Meet Margaret Straus Dr Max Gerson’s Granddaughter
I had the pleasure of chatting with the legend Margaret Straus, Dr Max Gerson’s granddaughter and president of the Max Gerson Foundation. Margaret has been a driving force in promoting the Gerson Therapy in Italy and Europe. Margaret wrote an article that was published in a natural medicine magazine which generated a huge interest in the Gerson Therapy and she now supports medical doctors learning about nutritional medicine.
“It was simple a question of illuminating the competition... one doctor said ‘if we accept this the only people who get rich are the people who sell carrots’... Well do something else then... a bit more useful and less harmful.”
On the podcast we talk about German Soldiers eating plant-based food in WW2, the questions of industrial interests, overcoming migraines using food as medicine, and the history of Max Gerson. We also discuss the diets and nutritional intake that people need to be consuming to reverse chronic disease, including the possible need to reduce protein intake.
