Gerson Treatment Centers


Gerson Therapy Treatment Center Options

I have been researching the different options available for starting the Gerson Therapy in an inpatient setting. Below, are the centers I have found and information about each of them followed by my thoughts of which one I think is best. I appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have regarding these.

Sedona’s/Honolulu's Wellness Retreat
A center in Sedona, Arizona that offers individualized advance therapy customized for a patient's needs and comfort. They will take care of me so that my time can be spent healing and learning. I will be sent home fully equipped to continue what I learned while there.  The therapy they offer is a detoxification and rebuilding program. They offer 14-day retreats for $5900 or a 21-day retreat for $7900. There is an additional charge for supplements, which ranges from $600-$1000. Travel will cost approximately $700.  The total cost for this treatment center is:
14-day retreat:  $7600
21-day retreat:  $9600

There is also a center in Honolulu, Hawaii that offers 14 ($5900) or 28 day retreats($8900). Supplements are an additional $1200. Travel will cost approximately $1500. The total cost for this treatment center is:
14-day retreat:  $8600
21-day retreat:  $11600


The Longevity Center
A facility located in Southern California that will teach me about the incredible healing power of the Gerson Therapy. I will be guided through the therapy by a professional in a nurturing environment where I will find a refuge from the harsh society filled with stress and toxicity.  It is not a sterile clinic or a huge resort. I will be given personal professional guidance that will lay a firm foundation to continue the therapy at home with confidence. I will return home rested and ready to continue healing.  I will go to classes and receive fresh organic juices and meals, supplements, and detoxification.  The program is 10 days and costs $5000 and includes everything I will need to get started on the Gerson Therapy. Travel will cost approximately  $600. The total cost for this center is $5600

Home for Health Lifestyle Center
Located in a secluded scenic setting (Kentucky) away from all distraction where I can take a break to focus on myself to restore my health. Here they have created an eclectic program, pulling the best parts of the Gerson Therapy, Dr. Shulze's and Christofer's herbal therapy, Dr. Reams biochemistry, hydrotherapy, massage, etc. This is supposed to create a synergistic effect being better than any of the therapies by themselves. This seems good in theory, but what I have read is that the Gerson Therapy has to be followed exactly to be effective, so I am not as confident about this center. The price is much better ($1000 a week and recommend staying at least 3 weeks) and is closer to home with travel being minimal if I drive (likely $200) and flights are around $225 for a total of $3225. Also, it is a religiously based program and I am not a big fan of listening to sermons.

This is a clinic operated by the Gerson Institute located in Tijuana, Mexico (30 minutes from San Diego). There I would be provided the complete Gerson Therapy to begin my healing journey. Three weeks are recommend and at least 2 weeks are required. The cost is $5500 per week and bringing a companion is mandatory and included in the price. While it would be great to go to this clinic, I just cannot justify the cost of the clinic alone. When adding on airfare around $1200 (for me and a companion) and that I would need a passport (and so would my companion), which is around $300 each if I remember correctly and takes at least a couple weeks to get. This would be a lot of hassle as well as a lot of money.


When comparing all the options, I think The Longevity Center would be my best bet.  I would prefer the stay to be a bit longer, but also appreciate not being away from Danika as long.  My uncle lives in California, so I would feel safer knowing I have family so close. I am also comforted by the fact that the center is run by a licensed physician that completed graduate work in biochemistry, nutritional chemistry, and human physiology, so he would likely understand my conditions from a traditional medical viewpoint as well as a naturopathic viewpoint. Dr. Stillings went through training offered by the Gerson Institute as well as an internship at their clinic in Mexico and has been administering the Gerson Therapy in an inpatient setting for the last 10 years. I feel I would benefit by establishing a relationship with this man in terms of at-home followup. Therefore, I need your help in raising $5600 so that I can go to this center.

  1. I went to the Longevity Center in May and had a great experience. I had bladder cancer and my urologist wanted to take my bladder out. I tried another round of BCG(not chemo or radiation) and 4 months of gerson and my bladder cancer is gone. Dr Stilling will spend many hours with you teaching you how it all works. He has since moved to Bloomington, ILL. Godspeed. lynn Ford "Gerson Girl" on Facebook

  2. Before the creation of the sedona method Lester was a materialist having been trained as a physicist. He only believed in what he could see and touch and had no spiritual or metaphysical interests. However, when he was confronted by his own mortality Lester began to question the meaning of life, his role on the planet and why he was here.
