Wink Re: Gerson Therapy: what is your experience with it?

I don't think anyone here is saying (or writing) that alternative therapies in general don't work.
If we are interested in exploring therapies other than what has been suggested by our medical team we should try to learn as much as we can about those alternative therapies as we can before we start.
Most of us also know that conventional therapies don't work for everyone either.
Those who shared links probably did so in an attempt to help us learn about the Gerson Therapy from various sources. Other people may be sharing information about their experiences or the experiences of those they know who tried the Gerson Therapy. This tread is an open discussion, not an attack on the Gerson Therapy.
I have the Gerson books. My cousin who tried the Gerson Therapy sent them to me. Unfortunately she passed away of breast cancer 8 years ago. The Gerson Therapy did not work for her either. Some of the recipes look interesting, but I would never try the coffee enemas.
Personally I try to learn as much as I can from several sources about both conventional and alternative therapies I am considering before I start any therapy.
Doing that has helped prevent or control most problems with those therapies.
