advanced Systems Digestive Enzymes (to help control gas, especially when you first jump into a program like this! If you can’t find this brand, look for a type that’s raw vegan & whole-plant sourced)

Dave also adds Hallelujah Acres Barley Max (Barley Green Powder)

*Dan added a couple more ingredients,
picked fresh from the garden!*
— 1 bunch wild Lamb’s Quarters
— 1 bunch wild Plantain

* B e n e f i t s *

— Plantain ~ Moves the lymphatic system: Pulls mucus, etc. out of the body
— Tomatoes ~ For delicious flavor!
— Aloe Leaf ~ Soothes the GI tract, especially if there are ulcers and/or inflammation!
— Broccoli ~ Some call it the “answer to cancer” but what do you think? ;)

Inspirational videos and text | Use at your own Discretion | Personal Testimony: We have found stunning and amazing results with jaw juice. We have used the Gerson Diet and Juices and see life changing, life-altering success | $75 may be a little low at today’s prices

Dave the Trucker is still dealing with Diabetes and therefore avoids sweet fruits and sweet vegetables such as sugar beets. Those who do not have diabetes can use these in their juices.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE PULP?

Here’s a list of wonderful and amazing things you can do with the pulp remains:

* Make incredibly delicious broth for soups
* Broth for cooking sprouted grains, rice, etc.
* Broth for a delightful “vegetable tea”
* Use pulp to make nutritious cookies, muffins, cakes
* Pets love simmered pulp leavings – delicious! : )
* Added to home made pet food
* Excellent Compost for your cozy bin of worms (they love it : )

Enjoy!

Dave found out the exercise was important for sleep, Barley Max (“Rocket Fuel”), enzymes for urinary constancy.

He recommends detoxing GRADUALLY – lots of raw food, adding organics gradually, always consulting a doctor.

He enjoys new varieties green vegetables at the oriental markets. (Find organic : )

He loves raw food restaurants that provide so much encouragement and inspiration to transition to a raw foods diet. Cafe Gratitudes, Juliano’s in LA, etc.

Re: Colonics – Important for losing weight, cleansing, detoxification.

He is off all pharmaceutical and prescription drugs. He used to take over 13 drugs per day.

Dave has found a new enlightenment and “state of grace…” He has found extreme joy and contentment. A new, profound peace.

Dave believes in no animal products.

Dave is 99% everything – he “doesn’t want to be a purist.” : )

He believes most people no longer have all the digestive enzymes they need and cannot simply digest all the nutrients they need. People crave more food because they’re not getting what they need. Today’s food in cans, jars, bottles and boxes have lost all their enzymes.

About Juice Feasting
“After starting a juice feast, a lot of women who are post menopausal regain their periods after day 10 and 22. Raw juicing can bring your body back to where it really belongs.”

Dave’s libido increased. More energy, more life force or Holy Spirit, feeling like “you’re waking up, wondering why you never felt this way in your life.”

Dave used the following books:
** The China Study
** There is a Cure for Diabetes (Dave uses this book for his diet – he drinks as much juice as he wants.)
** Rainbow Green Life food Cuisine (Dave used the Section: Stage One for Diabetics)

Book Links:

More Notes from Dan McDonald’s Youtube Channel LifeRegenerator about Dan

This is VIDEO #8 of my weekly chats
with my friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker!
?

For those of you just joining us on this video, make sure to watch the rest of this series of videos at http://bit.ly/Hfc1X and also quickly read the following background info on Dave’s amazing story of natural healing….

My friend Dave the raw food truck driver tells his story of how he came from the brink of death to heal himself of several diseases including colon cancer, type II diabetes, kidney disease, with the consumption of raw foods. Not to mention his amazing weight loss of 178 pounds over the last 16 months, and he’s not stopping there. He is going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!!

*****VIDEO #8 UPDATE*****
This week, we find Dave at a raw food meetup group in Redmond, WA where Cherie Calbom, “The Juice Lady” was the special guest. Cherie has been wanting to meet Dave for awhile, so she invited up to the front to share a little bit more about how he healed himself of cancer and diabetes, and I gotta say, this is one powerful message!

After Dave first healed himself of type II diabetes, the doctors then told him that he had stage IV colon cancer…basically a death sentence! Thank goodness he didn’t believe in that death sentence, as here is what he thought instead….go, Dave!!!:

If this stuff right here can heal my diabetes in 4 days, it can probably heal the cancer!

When I started on a juicing program to heal the colon cancer, I told no one…as I’m sure they would have thought I was nuts…I didn’t want to waste time being defensive, so I just focused on my healing instead. Today, I’m happy to now continually bear witness to others also healing themselves of cancer…like my friend Jared, who has successfully reversed a stage IV skin cancer melanoma that had metastasized throughout his body, simply by going raw vegan.

How I first got into the raw food and juicing path was from my raw vegan friends Dave & Judit…who I credit today with saving my life. They had told me about a way of eating that would allow me to eat as much as I want, and still lose weight, while possibly healing myself of diabetes in the process. I was a 400 pound fat man at the time, so I listened!!

During the first week it was VERY challenging to stay on track, trying to just eat fruits and vegetables. But by the second week they invited me to a raw food restaurant in Santa Monica, called Juliano’s Planet Raw. When I sat down and tasted that food, I just KNEW that I could then stay raw….so then I began seeking out every raw food restaurant that I could find, such as:

w/ my friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker! ?

For those new to this series, make sure to watch the the other videos here http://bit.ly/Hfc1X & also refer to this quick backgrounder on Dave’s amazing story of natural healing!:

My friend Dave the Raw Food Trucker tells his story of how he came from the brink of death to heal himself of several diseases including colon cancer, type II diabetes & kidney disease, all via the consumption of raw foods. Not to mention his amazing weight loss of 178 pounds over the last 16 months, and he’s not stopping there. He’s going to go ALL the way with his health, and wants YOU too as well. This guy is a TRUE SUPERHERO!!

*****VIDEO #9 UPDATE*****
This week, Dave’s with me here at the RV making what may be the most powerful & amazing juice recipe that mankind has ever known…it’s…

? DAVE THE RAW FOOD TRUCKER’S 3-GALLON
SUPER SPECIAL LIFE-SAVING POWER JUICE !!! ?

Yeah!!!! This is definitely one of those juicing recipes for good health!

Dave first wants to thank Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD and his entire team at the Tree of Life http://treeoflife.nu for LITERALLY SAVING HIS LIFE. If it wasn’t for Dave reading Dr. Cousens’ book “There is a Cure for Diabetes” http://bit.ly/vZtsw or his friends Dave & Judit who recommended the book to him, who knows what would’ve happened!

These ingredients are what Dave uses to make 3 gallons worth of juice at once, so as to last him 3 days on the road. This is an ULTRA LOW-glycemic juice, the same juice Dave credits for helping to cure his body of Type II Diabetes & Stage IV Colon Cancer.

Dave is ALL about having his vegetables be 100% organic. As he healed himself of serious conditions & his body still isn’t done healing himself of all the excess weight, he feels this is vital. As for you, just do the best you can!

* I n g r e d i e n t s *

— 5 bunches Spinach (pulled straight from ground w/ stems intact; not just the leaves)
— 2 bunches Red Chard
— 3 bunches Collard Greens
— 3 bunches Kale
— 4 bunches Cilantro
— 1 bunch Fresh Basil
— 4 bunches Beet Greens (Dave ONLY juices the greens of the beets & NOT the actual beets because he’s still recovering from the diabetes. For those not recovering or healing from diabetes, feel free to juice the beets!
— 6 Red Bell Peppers
— 4 Yellow Bell Peppers
— 2 heads Fennel
— 4 heads Celery
— 12 Cucumbers (unpeeled if organic; peeled if inorganic)
— 2 dozen on-the-vine Tomatoes
— 3 heads Broccoli
— 1 pound Baby Bok Choy (or 1 bunch Bok Choy)
— 1 bunch Mustard Greens
— 4 bunches Parsley (2 Regular, 2 Italian)
— 1 bunch Asparagus
— 1 large Fresh Aloe Leaf (inorganic ok; organic is rarely available…also, only juice the lower portion of it & always juice a bit & taste, juice a bit & taste, as it can be VERY potent)
— 1 bottle of E3Live Algae
— Rainbow Light Advanced Systems Digestive Enzymes (to help control gas, especially when you first jump into a program like this! If you can’t find this brand, look for a type that’s raw vegan & whole-plant sourced)

* B e n e f i t s *

— Red Chard ~ High in betacarotene

— Collard Greens ~ High in phytonutrients

— Kale ~ Has the highest known level of phytonutrients in it that are digestible by humans (over 2x the level of spinach!)

— Beets ~ Beet green leaves have 2,000x the level of Vitamin K in them than the actual beets, so that’s why its worth it to Dave to buy them just for their greens!

— Bell Peppers ~ Great for flavor

— Celery & Cucumber ~ Function well as a hydrating juice base

— Tomatoes ~ Dave likes them because of the lycopene and chooses not to believe what they say about having to cook tomatoes in order to get more lycopene, for if you’re cooking tomatoes, you’re destroying the very enzymes that your body needs to digest the lycopene! What good is ingesting more lycopene if you can’t adequately digest, assimilate & utilize it?

— Aloe Leaf ~ Incredible for the cardiovascular system!

* I n s p i r a t i o n *

— Over the past 15 months or so, Dave estimates that he spent 150 NON-consecutive days just on juice. BarleyMax is like rocket fuel for Dave! http://BarleyMax.com

— Per liter of juice Dave drinks on the road, he throws in the contents of 1 fresh digestive enzyme capsule

— Dave has lost 188 pounds so far, is currently down to a size 40 pant & is on the fast-track to catching up with me! I better watch out!

— The cost of all of these vegetables for 3 gallons of juice to be drunk over a span of 3 days came to approx. $75.

? Is $25 a day really too much to save your life?

RAW JUICING – Raw Organic Dark Green Leafy Juice and Juicing

MAKE YOUR OWN ORGANIC RAW DARK GREEN LEAFY JUICE
(Regular Glycemic) 


(Adapted from Dave Raw Rood Trucker & LifeRegenerator – I will add Romaine Lettuce, apple, carrots, green beans, English peas, beets (gold or red), leeks, scallions, shallots, sprouts, grasses, low acid fruits, sometimes fresh or frozen mango) 

Cost 
Approximately $7.75 per day or $3.40 per day if you want  to split your juice for 2 days. This can actually last me 2 days.

Notes 
First of all, yes – this is hard work and can be somewhat expensive and time consuming.  Actually, this way of life is SAVING me money. Huge amounts…

You might also want to adding sprouts (avoid buckwheat sprouts as they contain a mild toxin), garlic, non-acidic fruit such as peaches or pears, grasses,  watercress, or any other green leafy vegetable. Make sure to use organics if they are available.

If not, it has been advised to rinse your veggies in a solution of raw apple cider vinegar and water. (1 tablespoon per gallon). Feel free to leave out whatever you wish as not everything is available. I have an old Green Juicer.

I LOVE it as it slowly and gently grinds the greens and presses to almost nothing. If you use a blender, you can use a well washed paint straining or cheese cloth to squeeze out the juice.) Of course it’s 

Ingredients 
Cut or Shred the Following ORGANIC vegetables to Fit Into Your Juicer or Blender. Vary ingredients according to Availability and Taste. 
 

Ingredients  Cost (Organic)
1 Apple 0.40
2 – 3 Carrots 0.40
1/2 Head Romaine Lettuce 0.75
1 Hand Full of Spinach 0.25

3 Finger Pinch Italian Parsley  0.20
3 Finger Pinch Cilantro  0.30
3 Inches of Small Leeks  0.20
Small Piece of Shallot 0.30
2 Small or One Large Scallion  0.35
3 Small Leaves Dinosaur Kale or 0.20
1 Leaf Large Regular Kale  0.00
3 Small Pieces Broccoli  0.25
1/4 Sweet Red / Orange / Yellow Pepper 0.60
3 Pieces of Cucumber (To Your Taste) 0.50
2 Stalks of Celery  0.25
1/2 – 1 Tomato  1.00
TOTAL COST  7.75

To Save on Costs 
• Use Farmers’ Markets
• Grow Your Own Lettuces, Tomatoes and Greens (Easy to Container Garden! : )
• Use heirloom Seeds and allow the best plants to go to seed
• Have your friends and family garden 
• Beg or borrow organic veggies 
• Work online for extra income – I hope to have steps, hints and tips soon – it IS possible if done right. 

Results 
Many people have extraordinary results with Raw Organic Juicing. It can be a profound experience with unforeseen benefits. Truth in action.

Having a BABY? Best Baby Advice from Grandma…

That is SOOOO exciting! Sooo happy for you!!! :D

Some advice and thoughts from a dear, wise Grandma person I love very much:

1. Enjoy EVERY moment with baby. A moment is here for a blink, then gone FOREVER, never to come back. You’ll never be able to go back and recapture lost time. Use every precious second of it.

2. Every moment away from baby is time away from heaven.

3. Eat only the purest natural organic foods while pregnant (and after! : ) so that baby might have fewer allergies and colic. A happy contented baby is easier than a crying colicky baby.

4. Use a natural baby carrier that holds baby close to Mom or Dad. That’s where baby belongs – right next to the heart of a loved one. One day, when baby is grown, he or she will walk out the door, and you’ll have wished you held them more. Much much more.

5. Let potty training happen in it’s time. Just remember – they won’t be wearing diapers to college. :D

6. Let your “No” be “No.” Ever gentle, ever firm and resolute. You won’t ever have to struggle once baby knows and respects your “Word.”

When Baby is ready for discipline… (when baby has learned to walk : )…

Time to teach “No.” Baby will resist. Tell baby “no” once again, looking kindly but firm. When baby doesn’t listen, tell baby, “timeout” so baby knows the word for takeaway, and then take baby to crib or playpen, AWAY from the rest of the family for just a few minutes. Baby will learn that No means no, and that if they don’t listen, they will be isolated. Short isolation is painless, but uncomfortable for baby. Baby ALWAYS wants to be near those whom they love. : )

Baby will need several lessons ever so often to be reminded that you mean what you say. Sometimes, baby will test you and try to do wrong over and over, perhaps many times. Just isolate baby as many times as needed, lengthening the time for a bit for periods up to 5 minutes. (An eternity for baby)

Keep doing this even if baby thinks this is a game. Remember – it won’t take more than 20 times! If you do this, baby will give up after a while (it’s not a fun game after all) and then, like a wonderful miracle, baby will respect your Word even after just ONE “NO.”

It’s the kindest, best trick for babies – and good for Pets, in fact all animals, too! :D

No matter how tired you are, teaching baby to respect “No” will make your life INFINITELY easier as the years go by. It lasts beyond the teen years.

Infinite Patience and Love…. and Word respected.

7. First time Brothers and Sisters…
Tell brothers and sisters that THEY are going to have THEIR brother or sister. It’s… theirs! Tell them how much baby will love them like no other, and how wonderful it’s going to be to have someone who loves them so much. It will be their, playmate, their new family member who will love them forever if they’re kind and good to them.

8. Feed baby (and whole family!) as much organic food as possible. The less pesticides, herbicides and chemicals, the better! And more tasty, too : ) There’s so much contamination these days. The purer, healthier the food, the better! No processed food. :D Buy from local farmers. Encourage local farmers! Support them. Those who don’t use chemicals work SO much harder. Be sure to buy humane, organic meat, too if you can! :D

9. The best way to teach baby (now older!) to not crave treats and candy, is to use a little trick. When they want candy, say Reese’s Peanut butter cups, buy 12! After dinner, let them eat as many as they want. After a few times of this with different candies, their bodies will NOT want it so much. After getting a bit sick after a bit too much candy, the deliciousness wears off. Of course, always talk to your doctor about this and everything you do – this advice is just smart grandma stuff , not medical stuff. :D

10. One of the best things to teach baby ( all children, actually : ) is that the greatest gift of all, is the gift of being ABLE to GIVE, and then giving. Receiving is WONDERFUL – but giving regularly, doing wonderful things for others, is even better in the long run. Why? Because people, living creatures, are designed to give.

They are happiest when they do! Loving, giving, sharing, laughing together with friends and family – nothing could be better than that! :D

PS: And from me and Cdin – teach children how to be infinitely kind to ALL animals. Animals DO feel. Even older lobsters lead younger lobsters around by the claw to guide them. Even lobsters have feelings. :D

So much here – so sorry for overdoing! But had to share because I think Grandma has some good thinking, i think :D

Much love!

Gerson Diet, Hippocrates Soup, Raw Juice Recipe, Romaine Smoosh

UPDATED MAY, 2010

The Gerson Diet is credited with curing many people from terminal diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, ulcers, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, mental disease, kidney disease, Multiple Sclerosis.

Hippocrates Soup Recipe | Raw Juice Recipe & Ingredients | Romaine Smoosh Recipe

We watched a personal friend go into remission from terminal cancer when he switched to the Gerson Diet. We also watched our friend’s German Shepherd recover from cancer when she was put on a slightly revised regimen. I personally watched my health drastically change for the better through the years while using this diet.

The truth is, this diet once saved my life when the medical community could find no cure and said my case was hopeless.

Over the years, I’ve seen a million cures, a million products, a million protocols and healing modalities. It seems I’ve made a stab at them all in some form or another.

Actually, I experimented with quite a few having been sickly since birth it seems…

A number of these cures have worked to one degree or another…

So – which to use consistently? It came down to several things – which was the easiest and least expensive.

In the end, this is my personal experience when illness was not life threatening :

1. Having friends care and pray for you.
2. Having positive energy from friends and loved
ones around you, giving back same.
I am finding that the support is vital.
3. Eating raw organic fruits, veggies.
4. Blending up Romaine Smoosh with Apples and
a carrot or two with fresh natural apple juice
and natural alkaline mineral water. (I believe this
is good when mildly ill, not seriously ill)

BUT – IMPORTANTLY – for the best healing, I have found that it is IMPERATIVE to use fresh raw juices from a true juicer rather than blender or other device.

Dr. Gerson was adamant about the importance of using pure, raw, organic expressed juice rather than blended beverages, smoothies or smoosh type drinks.

5. Blending a mixture of fresh, organic vegetables
in a press or grinding juicer such as a
Norwalk or
Green juicer

A Cancer Therapy – Results of 50 Cases)
Available at Gerson.org.

The gerson.org website is run by Dr. Max Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte Gerson and is a preeminent reference point.

Friends have related to me that the following organizations have received excellent results:
Optimum Health Institute, Lemon Grove, California
The William Hitt Center, Tijuana, Mexico

~~~

Please Note: If someone is very ill, Dr. Gerson HIGHLY recommended that they use pure Gerson juices from a juicer proper and not a blender to make their juices and smooshes.

The reason is because blenders, liquifiers, juice mixers or masters and centrifugal juicers generate a electro-magnetic current that destroys vital active enzymes. So the Smoosh recipe below is for those who might want health improvement rather than expect a curing of a very serious illness.

The best juicers are those that use slow grinding without generating any excess heat. The Green Star juicer’s rotating grinders have special magnetic cores that create a special field which enhances the uptake of vital nutrients into the juices from the ground fruits and vegetables. Other great juicers include the Norwalk. This Norwalk is a two process juicer, a grinder and a press. The Champion juicer uses a fast spinning tearing mechanism.

However, any juicer is better than not juicing at all, and in fact, many people have accounts of successful results irregardless of the juicer used.

Dr. Gerson’s patients were considered the acutely ill and terminal at best – the “worst of the worst” in terms of prognosis, and thus, he was forced to use the most optimal conditions and methods to brings them back to health.

Romaine Smoosh Recipe for Rejuvenation and Rebuilding

1 Head of Fresh Organic Romaine Lettuce
2-3 Stalks Fresh Organic Deep Green Kale
1 large or 2 Small Organic Carrots
2 Organic Apples (if you’re allowed)
2/3 Cup Fresh Apple Juice or Very Lightly
More if necessary to blend easily and taste
delicious
Processed Refrigerated Organic Apple Juice
Add More Liquid if necessary for the right
consistency
1 Cup Natural Spring Mineral Water – Alkaline
2-3 Tablespoons of Fresh Raw chopped Organic
Sprouts; sunflower, clover, broccoli, or other
similar more mild type

Good to Add as Tastebuds acclimate
Inch cubes Organic Beets
Small stalk of Organic Celery
Several inch cubes red, green organic cabbage
1/2 leaf organic collard greens
Sprigs of Parsley (not too much)
Red, Yellow or Orange Sweet Peppers

Instructions:
Pour liquids into blender, blend Romaine for as
short a time as possible (just a few bursts) until
liquified. Add Kale, then cut up apples and carrots,
finally sprouts.

Blend Until Smooth. You may have to split batches. Do
NOT remove pulp – it is as important as the liquid.

However, for those who cannot eat the pulp, you can squeeze and drain and use the pulp for either compost for your own home or container gardens or as an ingredient in homemade pet foods.

Drink (eat) slowly throughout the day – as much as you can. Eventually, you will actually grow to enjoy this concoction.

You might notice your skin changing and some physical afflictions diminishing. Please note: I am not a physician and everything I say is strictly my own experience so do talk to your doctor or naturopathic physician about any of this.

Smoosh is the ONLY thing that has saved me consistently and repeatedly EVERY time.

Perhaps SMOOSH is only for me, although my friend Nancy’s German Shepherd was healed from cancer with Smoosh plus most elements of the Gerson Diet.

Plus my friend Darlene’s husband’s cancer went into remission following the Gerson Diet as below.

There IS a problem.

I always discontinue Smoosh and go back to eating naughty naughty things…

~~~

Organic raw Smoosh or something similar is the best and least expensive solution to regaining health for me, my friend’s German Shepherd, everyone who goes on it.

UPDATE: For serious illnesses, I have not found smoosh to be an answer. It is only an adjunct for me for milder illnesses or general ill health due to stress or strain.

Serious illnesses require serious treatment as used by Dr. Gerson and other medical specialists.

RECIPE for Hippocrates Soup

1 big or 2 small fresh organic leeks
1 pound fresh organic potato or several small ones
1 1/2 pounds organic fresh tomatoes
1 large organic onion or 2 small onions
1 sm/medium organic celery knob (I have found that
the smaller, fresher knobs are more delicately flavored)
or 3/4 stalks organic celery
1 small parsley root (if unavailable, can substitute
3/4 sprigs of organic parsley)

Instructions:
Don’t peel any of the vegetables as many of the minerals and nutrients are stored directly beneath the skin. Scrub carefully and cook SLOWLY at low heat for 3 hours with a small amount of clean pure water, then mash and eat.

You can add small amounts of fresh organic parsley and fresh pressed raw organic garlic to taste.

It’s hard to for anyone to say why this soup holds such particular power. I have attempted to creatively altered the recipe and not received the same results. Is it the placebo effect? I’m not sure. But even Dr. Gerson remarked that this soup was very special and highly effective in his regimen even if he wasn’t absolutely sure of the dynamics.

I now actually look forward to having this soup.

~~~

Gerson was able to heal terminally ill cancer patients through his therapy. He was also able to cure other patients with diseases such as tuberculosis, multiple schlerosis, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, ulcers, heart disease, arterioschlerosis, mental disease, kidney disease.

The renowned humanitarian and physician, Dr. Albert Schweitzer wrote that Gerson was a “medical genius who walked among us.”

~~~

The way I discovered it was when a very sick friend of mine reappeared on the scene looking heavenly healthy and absolutely radiant beautiful after practically dying from AIDS, or something or equal magnitude. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his exact affliction.

He was adamant that I go on this diet because he knew of my grave illnesses since childhood.

I followed his advice and the rest is history – I was cured.

Questions and Answers About the Gerson Therapy


What is the Gerson therapy?

The Gerson therapy has been used by some people to treat cancer and other diseases. It is based on the role of minerals, enzymes, and other dietary factors.

There are 3 key parts to the therapy:

Diet: Organic fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to give the body plenty of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutrients.The fruits and vegetables are low in sodium (salt) and high in potassium.

1.   Supplementation: The addition of certain substances to the diet to help correct cell metabolism (the chemical changes that take place in a cell to make energy and basic materials needed for the body’s life processes).

2.   Detoxification: Treatments, including enemas, to remove toxic (harmful) substances from the body.

3.   What is the history of the discovery and use of the Gerson therapy as a complementary or alternative treatment for cancer?

The Gerson therapy was named after Dr. Max B. Gerson (1881-1959), who first used it to treat his migraine headaches.

In the 1930′s, Dr.Gerson’s therapy became known to the public as a treatment for a type of tuberculosis (TB).

The Gerson therapy was later used to treat other conditions, including cancer.


What is the theory behind the claim that the Gerson therapy is useful in treating cancer?

 
The Gerson therapy is based on the idea that cancer develops when there are changes in cell metabolism because of the buildup of toxic substances in the body.

Dr. Gerson said the disease process makes more toxins and the liver becomes overworked.
According to Dr. Gerson, people with cancer also have too much sodium and too little potassium in the cells in their bodies, which causes tissue damage and weakened

cancer.


What is the theory behind the claim that the Gerson therapy is useful in treating cancer?

The Gerson therapy is based on the idea that cancer develops when there are changes in cell metabolism because of the buildup of toxic substances in the body. 

Dr. Gerson said the disease process makes more toxins and the liver becomes overworked. 

According to Dr. Gerson, people with cancer also have too much sodium and too little potassium in the cells in their bodies, which causes tissue damage and weakened organs.
 
The goal of the Gerson therapy is to restore the body to health by repairing the liver and returning the metabolism to its normal state.

According to Dr. Gerson, this can be done by removing toxins from the body and building up the immune system with diet and supplements.

The enemas are said to widen the bile ducts of the liver so toxins can be released.

According to Dr. Gerson, the liver is further overworked as the treatment regimen breaks down cancer cells and rids the body of toxins.

Pancreatic enzymes are given to decrease the demands on the weakened liver and pancreas to make enzymes for digestion.

An organic diet and nutritional supplements are used to boost the immune system and support the body as the regimen cleans the body of toxins.

Foods low in sodium and high in potassium are said to help correct the tissue damage caused by having too much sodium in the cells.


How is the Gerson therapy administered?

 
The Gerson therapy requires that the many details of its treatment plan be followed exactly.

Some key parts of the regimen include the following:
 

Drinking 13 glasses of juice a day.

The juice must be freshly made from organic fruits and vegetables and be taken once every hour.
Eating vegetarian meals of organically grown fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

~~~

Dr. Gerson’s Juices consisted of mainly:

Carrot Apple Juice
Equal Parts Carrots Washed, Not Scraped to
Equal Parts Apples Washed, Not Peeled

Drink within 2 – 3 hours after pressing

Green Leaf Juice
Mixed Greens
Lettuce
Swiss Chard
Romaine
Red Cabbage Leaves (2 to 3 leaves)
Beet Tops (small inner leaves)
Escarole
Watercress (1/4 bunch)
Endives
Green pepper (1/4th of one pepper)
Sprouts of Seeds and Grains
1 Apple for every glass of Green Juice

Drink as soon as possible.

~~~

Dr. Gerson’s List of Supplements:

  • Potassium.
  • Lugol’s Solution (potassium iodide, iodine, and water).
  • Coenzyme Q10 injected with vitamin B12. (The original regimen used crude liver extract instead of coenzyme Q10.)
  • Vitamins A, C, and B3 (niacin).
  • Flaxseed oil.
  • Pancreatic enzymes.
  • Pepsin (a stomach enzyme).
  • Taking coffee or chamomile enemas regularly to remove toxins from the body.
  • Preparing food without salt, spices, or oils, and without using aluminum cookware or utensils.


Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using the Gerson therapy?

 
No results of laboratory or animal studies have been published in scientific journals.
Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of the Gerson therapy been conducted?
 
Most of the published information on the use of the Gerson therapy reports on retrospective studies (reviews of past cases).

Dr. Gerson published case histories (detailed reports of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of individual patients) of 50 of his patients. He treated several different types of cancer in his practice.

The reports include Dr. Gerson’s notes, with some X-rays of the patients over time.

The follow-up was contact with patients by mail or phone and included anecdotal reports (incomplete descriptions of the medical and treatment histories of one or more patients).

In 1947 and 1959, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reviewed the cases of a total of 60 patients treated by Dr.
Gerson.

The NCI found that the available information did not prove the regimen had benefit.

The following studies of the Gerson therapy were published:

In 1983-1984, a retrospective study of 38 patients treated with the Gerson therapy was done.
Medical records were not available to the authors of the study; information came from patient interviews.
These case reviews did not provide information that supports the usefulness of the Gerson therapy for treating cancer.

In 1990, a study of a diet regimen similar to the Gerson therapy was done in Austria. The patients received standard treatment along with the special diet.

The authors of the study reported that the diet appeared to help patients live longer than usual and have fewer side effects. The authors said it needed further study.

In 1995, the Gerson Research Organization did a retrospective study of their melanoma patients who were treated with the Gerson therapy.

The study reported that patients who had stage III or stage IV melanoma lived longer than usual for patients with these stages of melanoma.

There have been no clinical trials that support the findings of this retrospective study.

A case review of 6 patients with metastatic cancer who used the Gerson therapy reported that the regimen helped patients in some ways, both physically and psychologically.

Based on these results, the reviewers recommended that clinical trials of the Gerson therapy be conducted.

Have any side effects or risks been reported from use of the Gerson therapy?
 
Reports of three deaths that may be related to coffee enemas have been published.

Taking too many enemas of any kind can cause changes in normal blood chemistry, chemicals that occur naturally in the body and keep the muscles, heart, and other organs working properly.


Is the Gerson therapy approved by the U.S.?

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
 
The Gerson therapy has not been approved by the FDA for use as a treatment for cancer or any other disease.
For most cancer patients, nutrition guidelines include eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain products.

However, general guidelines such as these may have to be changed to meet the specific needs of an individual patient.

Patients should talk with their health care providers about an appropriate diet to follow.

Information about diet during cancer treatment is also available from the Cancer Information Service (1-800-4-CANCER [TTY: 1-800-332-8615]) and in the PDQ summary on Nutrition in Cancer Care.
