Fragment dotyczący diety Gersona

Gerson’s regimen.
The diet has been combined with various other approaches to stimulate metabolism as raw liver extract, pancreatic and thyroid extracts or Lugol’s solution containing iodine. Infusions of potassium, glucose and insulin are also described in recent reports (11, 12). According to the advocates, treatment should be continued for months or years until cure is achieved (12). Neither Gerson (13, 14) nor Cope (15) present scientific data on the alleged cure of cancer. Hildenbrandt et al. (16) from the Gerson Research Organization published a retrospective comparison of survival of patients with melanoma. Yet, this comparison was made with different control groups and the authors did not adhere to a single classification of tumor staging. Thus, no conclusion regarding the efficacy of the regimen is possible. Lechner and Kronberger (17) describe 18 matched pairs of one patient with different types of cancer and a control person. Patients with Gerson’s therapy had a better survival. However, from the publication, we cannot derive whether the matches were truly comparable regarding disease and treatment. Molassiotis and Peat (18) analyzed six case reports. In one, long-term survival is described in a patient with melanoma, which could be one of the seldom but scientifically acknowledged spontaneous resolutions for this type of cancer. In all other cases, conventional therapy was administered and one patient died. In 1990, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the USA initiated an expert panel to scrutinize case reports either selected by the proponents of the therapy or published in Gerson’s book (13). None of these examinations found a proof of the efficacy of the diet (19).

Dopóki nie będzie danych z badań klinicznych przeprowadzonych w prawidłowy sposób dalszą dyskusję uważam za niepotrzebną. Chyba że dostarczone zostaną wyniki badań klinicznych a nie rozdziały z książek czy opowieści internetowe.

In vitro data showed that cancer cells not only adapt to the situation but develop mutations and characteristics of stem cells. One hypothesis is that the diet puts the tumor under stress and thus selects for resistance and malignancy. In an experiment on mice, the tumors in the diet-treated group initially grew less but later tumor growth accelerated and exceeded that of the control group.
