The Albert Schweitzer problem: why the most credentialled endorsement in alternative medicine history doesn't actually say what people think it says, and what Schweitzer was and wasn't claiming when he called Gerson a genius The biology of the protocol: what the sodium-potassium hypothesis actually proposes, where it intersects with legitimate cellular research, and where it quietly stops making sense before the brochure notices Survivorship bias and the testimonial economy: why every alternative cancer clinic in the world has a wall of thank-you letters, what that data looks like when an epidemiologist runs it, and why the people who didn't get better aren't at the reunion The peer review gap: why Gerson's results have never been independently replicated, what it would actually take to run a clean trial, and whether the abse…
