I love the Gerson Therapy's success stories so much, I've decided to use this blog to track how well i'm doing following it...
as per usual, i'm adjusting the Gerson (anti-cancer) Diet to a version that's a bit easier for me to follow (hopefully!!).
The food i prepare at home will be a slightly less extreme version of the gerson diet, but it will stick much more closely to it than the Standard American Diet (SAD).
Then when I go out to eat I will follow my vegan diet, but not the Gerson Diet.
Here's what I'm planning:
As much as I want:
All organic:
Fruits (including strawberries, pine apples, cucumbers and avocados - even though they're not allowed on Gerson) and vegetables (including peppers, mushrooms, fresh herbs, and whatever other veggies may be banned on the Gerson Diet).
Brown rice occasionally, oatmeal as desired.
Teas - herbal and green (only herbals are allowed on Gerson)
Sweeteners: honey (i know not exactly vegan - but I am trying) and maple syrup
Oil: Flax seed oil only
Beyond Gerson:
All types of beans (great northern whites, garbonzo, lentils, black, aduki, pinto, kidney, etc) - drained and rinsed of course!
Nuts - pecans, pine nuts, pistachio, walnuts, almonds, cashews - all salt free.
Grains/seeds: millet, amaranth, quinoa, couscous.
Now for the No-No's (besides all the vegan no-no's of animal products):
no salt
no sugar
no store bought salad dressings
no soy sauce, tofu, or miso (too much salt!)
Let's get started!
