Hello,
what is your opinion on the Gerson therapy? They've been doing it for years and claim that they can help with various types of cancer and other diseases by adjusting the diet to be plant-based and primarily focused on juices. I somehow believe that dietary adjustments can indeed help a person with serious illnesses, am I wrong? Of course, treatment is administered by a doctor, but it mainly involves raw food treatment and enemas.
Thank you

These treatment methods are unscientific, meaning they are unverified, and the vast majority of countries prohibit them (which is essentially the reason why most people travel to Mexico for this "treatment"). The issue is that manipulating health using unapproved methods is health-risking, and the Gerson therapy in relation to malignant diseases is even life-threatening. Generally, increased intake of fruits and vegetables is health beneficial, and in relation to cancer, it is demonstrably beneficial at a preventive level. The entire problem with these alternative methods lies in the fact that they are used not on a preventive basis, where we know their impact, but in advanced stages (often incurable) of diseases, especially cancer. And it is scientifically confirmed here that these methods no longer have a direct impact on the development of a tumor and, for a number of reasons, can even further harm health.
