Claim · 2026 · Gerson Therapy
The Gerson Institute says Gerson Therapy can heal cancer by boosting the body's immune system.
The cancer component of the Gerson Institute’s current marketed claim was still displayed on its website in 2026. Memorial Sloan Kettering states plainly: “The Gerson regimen does not treat or prevent cancer.” Cancer Research UK’s current, dated position is: “There is no evidence to prove that Gerson therapy works as a cure for cancer.”
