History
Dr. Gerson's diet therapy was introduced in Mexico in 1977 with the dedication of several beds at the Hospital La Gloria. Both the treatment's initial successes and popular demand prompted the opening of a second facility in 1979, the Hospital Jardines de la Mesa. The economic downturn of the 1980's led to the merger of these facilities. Following a major fire that seriously damaged the La Gloria facility, a temporary location was established at Hospital Del Sol in Playas de Tijuana. Within five years, the medical practice moved to new facilities at Centro Hospitalario Internacional del Pacifico, S.A. (CHIPSA), a full service community hospital, where it has made its home for nearly twenty years.
Throughout this time, the cancer therapy developed by Dr. Gerson has remained a foundation for the management of cancer and other chronic and degenerative diseases. Modern chemoprevention research into phytochemicals has led to more precise understanding and to refinement of the approach. Today, the seminal contributions of Dr Gerson continue to grow in importance as vaccine-based immunotherapy comes of age, because nutritional control improves the immune system's responsiveness.
The Gerson diet-therapy for cancer is an intensive proven, immunological detoxification and nutrition protocol. Macronutrient manipulation in the context of micronutrient supplementation has been proven to stimulate immunity and promote tissue integrity. It works closely with the healing forces of nature to stimulate tissue repair and normal growth through the input of more fresh, raw vegetable materials than any other nutritional intervention. Fresh juice, raw fruits and vegetables are the source materials of almost all micronutrients in their pristine organic composition.
Although the diet includes raw and cooked foods in its three daily vegan meals, extraordinary amounts of unaltered foods are consumed as well as the intravenous inclusion of vitamin drips. Specific fruits and vegetables, both raw and freshly prepared, and their raw juices supply enormous quantities of many phytochemicals currently under study worldwide for exciting anticancer and health promoting properties. Moreover, the use of raw foods ensures that patients receive even those health-promoting factors.
Oncological diet therapy is a medical specialty, not unlike oncological radiotherapy. In many instances diet therapy will be sufficient to cause complete regression of cancer. CHIPSA clinical scientists believe that complementary use of medical specialties will lead to more satisfactory overall outcomes when complementary medical protocols (such as Coley Toxin, Issel protocols and photopheresis) are co-implemented.
Results are continually published in peer review medical environments and with Internet medical journals and literature under the Gerson Research Organization and The Gerson Hospital, CHIPSA Medical Center, The Center for Integrative Medicine and Research.
To this end, the CHIPSA Hospital enrolls all patients (who wish to participate for a small fee reduction for their treatment) in clinical studies conducted and outcomes reported.
