How Does Gerson Therapy Diet Work?
The diet allows the human body to restore diseased cells back to normal condition. After the initial six to twelve weeks of intensive diet maintenance the cancer patients are required to consume foods that are low in animal protein, low in sugar, low in salt and high in potassium. You may have fresh and natural foods for this purpose such as fruits and veggies. Processed foods, frozen foods, canned foods, alcohol and tobacco are all banned in this diet.
