A Documentary Film by Stephen Kroschel
Running time: 93 minutes
Garrett is a 15-year old boy living in the Alaskan wilderness. Unfortunately, the untimely and tragic death of his mother propelled him into a downward spiral and he risked flunking out of school. This led to his father's decision to home-school Garrett. His first assignment was to study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson. Written over 50 years ago, Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer. Controversial at the time (and even today), Garrett took on the challenge of researching this amazing therapy, which drew the interest of his neighbors in the small Alaskan community. | |
We thank all of our readers, and also all of the volunteers who help to make our programs possible. We want to end with a note from Sharon Taylor, our graphic artist volunteer in Virginia:
"I'm always happy to lend a hand to help you in your efforts.
I plan to continue to volunteer for Gerson Institute indefinitely.
I can hardly believe all the great and positive change has come about for me personally since I got involved with the volunteer work and with beginning to apply the Gerson Way to my life."
