Charlotte Gerson, daughter of renowned physician Dr. Max Gerson, talks about diet, health, natural healing.
Charlotte Gerson’s clinic has helped thousands of people overcome terminal cancer and other “hopeless” diseases and illnesses.
In this video at the age of 89, she is healthy, active, clear eyed, vibrant without any physical maladies, illness or other supposed age-related diseases, aches, pains.
“Fresh, organic, vegetarian, good living poison free raw nutrients are the only things the body needs to work on. The human body is NOT designed to work on white pasta… chemicals, salt, flavor enhancers… those things don’t nourish the body, these poison the system.”
Charlotte Gerson exclusively drinks fresh, living juices with living, enzymes, elements, minerals and vitamins and exclusively eats vegetarian, fresh, natural, organic foods. In this form, the body can absorb and utilize the nutrients properly.
She shares how her father cured his own congenital migraine headaches with a salt free, vegetarian diet.
Later, he discovered his special diet cured others with migraines as well, and that his special diet cured tuberculosis, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, allergies, kidney problems plus a host of other acute and chronic, even certified “incurable” illnesses.
Doctor Gerson realized that he was not acturally treating or curing these afflictions, but was rather, helping all the body’s systems to reactivate the body’s own healing mechanisms. This is where he parted with orthodox medicine and chose to treat with dietary methods.
Fred is 80 years old. He has regained eye function after a special diet of raw, organic, fresh pressed greens and vegetable juice, smoothies and a diet of fresh, raw, organic food. In the video below, Fred describes how his new diet has changed in life, performed miracles, and helped him regain some eye function and focus after only 21 days.
Fred has had eye problems for years. He has now thrown away all his old food (something he has never done for his entire life), and vows he will never return to his old way of eating.
He also has added using an oxygenator for his eyes, and is determined to do all he can to regain his full eyesight and live a full, happy, enjoyable life. In this video, he is accompanied by Arnold of Arnold’s Way, a raw food restauranteur and spokesman who has helped thousands regain their health and find a new lease on living, a life they never thought they would have another chance of experiencing.
This is an absolutely excellent cookbook with truly delicious recipes that are easy to make. Mimi’s pictures are both helpful and beautiful. This is fast becoming one of the most popular raw food cookbooks today.
Mimi Kirk - Beautiful, healthy, energetic at 72 years old.
VIDEO COLLECTION OF MIMI KIRK
OFFICIAL WINNER OF THE “SEXIEST VEGETARIAN OVER 50 AWARD”
Updated: January 28th, 2012 (Mimi is now 73 years old : )
Mimi Kirk is beautiful, vibrant, healthy and filled with the energy of a teenager. She’s also 72 years old, born in 1938. She never ceases to amaze people (more…)
It has come to light that Ayda Clarity (also known as Adya Clarity), a popular product distributed as a health panacea and liquid water purifier may actually be diluted battery acid with extremely high levels of aluminum and iron (more…)
Jerry Rosman, a farmer and pig breeder in Iowa, discovered that feeding his pigs genetically engineered and modified corn was causing false pregnancies leading to their permanent sterility. He subsequently lost his farm due to bankruptcy and now advises other farmers on how to avoid such a calamity by using natural or organic growing and feeding methods.
What can these corn and grain products do to humans?
Another question – Will there be any negative effects from eating such meat from animals fed this genetically engineered corn?
Such genetically altered foodstuffs may contain estrogen mimicking compounds. These corn products are used within many storebought foods, including frozen corn, processed corn meal, fructose and corn syrup byproducts, tortillas, breads and more.
It is our belief that, should one decide to eat pork, that they buy from farmers who have fed their animals the best, natural, organic feed and allow their animals to live in a natural, open environment free to roam and raise their young. Meat derived from such animals is far superior to meat from stressed, cramped, abused, diseased and chemically-fed factory farm raised animals.
Freelee Vegano, as she likes to call herself on Facebook, aka Freelee Fruitionist (she doesn’t use a real last name), is an entertaining, free spirited and ardently vociferous spokesperson for the vegan lifestyle and animal rights.
She herself, once an avid meateater and extreme “chubbie wubbie,” with innumerable health issues so severe that they nearly drove her to contemplating suicide, overcame all her health challenges with a very special raw food fruit diet as espoused by Dr. Doug Graham’s 80-10-10 diet.
She now is one of the raw food vegan world’s most attractive women, slim yet full figured, an athlete in her own right, unrelenting in her pursuit of good health and helping others overcome their weight and health issues to attain Vegan Health Nirvana. : )
Below is one of her most recent videos as she “tells it like it is on how to make yourself sick and ruin your health” with her unique brand of delightful, entertaining and edutaining tongue-in-cheek candor. Be surprised and delighted. : )
This is the book that Freelee considers her “health Bible.” It goes where she goes on her travels, and she readily admits referring to it constantly.
Comment from a reader:
“I guess the most compelling thing about this book is that by the end, the diet proposed within seems like a no big deal, normal, almost. It’s like a secret hiding in plain sight.
That’s amazing considering how truly rare it is to eat in such a way. Go out into the world and you will see it is borderline revolutionary.
I have applied these principles and experienced nothing but positive results for myself- If it were not so I would never write such a review. I must say thanks to Dr. Graham for putting this out there for everyone to benefit from.”
After several years of consistent usage with induction cooking, our frying pan coating began to flake off with increasing severity.
We contacted Scanpan and sent images of the damage to Scanpan’s West Coast distributor. We returned the damaged pan and received a replacement within 4 weeks.
Our original Scanpan 9 inch pan also began to flake. We have not contacted Scanpan about this pan.
We have a 8 inch Scanpan pot which has a different type of coating which is not peeling or flaking, but now allows foods to stick rather severely making clean-up a difficult chore with a great deal of scrubbing. Evidently, the pan easily coats with mineral deposits from almost any simmering or boiling. We have not contacted Scanpan about this, but may do so in the future.
Our updated summary:
We found Scanpan to be immensely useful during the first few years of purchase. We also find their warranty service for one pan to be more than satisfactory. However, we would recommend that the surfaces of the pan be made with greater durability with longer term, non-stick performance.

Just in case you cook even a wee bit… this cookware is the best we’ve ever seen and used. A bit pricey, but worth it. Can be used with induction stoves as well as gas and electric. This pot can go in the oven, as well.
On occasion, when one wants to cook or warm a stew or soup, this is perfect. Cleanup is an absolute dream. No flavors are imparted into the food unlike our surgical steel pots and pans.
Scanpan’s patented titanium nonstick surface is so durable that it has a lifetime guarantee. But what’s particularly important is that it does NOT outgas any toxic fumes even when overheated which is usually characteristic of nonstick surfaces.
We use this amazing pot to make special stews for our dog as well as prepare meals for friends and family who prefer cooked food. This Dutch oven size is probably the most versatile in any kitchen.
No liquids are needs to braise or even fry. The flat bottom is a perfect size to warm tortillas or flatbreads.
We have mainly only 2 pots – our two beloved SCANPAN® pieces – a 9 inch frypan and the 5 1/2 quart SCANPAN® Dutch oven, considered the most useful and versatile of sizes. We could actually sell our frying pan and actually use the Dutch oven for all purposes. But, due to the lightweight, the frypan is a luxurious extra.
Pricing is high, but this cookware is a once in a lifetime buy you can pass on to generations. This is absolutely phenomenal for nonstick cookware. SCANPAN® claims this nonstick is unfazed metal utensils, but we try to avoid metal and instead opt for wood, nylon or silicone.
We also have campware for light backpacking. So, all in all, we have 2 pans and backpack cookery. That’s all we need to feed anyone who comes into our kitchen. : )

Scanpan Cookware – 9 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 inch – Great for low induction heating, warming
For anyone that does any type of cooking, these pots and pans use titanium nonstick interiors that do not outgas or create any toxic fumes.
Raw is definitely good, but on occasion when one wishes to cook, this cookware is unparalleled.
“Scanpan introduces the world’s first induction-safe, certified PFOA-free “green” nonstick cookware of heavy-gauge 7-ply construction for professional and home kitchens. Ultra-smooth ceramic-titanium nonstick interior is superior in the quick-release of foods, and so extremely durable, metal utensils will not damage the surface. Versatile Scanpan CTX Dutch oven is a kitchen essential for braising, stewing or baking casseroles and pasta dishes and simmering soups or chili. Straight sides make maximum use of the cooking area to prepare all-in-one meals. Patented titanium nonstick surface developed by Scanpan not only offers foolproof release, the silky-smooth interior and extra-thick exterior will not warp, peel, blister or crack.
Green TekSCANPAN® – 100% free from PFOA and PFOS
All SCANPAN® products are 100% free from PFOA and PFOS, from production to final product.
As a part of their on-going product development, SCANPAN® developed a few years ago in cooperation with their suppliers a new coating – Green Tek. This coating is from raw material to final product completely free from both PFOA and PFOS and form, in conjunction with their patented ceramic titanium technology, an exceedingly resistant non-stick surface.
Prior to Green Tek, PFOA supported the polymerization of PTFE. However, during the production process PFOA exuded, so that the final product was PFOA-free.
PFOS has never formed part of the production process of SCANPAN® products.
Made with 7-layer pressure-cast aluminum and stainless-steel for excellent heat distribution, this cookware provides outstanding heat retention without hot spots. The integration of tempered glass with a wider stainless-steel rim on the lid lets you monitor the cooking process while providing greater retention of heat for precise cooking. Side vents conveniently release steam. Inner rubberized seal adds to the durability of this contemporary Danish-made design. Smooth curvature-design handles stay cool to the touch and are a greater height from the glass for ease and additional safety in handling, and riveted underneath the lid, adding to the sleek appearance of the Scanpan CTX cookware. Brushed stainless-steel finish. Dishwasher-safe.
Out with bulging pots – in with perfect heat distribution
SCANPAN uses a unique casting technique that integrates the optimised induction base with the aluminium core of the pots. This ensures optimum heat distribution when either boiling or frying, and that perfect results are produced in record time while preserving the juices and flavours of the raw ingredients. The IQ range can be used on all heat sources, including induction, and is ovenproof up to 500° F.

About Green Tek Nonstick Technology:
In the more recent past, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the leading manufacturer of nonstick compounds to task over excessive emissions of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid). PFOA has been used as a catalyst in the production of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), the basic building block for all nonstick cookware surfaces.
PFOA is a chemical that is hard to break down in the environment. It has a half life of 3.8 years, meaning that if there are 4 grams of PFOA in the body today, the body will have 2 grams in it in four years from now, 1 gram in eight years from now and so on. The human metabolism does not remove PFOA. While it is not a carcinogen or toxin and is generally assumed inert and not harmful to your health, it is environmentally unfriendly and just sticks around forever. That is why the EPA and the leading nonstick manufacturer have agreed that by 2010, the amount of PFOA used to produce PTFE compounds need to be cut by 95%, and by 2015 no PFOA could be used, at all.
Towards the end of this process, PFOA is completely extracted via ionization filters. Even if any traces of PFOA were still present by the time the nonstick compound reached the cookware factory, the pan surface curing temperatures would destroy such remnants. The same is true for the old nonstick compound used for Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional. That’s why Scanpan has always been able to present the finished product as not containing PFOA.
Why Scanpan ?
Scanpan Cookware has always been PFOA free, but the negative publicity that PFOA and, by extension, PTFE had received over the last few years, had caused Scanpan to work closely with their suppliers to find a substitute for PFOA that is biodegradable. Scanpan received patents on PFOA-free technology in 2007 and has been producing Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional with this new process since spring 2007. With their new Green Tek technology, there is no PFOA used at any stage of the entire process, resulting in a “clean and green” nonstick PTFE compound, the production of which no longer uses chemicals that could have a negative impact on the environment.
The performance of the Scanpan Green Tek surface is not different in any way from the performance of Scanpan’s previous surface. And Scanpan continues to incorporate their patented ceramic-titanium technology. Scanpan is safe to use with metal utensils and each piece comes with a lifetime warranty.
Taking Care of Scanpan Professional Cookware:
1. Before first use, remove all packing materials, labels, and tags, and wash pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
2. Heat pan to working temperature. Medium heat is typically sufficient for frying and sauteing. Since each stove top has its own settings, find the best heat setting for your stove by starting at a lower setting, then gradually increase until water splashed on the pan surface evaporates immediately with a sizzle. High heat can be used for other applications, like boiling water, stir frying, oven roasting etc. Note: Scanpan Professional is oven safe to 500 degrees F.
3. Scanpan Professional can be used without oil, butter, or other seasonings, making it especially suitable for low fat diets.
4. After use, remove food and clean Scanpan cookware with warm, soapy water. Scanpan Professional wipes clean with a sponge. Scanpan Professional is dishwasher safe. Scanpan recommends using extra care if you decide to clean the pans in the dishwasher to prevent damage to plates, glassware, etc.
5. When storing Scanpan cookware and nesting (placing smaller pots inside larger pots) is required due to space limitations, Scanpan recommends placing a paper or cloth towel between the pots and pans to prevent scuff marks.
