THE GONZALEZ PROTOCOL®
THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION

The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation preserves and extends his legacy — training Certified Gonzalez Doctors (Gonzalez Guardians) to carry this protocol around the world, and providing the research and education that patients need to make informed decisions about their healing.
Dr. Gonzalez built his approach on the pioneering work of Dr. John Beard and Dr. William Donald Kelley. We honor all three.

Testimonials on Gonzalez's Conquering Cancer Books
“The late Nicholas Gonzalez, MD got true lasting results with these cancers … even to the point of cure. Based on the pioneering research of Dr. John Beard, his protocol uses proteolytic enzymes, diet, and detoxification with impressive success. Conquering Cancer provides a roadmap for doctors and patients who want something other than chemotherapy and radiation — and not just ephemeral hope but lasting success.”
Sally Fallon Morell, President, The Weston A. Price Foundation
“Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez was a well-trained and compassionate physician, whose meticulous efforts resulted in documented benefits for scores of patients that were far superior to chemotherapy. His legacy lives on, and will stimulate others to investigate novel approaches that are designed to improve patient care, rather than corporate profits."
Paul Rosch, M.D., M.S., Chairman of the Board of The American Institute of Stress. Clinical Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry, New York Medical College.

Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D.
Nicholas James Gonzalez, M.D., was born in Flushing, New York, and graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist, first at Time, Inc., before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia. He then received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. During a post graduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered the father of immunology, he completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer.
In private practice in New York City from 1987, Dr. Gonzalez treated patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses. His nutritional research has received substantial financial support from Proctor and Gamble and Nestlé. Results from a pilot study published in 1999 described the most positive data in the medical literature for pancreatic cancer. He died in July 2015.
