Hi Beka

This is Kathy from BCNA's Policy Team.  I haven't heard of the Gerson diet, but have found some information about it on the reliable US-based website breastcancer.org.

As Amanda said, there are lots of 'treatments' that are promoted for breast cancer, sometimes even as cures for cancer. BCNA always recommends women talk to a member of their medical team about any treatments they are considering. Sometimes even seemingly harmlesstreatments such as vitamins and herbal supplements can interfere with conventional breast cancer treatments.

All the best, Kathy

If you are referring to the Gerson Diet - yes I have heard of it.  It is pretty much poo pooed by Doctors in general and perhaps there is more up to date information that is now available (it has been around since the 50's).  I am following an approach that is similar after doing quite a bit of research and attending the Gawler Program but it is not the same.  

You will likely be given advice about all sorts of cures and treatments - after perusing them and investigating and chatting with your team only you can decide whether a "method" is right for you or not.  You should always seek the advice of a professional as some treatments will interfere with others :-)

Best of luck.
