 History of the Gerson Therapy
In 1924 his success in treating tuberculosis of the skin brought an invitation from the noted thoracic surgeon, Ferdinand Sauerbruch, to test Gerson's diet in a special lupus clinic to be provided by the Bavarian government at the University of Munich.
Later extended to pulmonary tuberculosis as well, this Gerson-Sauerbruch-Hermannsdorfer diet was widely used in Germany and became the subject of Gerson's first book in 1934 (Gerson, 1934; Hildenbrand, 1987 communication).
In later years, after research began to provide explanations for Gerson's clinical observations, he quoted Churchill on the mistaken course of action he had thus avoided: "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened" (Gerson, 1958, 212).

In the late 1920s Gerson began successfully treating tuberculosis patients with the dietary regime he used for migraines, and, naturally, his work came to Dr. Sauerbruch's attention.
Sauerbruch announced in a number of the world's leading scientific journals that Gerson's dietary therapy was a cure for skin tuberculosis.
Even though he was told that migraines were unbeatable, he found that he could control them by avoiding certain foods and eating a low-salt, primarily vegetarian diet, with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

 Commonweal
To venture a grossly rough guess on the magnitude of the effect of macrobiotic diet in the instances when it appears helpful, it might be in the range of doubling the length of survival, which is the same rate reported by a number of the psychological interventions and, with some cancers, for the Gerson regimen.
So my guess is that a very broadly based macrobiotic diet is, at least for some vegetarians, including myself, healthier than other vegetarian diets.
Before moving gradually toward a broadly macrobiotic diet, I had for years eaten too many salads and raw vegetables, which left me feeling weaker and with a craving for oils and dairy products.
