Medical Gerson Method and Nutrition Therapy (FoodMatters)

AI Thread Summary
The Gerson Method claims that a strict diet of raw, organic, low-sugar, low-sodium vegetarian food can prevent and cure illnesses, including cancer and depression, which many view as exaggerated and unsupported by scientific evidence. Critics argue that while improved nutrition can enhance health, the claims of curing diseases solely through diet are unfounded and potentially harmful, as seen in past patient outcomes linked to Gerson therapy. The documentary promoting this method has been described as quackery, with concerns about the lack of proper medical training in nutrition among doctors. Historical assessments by reputable medical organizations have consistently found no clinical benefit from Gerson's treatments. Overall, while dietary improvements are beneficial, they should not replace conventional medical care.

i also talk to lots of people at the gym. many, if not most, of them have had injuries in the past, such that they have been through physical therapy of sorts.

they are interesting sources of information. knees, followed by shoulders, are 2 areas that literally dozens of people at the gym have their own stories to tell. and exercises that they needed to do, etc.

Sounds like you're taking the advice as advice, and not over or underestimating your sources. That's what matters ultimately IMO.

Heh... well, I enjoy them roasted with some olive oil, salt and pepper, but raw it's horrific!

nis,

i try to get lots of opinions on any particular problem. and then if something seems interesting enough to me, i try it out. i have literally gotten hundreds of good ideas thru the years on various issues.

and i have also made my share of mistakes. but then hopefully i have learned from most of them.

I think that's the best any of us can hope for in our lives.

i don't know if any of you have heard of body rolling. i have been doing it for the past 2-3 years. but before that, i had never heard of it.

i consider it to be life-changing. and it just makes me think what other sorts of things are out there that i still have no knowledge about ?

Is that the use of a foam 'rod', or a ball? I don't know that I'm familiar with this.


Anyway, it seems to me that DanP's reading list is a great place to start learning. I know of no better way than to read, and then ask questions of experts.

yes, i now roll exclusively on pvc pipes.

i ran across an excellent picture on the net a long time ago, of how our tendons, muscle tissue and fascia tissue all interact together, but the last time i looked for it, i could not find it. it was a perfect example of a picture being worth a thousand words.

That's quite good for you, unless you have some issue with a spinus process... which is unlikely. This is why I always recommend Gray's Anatomy; you learn all of this in a systematic way, with some of the best illustrations out there.
