Raised on a wildlife reserve in Alaska, 15-year old Garrett was interested in the dietary habits of their animals.

After the tragic death of his mother, Garrett s father decided to home-school his son and assigned a book written by Dr. Max Gerson that proposes a direct link between diet and a cure for cancer.

Fascinated, Garrett embarks on a cross-country road trip to investigate The Gerson Therapy. He meets with scientists, doctors and cancer survivors who reveal how it is in the best interest of the multi-billion dollar medical industry to dismiss the notion of alternative and natural cures.

It has been said that more people live off cancer than die from it. The Beautiful Truth is a movie that can put a stop to this travesty. Here is a very practical guide to the intensive nutritional treatment of cancer and other life-threatening diseases that many would consider to have been impossible to obtain. But thanks to the work of Max Gerson, M.D., and his daughter, Charlotte Gerson, this knowledge is readily available.

Max Gerson cured cancer. He did so with a strict fat-free, salt-free, low-protein, essentially vegetarian dietary regimen, based on great quantities of fresh vegetable juice, supplements, and systemic detoxification.

  1. For the love of heaven, people, learn and use good spelling and grammar. I want to believe in the legitimacy of the Gerson diet, but the fact that most people whose comments support it seem to be neigh near illiterate is terribly distracting, even discouraging.

  2. even if we get cured from cancer, do we actually live (in this body and flesh and function) forever? Nope! We are all gonna die some day at a later stage, if not now.
    So, why bother?
    Any illness is a gift from God, to give us a chance to handle it in a way that will allow us to be saved, now AND after physical death. So, get prepared fo now and ever.
    Be saved means be with Him, now, and for ever. This is an experience, only in Orthodoxy. Get curious and learn about it, and, most important, live it. Follow the prescription (dogmas and practice of orthodox dogmas), live like our saints did, like our Lord Jesus Christ lived, and you don't need no special treatment.
    Orthodoxy is the treatment.

    I have a friend who passed away on glioblastoma 4th level. All the time he kept thanking God for it and repeating to his mother not to pray for him to get halthy again, but to pray that God's will is done wit him, as God pleases, because God is wise and perfect, and would not allow this disease to happen to him, if it was not for his good. So simple... for those who believe AND do accordingly. According to His specifications. Not our way, HIS way!

    God bless you all,

  3. People who've commented negatively about Max Gerson's therapy show ignorance and the fact they know nothing about him and his work. Max Gerson is the only person in the world to have had considerable success curing advanced cancer (this was documented in his book and confirmed by other medico's). This information is further available in a 1946 congressional testimony. He was also the founder of the raw juice / raw food / digestive enzymes and alkaline diet therapies that are considered key to a nutritional approach to cancer today. He was a doctor and he also included surgery in his approach. Contrary to what ignorant scaremongers say, he didn't take patients away from so-called life saving chemotherapy or surgery. He treated the failures of conventional medicine that had been given up on. He was never a "quack" - that is a label given by ignorance, fear, closed minds, hatred, jealousy and the vested interests (of big pharma, the dairy and meat industry). Max Gerson was harassed by the medical establishment and murdered (in all probability by them). His book draft was stolen and he was struck of the medical register for proclaiming he could cure cancer with nutrition rather than through big pharma. This man did not give up but rewrote his book. He was poisoned a second time and died, but today we have his book and I have my own copy. He didn't earn money from his cures. His patients gave him a premises to work from. He was a Jewish refugee of germany. Those whose soul gives them great work to do on earth don't deter from their path and show great determination. They work hard and long to their goal. Such people are not to be found on the internet spending hours bagging out the accomplishments of others and pettily arguing and insulting people who disagree with them. Such people are nothing and never will be and their legacy to earth will be nothing. Shame to them. They should look to their own souls and the sickness in them. It can't be treated by medicines nor nutrition.

  4. Do not listen to these mainstream medical establishment Drug pushers commenting on here under FAKE names because the Facts are that Homeopathy, Naturopathy & Allopathic medicine SAVES lives & heals sick people. LOL.

    These real doctors exist & have THRIVING practices because the above statement is TRUE. Any foolish idiot who says they are 'afraid' of NATURAL medicine is screaming for the world prize of the ONLY human w/o a brain.

    Look on the internet, the AMAs website even for the statiscs of how many THOUSANDS of patients are KILLED every year by mainstream sick care Drs. STAGGERING!!! killed via wrong prescriptions, medical errors, mis-diagnoses, serious infections! wrong body parts removed during surgery, medical devices left inside patients!! on & on it goes, but too many people LOVE being sick & love the only attention they get in life by being chronically sick & getting to visit doctors. lol!!

    Finally, look up the statistics on the staggering!!! number of mainstream sick-care DOCTORS who commit SUICIDE every year! These poor souls are the ones who couldn't face themselves in the mirror knowing the lies this sick care industry perpetrates on gullible, stupid attention seeking SICKOS, literally.

    Homeopathy, etc. WORKS!! I know. Chemo, radiation nearly did me in until i turned away from that SICK environment & went w/Homeopathy & it is the ONLY thing that saved my life. I am healthier, happier living the truth & turning from the lies of mainstream sick care & YOU will be too!

  5. Hi! I'm a Gerson believer! Why am I a believer? Because I have used the Gerson Method for over five years! I've proved to myself it works! And I saved my life because of it! Not only did I save my life, but my mothers arthuritic nodes in her fingers are going down. Yes, even after 5 years, her hands are still healing, becoming more active, not less with old age. The Doctors wanted to take out mom's Gaul Bladder also over 5 years ago. Gerson seems to have healed her of that problem also.

    I'm 42 years old, I'm married, I have 4 soon to be 5 kids! No I'm not Jim Bob Duggar, and never want to be, I'm just a common guy. I'm a farrier, blacksmith, carpenter, and a life long horseman. I've always been active, but sometime after 28 years old, I hit the energy wall. Since I was a kid, I had A.D.D. type energy! Even into adulthood... But after 28, for me, it was like living life, walking uphill. To do anything, it became a huge strain. Even small deals became big deals.

    In my search for energy, I stumbled across the Beautiful Truth, and other Gerson Documenteries, including Dying to Have Known, and a neat, funny Joel Cross film called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead! Yes! Other people besides Gerson preach the same message!

    Instead of doubting Gerson, I believed! I worked at a saw mill as a lumber grader. 1 bundle of lumber is 4000 lbs. I would stack about 10 of those a day, go home and collaps! This happened for over a year! When the repetitive motion injuries hit me, I know I was in trouble and began searching for a different way! I found that way as "preached" by the Gerson Clinic. 6 months later, a new and rejuvenated man, my saw mill where I worked, cut over 28,000 board feet of rail road ties and lumber!
    I stacked 16 bundles of Oak hardwood lumber that day. 16,000 board feet and some change was my total... But for the common man to see, that amount equals 2 semi tractor trailer loads- stacked by me in 1 day. Each Semi Trailer would hold 8, 1000 board foot bundles, each weighing 4,000 lbs. That day I stacked 64,000 lbs of lumber, went home, mowed the lawn and actually did work around the house.
    Gerson made the difference!

    But I said Gerson saved my life!

    About a year and a half later, I nearly died of a ruptured appendix. We raced to the hospital, but because of the pain, we phoned the ambulance to meet us at Elkins Arkansas. The first responders met us, after checking my vital signs, said I was "normal". Then he tried to haul me out of the car, only after I screamed bloody murder, did he begin to believe I had a problem.

    The ambulence showed up! An attendant checked my vital signs, the judgement? I was in severe pain, but my vitals were "normal".... Really? You could have fooled me!

    We rolled to the hospital, Washington Reigional in Fayetteville Ar. They also checked my vital signs, declaring me to be "normal"! They put me on pain killers, and from straight up 12:00 noon, till 9:00 P.M. that night I laid on a bed, while my wife, family and mother sat in a waiting room... Around 9:30 some bright medical staff decided they need to do an M.R.I. !

    When the MRI image came in, you never saw a room full of technitions explode into action so fast! They were between panic, and military precision! As if getting me to wait 9 hours for emergency care was not fast enough! As my bed was quickly rolled out the X-Ray room into the hallway, medical people were running beside my bed into the surgury! A doctor was briefing me, telling me what he was going to trying orthoscopic sugergy, but he was afraid it was going to be to serious to avoid a large surgical cut and the scar that would come later.

    I said, "doc, I have 3 kids"! I didn't need to tell him more than that!

    After the surgery I was 1 week in intensive care, with pipes drains coming out of everywhere! I had drains in places I didn't know they could be put!

    The second day after surgery, my sergion came in. Earlier, just after and leaving the surgury, I had been informed they had to take 8 inches of colon to find anything to sew to... That was how bad the Gangrene was.
    In my recovery room the Doctor told me I had two ruptures, "perfurations" as he called them... He figured my appendix has been ruptured about 1 week before I came to the hospital! His best guess because of how far along the Gangrene has progressed!

    I credit God first, then Max Gerson, Charlotte Gerson and the Gerson Clinic! I am very thankful the DVD documenteries were made available to common people like myself, my mother, my wife and whole family! They have changed our lives, given us better health, and yes, allowed my children to continue to have a daddy!

    Anybody whom has an agenda against the Gerson Clinic has just that! And agenda! They have neither tried, nor care to try the idea that diet heals nearly everything! They are afraid that the common man, like myself, will discover for the "most part" doctors and nurses are not needed!

    I walked around with Gangrene in my gut for 1 week, and did not die! I am a contractor! The Sunday of the Monday I had to go into the Hospital, I had to work to prepare a home for the stone contractor whom was coming that Monday! I didn't feel good Sunday, my wife came to work with with me for moral support! I worked about 8 hours that day, while the kids ran around and played!
    I felt like I had a really bad case of flue! But I had the energy to keep working, and make my body go! I had the ability to cope, and perform under duress, and my body did what I told it, even as it was technically dying. There were times I was dizzy! There were times I felt nausia. But I could keep going... This is the power of the Gerson Therapy!

    Even then, at the end of the day, my wife nearly had to carry me to the car.

    Gerson is no silver bullet against all health problems! What Gerson helps people like myself do, is over come the health problems we run into! It feeds the body the mircro nutrients it needs to operate, to heal, and to cope in times of durress!

    I'm am happy! I am fortunate! I am blessed!

    For you non believers, I am very sad! Your medical knowledge and beliefs come from texts books published in the dark ages! In a time were bleeding the patient because they were sick was supposed to make them better! Where the philosphy of weakening people is supposed to strengthen them and make them better!

    When the bodies of your patinents run out of raw materils to repair themselves, do you really think a synthetic, inorganic chemical drug with no natural root to essential, natural, Nature made nutrients are going to work?

    I say No! I'm living proof as is my family!

    My sergion at the Hospital told me after my sergery, that I was healthier than 80% of the people at Washington Regional Hospital!

    "Doc" I said, "how can that be? I had appendicitis?" My Sergion just looked at me........

  6. You will note that in Gerson's original book, that a nurse felt sorry for the 'terminal' patients and smuggled in sausages to perk them up. Gerson could not understand why he was having setbacks in the results until he discovered the re-institution of these German meats into their diet. After halting this, they recovered.
    He mostly received terminal patients that were sent home to die by the allopathic 'doctors'.

  7. Good documentary. A little hokey..using "the boy said this" or "the boy that". We will have to use some critical thinking on some of their experiments but it is well known a whole food diet (and especially whole food and plant based) is the best for your health.

  8. What is this propaganda?? Made by scientologists? This a is pure sales pitch for this diet. Not science.

  9. How many of these doctors and 'big pharma' execs, are going to die from cancer or have family that will? A lot of them. They have no reason to hide a cure. Insurance companies would be pushing for cheaper cancer treatments if they existed. This doctor is quackery at its best. All natural cancer cure? I didn't now shooting coffee in to your butt hole was natural.

  10. it truly is disgusting how these people operate (the drug corporations, monsanto, and all the other giants willingly poisoning humanity). Truly disgusting people, I cannot even. God Bless Dr Gerson and his family.

  11. People are willing to sacrifice their long term health for short term comfort and convenience. I think the attitude is "I want what I want and I want it now, I will deal with the problems when they come up". The trouble is that most of these problems come up a hell of a lot sooner than we expected, and when they do come up, it's usually too late to deal with them with any kind of hopeful expectations.

  12. Or do I even have to ask. The greed and malicious intent of some in positions of power will be handled one day, by a far greater power than the blog. Be your own advocate, and think for yourself. No one else will. Pray for the sick and helpless.

  13. Well, I live in the USA, and it says this video is 'not available in my country'. A friend who also lives in the US gave me this link, and she had watched the video - which means recently it has been banned in the USA. WHY?????????????????

  15. Yes why in the world would drug companies want us to be healthy when they make their money off of sick people.
    Chew on that for a while.

    Reply
  16. Drug companies can't patent things that occur in nature, and ongoing treatment generates more money than a cure would. Anyone who thinks that the mainstream cancer industry isn't lying to them should consider these two simple facts.

  17. I agree with Alton - PLEASE watch this documentary on the absurd way our country is operated. I am appalled! I have been on a 2 week discovery. I am changing EVERYTHING about what I feed myself, my husband and my children. There is so much out there you just have to look, watch, absorb and make that change but most importantly get the word out and write our Congressmen and Senators and tell them NO more.

    Reply
  18. We all need to write our Congressmen and senators MANY times per year if necessary. We must make this a national issue. Millions of our brothers and sisters are dying, basically being killed by the incompetence of the system. We who know MUST be their champions! I Urge everyone to get the word out! I have. Please join me a Cancer sufferer who may die because of this travesty. I hope that I have not come upon this information too late.
