when the latter do not suffer from diabetes. In the study at hand no insulin was given, but the bloodvalues of Glucose or Glycated haemoglobin were frequently analysed.Eighth principleUse of proteolytic enzymes. The use of proteolytic enzymes has been deemed beneficial by severalauthors. It is aimed to inducing greater absorption of natural vitamins at the gastroenteric level andgreater immune responses against the patients’ tumour masses, as shown primarily by the GersonFoundation ( 749, 750, 1348, 1349, 1360-1362, 1411 ).Ninth principleUse of specific unsaturated fatty acids instead of saturated ones. Unsaturated fatty acids(Omega-3 in particular) appear to improve the functionality of cell walls, thus allowing naturalvitamins to easily penetrate diseased cells and induce apoptosis and other related actions, includinggreater absorption of glucose in patients’ cells and subsequent lower glycemic values in thebloodstream. Their effects are, however, much broader and multi-faceted, as evidenced by Pardini( 1647 ) and Noguchi ( 1654 ).The alpha-linolenic acid (vitamin F), for instance, is a cis-polyunsaturated fatty acid that iscontained in linseed cold-pressed oil: it is transformed into EPA and DHA (Omega-3 fatty acids)and is quite effective against malignant tumours, as shown by Pardini ( 1647 ); moreover, Noguchi hasproved that Omega-3 fatty acids, unlike Omega-6 fatty acids, help reduce tumour masses, althoughOmega-6 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids, too ( 1654 ).Tenth principleSodium/Potassium balance. The use of Potassium and Magnesium plays a vital role. In particular,the use of Potassium has already been discussed by several authors ( 1348, 1349, 1411 ) who followedGerson’s studies. The behaviour of human cells resembles more that of granules in a Potassium-Sodium Exchange than that of simple water pockets. In this context, Magnesium, Germanium ( 269 ),Selenium, Iodine and Silicium are fundamental minerals, too. Conversely, the smallest possibleamount of Sodium must be taken ( 749, 750, 1348, 1349, 1360-1362, 1411 ).NOTE: the Metabolic Therapy is NOT Complementary or Alternative Medicine but simplyEvidence Based Medicine. In particular, it is NON-Pharmaceutical Medicine, as it is free from thecommercial interests of chemo-pharmaceutical Drug Multinationals.Case historiesVery interesting is the comparison between the “METABOLIC THERAPY” and modernantitumour therapies, which are all based on Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery.As far as Gerson or Gerson-like therapies are concerned, a few useful LINKS are listed here below.Today the Gerson therapy is recognized by the American government. It is perhaps the most knowntherapy, above all in America (http://www.gerson.org). Famous is the scientific study conducted in1995 on 153 patients suffering from malignant melanoma, which demonstrated percentages ofremission much higher than those obtained with conventional therapies (40% of surviving patientsas against 6% with Chemotherapy). www.gerson-research.org/docs/HildenbrandGLG-1996-1/index.html30
