This groundbreaking analysis reveals how more than 100 years ago, the English scientist Dr. John Beard uncovered not only the likely origins of cancer but also its solution. Dr. Gonzalez explains Dr. Beard's underlying theory and explores Dr. Beard's pioneering use of pancreatic enzymes for cancer treatment. This book also showcases case histories describing cancer patients successfully treated with pancreatic enzymes by the authors.Dr. Beard's achievements, though unappreciated in his own day, are many. A research embryologist by training, he proposed that the early mammalian placenta, or trophoblast, the connection between the embryo and the maternal uterine blood supply, represents an ideal model for the study of malignancy. In its ability to divide rapidly, invade maternal tissues, and generate a blood supply, the trophoblast, Beard reasoned, initially behaves as any growing tumor might. However, the trophoblast differs from malignancy, Beard stated, because at some predetermined point it changes from an invasive tissue into the non-aggressive placenta, necessary for early embryonic life.Beard spent years searching for the key to this remarkable transformation, ultimately discovering that the very day the trophoblast changes character, the embryonic pancreas begins secreting large amounts of enzymes. Beard then proposed that since pancreatic enzymes regulate trophoblast growth, they must represent our main defense against cancer. Subsequently, in animal experiments and in clinical use with human cancer patients, Beard demonstrated pancreatic enzymes could attack and destroy cancerous tumors.In this book, you will read of Dr. Beard's discoveries, and how modern science confirms much of what he long ago proposed. Along the way, you will learn that Dr. Beard discovered stem cells, the focus of much research effort today, though he never received proper credit. And you will see that Dr. Beard may have uncovered the key to the deadly disease of cancer.

This monograph describes Dr. Gonzalez's investigation of the nutritional/enzyme cancer treatment developed by the alternative practitioner Dr. William Donald Kelley. The book provides an in-depth analysis of Dr. Kelley's theories and practice, as well as evidence demonstrating the treatment's value against even the most aggressive of cancers. The author includes 50 representative case histories of patients diagnosed with a variety of poor prognosis or terminal malignancies who did well under Dr. Kelley's care, with copies of the actual relevant medical records. Originally completed in 1986, this monograph generated interest in the alternative and conventional medical world for over two decades even though it was not formally published until 2010, rewritten and with an updated introduction by Dr. Gonzalez.In this book, you will read why Dr. Kelley believed no one ideal diet suits everyone and how he developed ten basic diets for his patients ranging from vegetarian to carnivore. You will also learn the underlying rationale for Dr. Kelley's precise use of nutritional supplements including pancreatic enzymes, which provided the main anti-cancer effect of his therapy. The book also discusses the various "detoxification" routines prescribed by Dr. Kelley, such as coffee enemas, which he claimed helped neutralize the effects of dead tumor wastes that accumulate during treatment.The results of Dr. Gonzalez's investigation have been discussed before a Congressional committee, on national TV, and in print media such as The New Yorker and Prevention. This pioneering book is now available to all those with an interest in cancer in general, the enzyme treatment of cancer in particular, alternative medicine, and Dr. Kelley. Note: this is not a "how-to" book for self-treatment.Dr. Gonzalez is a graduate of Brown University and Cornell University Medical College, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in cancer immunology. He currently practices in New York City.

In 1902, the scientist John Beard, at the time Professor at the University of Edinburgh, proposed that the pancreatic enzyme trypsin represents the body's primary defense against cancer and would be useful as a cancer treatment. Despite his documentation and reputation - he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1906 for his work in embryology - most cancer experts rejected Beard's thesis outright. However, a number of physicians concluded that Beard might be right, and employed pancreatic enzymes in the treatment of patients diagnosed with advanced cancer, often with remarkable results as reported in the conventional scientific literature. These successes provoked a heated debate about the therapy that lasted right through the first decade of the 20th century. In 1911 Beard published The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer and Its Scientific Basis, outlining his hypothesis, his decades of research and the compelling results. Though published to some very positive reviews, the book was soon forgotten as the scientific community enthusiastically latched on to Madame Curie's claim that radiation represented a simple non-toxic cure for cancer. It would be years before scientists realized radiation cured few cancers and was quite toxic - Madame Curie herself died as a result of her exposure to uranium - but by that time, Beard was dead and forgotten. Though in his lifetime the scientific community never embraced his ideas about cancer - he died in relative obscurity in 1924 - in recent years, evidence from molecular biology and stem cell research increasingly confirms many of Dr. Beard's fundamental precepts. In 2010, nearly 100 years since publication of this book, it is time Beard's work be reread. With billions of dollars spent in recent decades on cancer research with only slight success, Beard's thesis warrants a thorough reconsideration.

The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer

John Beard

In 1998, Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. received National Cancer Institute approval for a clinical trial to evaluate his nutritional-enzyme approach in the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. Though Dr. Gonzalez hoped the venture would initiate cooperation between conventional scientists and serious alternative researchers, problems plagued the study from its inception. The design discouraged patient participation; oncologists discouraged patients from joining and at times pressured those already admitted for nutritional therapy to change to conventional treatment. Then in 2000 the NCI turned over all patient selection decisions to the Principal Investigator (PI), who as it turned out helped devise the chemotherapy regimen used as the control treatment. An evaluation by government scientists in early 2005 confirmed that so many patients had failed to follow the prescribed nutritional therapy that the data had little meaning. Despite such problems, without Dr. Gonzalez' knowledge the Principal Investigator published an article implying the study was properly run, patients complied fully and that the nutritional therapy had no effect. In response, Dr. Gonzalez has written What Went Wrong, to bring the truth of this project to light, and show how bias, indifference, and at times incompetence undermined a promising research effort that, if properly run, might have ushered in a new direction in cancer treatment. Dr. Gonzalez graduated from Brown University (Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude). He worked as a journalist at Time Inc. before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia and medical school at Cornell. He completed immunology training before opening a practice in New York in 1987. His research has been funded by Procter &amp; Gamble and Nestle. From the Midwest Book Review: What Went Wrong is a striking case study of a scientific study gone terribly awry, and highly recommended for science and medical professionals as well as for concerned laypeople. I highly recommend What Went Wrong. ... Gonzalez's book shows us the deeply rooted institutional backlash that infuses the study of an effective, individualized, nonconventional therapy ... It is a contemporary history that we would all be wise to study.--Greg Nigh, ND LAc, from the Natural Medicine Journal

What Went Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer

An Award Finalist in the "Health: Cancer" category of the 2017 BEST BOOK AWARDS. This cancer case report series documents the effectiveness of the nutritional/enzyme cancer treatment designed by Nicholas J. Gonzalez, MD. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Gonzalez Protocol in both theory and practice, with fifty representative patients with biopsy-proven pancreatic or breast cancer. This pioneering book includes patients diagnosed with a poor prognosis or terminal malignancies who did well under Dr. Gonzalez's care. Conquering Cancer: Volume Two will be available in summer 2017 and will cover additional types of cancer and other degenerative diseases. These two volumes of Conquering Cancer are the culmination of Dr. Gonzalez's twenty-eight-year medical career, as he died suddenly and unexpectedly in July 2015. This book is now available to all those with an interest in cancer in general, the enzyme treatment of cancer in particular, alternative medicine, and the Gonzalez Protocol. Note: this is not a "how-to" book for self-treatment. He does not detail the specific treatments for these patients because each patient requires a medical protocol based on his or her medical profile and type of cancer. All medical treatment for serious illnesses should be supervised by trained professionals and not dictated by another persons' history found in a book. These cases illustrate that there are other proven ways of treating cancer than those dictated by allopathic medicine and specifically, that long-term remission is possible through holistic care.

Conquering Cancer: Volume One 50 Pancreatic and Breast Cancer Patients on the Gonzalez Nutritional Protocol: Volume One

WINNER OF 2018 BOOK EXCELLENCE AWARD in the Diet &amp; Nutrition Category. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez (developer of The Gonzalez Protocol for the treatment of cancer and many other degenerative diseases) explains the importance of nutrition in maintaining and restoring the autonomic nervous system balance that is so crucial to good health. He describes how individual variation in nervous system function means that different individuals require different types of diets (ranging from largely raw food and vegetarian to diets high in fatty red meat, and every variation in between) in order to achieve good health. Drawing upon more than twenty-five years of private practice in New York, and prior research by Drs. Pottenger, Gellhorn, and Kelley, he also explains why nutritional supplementation protocols similarly need to be individualized for optimal autonomic nervous system function. While this book is not a how-to manual, reading it will help you better understand how to maintain or improve your own health-or, if you are a health professional, to better assist your patients to remain healthy or recover from illness-without potentially harmful medications. Discover the secret of how different nutrients regulate the nervous system. Have you ever wondered why "one size fits all" diets don't work for everyone? We are all unique individuals. Learn how a personalized diet and nutritional supplement program promotes good health by balancing the functions of the autonomic nervous system. In addition to winning the 2018 Book Excellence Award in the "Diet &amp; Nutrition" category, this book was a Finalist in the "Health: Diet &amp; Exercise" category of the 2017 BEST BOOK AWARDS.

Conquering Cancer: Volume Two: 62 Patients on The Gonzalez Protocol

In 1993, Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. presented his best 25 cancer patient cases to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This is Dr. Gonzalez's original presentation including the appropriate medical records confirming each diagnosis. The Gonzalez Protocol is based on the enzyme treatment for cancer. At this early stage in his medical practice, Dr. Gonzalez was optimistic and believed that if he could prove that his protocol was effective for treating cancer, the NCI would support his nutritional cancer research. This presentation includes cases of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, sarcoma and thyroid cancer.

The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer

THE AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY: When Nick Gonzalez was a medical student, he stood beside his father's deathbed and vowed that he would find a cure for cancer. Nick imagined his future as a researcher toiling away in a lab in Memorial Sloan Kettering, working on conventional approaches to the disease. Yet Gonzalez's life was anything but conventional. At the urging of Linus Pauling, he had already left an accomplished journalism career and entered Cornell Medical School.\nGonzalez's path took another turn when he met the controversial Dr. William Kelley, a dentist who, through an alternative nutritional approach, had arrested his own pancreatic cancer. Kelley had become infamous when he'd tried to help others.\nThe Maverick M.D. is the story of how Dr. Nick Gonzalez perfected the scientific theory behind Kelley's work and put the protocol into practice in New York City. Gonzalez drew courage from his Christian faith, from his Mexican-Italian-American family, and from key loved ones, colleagues and mentors. He spent years treating patients with the most serious conditions--from cancer to diabetes to lupus. But he wasn't satisfied as an outlier in the medical community. He wanted his work put to the test with a clinical trial.\nThis book portrays a man who fought for the acceptance of a nutritional cancer treatment in the halls of some of the most established U.S. medical institutions. Against intense opposition, Nick Gonzalez's determination held up until the end--a scientist who developed a therapy that saves lives and promotes the healing of the human mind, body and spirit.
