Dr. Jan Newell, breast cancer, and her Gerson Therapy healing story
jan Newell’s healing story:
Background:
Jan Newell's life took a dramatic turn just as she was transitioning from her engineering career at BC Hydro into a new chapter in real estate. At a time when her children had moved out and retirement was on the horizon, Jan received the devastating news of a breast cancer diagnosis. Determined to explore alternative avenues of healing, Jan discovered the Gerson Therapy—a metabolic nutrition approach focused on the healing power of food.
Discovering Gerson Therapy:
Faced with the daunting prospect of cancer treatment, Jan embarked on a journey of scientific research and self-education about metabolic nutrition. The Gerson Therapy, known for its emphasis on organic fruits and vegetables, juicing, and detoxification, resonated with Jan's quest for a holistic approach to healing. Choosing to forego traditional chemotherapy and radiation, Jan committed herself to Gerson Therapy's dietary and lifestyle protocols.
Overcoming Cancer:
Jan's dedication to the Gerson Therapy yielded remarkable results. She triumphed over breast cancer without undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Through the healing power of nutrition and detoxification, Jan's health rebounded, and she emerged from her battle with cancer feeling stronger and healthier than ever before.

“Flood your body with abundant nutrition; juicing, one, number two, you got to detox, because the reason we are sick is because there are a lot of toxins stuck in the body… and if you are growing a garden, how do you attend the garden? You need to weed the garden. You need to rejuvenate the soil, so you can have good plants and harvest. “
-Jan Newell
