Abstract
Dr. B. Gettkant, director of the Schneberg tuberculosis sanatorium, also deals with pulmonary tuberculosis and the Gerson's diet (D. m. W. 1929, no. 43). Observing 20 severe pulmonary tbc patients, Gettkant came to the conclusion that in no case did the Gerson's diet affect the course of pulmonary TBK: 11 out of 20 people died, 8 remained inoperative, the process went ahead and the fate of 1 remained unknown; with the Gerson's diet there is undoubtedly an improvement in lupus, in bone and articular TBK, but not in pulmonary. As a great difficulty in carrying out a diet a. indicates the absence of salt: the TBC b-th already have a poor appetite, and desalted food, despite its best preparation, soon arouses disgust, and the b-th's appetite still falls.
