I’ve been on this health path since I was diagnosed two years ago, but being on the Gerson Therapy gives ‘healthy’ a new meaning. It is going to take some getting used to. Once I leave the safe confines of the clinic there will be no lovely Mexican ladies to prepare all my food and bring me my hourly juices.

There will be no more 5.30am castor oil wake up calls, no one to fill up my pill box each day, and no team of doctors and nurses to call on whenever I need. For the next 18 months it will be all up to my family and I to stick to this regime. The Gerson Therapy is a very powerful healer and it has the ability to cure cancer like nothing else.

The main mistake people make is not sticking to the therapy as strictly and for as long as what’s required. It’s going to be tough and it will take discipline, but the end reward will be worth all the sacrifice. Even once the 18 months is up, things won’t be able to go back to normal.

One of the things I’ve learnt from Charlotte Gerson is that even when your tumors have disappeared, the cancer isn’t completely gone from your body. Reverting to old, unhealthy habits will only cause the tumors to flare up again. That isn’t to say that there is no life after Gerson. The juices and enemas will be gradually reduced and I will be able to introduce a few different foods, but I will pretty much have to stick to this lifestyle for the rest of my life. It has taken me a little while to accept that, but when you consider the alternative it doesn’t seem so bad. I will just have to keep reminding myself of what will happen if I stray from the therapy. Finding the discipline is easier when your life is the threat.

So, I am dedicating this post to my new Gerson family. May you all recover from this harrowing disease and live long, healthy and happy lives. All of you incredibly strong and brave people are the ones who make this whole cancer journey such a blessing. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and learn from each and every one of you.

Positive affirmation for the day: Today I will let my Higher Power handle my worry so that I can be free. I choose to be alive in this moment and not blocked by the conversations that go on over and over in my head. I will stop trying to figure everything out and will trust that I will get the right answers at the right time.

Until next week, happy healing!
