title: Organic food in cancer therapy.
abstract: This paper describes the principles of dietary therapy for malignant disease, as developed by a few medical pioneers since the 1920s, in particular by the late Dr Max Gerson, M.D. (1881-1959), who insisted on the exclusive use of organic produce in the treatment of cancer patients. Dr Gerson's claims for the therapeutic value of organic fruits and vegetables are reviewed in the light of current research.
