Why juicing?

Juices on the Gerson Therapy are a critical aspect of the regimen providing most of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytochemicals and other nutrients essential for healing along with adequate fluid intake. We are often asked why patients cannot simply eat the foods instead of making them into juices.

Part of the answer can be found in the fact that the typical Gerson Therapy patient will ingest up to thirteen 8 ounce glasses - about 104 ounces of juice daily! This tremendous influx of liquid provides the nutritional equivalent of almost seventeen pounds of food a day. The consumption of that quantity of food on a daily basis would be impossible. Secondly, patients suffering from degenerative diseases almost always have difficulty properly digesting and absorbing food.

A secondary reason for the use of juices has to do with absorption and utilization of all of the nutrients found in the foods from which the juices are made. People suffering from degenerative diseases almost always have difficulty properly digesting and absorbing food. This can be a result of toxicity, malfunction of the digestive system, a decrease in stomach acid production, or a variety of other causes. This digestive weakness is the same reason that many people have difficulty digesting and absorbing vitamin and mineral supplements in pill or capsule form.

Dr. Gerson found it necessary to find ways of dramatically increasing absorption of nutrients in order to effect healing and produce the remissions and cures of the otherwise terminal cases that he treated. His clinical experimentation showed that fresh juice from raw foods provided the easiest and most effective way of providing high quality nutrition and most importantly, produced the best clinical results.
