I don't mean to revive this topic, but I just wanted to comment here because I have actually talked to the people at the Gerson Clinic in Mexico. I know, silly. When I first became concerned about the possibility of having OC I was terrified of the standard treatment and looking for any way out.

I wanted one thing from these people, and that was proof. They had so many success stories on their website, and a blog from someone who was supposedly cured. Now, I know that they can't give me information about patients, but I gave them consent to give out mine to anyone who might be willing to talk to me about their treatment and how they were cured.

Now, for me personally, if I were cured from any disease for a fraction of what standard treatment costs with none of the side effects, I would be telling everyone about it. EVERYONE. I would be touring the country giving speeches, showing all of my testing before, during, and after. They would have to off me to keep that s*** a secret.

Before I asked for this, I was receiving phone calls and emails from them several times a day. They pursued me constantly from the moment I contacted them. They offered to have someone pick me up here in San Diego and bring me to the clinic. I got to speak, supposedly, with one of the doctors. After I asked them if they could possibly give one of their successful patients my information to have them contact me, I got dead silence. I was told that wasn't possible and they pursued me no further.

I continued to call and email, offering options for ensuring they would have no confidentiality issues, they were uninterested and I never heard from them again. They didn't even offer to attempt it. If that isn't a red flag (aside from the others, of course) I don't know what is.

Anyhow, just wanted to share my experience and add another angle of insight to the topic. I really wanted to believe it was legit, but there was simply no way for me to convince myself after all that.
