The Gonzalez Protocol®
For nearly 30 years, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, MD treated patients with all types of cancers as well as patients with a variety of other degenerative diseases, ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome to OCD to multiple sclerosis. Now our Gonzalez Certified Doctors (Gonzalez Guardians) carry on this work around the world. As Dr. Gonzalez prescribed, each treatment protocol is individualized for the patient, regardless of the underlying problem.
OVERVIEW OF THE TREATMENT PROGRAM:
The Gonzalez Protocol® can be broken down into the following basic components: diet, supplements (with pancreas product for cancer patients), and detoxification routines such as coffee enemas. For the greatest chance of success, all three areas of the protocol must be followed.
DIET: The prescribed diets are quite variable and range from nearly vegetarian to diets requiring red meat 2-3 times a day. Each patient receives their individualized dietary recommendations. All the diets, however, require that the patient consume primarily organic foods, make and drink fresh vegetable juice, and avoid synthetic and refined foods such as white flour and white sugar. Coffee and alcohol must be discontinued. A detailed explanation of the rationale behind the diets can be found in the interview from Clinical Pearls News, or in this article from TotalHealth Magazine as well as various articles on this website. Meals should be prepared fresh each day and pre-packaged foods are prohibited.
SUPPLEMENTS: Like the diets, the supplement protocols are individualized for each patient, depending on their health problems and biochemical makeup. The prescribed supplements include a variety of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, anti-oxidants, animal glandular concentrates, and other food concentrates. A specially manufactured pancreas product (containing naturally occurring enzymes) made from pig pancreas. Click here to read more about the rationale for this. Cancer patients on this regimen take up to 45 grams of pancreas product a day, taken orally and spread throughout the day. The pancreas product used in The Gonzalez Protocol® was developed by Dr. Gonzalez specifically for use in his protocol. You can purchase Gonzalez's pancreatic enzymes and other glandulars through the Gonzalez Guidance website here. Overall, Gonzalez cancer patients consume 150-200 capsules a day, including nutrients as well as pancreas product. Some supplements are taken with meals and others are taken away from meals and some are taken in the middle of the night. Non-cancer patients might consume in the range of 80-100 capsules a day, the exact number depending on their health status and medical problems as determined by their doctor.
DETOXIFICATION: On this protocol, patients - whatever their underlying problem - routinely develop a variety of symptoms, most commonly described as flu-like; such as muscle aches and pains or malaise. Dr. Gonzalez hypothesized these symptoms result from the body's repair processes which release all manner of waste material and therefore require daily detoxification. There are several required detoxification procedures on this protocol including coffee enemas, which are believed to enhance liver function and in turn, the processing and excretion of metabolic wastes. The coffee enemas are done twice daily, and patients most commonly report symptomatic relief. Dr. Gonzalez even draws the connection between weight loss challenges and the need for frequent detoxification.
