Why
aren't any soy products permitted while on The Gerson Therapy?
While frequently viewed in a
positive light by health-conscious people, soybeans present
problems for the average Gerson patient and should be avoided.
Two problems exist: Soy products are usually high in protein
(something that is reduced to an absolute minimum on the
therapy.) Evidence has surfaced recently stating soy products
contain enzyme inhibitors. Since the Gerson therapy supplies
fresh juices and foods full of enzymes. and the therapy, in
part, works by encouraging enzyme function in the liver, any
substance that inhibits or suppresses enzymes is avoided.
