FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
We strive to help you as best we can by answering the questions we hear most often:
Why don't you offer the protocol online for anyone to use?
There isn't one protocol to give you. The Gonzalez Protocol® is a holistic system geared to address the whole body, not just a disease state. Everything - diet, supplements and detoxification plans - is customized to the specific patient based on extensive diagnostic tools to best determine one's metabolic type, nutritional and mineral deficiencies, emotional state and disease. For example, there are 99 different diets. In fact, two breast cancer patients would not be prescribed the exact same diet, take the exact same supplements or do the exact same detoxification procedures. Therefore, it isn't possible to post one protocol for public use.
Designing a custom protocol requires extensive medical education (and re-education). Over the years, several publishing companies asked Dr. Gonzalez to write a HOW-TO book so people could treat themselves. He passed on these potentially lucrative opportunities because he knew how complex it is to both design an individualized protocol and troubleshoot challenges that may arise. He believed that a patient should be under the care of a qualified doctor and knew from his own years of experience how important it is for a struggling patient to have expert advice.
We have designed a series of Gonzalez General Guidelines with general information that can be helpful to everyone. It is an 8 page PDF covering topics such as Nutrition, Detoxification, Supplements, Health Home and Spirituality. You can purchase it here.
Why can't I get a list of Certified Gonzalez Doctors and contact them myself?
We completely understand the desire to see a list but for a variety of reasons, we can’t offer a public list of doctors to contact. One of the reasons is because these doctors are in private practice with very small staffs, and they don’t have the manpower to address all the prospective patient questions and requests for information about The Gonzalez Protocol®. To best assist prospective patients and the doctors, we are providing a centralized service and managing the patient application process.
This protocol is quite demanding and before a doctor schedules an appointment, we want to be certain that the prospective patient knows exactly what will be required of them and that this protocol can benefit the patient’s specific medical situation. This is the same application process Dr. Gonzalez had in his private practice and it is now provided by his same administrative staff. Our team interacted with his patients for many years. They are ready to meet with you to answer your questions and process your application. Over time, this process proved to best serve everyone as it would not be helpful for a patient to travel to meet with a doctor only to then find out that they are not likely to benefit from this protocol.
After you have successfully completed the application process, you will be given access to our Directory of Doctors where you can learn more about the doctors and select the doctor of your choice. Please click this link to learn more and get started.
Why can't I consult with someone who can answer my questions about the protocol so I can do it myself?
The protocol is a customized nutritional plan, an individualized supplement program and a series of detoxification routines supervised and customized by a doctor specially educated in this nutritional enzyme treatment. At this time, we don't have the staff resources to retain a qualified team member to troubleshoot specific medical questions for people who are not patients. Our Gonzalez Guardian Doctors work very closely with their patients to address their needs. We also have a program available for Gonzalez Protocol patients where they can hire a health coach, a Gonzalez Guide, to work with their doctor and assist the patient while on the protocol.
Does The Gonzalez Protocol work for medical issues besides cancer?
Nearly 50% of Dr. Gonzalez's patients saw him for other degenerative diseases (not cancer) as well as disease prevention. Since the protocol addresses the whole body, applying the protocol and balancing one's autonomic nervous system brings healing to most every medical concern. You can read more about Dr. Gonzalez's non-cancer treatments here for viruses, hepatitis, diabetes, severe allergies, environmental illness, back and neck pain, OCD, stress, GBS, Lupus, heart disease, lymphedema, Bell's Palsy, osteoporosis, otosclerosis and fibromyalgia to name a few.
Where can I learn more about Dr. William Donald Kelley, Dr. Gonzalez's mentor?
We offer several places where you can learn more about this extraordinary man. Dr. Gonzalez wrote a book call One Man Alone which investigates Dr. Kelley's cancer cases. Dr. Gonzalez lectured about Dr. Kelley and their relationship and you can read it here. There are other references to Dr. Kelley throughout our website. Just enter KELLEY in the search bar.
What are your long term statistics for my specific disease?
Dr. Gonzalez was a research scientist and believed it was critical to document his good patient outcomes. Check out our more than 150 published cancer case reports - all of them are remarkable cases with patients living well beyond their life expectancy. The books are listed here. Published journal articles can be found here and in this section as well. You can read how we address this question of statistics here.
What are the costs involved in this treatment and do you offer discounts?
Being on The Gonzalez Protocol® requires one to purchase organic, clean foods; large amounts of supplements and non-toxic cleaning supplies. These are costs that we don't have any control over although we have a list of special offers and resources here. The doctors who offer The Gonzalez Protocol® charge for their time and those fees can vary. In general, the total annual cost (i.e.: food, supplements, doctor's fees) to be on the protocol for the first year costs between $20,000 - $25,000 depending on the patient's situation. Costs for the following years are lower as the doctor doesn't need to rebuild the protocol every year.
