Most people in my home-town Swellendam, South Africa know of Dr Zaida Rivene, but only her patients know the remarkable woman who call Swellendam her home.
Dr Zaida, a dr of chiropractic, dr of naturopathy and homeopathic physician, as well as international veterinary chiropractic, moved to Swellendam with husband Jim Montrose, after a successful career, with a practice in San Francisco to “retire” on the Red Roan Ranch with their Egyptian Arab stud. However, her practice in Swellendam, with patients coming as far as Hermanus and Cape Town, has been keeping her rather busy.
This May Dr Zaida was honoured, to be invited to the Gerson Institute in San Diego, USA, as well as the Tijuana, Mexico clinic to fine-tune her experience of 30 years of clinical experimentation of Dr Gerson’s work and to implement it with all of her patients.
Dr Zaida was inspired by Dr Max Gerson when she started her practice in 1981 after reading his book “ A cancer Therapy” written in 1958. He had amazing results by using a plant-based food program which consisted of 8-13 fresh squeezed fruit and veggie juices a day, oatmeal, veggie soups, baked potatoes, and slow cooked veggies, with no salt, caffeine or oils. Also having coffee enemas 3-5 times a day to cleanse the liver to release more toxicity into the colon. All based on the knowledge that the body is able to heal itself when the body is allowed to be in an alkaline state. Incidentally Dr Otto Warburg received a Noble Prize in 1931 for his work on proving that cancer cells grow in an acidic environment due to the fact that they live without oxygen, whereas healthy tissue need an alkaline, oxygen rich environment to flourish.
Dr Zaida has helped her patients with this knowledge that there is no need to wait for a disease to create - a plant-based food program is for everyone.
Her immense knowledge of her field and dedication to her patients has not only allowed her to help them heal physically, but also to change their lives in changing their attitudes. For most of her patients, Dr Zaida has been doctor, mother and mentor, inspiring them to follow their dreams – no wonder a patient of hers is currently studying chiropractic at the University of Johannesburg.
Dr Zaida, I’m sure I can honestly say on behalf of your patients in Swellendam, we thank God every day for bringing you in our lives. We are immensely grateful and extremely proud of you for what you have achieved in your field, for the benefit of us all.
