Product Description
In DYING TO HAVE KNOWN, filmmaker Steve Kroschel goes on a 52-day journey to find evidence supporting the effectiveness of the Gerson Therapy -- a long-suppressed natural cancer cure. His travels take him from Alaska to Mexico with stops in San Diego, New York, Japan, Holland and Spain. In the end, he presents the testimonies of patients, scientists, surgeons and nutritionists who testify to the therapy s efficacy in curing cancer and other degenerative diseases, and presents the hard scientific proof to back up their claims. Testimonies include: a Japanese medical school professor who cured himself of liver cancer over 15 years ago, a lymphoma patient who was diagnosed as terminal over 50 years ago as well as from noted critics of this world-renowned healing method who dismiss it out of hand as pure quackery. So the question that remains is, Why is this powerful curative therapy still suppressed, more than 75 years after it was clearly proven to cure degenerative diseases? The viewers are left to decide for themselves.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2011A thoroughly enjoyable documentary, well crafted & edited, with a great story line. Presenting the Gerson Therapy, a system of preparing raw & cooked foods for maximum health & cancer curing, the filmmakers studies lead him around the country & to Japan to interview both the naysayers & the proponents of this controversial diet. Wonderful juxtaposition of the establishment doctor "experts" (who have little nutrition education & are perhaps funded by food industry giants) with the Gerson doctors, who have collected massive data on nutrition & the healing of many diseases with a plant-based diet.
Dr. Max Gerson was a German doctor who began studying nutrition in the 1920s. He documented over 50 cases of curing cancers with his method of an organic raw food diet that cured(s) many cancers. His assistant turned out to be a spy (hired by another rogue doctor) who stole his manuscript of 50 Case Studies (of cancer cures) & poisoned him with arsenic. Dr. Gerson realized the manuscript was missing & he was feeling poorly, so he fired the person & then figured out he was poisoned by arsenic and cured himself well enough to spend the next two years recreating his manuscript, & then died from the effects of the poison. His daughter Charlotte got the manuscript published in 1958 and she has been carrying on his work in her San Diego clinic ever since. The Japanese are building two clinics based on the Gerson method, as they are more open to alternative methodologies.
I quickly bought the other related films on the Gerson's & I am reading the 50 Case Studies now. I also read The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell cover to cover, which changed his diet and I changed mine as well. I have cut my triglycerides in half in 3 months & don't have to go on cholesterol lowering medicine. Yay! My doctor was astounded & said to keep doing it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014I only heard about Gerson therapy today and just watched this documentary. I basically eat this diet and have been for 40+ years. When I was in my 20s I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was told I needed a hysterectomy. I had just been to a lecture by Ann Wigmore (google her) on natural healing with the same diet but also using wheat grass juice and sprouts. I went on Ann Wigmore's diet and 3 months later had another biopsy this time the doctor could find no cancer cells. At the first diagnoses he did not look kindly on me delaying surgery but I needed time I ask for only 3 months. When I returned and we got different results I told him how I had changed my diet and life style. His response was that the lab must have made a mistake and that I must have never had cancer. Well maybe so but that misdiagnoses would have sent me on a childless path which I was not willing to do. If nothing else this diet makes you feel good, lots of energy, clear thinking and maintains a healthy weight now does it cure disease? You connect the dots yourself, I did and at 67 I have lived a healthy disease free life. Meanwhile I have watch almost everyone I know develop heart disease and cancer. Today a body has to be at optimum health to stay disease free with all the toxins we are bombarded with. Just look at what people eat today and there is no question that illness is directly related.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2010This is a powerful documentary about the Gerson Therapy and how it's cancer cure has been (and still is) suppressed in the USA.
The cancer industry does not want you to know that you can prevent and reverse cancer and other diseases through a healthy diet which consists of organic fruits and vegetables. There's too much money to be made from chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and patented drugs for cancer patients and it's just not profitable to market fruits and vegetables that cannot be patented.
This documentary shows opinions from both sides, those in favor of the Gerson Therapy and those against.
Dr. Dean Edell, Dr. Wallace Sampson and Dr. Stephen Barrett who are against the Gerson Therapy, dismisses the Gerson Therapy as quackery.
On the other side, to name a few: Dr. T. Colin Campbell (Author of The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health), Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn (Author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure), Dr. Andrew Saul (Author of Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing That Works) and Dr. Carolyn Dean (Author of Death by Modern Medicine (All about Book).
What is good to know is that the Gerson Therapy is accepted in Japan and is being used to treat cancer patients in a few hospitals there.
For those who are interested in related DVDs or books after watching this documentary, here's a list:
The Gerson Miracle, The Beautiful Truth, Healing Cancer, The Gerson Therapy: The Proven Nutritional Program for Cancer and Other Illnesses, Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases, A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases and the Cure of Advanced Cancer
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2013This was a fascinating book. Very valuable information on eating and what bad food can do to your system. Would be very hard to follow considering the state of our food and the expense. Still it was very well done, factual and easy to keep your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film :-)
It greatly enhanced my views that good food can frequently be the best medicine available. I've studied the Gerson Therapy a bit more in depth since seeing the film (I actually borrowed a DVD from someone else and am now shipping her a new one since it's hard for me to reach her) and am not sure about all of it, but there's definitely a lot that I found to be quite interesting in the film and the Gerson Therapy. Well worth it :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, thank you
I was very happy that despite coming from USA this DVD worked with no problem on my European player. A very interesting documentary that the leaves the viewer to make his own mind up about the controversey. It seems obvious to me that the Gerson therapy works and has v good logical reasons why it would. Unlike a drug type medicine it is not possible to submit this type of treatment protocol to a double blind study is it? How would you have some patients unaware that they are placebos if you're giving them enemas?

5.0 out of 5 stars A film that needs to be seen by everyone
I'm not one for pharmaceutical solutions as I find them to be temporary. The Gerson therapy, based on plant nutrition and well-being, really seems like the best solution for any degenrative disease. Anti-oxidants really is the key to good health. Why pharmaceutical companies quash this is very apparent. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has a brain and would like to stay in good health.
