SUMMARY

Independent academic-popular history article, fetched directly; byline, title, and 17 July 2025 publication date read from the page itself. Science History Institute is an established history-of-science research institution. Used for Gerson's emigration chronology, his 1938 New York settlement and Park Avenue practice, his application of the dietary approach to cancer beginning in 1928, the advanced-cancer promise in his 1958 book, and confirmation of the 1953 malpractice-insurance cancellation and 1958 suspension.

NOTES

An independent, directly-fetched 2025 history-of-science magazine article on Max Gerson, used to corroborate and add detail to the Wikipedia biographical account, particularly the emigration timeline and the 1958 book’s stated purpose.
