FAQ

Is the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center associated with the Gerson Institute / Clinics in Mexico and Hungary?

No, we are not associated or affiliated with the Gerson Institute.

Is the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center a Gerson Institute licensed clinic?

Dr. Baylac founded the Gerson program in Hawaii as an independent Gerson practitioner shortly after completing her training in San Diego and Mexico in 2002 and obtaining her Gerson certification. For several years, between 2004- 2008 she was affiliated with the Gerson Institute. Later on, weighing the options we chose to became independent from the Gerson Institute.

Does the Gerson Therapy at the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center differ from the Gerson Institute’s Gerson Therapy?

No, the Gerson Therapy that we administer and teach DOES NOT differ from Dr. Max Gerson’s Therapy. It is the same nutritonal program with juices, food, coffee enemas, B12 and liver injections, and supplements.  However, we added other synergetic procedures, such as Iscador and High Dose Vitamin C IV,  that give a better chance of recovery in particular to advanced cancer patients.   Read about our comprehensive program for alternative cancer treatment here.

What side effects should I expect when doing the Gerson Therapy?

Sometimes the liver gets overwhemed by in the process of detoxification and you may experience nausea or vomiting, especially if you had chemotherapy prior to doing the Gerson Therapy.  You may also experience a fever or flu like symptoms.  Those symptoms are usually temporary and are signs that the immune system is responding.

What’s the difference between your center and the one in Mexico?
