Extensive information on diet and nutrition is provided as well as a full list of forbidden and permitted foods.&nbsp; Gerson&#39;s cancer therapy is based on cleaning the body of toxin&#39;s whilst nourishing it fresh organic juices. &nbsp;The basic assumption is that disease comes from an accumulation of inorganic toxic waste in weakened area&#39;s of the body which cause an environment for disease to proliferate.</p>
