The Beautiful Truth

Dr. Max Gerson claims to be able to cure cancer.

The cure? Diet. Is this documentary an infomercial or the future of medicine? You decide. The Beautiful Truth has won many awards and been featured at film festivals. Yet, we can’t help but feel that there’s something not quite right about the good doctor’s research. The Beautiful Truth follows a fifteen year old boy named Garret who has recently lost his mother to cancer.  He lives with orphaned animals and feels an intense bond with these creatures. He studies diets and various organic cures for disease.  When his mother dies, he turns to despair and almost fails out of school. His father decides to take him out of school and home school him back to health.  The first assignment that he gives his troubled son is to study a controversial book by Dr. Max Gerson. The father knows how important finding a cure for cancer is to his son. He wants his son to think objectively and learn that there are people out there who may take advantage of you. But Garret takes the assignment deathly seriously and tracks down the dr. for an exclusive interview. A showdown, if you will. Garret’s conclusions will shock you.

    Doctors don’t want you to know that all you have to do is eat right to cure or prevent most illness. Just like dentists no longer tell you to stay away from candy and soda. I stayed away from candy and soda, never brush my teeth and have never had a cavity. I eat right and look 10 years younger than I actually am. Don’t take pills. Just eat real food.

      Do you think that ALL pills are bad? I agree with you that many pills are overrated – even dangerous – and that real food is the way to go. But you can’t possibly believe that pills and modern medicine is NEVER good for you? I mean, modern medicine can do some unbelievably beautiful and life-saving things.

    I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can’t see the video.

    Liked the doc, had to find it elsewhere; cause it wasn’t where it was suppose to be.

    There is something to be said for the north american diet; it wouldn’t be complimentary!

      The video has been fixed and now works. Thanks for letting us know. Glad you liked it!

    hi there!

    In my opinion this doc is full of pseudoscience!
    The Gerson method to fight cancer is dangerous and several people have died because of the treatment (witch includes coffee enemas) or by the lack of a real treatment for their cancer.
    This simplistic approach to fight this crippling disease is deceiving and not based on the scientific method of thorough research and peer review.
    Eating healthy food is certainly good for your health, but it is not a panaceia for these serious diseases!

    The music and soft speech gives it an aura of a “manipulmentary”….

    • joao alves

      lol
      I agree, and the scenes with his son also add a creepy layer to this “aura”!

  • Ben

    It’s quite interesting that at no point in an hour and a half does anyone attempt to explain the mechanism by which the cancerous cells are destroyed and removed from the patient. The Gerson Therapy comprises of organic juices and coffee enemas – the juices are sound health advice for anyone, but regular enemas are not medically reccommended for any ailment, least of all cancer.

    The proposed “declination” of dental health in undeveloped countries makes sense with regards to diet, but how is this in any way related to cancer treatment? Proof for medicine having greatly increased average human lifespan is evident in the statistics (I highly reccomend the website Gapminder.org), where diets have steadily become ‘worse’ as nations develop yet lifespans continue to improve. In China in 1930 the lifespan was 32 with a revolutions sweeping the rural provinces – 80 years later (or almost 3 of the previous generations) the lifespan is now 73 years.

    Cancer cannot be cured. Saying cancer can be cured is a complete and total misundertsanding of what cancer is. Cancer is not a disease, but an umbrella title for a very wide range of cell-growth related diseases. At any time and for literally no reason at all, a cell can fail to complete perfect mitosis. The vast majority of such failures result in cells either incapable of mitosis or simply non biologically active, it takes the slightest of changes in this genetic copying to create a cell which has altered properties capable of creating a tumor that could be referred to as ‘cancerous’.

    Cancer can be treated. Cancer can be beaten. Rates of incidence of cancer can be lowered through changes in diet and lifestyle, however there is simply no scientific evidence, at all, that such changes ‘cure’ cancer. Understand that to cure the cancer, not just treat or remove it, would involve changing the genetic structure of the tumor’s cells back to what they were originally.

    Poorly worded, anecdotal claims of success, frequent completely non-scientific segways into ‘amazing proofs’ for the treatment (especially the aura photos – seriously, who would have thought changing the organic structure of the food would alter the electric signature it created when exposed to ludicrously large amounts of specially induced current?). All in all, this documentary was an incredibly biased, loosely conspiracy themed, psuedo-scientific waste of intellectual effort, and I can only hope that it spurns genuine inquirey by anyone who watches it through is appaling lack of any meaningful conclusion.

    Thanks DocumentaryStorm! I love DocumentaryStorm.. XXX

    The bottom line is the majority of Americans eat very little nutrition. More veggies and little to no meat would make us all feel better.

    Now a few words about ‘science’: Is there ANYTHING science has accomplished that actually benefitted something else than merely humanity? I see no ‘scientific’ proof that it has. Au contraire, everything we touch tends to go to hell. Just the permanent disappearing of species alone has reached numbers unheard of, or at least unwitnessed before, all thanks to our invention of science, even simple science, like the invention of agriculture, and how irresponsibly we use it.

    What science will probably never understand, is why and how the ‘undercurrent’ of ‘life’s totality’ really functions. As long as we look at life and health merely with the instruments of science, we will always find ourselves on only a linear playing field. Life is more than that. So far we don’t even know how plants truly communicate, why and how they are affected by moods and emotions of other life-forms and how they ‘tap into them’. It is therefore not surprising that Dr Gerson had many detractors and critics. There is no evidence, that he was aware of a deeper meaning or how such deeper meaning works, but he seems to have been aware THAT there is more than meets the scientific eye, and that it works. Who cares about the rest? When a patient feels relief or even ‘fully recovered’, even if it is not explainable by science, what does the patient care? He/she feels healed, and that matters most.

    One thing our uncreative, linear life-conduct HAS achieved is that unless some ‘authority’ agrees with what we do, that doing is wrong. How dumb can a species get? It often seems that every bug lives life more fully than we do, especially if we believe that the greatest happiness will take place in a different and distant forum sometime in the future. So far, all we have accomplished is that most of us can live completely irresponsible and still reach age 76. No other life-form can do that. Thanks for that!
