She had undergone two weeks of tests hoping to learn what was causing the spasms, numbness, tingling, and other neurological symptoms that had left her barely able to walk on her own. "Well, Ann," he said, "the good news is, you don't have cancer. The bad news is . . . you have multiple sclerosis."
With those words, Ann became a statistic, one of an estimated three million people worldwide--500,000 in the United States alone--who are afflicted by the debilitating disease of multiple sclerosis.
". . . incurable . . . experiment with chemotherapy . . . slow the inevitable deterioration. . . ."
He went on speaking, but she was in such shock that his words made no sense to her. Traditional Western medicine had failed to cure mher of serious mononucleosis five years earlier. Ann had no confidence that it could help her now.
Ann left his office, and after two weeks of physical suffering, mental turmoil, and emotional torture, she turned her back on the traditional medical treatments for MS. She was only twenty-four, and terrified, but she refused to accept the prospect of spending her life in a wheelchair. "I will not be another MS statistic," she promised myself. And slowly, bit by bit, Ann created her own self-care program based on integrative medicine methods.
Four tumultuous years later, Ann Boroch reversed MS.
Ann learned what we believe at Food Heals to be true: health is more than just the physical body. Health means a balance of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. When you experience a chronic disease, all facets of the self must be examined. This means moving beyond the symptoms to address diet, lifestyle, stress, exercise, negative thoughts, fear-based emotions, and self-limiting belief systems.
Eventually, Ann hopes, the usual paradigm in Western medicine will shift to a realization that even if two people have the same disease, they must be treated as individuals based on the knowledge that each person's history is unique, that health is more than just treating the physical body, and that it is essential to go to the root cause. Then cures will be the rule, not the exception to the rule.
Ann teaches us that health is a choice. Yes, the body has an innate inner intelligence that works at keeping itself balanced through the process known as homeostasis. But this is not enough to maintain health if you are making unhealthy choices, entertaining negative thoughts, bombarding your body with depleted foods, overwhelming it with stress, and holding on to fear-based emotions. Whenever you make the apparently simple choice of what to eat each day, you are actually choosing whether you want health--or not.
Even as Ann took the first steps on her healing journey, it was clear to her that she would be moving not only toward achieving recovery, but also toward helping others to move through the complexities of autoimmune disease.
With her newfound knowledge Ann became a nutritionist and naturopath with a fifteen-year practice, during which she’s seen thousands of clients for various health conditions. Based on both her personal and her professional experience, it is her responsibility, and her passion, not just to educate you about the causes of MS and how to reverse it, but also to inspire others with the knowledge that they can triumph and reverse chronic, degenerative disease.
Sadly, Ann Boroch passed away in 2017, but her legacy lives on through her books:

353: How Gerson Therapy Heals and Reverses Cancer and Chronic Disease with Dr. Vickers
Last time we learned the science and history behind Dr. Max Gerson, the most censored doctor in medical history. And in today's episode we will deep dive into what the Gerson Therapy is, how it heals the body, and how you can heal yourself with Gerson Therapy today.
Today’s guest, Dr. Patrick Vickers, is an expert on the indisputable, cellular science behind health and disease and the face of Gerson Therapy worldwide. He was trained by Dr. Gerson's family and is one of the few people to have studied Dr. Gerson's handwritten files. He continues to carry on Dr. Gerson's legacy through his clinic, The Advanced Gerson Therapy Clinic, in Rosarito, Mexico; the world’s premier clinic for the natural treatment of cancer and advanced disease.
The Gerson Therapy‘s all-encompassing nature sets it apart from most other treatment methods because it restores the body’s incredible ability to heal itself, rather than treating only the symptoms of a particular disease. By addressing the root causes of most degenerative diseases – toxicity and nutritional deficiency – the Gerson Therapy effectively treats a wide range of different ailments including cancer, obesity, autoimmune conditions, and a plethora of chronic degenerative diseases.
An abundance of nutrients from copious amounts of fresh, organic juices are consumed daily, providing your body with a super-dose of enzymes, minerals, and nutrients that is easily assimilated. In addition, raw and cooked solid foods are generously consumed. These substances then break down diseased tissue in the body, while coffee enemas aid in eliminating toxins from the liver. Oxygenation is usually more than doubled, as oxygen deficiency in the blood contributes to many degenerative diseases. The metabolism is also stimulated through the addition of thyroid, potassium, and other supplements, and by avoiding heavy animal fats, excess protein, sodium, and other toxins.
With generous, high-quality nutrition, increased oxygen availability, detoxification, and improved metabolism, the cells – and the body – can regenerate, become healthy and prevent future illness.
