The Use of Proteolytic Enzymes Against Cancer: The Origins of an Idea
Nick Gonzalez, MD
Format: Video
Year: 2009
In his talk, Dr. Gonzalez will trace the evolution of the idea, beginning 100 years ago, that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes, above and beyond their well known digestive function, serve as our bodies' main defense against cancer and are an effective anti-cancer supplement. He will discuss in some detail the work of Dr. John Beard, the pioneering English biologist who in elegant meticulous detail first proposed the enzyme hypothesis, and who along the way first identified stem cells and their probable role as the progenitor cancer cell—some 60 years before stem cells would be "rediscovered" in the 1960s, and 90 years before cancer researchers would propose that dysregulated stem cells are the culprit in malignant disease. Dr. Gonzalez will bring the enzyme concept up to date, presenting the experiences of Dr. William Kelley during the 1970s and 80s, and his own 20 year-experience using enzymes as a cancer treatment in his research studies and in his private practice. Throughout the talk, Dr. Gonzalez will emphasize the scientific support for the enzyme approach.

Holistic Cancer Therapy - Parts 1 - 3
Nicholas Gonzalez, MD
Format: Video and Slides
Year: 2010
In this comprehensive six-hour seminar, Dr. Gonzalez discussed in detail the basic elements of his approach to cancer, involving individualized diets, individualized supplement programs with large doses of pancreatic enzymes, and detoxification routines such as coffee enemas.

Dr. Gonzalez began his presentation with an historical interlude, recounting the elegant research of the English scientist and embryologist Dr. John Beard, who more than 100 years ago first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes -- already known by 1900 to be essential for digestion -- also represent the body's main defense against cancer, and would be useful as a cancer treatment. Dr. Beard's hypothesis developed out of his study of the mammalian placenta, the connection between the growing embryo and the mother's blood supply. In its earliest incarnation, Beard realized, the placenta behaves much as a malignant tumor, invading into the uterus while creating a complex blood supply. But the placenta differs from a cancerous tumor in that at some point its growth ceases, a change Beard attributed to the embryonic production of pancreatic enzymes. Since the placenta so resembles a tumor, he reasoned that pancreatic enzymes would be useful against the disease. In his lecture, Dr. Gonzalez detailed Dr. Beard's laboratory and clinical investigations that helped support his thesis, and show how contemporary molecular biology confirms much of what Beard proposed a century ago.

In the second half of his lecture, Dr. Gonzalez described the basis for his use of different diets and individualized supplement programs. His nutritional prescriptions are based on imbalances in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the complex collection of nerves that regulates physiological functions thought to be beyond conscious control, such as respiration, cardiovascular activity, digestion, and the secretion of hormones and enzymes. Patients with an overly strong sympathetic branch of the ANS do best, Dr. Gonzalez has found, with a plant based diet, those with a strong parasympathetic division do well on an animal protein and fat diet, while those with a balanced ANS thrive on a variety of foods, both of plant and animal origin.

Dr. Gonzalez also presented the work of the alternative practitioner, William Donald Kelley, DDS, who rediscovered Beard's forgotten work in the 1960s. Kelley believed that imbalances in the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system is at the root of much human disease, and fundamentally determines our dietary "type" and the nutrients needed for optimal health. Dr. Gonzalez also provided the rationale for Dr. Kelley's incorporation of coffee enemas and other "detoxification" routines into his regimen, designed to help the body excrete the waste load produced as tissues repair and rebuild, and tumors break down.

Dr. Gonzalez also presented a number of case reports demonstrating the efficacy of the therapy against both cancer and non-cancer illnesses.

Recovery from Cancer
Jerry Brunetti
Format: Audio & Slides
Year: 2011
Surviving Cancer 101 - Diagnosed in 1999 with an "incurable" variant of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and given six months to two years to live without aggressive chemotherapy, Brunetti chose to take the "road less traveled". Detoxification, immune modulation, super nutrients, mind/body therapy and practices similar to ecological restoration of livestock health have allowed Brunetti to continue to walk his talk for 12 years.

Preventing Breast Cancer
Deborah Gordon, MD
Format: Audio & Slides
Year: 2013
