Gerson Therapy

Bread

Bread is allowed on the Gerson Therapy in small amounts, not to replace a meal, but to provide a little extra if the patient has consumed the full meal of the necessary, building foods. It is generally best not to try to bake your own bread because it is very time consuming. Since bread is not such an important part of the patient's intake, it is best to buy it ready-made. There is some organic sourdough, all-rye bread available now, without salt, which is ideal for the Gerson patient.  For more information on the rye bread and the recipe for making it yourself, see our Frequently Asked Questions.
