She was given 3 to 6 months to live, even with treatment. She was filled with ascites, metastatic lesions, crippled in extreme pain and nausea, had infections simmering, severe malnourishment, and muscle wasting. Her doctors told her that chemo and surgery wouldn’t help her advanced cancer. The diagnosis of terminal cancer suddenly shook her awake and asked her point-blank if she wanted to live or die. It had taken countless doctors over six months to stop making assumptions and defaulting to writing scripts from A (anxiolytics) to Z (Zithromax). Dr. Nasha was forced to explore alternative methods. Luckily, she was blessed with an ER doctor who allowed her the time to share the chronology of her symptoms and truly listen. In the last 6 months, Dr. Nasha have seen 5 girls under the age of 10 with Stage IV Ovarian cancer. Dr. Nasha acknowledges that her past experiences of significant trauma and abuse contributed to her illness. [17:42] What is The Gerson Therapy?

The hardest thing when you are dealing with a cancer diagnosis is the well-meaning advice and wishes of the people in your circle. You could take every perfect supplement. You could be in perfect metabolic flexibility. You can have an incredibly immaculate clean environment.
