"The Gerson diet is a very strict low salt, organic fruit and vegetable diet. Each person must drink 20 pounds (about 9 kilos) of crushed fruit and vegetables each day. Gerson therapists believe that people with cancer have too much salt in their bodies compared to the amount of potassium they have. They think that eating large quantities of fruit and vegetables will correct this imbalance and cleanse the liver. The idea is that the liver would then start to clear the body of cancer cells. It would be nice if the liver could filter out cancer cells from the body. If it did, this would certainly be an avenue of conventional cancer research. Unfortunately, it doesn't."
"Coffee enemas have been known to cause some serious side effects. They include
Infections
Constipation
Inflammation of the bowel
Salt and other mineral imbalances in the body and
Death caused by these problems"
These quotes are from the website of cancerhelp.org and there's no arguing with the quotes... J x

Fads. Faddiness. Fadularity. What a crock of crap. Following Mr Gersons reasoning is it the case that no vegetarians have suffered from cancer? What a steaming pile of poo.
(NB: Frank Gerson was the name of the actor who played the Riddler in 60's Batman. Is there a link? The Public Has A Right To Know!)
I can advise that having a less meaty diet does improve yer well being. Since moving in with Mark (a year ago this weekend - fact fans) my diet overall has improved imeasurably. I also eat less meat than I used too as Mark is a veggietablearian. And I feel better for it too. Hoorah. Mind you it is true about the wind ... ooh it plays havoc with me social life.
As for Colonic Irrigation ... I'm gasping and gurgling as I type ... the rich vein of comedy that it offers ... the chance for a truly rude bum joke ... ooh ooh...
Oh.
Jon, do whatever you think will make you feel good, it can't hurt can it?
... just make sure they warm the water first ... imagine the shock of a chilled bum squirt ... nobody likes a frappe do they?
oh dear.
