21 Doctors from 13 different countries (see photo above) came to San Diego from May 17-21 for our week long Module I training to become a Gerson Practitioner... traveling from Nigeria, Hong Kong, Australia, Turkey, Colombia, and many points in-between. We were blessed with a truly global turn out.

They received instruction from the Gerson doctors from the Mexico Gerson Clinic and had lectures from the Gerson Institute's Medical Director, Dr Kayla Smith, on the biological and physiological basis of the therapy, patient assessment, designing individual therapy protocols and ongoing case management skills. They heard recovered patient Issa Khalef speak, participated in a Gerson Foods cooking demonstration, and did a modified therapy for one day with six juices in addition to the Gerson foods. The participants gave glowing reviews in their workshop evaluations.
This class was the first step of a two-stage training program for Doctors who want to become a licensed Gerson Practitioner and be listed on our Gerson Institute approved referral list. For those who want to continue, the next step after Module I is Module II where the practitioner works with a limited number of patients over a two-year period with consultation and supervision by a gerson trained doctor. More information on these Modules can be viewed on our website. "These doctors are working from their hearts instead of their pocketboooks" said Marilyn Williams, Gerson Institute Special Events Coordinator. We look forward to working with these wonderful people in the future. The next Gerson Practitioner training will be May 2011. |

| Honoring Fathers |
In Honor of Father's Day By Alyson Pisani, Our Volunteer Facebook Admin
With Father's Day fast approaching and for so many of us, we look forward to honoring one of the most precious people a person could have......Fathers!........ So many people are fortunate to still have a father in their life, too many unfortunately do not, but that doesn't stop the celebration of their lives. That is why this Father's Day, The Gerson Institute is holding a fundraiser in honor of fathers and in raising awareness of prostate cancer.
In 2009, 27,360 men died of prostate cancer, a cancer that can be healed with the Gerson Therapy. Our goal is to raise $1,368.00 by Father's Day; (that's $.05 for each victim of prostate cancer last year). Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to combat all obstacles that may come when sharing this healthy, safe and most importantly, effective means of healing cancers and other degenerative diseases and funds are needed to educate doctors, nurses, and individuals who want a choice for their wellness. Your donations are integral in supporting the Gerson Institute and for every donation of $10.00 or more you will receive a $5.00 gift certificate to the Gerson Institute online store. You can make a donation on-line through our Facebook causes page Father's Day is June 20th and I am confident that we can reach our goal of $1,368.00. Please make a donation today, and become a part of the all natural solution to cancer.

Haitian Farmers Commit to Burning Monsanto Hybrid Seeds
by Bev Bell
Mon May 17, 2010
"A new earthquake" is what peasant farmer leader Chavannes Jean-Baptiste of the Peasant Movement of Papay (MPP) called the news that Monsanto will be donating 60,000 seed sacks (475 tons) of hybrid corn seeds and vegetable seeds, some of them treated with highly toxic pesticides. The MPP has committed to burning Monsanto's seeds, and has called for a march to protest the corporation's presence in Haiti on June 4, for the World Environment Day.
ADD Linked to Pesticide Exposure
By Carla K. Johnson From the San Diego Union Tribune May 17, 2010 reporting on an article published in the journal Pediatrics
"A new analysis of U.S. health data links children's attention-deficit disorder with exposure to common pesticides used on fruits and vegetables. While the study couldn't prove that pesticides used in agriculture contribute to childhood learning problems, experts said the research is persuasive."

Silent Enemy by Faye Hueston (A Gerson Patient 25 years ago)
Some years ago, while living in London, Faye Hueston became mysteriously ill. Unable to find a cause for her peculiar symptoms, doctors dismissed them as psychosomatic. Eventually, tests by a clinical ecology doctor proved the cause to be pesticide poisoning. Silent Enemy refers to the chemicals that are polluting our bodies as well as the environment. Based on the diaries Faye Hueston kept at the time, it chronicles her experience of environmental illness, and her long, often frustrating search for a cure.

HealthSally commented on our YouTube channel- "After I finished the Gerson Basics caregiver workshop, I helped one of my friends to recover with his prostate problem. Now, he can urinate. It was a wonderful experience. Now, my husband and I started doing coffee enema daily to keep our health. We love it. Thanks for the information!"
