Frequently Asked Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

  1. 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 most of 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. 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. Over time, this process proved to 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 the 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.

2. Why don't you offer the protocol online for anyone to use?

There isn't one protocol. The Gonzalez Protocol® is a holistic program 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 a protocol for public use and designing a custom protocol requires extensive 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.

3. Why can't I consult with someone who can answer my questions about the protocol so I can do it myself?

At this time, we don't have the staff resources to retain a qualified team member to troubleshoot specific medical questions. Our Gonzalez Guardian Doctors work 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 them while on the protocol.

4. 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.
