He talked specifically about how certain people need specific dietary needs for staying healthy and cancer free. At day 35, the survival rates were 79% in the treatment group and 38% in the control group. The Scientific Foundations of the Gonzalez Protocol. The very small bits that actually address keto dont dismantle it in the least. The day after I first met Dr. Kelley in New York in July 1981, I was on a plane to Dallas to begin my review of Kelleys charts. In my own professional lifetime, I have witnessed a number of cancer miracles come and go, sometimes in quite dizzying succession and at times with extraordinarily dazzling hysteria. After a lung biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma, his doctors discouraged chemotherapy, telling him and his wife conventional treatments would only ruin his quality of life while offering no benefit. Plant-based enzymes will not digest a tumor. I have chronic myeloid leukemia and am taking imatinid for my chemotherapy. If his theory is true, then the addition of pancreatic enzymes could play a role in either limiting or eliminating them elsewhere in the body. My dad is really happy and continues to be getting leaner. [8] When a human egg is fertilized by sperm, the early cell divisions produce a small ball of cells, which give rise to the blastocyst (preimplantation embryo). Beard also thought that some of these primordial cellscarrying latent capacities for invading tissuescould escape and spread throughout the body of the developing fetus. Steve McQueen was diagnosed with advanced mesothelioma, a particularly deadly form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure, sought out Kelley after the conventional approaches, radiation and immunotherapy, failed to halt the progression of his disease. My choice seems much clearer now. Nevertheless, anti-angiogenesis as the answer to cancer remains a big driving force in biotech companies, who have developed a whole slew of angiostatin and endostatin offspring, including the drug Avastin, costing up to $10,000 a month, though it doesnt work particularly well. Casimiro Gonzalez is a Ophthalmologist in Bell, CA. Chris, thanks for this information. Nutritional supplements that include a variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Were into Juicing/50% raw vegan/budwig for the past one year, fighting Leiomyosarcoma but are uncertain if were on the right track. If you think all Im trying to do is sell books and coaching, then clearly you havent spent much time here. Over a 20 year period working in the trenches treating many thousands of people, Dr. Kelley came to learn that each patient who walked into his office required a diet designed specifically for his or her metabolic needs, and these dietary requirements could vary enormously from patient to patient. Those are all time-tested methods validated by a large body of long-term survivors. I was speaking of Dr. Gonzalez web site. Krebs ET Jr, Krebs ET Sr, Beard HH: The unitarian or trophoblastic thesis of cancer. The mean tumor weight was 1.2 g in the control group and 0.75 g in the treatment group. long term ketosis seems to lower the immune the system & thyroid, maybe other problems, just like many extreme diets. Cabbage is 3% sugar and 2% fibre. This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best possible experience. During the process of attaching the blastocyst to the uterine wall, trophoblasts express invasive qualities similar to those found in cancer cells. Oh and by the way there is no evidence of disease! In a second article from June 30, 2013, entitled The Ketogenic Diet An Excellent Approach to Cancer Prevention and Treatment, Dr. Mercola discusses the work of Dr. Dominic DAgostino, PhD, another basic scientist, this time from Florida, who enthusiastically reports his animal and laboratory work with the ketogenic diet. Meanwhile ppl he might have helped died just because the big baby didnt get recognition. Our body is the healer, and it needs our help. And, I could see that he was passionately devoted to his nutritional approach to cancer. Looked like Dr. Gonzalez has a lot of successful story. Falcarinol, in particular, has been shown to preferentially kill colon cancer cells and leave normal cells essentially untouched. Also, the potato can be toxic and was not eaten by our earlier ancestors. [3] The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet (Heller and Heller) works best for me. Wild animals from the early 1900s however, would probably have higher concentrations of minerals stored in their fat and tissues than any factory raised pig or chicken we have easy access to. For an explanation of the scores and additional information about levels of evidence analysis of CAM treatments for cancer, refer to Levels of Evidence for Human Studies of Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies. Each of these diets allowed considerable fruit and whole grain products, foods again loaded with carbs. [2] In addition, the Gonzalez regimen uses coffee enemas on the premise that coffee absorbed through the intestinal wall will improve liver and gallbladder function and help increase the removal of toxic waste from tumor breakdown. Just a blood glucose monitor, blood pressure and rate meter, a tube of Ketostix and a GSR. Richard. Most standard therapies fail, Dr. Wicha and his associates believe, because they attack the more mature tumor line, not the essential tumor stem cells, the actual engines of cancer creation. Is this truly the case, and does DON also inhibit alanine fermetation assuming that this also occurs? The Masai flourished on a rather extreme diet consisting, for an adult warrior, of a gallon of raw milk a day with some blood and occasional meat, but no fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, or grains. [2] The second concept is that cancer and most other human illness are related to physiological imbalances created by environmental toxins either consumed in food or contacted in the environment. http://cancercompassalternateroute.com/therapies/ketogenic-diet-for-cancer/, http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/december/starving-cancer-ketogenic-diet-a-key-to-recovery/. It is Inflammation we have to control. Inflammation, arteriole damage and cell-damage which can lead to cancer, are well-known to increase with blood-glucose levels. 2nd glaring issue is he only focuses on Atkins (which, as I already stated is NOT a keto diet). Glad you took the time to read it. Interestingly, as Stefansson pointed out, the Eskimos he studied and lived with for ten years knew that their exclusive animal food diet must be high fat, with moderately low protein. When the Mayo oncologist on the case said there was nothing that could be done, the patient being looking into alternative approaches, learned about Kelleys work, and began his therapy. Dr. Kelleys approach espoused, among other things, the use of pancreatic enzymes administered orally as anticancer agents. And so it goes. Rats treated with a ketogenic diet (KetoCal) without radiation only lived 5 days longer than standard diet rats. It seemed like it should work; the logic is attractive but what was missing was evidence. It is a good lesson, for all of us, before we tout the next great cancer miracle. That blood sugar comes from a variety of sources, including dietary carbohydrates occurring in fruits, starchy vegetables like potatoes, and grains. At that time there were no other sites (at least none as large as this one) talking about the ketogenic diet and how it may help cancer patients. The book The Low-Carb Fraud by T Colin Campbell gave me peace of mind and that is why I want to recommend it here. After only a few days in Kelleys Dallas office, I quickly realized that he, as odd as he may have seemed to some, as peculiar as his therapy might be to conventional researchers, had put together a potentially useful, non-toxic, nutritional cancer treatment. Variations in the diets correlate with the theory that imbalances in the autonomic nervous system are exacerbated by a diet that is inappropriate for the patients metabolic type. Hes a dentist not an MD, therefore he should not be treating those with cancer were the claims. To conduct clinical drug research in the United States, researchers must file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA. Dr. Gonzalez also developed his own pancreatic enzymes for his patients and then licensed them to Allergy Research Group. Wow. Its been over four years and no sign of recurrance. Thanks again for spreading the word that there are natural cure for everyone. There is proof this diet works, the official scientific study groups may not be very big and there hasnt been very many trials performed, but several studies have been completed and are planned to impose on cancer cells unique energy metabolic properties that exclusively use glycolysis for ATP production. In my monograph One Man Alone, I included a case report of a patient treated by Kelley, diagnosed with an inoperable and very aggressive form of brain cancer that had spread into the spinal canal. I was on a low-carb dietwith lots of eggs every morningseveral years before I developed tongue cancer (originally Im thinking olive oil, nuts, seeds, coconut, avocado, etc., along with tons and tons of fresh juice and raw veggies. Seyfried (spelled correctly so you dont have to focus on something irrelevant), is not an MD. Chris, Digestive enzymes, or specifically pancreatic enzymes? When she first consulted with Dr. Kelley in 1977 she was in a near terminal state after having failed intensive chemotherapy. During the first half of the 20th century, physicians and researchers studying the traditional Eskimo (Inuit) culture were amazed by the health of these people subsisting on a very peculiar at least to the Western academic mind high fat ketogenic diet. In recent years stem cells have been a hot topic in the research world, and a hot topic, for better or worse, in the media. Personally, I believe its absolutely crucial, for whatever type of cancer youre trying to address, and hopefully someday it will be adopted as a first line of treatment. Though he had heard me expound on the Kelley approach many times over the years, it was to him implausible that humans as a species had adopted to a variety of diets, some high fat, some high carb, some more balanced, and that in medical practice, we as physicians had to be aware that different patients might require completely different diets for optimal health. There could be certain compounds in carrot juice (or other high sugar foods) that kills cancer cells. Saruc M, Standop S, Standop J, et al. The idea is to try to starve the cancer cells, without starving the patient. With regard to Dr. Gonzalez comments regarding the high carb / sugar content of carrot juice, perhaps the real benefit to the carrot juice is not the sugar but the contained phytonutrients ( falcarinol, falcarindiol, myresticin, etc) whose benefits outweigh the detrimental aspect of the high sugar content. Also Stress management for cortisol control. By that point, I knew Dr. Good quite well: during my second year of medical school, Dr. Good, at the time a professor at Cornell and Director of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, had begun guiding my fledgling research career. He also naively calls the keto diet all meat and fat. A chest x-ray showed total resolution of her once widespread lung metastases. The patient may eat one or two eggs daily, whole-milk yogurt daily, and fish two or three times a week, but no red meat or poultry. WebBy Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. Pancreatic enzymes are sold in the United States as either prescription drugs indicated for pancreatic insufficiency [4] or over-the-counter (OTC) dietary supplements. Ironically, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, originally involved with Sloane-Kettering`s effort to debunk Kelley, is praising Kelley and practicing his version of Kelley`s protocol in NYC. [2] The diets emphasize organic foods. There were no refined foods. I immediately spoke to him about reversing it with 18 hour fasting and getting into a state of ketosis. In one study, rats with human brain cancer implanted in their bodies lived 56% longer on a ketogenic diet combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. [8], When Scottish embryologist Dr. John Beard [6] first observed the invasive activity of trophoblasts in 1902, he speculated on the similarities between these cells and cancer cells. My question is in regard to using diet to promote longevity as well as prevent and treat cancer, chronic and autoimmune diseases. I also quickly understood that for his approach to gain academic acceptance, Kelley must back off completely from involvement with popular controversial books and media hysteria. Lastly, as ketogenic diets for cancer are not yet widespread and are relatively new, of course its more difficult to find long term survivors. However, a few thoughts come to mind: 1) Seyfried uses a calorie restricted diet as well for cancer. Everyone is different and I am sad that you are so full of anger that you feel the need to bash me and my personal experiences in a public forum. Over the years, I had become particularly familiar with the interferon story since my boss, Dr. Good, had done much of the original research linking it to a possible anti-cancer effect. Thank you! National Cancer Institute I think it was still hard for him to accept that many cancer patients, and many humans without cancer, did best on a plant-based, high carb diet, so foreign to his way of thinking. which allows inappropriate Angiogenesis, providing a blood supply to growing tumors. Our bodies create inflammation to heal and repair. If the Eskimos hadnt adapted to such food, living as they did in such a difficult, extreme part of the world, they simply would have died off.
