(Editor's note: Max Gerson, MD was Nobel-laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer's personal physician. Dr. Gerson's life moved through the First World War in Germany, the resulting Great Depression, and flight from Hitler's persecution in the 1930's to the United States. That's why so many of his publications are in German. A very good introduction to his work (in English) is the movie Dying to Have Known (2006). You may watch the entire film free of charge at
