Is the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center associated with the Gerson Institute / Clinics in Mexico and Hungary?
No, we are not associated or affiliated with the Gerson Institute.
Is the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center a Gerson Institute licensed clinic?
Dr. Baylac founded the Gerson program in Hawaii as an independent Gerson practitioner shortly after completing her training in San Diego and Mexico in 2002 and obtaining her Gerson certification. For several years, between 2004- 2008 she was affiliated with the Gerson Institute. Later on, weighing the options we chose to became independent from the Gerson Institute.
Does the Gerson Therapy at the Hawaii Naturopathic Retreat Center differ from the Gerson Institute’s Gerson Therapy?
No, the Gerson Therapy that we administer and teach DOES NOT differ from Dr. Max Gerson’s Therapy. It is the same nutritonal program with juices, food, coffee enemas, B12 and liver injections, and supplements. However, we added other synergetic procedures, such as Iscador and High Dose Vitamin C IV, that give a better chance of recovery in particular to advanced cancer patients. Read about our comprehensive program for alternative cancer treatment here.
What side effects should I expect when doing the Gerson Therapy?
Sometimes the liver gets overwhemed by in the process of detoxification and you may experience nausea or vomiting, especially if you had chemotherapy prior to doing the Gerson Therapy. You may also experience a fever or flu like symptoms. Those symptoms are usually temporary and are signs that the immune system is responding.
What’s the difference between your center and the one in Mexico?
The center in Mexico is a clinic, and may offer medical supervision around the clock. We rely on the US emergency system for situations that need referrals. We guarantee medical visits five days per week. A doctor is available on call during the week end. We offer a home like-place.
The Gerson Therapy, was designed by Dr. Gerson, it includes juices coffee enemas, B12 and liver injections and supplements. We have made an effort to preserve the original therapy and improve the quality of our products. We use certified organic food and supplements.Dr. Baylac is a Gerson trained practitioner. She got her certification in 2002 and has been in practice for 10 years in Hawaii.
The Gerson Therapy needs to be continued for at least two years. You will be well prepared to continue at home with our program. We offer cooking classes and the opportunity to take an active tole in the preparation of meals.
Dr. Gerson thought that the psychological aspect of cancer was important. We address stress and personal issues that may play a role in the healing process.
We are a small place, and only accept 6 or 7 people at the maximum.
We are not affiliated or conduct business with any Gerson institution.
We are staying current with research and offer other modalities that have shown to be successful in the treatment of cancer, such as high doses vitamin C IV, Iscador or Melatonin.

Do you treat this specific cancer?
Cancer is a systemic illness and the treatment is systemic regardless of the tumor site or the presence of tumor. We treat cancer systemically. There are individual variations based on the person’s energy or strength and the support the organ that may be affected by cancer.
What’s your success rate with cancer?
Research is typically conducted by drug companies on cancer drugs. Some research is available on the procedure that we are using.

The other procedures that we use such as Melatonin or Iscador or Artemisinin have more back up studies.
