WAP Conference – Nick Gonzalez, MD and Cancer

I was Dr. Gonzalez’s room monitor to fulfill the volunteer hours required of me as a conference scholarship recipient. A day with Dr. Gonzalez is a Wow – more than I could have imagined. Dr. Gonzalez is a cancer doctor with an exceptional success rate for treating pancreatic cancer and other cancers through the use of nutritional protocols and enzyme therapy. You can learn more about him and other speakers in this WAP description: speakers and from his website .  

Before I get into his talk, I will tell you a little about Dr. Gonzalez (Dr. G.) as I got to know him during his lecture day (he spoke for six hours and is an ultra marathoner when it comes to speaking and answering questions) and the day after. When Dr. G. enters a room he COMMANDS attention. He is a force that literally clears a path, and when the initial tsunami passes, the second wave in the form of Mrs. G. comes at you. Professionally, I have been through the ringer. I have had 2,500 angry citizens directing their hostilities at me when I worked on endangered species issues. My home address was “outed” on an internet forum hostile to the environmental work I did, and my home was vandalized as a result. I have had multiple levels of law enforcement protection. I haven’t been intimidated in almost 20 years. That all changed the morning I met Dr. G.

I won’t go into many details, but I and my fellow room monitor worked like crazy to keep a very flawed room from a noise standpoint in useable shape. The sense of urgency was heightened because Dr. G’s talk was being filmed and recorded. Dr. G. gets on a roll when lecturing, and it is immensely hard to get his attention to let him know a break is coming or he needs to take questions (he didn’t take questions until the end). The bio that I read was flawed, so I had to correct it. His mic died and I had to run for another. All of these and more are minor things when interacting with most speakers, but in Dr. G’s room everything is magnified, and he is not a warm and fuzzy guy. Dr. G. took questions after five hours of fast-paced and compelling lecture (fast is an understatement). He will stay and answer questions as long as there is need, and I was the last questioner. His somewhat snide greeting – “My hall monitor is here.” In fairness, Dr. and Mrs. Gonzalez complimented me several times over the day. The next day when I was labeled the hall monitor for the third time I called him on it. Finally he cracked, gave a faint smile and showed some warmth, and said that it was a term of endearment.  He then proceeded to answer my question patiently and thoroughly.

After reflecting on my two days interacting with Dr. G, I think it is his tsunami-like force combined with is brilliance that helped him to receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to carry on his cancer work. He is the only truly innovative MD to receive NIH funding, as far as I know. I will continue to strongly endorse him as an MD to people I meet who are suffering from cancer. I think his innovative therapy combined with his energy and expectation that his patients can triumph over cancer are critical.

On awards night at the WAP conference, Dr. G received the Weston A. Price Science and Integrity award. I believe he was the fifth person to receive it – it is not given out yearly. He quickly got up, physically accepted it, said he was not expecting this, said thank you and sat down. He was up and down in 30 seconds or less. Very modest for a guy who is saving lives the way he is.

Now on to what I actually learned during Dr. G’s lectures. There was no PowerPoint presentation, just Dr. G. lecturing faster than any professor I ever had. The morning session was heavy on biology. He did not stick with the topics in the conference guide, so referring there isn’t much help. Most of the morning lecture and some of the afternoon lectures were beyond me, but here is what I gleaned. Keep in mind that these notes are INCOMPLETE.

There are five characteristics of cancer:

1. Primitive and undifferentiated – germ cells go haywire in the wrong place at the wrong time.

2. Proliferates without restraint

3. Invasive

4. Migratory

5. Androgenic (I think that is what he said)

Radiation shrinks cancer but it comes back more aggressively. “Thank you Madam Curie.” Successful cancer treatments were being developed in the early 1900s, but then Marie Curie and her two Nobel Prizes entered the scene. She said that curing cancer was easy when using radiation, and radiation then squashed the other promising treatment research. Marie Curie died due to radiation exposure and her laboratory is still unapproachably radioactive.

Dr. Gonzalez discussed the Pottenger’s work on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Dr. G said that an imbalance in these systems leads to disease and discussed the effects of nutrients on the autonomic system. Calcium and magnesium stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and potassium the parasympathetic. Pottenger has a 1944 book that I want to read. It discusses manipulating and balancing the nervous system.

Dr. G discussed his mentor, Dr. William Kelley, in great detail. Dr. Kelley was a dentist who cured himself from incurable cancer in the early 1960s and went on to help many more people. Dr. G has just released a book about Dr. Kelley’s work.

In his early 40s, Dr. Kelley had so much cancer that the tumors protruded from his abdomen. With only weeks to live, Dr. Kelley realized that different foods affected his tumors differently. He could feel the effects in a half hour or less. Meat and animal products helped the tumors grow. Non-animal products stabilized them. Calcium supplements made them worse. Magnesium and Potassium saved his life. Dr. G. emphasized that Dr. Kelley very methodically and individually tested each food and supplement and documented his progress. The tumors shrank, then broke up. Dr. Kelly became very sick due to the toxins and then implemented liver flushes to remove the toxins. During each stage of his recovery he did much research and moved forward based on his findings and the work of other doctors whose work fell from the consciousness of the medical community over the decades.

Dr. Kelley became cancer free and he went on to live another 40 years. He helped others beat cancer, and he learned that the approach that worked for him did not work for others. Cancer cures with nutrition and enzymes must be individualized. No assumptions can be made because people are so individual. Dr. Kelley authored a 32 page pamphlet entitled One Cure to Cancer and was investigated by 14 government agencies. The U.S. Supreme Court forbade him from publishing any further work. He is one of two people to whom this has happened.

Dr. Kelley said that there are ten basic diets and many subsets. Here are the ten:

Three vegetarian types with three gradations (moderate, extreme and inefficient, with the inefficient needing cooked food)

Three meat types with three gradations:

• Extreme - Meat, fat and raw foods

• Moderate - Meat and more plants and fruit

• Inefficient – Everything needs to be cooked

Four balanced types.

Dr. Gonzalez discussed how foods influence the autonomic nervous system. An alkaline environment shuts down the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and stimulates the parasympathetic (PNS). An acid environment, created by meat among other things, increase the SNS.

Below are a few of the NS differentiators that Dr. G. mentioned. Based on these differentiators, I am a mixture of PNS and SNS. I lean toward meat, but not strongly, I am competitive, and I have allergies. I guess that my mixed diet of meat, fruits, vegetables, beans and dairy serves me pretty well. I do have preferences for veggies over meat and fruits at times but that reverses at times. I guess that is my autonomic nervous system correcting itself?

Here are the differentiators:

• If your body leans toward vegetarianism you are SNS dominate (such as those living in the Amazon or other lush areas at the equator) and if you prefer meat you are PNS dominate (such as those living in the Arctic).

• If you are not competitive you are PNS dominate and if you are competitive you are SNS dominate.

• If you have allergies you are PNS dominate.

• If you have autoimmune reactions you are SNS dominate.

• When a cancer patient has hard tumors the SNS dominates. PNS dominates when cancer patients have soft cancers like leukemia and other immune cancers.

If you are trying to alkalize, do not use apple cider vinegar. It is acidic. Use lemon juice. While lemon juice is an acid, the liver converts it to bicarbonate, which is alkaline.

Inflammation stimulates germ cells to become cancerous. An autonomic imbalance is always at the base of the problem.

Liver toxicity is a problem. The Gonzalez’s do a liver flush every quarter, according to Mrs. G. Dr. G. does coffee enemas every day, according to Kaala Daniel, another conference presenter.

Needless to say, I was in need of refreshment by the end of the day, but Dr. G. could have kept on going. You can see that he loves to educate people, especially as shown by his willingness to stay an extra hour for questions and answer questions throughout the weekend. I am very grateful for the day that I spent with him and Mrs. G.

Thank you for posting on your day with Dr. Gonzalez... I am a patient of his and could not be more grateful for this miracle man. I have synovial sarcoma and was given a year to live... it has been six months since I started Dr. Gonzalez program and I am doing wonderful... healthier than ever and my cancer numbers are dropping. He is a Godsend!
