Wow,
your post just gave me a flashback to junior high when I read
"Death Be Not Proud", by John Gunther, for English class.
_
Death Be Not Proud is a 1949 memoir by American journalist John Gunther.
The book describes the decline and death of Gunther's son, Johnny, due to a brain tumor. The title comes from Holy Sonnet X by John Donne, also known from its first line as the poem Death Be Not Proud.
...
John Gunther writes in Death Be Not Proud that Max Gerson never stated that his diet would cure someone of cancer, but his patients hoped it would and patients of the present day that follow the Gerson Protocol share that same hope.
The Gerson Institute’s website gives a brief history of its founder, Max Gerson.
•
He was medically trained in Germany. After finding success in treating leukemia and tuberculosis of the skin by changing the diet of his patients he expanded the idea and brought it with him when he emigrated from Germany to the US.
•
He made other claims of curing type II diabetes with his diet and eventually other diseases were brought into the mix including cancer.
•
If you happen to be someone who has been in the cancer world for a little while most certainly you are aware of the Gerson diet. If you have not been introduced then let me provide you some information. The diet that Johnny followed contained no fats, or salts, only vegetables. Today, the diet involves lots of juicing: carrots, a concoction of green plants, apples, oranges or grapefruit. The foods eaten are plant-based only. Supplements are an integral part of the program.

I just thought it was interesting that all the way back in the 1949's (and probably long before that, too) some doctors were very interested in finding out how what we eat effects not only our health, but how food effects/ "feeds or starves" certain diseases, too.
