Max Gerson (October 18, 1881 – March 8, 1959) was a German-born American physician who developed the Gerson Therapy, a dietary-based alternative cancer treatment that he claimed could cure cancer and most chronic, degenerative diseases. Gerson described his approach in the book A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases (1958).
The National Cancer Institute evaluated Gerson's claims and concluded that his data showed no benefit from his treatment.
The therapy is both ineffective and dangerous.
