Ok, folks! My experiment with the Gerson Therapy is turning out pretty well. I have now been on the therapy for almost two years, and I have gone for fifteen months with no change. I know that doesn't sound very exciting, but let me explain.
Here is a little recap of the events of my healing so far:
January, 2013 - PET scan and CT scan shows a 1.3 cm nodule in the lower left lung, and numerous lymph nodes enlarged and "lighting up" on the PET scan.
September, 2013 - CT scan shows nodule shrunk to 0.8 x 0.5 cm. All lymph nodes appear normal and no remaining evidence of metastasis.
May, 2014 - CT scan shows no change. All that remains is the small nodule.
December, 2014 - CT scan again shows no change.
To sum up, there has been no change since September of 2013. The pulmonologist says if there is no change for two years the nodule that is left will be considered "benign." I like the sound of that word!
Here is my plan now. I will slowly wean myself off the therapy for the next month or so. The end of February I will have been on it for two years, which is the minimum amount of time that Gerson recommends. I will, of course, continue to eat healthy foods and drink some juices. Then, I will have another scan in September and hope that all will be the same or better.
I have checked with the Gerson people about my latest scan and my future plans. They say that sometimes a tumor will wall itself off, making it difficult for the body to break it down, but as long as my blood work is good, and I am feeling well they are not too concerned about it. I have also read that when a tumor dies it does not always totally disappear. It would take major surgery to remove it, and I am not willing to risk that. The other option would be to go back on the therapy full force to see if the nodule can be broken down, but I am not willing to do that either at this time. If the scan in September shows a change for the worse, then of course I would get back on the therapy right away. I am not expecting that to happen now that I know how to eat right and take care of my body. I feel great and am probably healthier than I have ever been.
I have trusted God thus far, and He has been faithful to lead me in the right path. I have no reason to believe that it will be any different from here on. I trust Him with my life. He is my Creator, my Savior, and my Lord. He will guide me. He has never let me down. God is good! PTL!
