It is with great sorrow that we report the passing of Charlotte Gerson. But it is with great joy that we celebrate and reflect upon her life. She was a charismatic pioneer of natural health and continues to be an inspiration to all who have turned to nutrition as an alternative treatment for chronic diseases.
Born in 1922 to Dr. Max Gerson, Charlotte has been a driving force behind the natural health movement. As a young girl, she was diagnosed with bone tuberculosis, considered incurable at the time. She was healed after following her father’s groundbreaking therapy, now known as the Gerson Therapy. This therapy utilizes a strict diet of organic food, juices, and supplements to activate the body’s natural immunity and detoxification pathways.
When her father passed away, Charlotte was determined to continue his work and dedicated her life to providing education and training to those battling cancer and other chronic diseases. In 1977, Charlotte founded the Gerson Institute, a non-profit organization committed to sharing the truth about the body’s natural ability to heal. She has also written several books, including an updated version of her father’s groundbreaking work, “A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases.”
Over the years, her integrity and determination have established her as one of the founders of alternative medicine. Today, we continue her legacy and celebrate her commitment to the truth. The human body has been endowed with remarkable abilities to fight and defend against disease. The right nutrition can help to activate these natural defenses, offering an alternative to toxic treatments.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlotte’s family, and we wish them well as they continue to further her cause. To learn more about Charlotte’s work, the Gerson Institute, and the Gerson Therapy, visit their website.

I didn’t know Charlotte Gerson had died. Such sad news. She brought healing to lots of ppl.
We’re so sad to hear about her passing as well, Jocelyn. She was dear to our hearts.
Please do keep her family in your prayers.
Blessings and love!
I’m so sorry to hear this. She seemed like a beautiful soul. Looking at the photo you posted, she looked over a quarter century younger than she actually was. I read recently that she never felt the need to go to a doctor. I think it shows.
Do you have any idea what she died of? I can’t even find her wikipedia bio.
Hi Karin –
She was a gem of a person.
We don’t know the reason for her passing. Only that she passed away peacefully on February 10, 2019 at her home in Italy.
Thanks for sharing your comment.
Blessings and love!
Thank goodness for Charlotte Gerson! If she had not been so determined to continue her father’s work, I feel certain it would have been lost. I can’t even begin to guess how many lives the two of them saved — and will save in the future. Just knowing the Gerson Institute exists and is accessible is my health-crisis security blanket.
Feeling heartbroken when found the story that she passed away. I just found her videos that taught me a lot, and now she’s gone. And people and I will continue on practicing those goodness in saving our lives and many more . I love this lady. Looking forward to see you in that glorious morning.
Thanks for sharing, Aiganapule. She was a very special woman indeed. She’ll always be in our hearts.
I’m saddened to learn of the loss of a great woman. I stumbled across her father’s work 9 years ago and learned of the Gerson Institute at a time when I was suffering from lipo sarcoma in my leg. Their protocol helped me tremendously and changed my life and way of thinking. I just wanted to stop by and thank Charlotte for carrying on Dr. Gerson’s work. May she now RIP.
I found the information. My goodness on a web search I didn’t find anything? It was following links on the Gerson site. You guys are the best.
Thanks
I find it odd that this is the only site I could find mentioning her death and commemorating her and her work. Why is this news not all over the internet, etc?
Hi Alison – you can also find info about this on the Gerson website: https://gerson.org/gerpress/mourning-charlotte-gerson/
This should be on the news as she was a gem of a person and a natural health pioneer, but unfortunately, it’s not. 🙁
I was thinking the same thing…I only found out through my e-mails from FMTV. I am so sad that such an icon has not been spoke of but through these sights. I am just amazed at what is considered news worthy and what is disregarded. Charlotte and her Father were such amazing influential people that have changed people’s lives and the health movement. I am saddened by such a loss, however, she may rest in peace and be reunited with her Father…Blessings!
Thank you for posting this. Charlotte like you simply love people. I never met her but like most others felt her live and wisdom. She has given me and my family hope direction By showing us how to eat and cleanse.
May her spirit strengthen all of us to spread the Gerson way
She was a true and wonderful woman who brought out to the world “true healing” about the number one killer disease and expose the pharma cartel about their multi trillion dollars business. Drugs never cure disease and neither chemotherapy. We will miss her so much and hope her legacy lives on , just as she did when she continued her father Max Gerson, pioneer works.
I agree someone who uses Gods creation the right way for healing others the natural way her transition from this Life should be all over the internet and the News I Thank God Almighty for Charlotte and her Father for there Courage to Enlighten people about the Truth.
Amen!
The passing of promoters of natural living with respect to diet are generally not publicized by the Orthodox Media. The latter generally supports the pharmaceutical, medical, and food processing industries and prefers not to publicize the deaths of individuals who eschewed such disease-promoting industries. The Orthodox Media prefers that such individuals leave us quietly without any publicity or fanfare so as to keep their health-promoting ideas as quiet as possible and hidden from the public. Thusly the aforementioned industries will continue to profit from sickness and disease unabated. Despicable but unfortunately true. God Bless Charlotte Gerson who has now joined her father in Heaven!
I had the privilege of attending a lecture given by Charlotte when she traveled to my area. It was an incredible experience that was recorded to DVD and made available to attendees. Those DVDs are a treasure that will be watched over and over. I know just how hard it is to espouse what she taught and how hard people resist the message, but still she persisted. We were fortunate to have her among us. She is having a well earned rest. Thank you Charlotte
The great controversy between good & evil heats up at the end. Truth is freedom. If u want to know what’s ahead, free online: EGWhite estates, Great Controversy final chapters. She wrote:that every principle of the constitution will be repudiated. We get to practice loving enemies who come to kill😯. God & freedom win! US is lamblike beast that speaks as a dragon Revelation 13:11. Great Controversy, final chapters tell what’s ahead.
This was such an amazing life. Thank God for the internet. I only stumbled on a clip of hers in 2024 and decided to read her up only to see she passed since 2019! Good to be able to benefit from her work years after she is gone. Kudos to the team that is working to sustain the great work she did.
