Last night Jay got me to watch a documentary on the Gerson Miracle. Normally, I roll my eyes at most documentaries he presents me with, but some are actually quite fascinating, like the one we watched last night. Long story short, the Gerson Miracle consists of a natural diet of raw juices and a few coffee colonics (not so pleasant) to help cure an array of ailments, cancer being one of the big ones. In this documentary were testimonials of people who actually dealt with cancer, some of whom tried chemo, and when that didn't work, were told to go home to die. When they started on the Gerson diet, they started feeling better and fuller of life within days. In time their tumors shrank and disappeared, eventually leaving them cancer free. When weighing your options of poisoning your body with the toxic chemicals involved with chemotherapy or flooding your body with natural, organic foods to restore your healthy cells, which would you really choose?
Jay has been juicing now steadily for most of the year. It's not his strict diet of course, but he does drink a lot of raw juices, getting me to take a sip here and there. It's an acquired taste as we're so prone to having a taste for artificial sweeteners and sugar that something organic tastes like dirt to us, at least it does to me. After watching this documentary though, I really feel that it's worth it to make a point of creating my own juices and mixtures if only on a preventative front. Why should I pad the doctor's pockets with my hard earned money when I can ensure my own health without drugs or chemicals?
