Thank you for your interest in the Gerson Practitioner Training
Program. The purpose of this program is to train qualified
medical professionals who are committed to guiding and medically
managing people while on the Gerson Therapy. What you will learn
is not a tool to be added to other therapeutic modalities, but
is a comprehensive Therapy that must be kept pure and followed
strictly for successful results when working with Gerson
patients.
Currently the training consists of two modules with an
optional third continuing education experience. For more
information on these modules and fees, visit
medical
professional. Upon completion of Module I, we expect you to
enter Module II, which allows you to start seeing a limited
number of Gerson clients under supervision. Once you
successfully complete the first two Modules you can become a
licensed Gerson Practitioner and be listed on our Gerson
Institute Approved Referral List.
To be eligible for Module I, you must hold one of the
following credentials—MD, DO ND, DC, NP (nurse practitioner) and
the license must be current. Based on past experience, we have
found those who do not have the appropriate medical background
do not have the ability to do proper case management. Many
Gerson clients are very ill and have a variety of metabolic
abnormalities that require astute medical diagnostic and
management skills.

It does require a great amount of time and expertise on the
part of the practitioner to guide people on the Gerson Therapy,
assisting them for up to and over 2 years. In addition to
knowing the underlying philosophy, physiology and medical
management, a Gerson Practitioner needs to know counseling in
the area of food and juice preparation, enema technique, setting
up a non-toxic home, and more. Therefore, before you can be
accepted into the training program, we require that you read Dr. Gerson’s book, A Cancer Therapy and Charlotte Gerson’s book,
Healing the Gerson Way. We also recommend that you view the DVD
The Gerson Miracle. Visit our
STORE to
order these books.
