Cystic Fibrosis and the Gerson Therapy
Zoey stimpson’s inspiring HEALING STORY:
Background:
Zoey Stimpson is not just a Wellness Mentor, Trauma-Informed Transformational Facilitator, Somatic Healer, Embodiment Guide, Birth Doula, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Certified Coach - she is a testament to resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Zoey's journey towards reclaiming her health and well-being is not just a personal one; it is a story of empowerment and hope for those battling Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting the cells responsible for producing mucus, sweat, and digestive fluids. It causes an excess production of mucus, making individuals highly susceptible to infections. In Canada, one in every 3,600 children is born with CF. Zoey had lived with CF her entire life but was only diagnosed at the age of 37, after years of suffering from sinus infections, pneumonia, and numerous hospitalizations. Despite the challenges and misdiagnoses by doctors and specialists, Zoey's spirit remained resilient.

With a desire to break free from the cycle of sickness and hospitalizations, Zoey reached a pivotal moment in her journey when she decided to explore alternative healing methods. Zoe met Nicolette and led her to discover Gerson Therapy, a holistic approach to healing that focuses on metabolic nutrition, detoxification, and natural treatments.
Zoey embarked on the Gerson Therapy, with the help and support of her husband, Mike. In the podcast episode of our Eat Real to Heal, Zoey and Mike delved into discussions about healing salts, the impact of CF and Estrogen, the practice of coffee enemas, and the critical importance of self-advocacy in the medical world. Zoey shared her experiences of living with CF, including the shock of realizing that antibiotics were becoming less effective over time. They also share their experience at the Baja Therapy clinic, where she was the sickest person and possibly the first patient visiting with CF. Zoey says she is blessed to be knee-deep in the Gerson therapy and describes her wholesome daily routine which 100% revolves around her health and healing.
The Gerson Therapy Journey
As Zoey immersed herself in the Gerson Therapy, her body began to respond positively. The therapy's focus on detoxification and nutrient-dense foods helped her expel excess mucus and fight off infections more effectively. This newfound strength meant that even when her children brought home germs, Zoey no longer succumbed to illness easily. The transformative effects of the Gerson Therapy soon became evident in Zoey's life. Zoey found herself no longer reliant on frequent hospitalizations or antibiotics. With her newfound vitality, she resumed activities such as traveling, previously hindered by her health challenges.
The impact of Gerson Therapy was profound - Zoey found herself no longer hospitalized every month, a stark contrast to her previous routine. The therapy was not just managing her CF symptoms; it was providing her with a newfound sense of control over her health.
With the Gerson Therapy working effectively for her CF, Zoey embraced a wholesome daily routine centered around her health and healing. She describes it as a blessing, allowing her the time and opportunity to continue her search for a cure for CF.
“As my body is healing, I’m removing a threat, that my body is constantly fighting, and the threat is not just CF, it’s the tonicity, it’s the nutrient deficiency. mind-body connection, your biology is your biography, your biography is your biology, so they are just directly related and so if you can just trust and know that process and just how robust that is, you’ll never know until you’re in it, how well you’ll feel or how open you are to Gerson, even though it feels like so much, it’s is a lot, if I write it down on paper, there’s so much that happens in a day, [but] there’s a natural flow [and] cycle of doing it.” - zoey
