This article tells the true story of Rebeka Maglionico, a woman whose brother was diagnosed with cancer. Her testimony describes how a fundamental change in eating — specifically switching to an alkaline diet — affected his health.
Rebeka’s brother was only 38 years old when doctors diagnosed him with colon cancer. The prognosis was very unfavorable and the doctors openly told him that he had only a minimal chance of survival.
The diagnosis was a shock even to the doctors themselves, because he was very young for this type of oncological disease.
Traditional treatment and its failure
Treatment initially followed the standard route — chemotherapy, radiation and surgical removal of part of the colon. However, the side effects were extremely severe and his overall condition tended to worsen.
A year after the end of treatment the cancer returned. This time a tumor appeared on his back with metastases to the spine, which was rapidly spreading toward the brain. In addition to the original colon cancer he was also diagnosed with a secondary squamous cell carcinoma.
The most alarming thing was the speed of the disease’s spread. Oncologists recommended that he return home and spend the remaining time with his family, because in their words there was nothing more that could be done.
The threat of neurological complications
Surgery was not possible. Doctors prepared him for the gradual development of serious neurological symptoms, which included:
- loss of balance
- difficulties walking
- deterioration or loss of vision
- problems with hearing and speech
- epileptic seizures
- severe headaches accompanied by vomiting
Because he had a five-year-old son at home, he refused to accept passively waiting to die.
The advice of a colleague that changed everything
The turning point came when a coworker recommended he attend a seminar focused on healthy living and body regeneration. The seminar was held at the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida.
The only obstacle was the high cost. In an unexpected turn, however, his supervisor offered to attend the seminar with him and cover all expenses. So they traveled to Florida together.
After returning home, Rebeka’s brother decided to begin Gerson therapy and switch to an alkaline diet.
What is Gerson therapy
The basic idea of Gerson therapy is the belief that cancer arises as a result of metabolic disorders caused by the accumulation of toxins in the body.
According to Dr. Max Gerson, these changes occur especially with an excess of sodium and a deficiency of potassium, which leads to tissue damage and weakened organs.
The aim of the therapy is liver regeneration, restoration of metabolism and detoxification of the body through:
- a specific low-sodium diet
- high potassium intake
- fresh vegetable juices
- dietary supplements
- cleansing procedures
Alkaline diet and pH environment
An alkaline diet significantly limits the consumption of meat, dairy products, white flour and refined sugar, which have acid-forming effects. Instead, it focuses on fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.
In sick people the pH value of the internal environment (not the blood) often hovers around 4, which represents a strongly acidic environment. The ideal value is approximately 7.2.
It is known that cancer cells cannot grow or survive in an alkaline environment and in the presence of oxygen.
Results of the dietary change
In Rebeka’s brother the pH changed from 4.0 to 7.5 after only two weeks. A follow-up examination at oncology showed that the tumor on the spine had shrunk by approximately 75%.
After six weeks no signs of cancer were found in his body. The doctors were so surprised by the result that they simply told him:
„We don’t know exactly what you did, but keep doing it. There are no longer any signs of cancer in your body.“
Conclusion
Several years have passed since the recovery. The man regularly checks his pH values and, if necessary, briefly returns to a stricter alkaline diet to maintain the body’s balance and prevent further problems.
This story shows how crucial a role lifestyle and nutrition can play in the fight against serious illnesses.
