    We tried Gerson therapy for a very short time. It is almost impossible to follow. Also, we met someone who had MDS and followed the Gerson therapy faithfully for 8 months (his sister and part time hired help worked very hard to keep it up), not only it did not improve his blood profile, unfortunately he passed away with complications of MDS. We have incorporated some of the principals into our diet, including carrot-apple and green juices 4-5 times a week. But their complete protocol was too punishing for us. Try to eat healthy, eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies (if possible organically grown), but Gerson therapy is not the miracle that they claim it is. At least not for MDS.

    Good luck

    Your dad is very young. Why doesn’t he want a bmt? My husband has a lot of chromosome damage with RAEB 1 and is considered very high risk. We will begin the protocol tests the end of July for a double cord blood transplant since we could not find any adult matches.
