    Write an essay relating the chronological story of your illness. Include all events preceding the onset of the disease that may have played a role in its development. Include toxic exposure, radiation, mental and emotional issues, relationships, losses- financial or human or animal- unfinished business, grieving process, unfulfilled expectations, set of values, conditioning, or other mental emotional issues. Also include treatments you undertook and the rate of their success. Write about your state of health during these last 20 years, and your projection for the future. Write about the appreciation of your illness as a teacher, what you have learned and what you still have to learn. Write about your will to live and what you would like to accomplish in the future. This essay is a very important step in gathering your strength for healing. YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE YOUR ESSAY DIRECTLY INTO YOUR ELECTRONIC CHART once you have your online profile.

    Cancellation and Refund Policy

    Please read the cancellation policy carefully. We adhere to it at all times. It is important that you are committed to the program and our policy is formulated to help patients stay the course.

    Cancellation Before Arrival Date

    Once your 50% deposit has been made, you may change the date of arrival before 30 days of the start date with no additional charge. Notify us and your deposit may be used up to 6 months from the date of purchase.

    Cancellations or changes to date of arrival made within 30 days before the check-in date will incur a $400 cancellation/rescheduling fee. One rescheduled visit is allowed.

    No refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of the check-in date.

    Cancellation After Arrival

    If cancellation is made after check-in, there will be no refund without a medical emergency. In case of a medical emergency, a credit for the unused portion of the stay will be issued toward a future stay within 6 months.

    Sessions, Procedures, Ecotherapy Trips

    In the case of booking tours and trips while at the retreat a 24-hour notice is required for cancellation of tours and trips to receive a full refund. When arrangements has been made with therapists and practitioners for sessions and procedures a 24-hour cancellation notice is also required to keep the session credit on your account.

    When patients start Gerson Therapy & Alternative Cancer treatment, we strongly encourage patients to complete the process. It is natural for the detoxification and healing process to be unsettling and uncomfortable. It is important to us to see patients through this. When people leave in the middle of the process the consequences can be detrimental to their health, both psychologically and physically. We find that resistance to change is strongest in the first few days. Our refund policy is intended to support your transition to health.

    Payment Policy

    We accept cash, cashiers checks, bank drafts or wire transfers for the first part of the payment and credit card, cashiers checks or cash for the second portion of the payment. Additional therapies and treatments, trips and other expenses will be billed at the end of the stay. Customers outside of the U.S. should wire the entire amount to Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center account prior to their arrival. Cashiers checks may be made out to Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center. We do not accept personal checks.

    Credit Cards Payments

    If you pay with credit card for the first 50% to reserve a program, additional paperwork will need to be completed and the original credit card will need to be presented on arrival.

    Third Party Payments

    Oftentimes third parties and family members wish to sponsor patients. In these cases additional paperwork with the third party is completed for authorization of telephone credit card charges and consent to financial responsibility.

    We look forward to assisting you on your road to recovery.
