The Maverick M.D. – Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, and His Fight for a New Cancer Treatment 

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez died unexpectedly on July 21, 2015. If he were alive today…

We believe he would be smiling from ear to ear. We believe he would be thrilled that so many people like yourself are interested in learning about The Gonzalez Protocol®. We believe he would be pleased at the progress our small, non-profit foundation has made to secure his legacy and the future availability of his nutritional protocol.

We know that without Dr. Gonzalez himself here to drive this work forward, his groundbreaking protocols are in danger of fading into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley and Dr. John Beard.

Prior to his passing, Dr. Gonzalez meticulously documented the scientific theory of his work and proved its effectiveness. He believed that Nature is a Friend and not the Enemy. He published several books and recorded hundreds of hours of interviews and lectures. He wrote more than 120 in-depth patient cancer case studies — the result of a lifetime of research and groundbreaking patient care — case studies that would publicly legitimize a whole new approach to nothing less than curing cancer. All kinds of cancer.
