2. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez entertains the fact that some
cancers can be eliminated "by the patient's own body"
if the liver, intestines, kidneys, lungs, and blood are
detoxified and the body's acid/alkaline balance as well
as the body’s mineral and enzyme balance are brought
together. To accomplish this, Gonzalez treats with
coffee enemas and supplements of megavitamins,
trace minerals, glandular extracts, and diet.
What is the Gonzalez Diet?
Green, 2000 from Quackwatch.org

3. Coffee Enemas Supplements Diet
•When the cancerous tumors
are filtered and detoxified by
the liver then from the bile
ducts to the small intestine.
The small intestine walls are
smooth muscle and with
caffeine the ducts are opened
to let the cancerous tumor
toxins to pass into bowel.
•Patients may take around 150
pills per day. These are all
supplements that are taken to
replace the nutrients lost in the
detoxification process.
•A hair scalp sample is
submitted for analysis. The
sample is used to determine
the proper diet that the
medical staff chooses to
create special for each
patient.

What’s on the Menu?

5. This diet is helpful to some extent. If you eat healthy of course
your body and life is extended. The amount of pills required to
take per day is astounding. The cancer diet, like most, is
expensive after crunching numbers. It is a long process, but
Dr. Gonzalez does his diet himself. He stated that it was safe
for him and the people under his care. This diet is rumored to
“cure” cancer, but there is no undisputable evidence of the
cure. It has caused the cancer to become dormant at some
points in different patients. Dr. Gonzalez was actually sued on
two separate occasions due to telling patients that they were
healed of the cancer, but were still ill. The diet could be
improved if the natural foods consumed could take place of the
constant pill intake killing the stomach lining.
