"Benny's" remarkable recovery from idiopathic hepatitis and aplastic anemia.


So many children are ill and are treated with orthodox medicines, worsening their problems. This is the story of a 9-year old boy, whose name we changed since he is a minor. We will call him Benny.

As told by his father in May 2008:

Benny was a healthy child until March 2006. At that time, he was diagnosed with idiopathic hepatitis. ["Idiopathic" is defined in Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary as: "A disease for which no causative factor can be recognized."] His AST, ALT [liver enzyme] counts went as high as 2,500. The liver doctor (sic) prescribed Ursodiol, 250mg twice a day. This led to a lot of itching and after three days of using Ursodiol, the boy was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. His red blood count, white blood corpuscles and platelets took a huge dive.

The liver enzymes recovered somewhat and became normal by the end of April 2006. However, because of the low blood counts, he was started on platelet and red blood cell transfusions. Further, the hematologist wanted to start him on immuno-supressive treatments (ATG/Cyclosporin) which we did not believe in. We did meet a patient who recovered without allopathic medicines from aplastic anemia. We also met a homeopath, and we started Benny on the natural way. He received an all organic diet, lots of juices, the castor-oil treatments, hot and cold compresses, homeopathics, etc. By May 2008, Benny had not received any allopathic medications for the past two years and his platelet transfusions stopped in October 2006. His last transfusion of red blood cells was in October 2007, six months ago. His liver (enzyme) counts are okay.

However, his blood counts (RBC, hemoglobin, platelets and white blood counts) are far from normal, just barely enough to avoid transfusions. Aside from that, he was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis in 2008.

During the last two years, Benny had several flare-ups, such as high fevers up to 104, skin eruptions, dizziness, throat pain, eye irritations, etc. We dealt with those by consulting with our homeopathic doctor and gave Benny juices. We already followed a lot of the Gerson Therapy principles after reading the Gerson books. Now Benny is daily receiving juices made by the Norwalk juicer (apple+carrot, greens+apple) as well as barley greens and fiber supplements.

His progress is very slow, and his hemoglobin is still very low, only around 7.2, so we are worried that it could fall further and he would need to go back on transfusions.

Charlotte Gerson reports:

In May 2008, Benny started on the strict Gerson Therapy. We were delighted to obtain this latest report from another patient whose son is a good friend of Benny's. Benny's hemoglobin is almost normal, his osteoporosis is clearing, he looks and feels well, and, as reported, "one would never think that he had been seriously ill."
