A member asked:
Why are modern day u.s docs so against gerson therapy and so for pushing antibiotics and steroids?i know first hand the therapy is a miracle in itself
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited data: Much of the data in regards to the gerson therapy is not considered the type of study, as in the randomized control study, that is considered the gold standard for assessing efficacy(effectiveness). Much of the studies are retrospective studies (reviews of past cases) which has inherent issues for assessing effectiveness.
