Naturally Restoring Health and Healing Disease
The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation proudly presents research and educational information about The Gonzalez Protocol®, Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D.'s nutritional enzyme treatment. This customized protocol establishes the conditions for health that will allow the body to heal from any disease.
Dedicated scientists and past patients fueled an invisible medical revolution ever since Dr. Gonzalez died in 2015. We call ourselves the Gonzalez Guardians as we guard and protect Dr. Gonzalez's legacy and the integrity of his protocols. Together, we now offer The Gonzalez Protocol® to doctors and patients around the world.
If you are new to this work, you can learn about it by watching this Future of Healing with The Gonzalez Protocol® video presentation by Andre Williams, M.D. and Mary Beth Gonzalez.
Without Dr. Gonzalez here to carry on his work, The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation shines a bright light on Dr. Gonzalez’s life-saving natural treatments and refuses to allow Dr. Gonzalez’s groundbreaking protocols be extinguished, altered or fade into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley and Dr. John Beard.
We seek to educate people on how to build healthy lifestyles with traditional diets. We are pleased to announce that several doctors from around the world have joined the Gonzalez Guardians and completed our 2021 Educational Seminar in The Gonzalez Protocol®. WATCH this short video from the June 2023 IHCAN SUMMIT in London, U.K. about The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation.

THREE Gonzalez Paths to Wellness...
Prospective patients who are interested in The Gonzalez Protocol® can learn more about how to become a patient here. This aggressive nutritional protocol requires a significant lifestyle change as well as a personal commitment to an individualized diet, nutritional supplement and detoxification routine. As a first step, the Gonzalez Guidance Group LLC will review your application and medical information to be sure that there is a reasonable chance that The Gonzalez Protocol® can be of help. You may start this process by reviewing what type of information to submit here.
Food is medicine but which foods? You can eliminate the guess work and learn exactly which foods are best for YOU by discovering your Gonzalez Metabolic Type. Dr. Gonzalez customized his patient's diets based on seven metabolic diets - ranging from more vegetarian (sympathetic dominant) to more carnivore (parasympathetic dominant). Take the online, multiple-choice test, Gonzalez Metabolic Type Test , and receive a detailed nutritional plan, cooking preparation advice and shopping list based on your metabolic type. Then once you know which foods are best for you, get The Gonzalez Protocol Cookbook which offers 150 healthy recipes organized by Gonzalez Metabolic Type. Order here.
Dr. Gonzalez dreamed of a new medical model based on nutrition, psychology, and spirituality. Gonzalez General Guidelines is an 8-page downloadable PDF with general advice that applies to everyone regardless of their metabolic type or disease state. These general guidelines include advice on nutrition, supplements, detoxification routines, how to have a healthy, non-toxic home and the importance of spirituality.

Our Gonzalez Guardians
We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to meet with a doctor
who is keeping Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez’s flame alive. These Gonzalez Guardians are
Medical Doctors and Naturopathic Doctors who have attended our
2021 Educational Seminar and been certified in The Gonzalez Protocol®. Certification
denotes doctors who completed this seminar and were educated in the theories and
procedures of The Gonzalez Protocol® as determined from Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez’s
published books, lectures, patient files and other writings.
Each doctor has their own patient admission policy and ALL decisions about patient acceptance and treatment are at the sole discretion of the doctor. Submitting your information to the Gonzalez Guidance Group does not create a doctor-patient relationship. This is not established until a doctor accepts a patient into their practice and a treatment plan is begun.

Dr. Gonzalez Testimonials
“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
“The best decision I ever made was to eschew Standard of Care, allopathic medicine and follow the Gonzalez non-drug protocol. Nick does not use the word “cure” but I can. Today, I have NED … ‘no evidence of disease.’ I feel great, am perfectly healthy, have great energy, and am in the best shape of my life. I attribute my recovery to Nick Gonzalez.”
Suzanne Somers, Entertainer and Author of 26 books including Knockout – Interviews with Doctors Who Are curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It In The Fist Place
