In his eye-opening book
What Went Wrong - The Truth Behind the Clinical
Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer, Dr.
Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., explains how the mainstream medical
system is inherently biased against virtually all alternative
approaches to disease treatment and prevention.
Particularly with
cancer, the clinical trial model has been deliberately designed in
such a way as to promote the perceived failure of unconventional
approaches to cancer treatment, which includes Dr. Gonzalez'
individualized enzyme therapy approach.
Since 1981, Dr. Gonzalez has been devoting his time and livelihood
to investigating nutritional approaches to treating cancer and
various other degenerative diseases.
He was joined by Dr.
Linda Isaacs in 1985, and since that time, the two have
pioneered together the customization of cancer treatments based on
strict dietary protocols that involve eating specific foods,
detoxifying the body, and supplementing with individualized nutrient
panels, including pancreatic enzymes for cancer patients.
It is this pancreatic enzyme protocol that Dr. Gonzalez and Dr.
Isaacs gained approval and funding from the National Cancer
Institute (NCI) to test back in 1998 as part of a large-scale
clinical trial, the so-called gold standard for science-based
medicine.
The goal of the study,
of course, was to compare the effectiveness of enzyme therapy with
the best that conventional medicine has to offer, mainly radiation
and chemotherapy.
Cancer
industry intentionally destroyed Dr. Gonzalez' study
But because the trial involved analyzing a treatment protocol that
was hatched outside the conventional cancer system, it ended up
being intentionally designed to fail by corrupt powers who took
control of it and basically ran it into the ground.
Just like it
continues to do with Dr.
Stanislaw Burzynski's
antineoplastons cancer treatment, the medical mafia decided to
thwart Dr. Gonzalez' efforts at helping mankind with his alternative
treatments.
As explained by the
Alliance for Natural Health-USA
(ANH-USA), supervisors from,
...intentionally chose
unsuitable study participants, manipulated and distorted study data,
and in various other ways, essentially sabotaged the entire study.
And in the end, the
conventional cancer system won, as the study results made it appear
as though Dr. Gonzalez' enzyme therapy is of no benefit to cancer
patients.
One particularly significant flaw in the study's design was the fact
that its participants were chosen randomly. Since enzyme therapy
includes following strict dietary and lifestyle protocols, it is
important that only fully-committed cancer patients are allowed to
participate.
Because unlike with
conventional studies, alternative studies that involve randomization
actually tend to create bias rather than prevent it.
Other major study flaws included a deliberate lack of a proper
"lead-in," improper participant screening techniques, avoidable
study delays, and general mismanagement tactics that ultimately led
to failure.
"This particular
model of medicine - and it is just that, a model - lauds
synthetic and high-tech creations as it relegates diet, food and
nutrition to a very minor rule in any consideration of human
health and disease," says Dr. Gonzalez.
"This cosmology
dominates academic medical thinking, and certainly dominates all
teaching in medical schools."

Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer

Gonzalez, MD

Spanish version
The Battle for a Fair
Evaluation of the Gonzalez Therapy
In this book, Dr.
Nicholas Gonzalez exposes what went wrong with the clinical trial
"Pancreatic proteolytic enzyme therapy compared with gemcitabine-based
chemotherapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer," sponsored by
the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and
the National Cancer Institute, conducted under the auspices of
Columbia University.
-
Reports Dr.
Gonzalez’s first-hand account of bias at the highest levels of
the academic research world, which helped undermine the project.
-
Examines how poor
trial design and implementation condemned this project to
failure.
-
Reveals how two
government oversight offices confirmed Dr. Gonzalez’s claims of
mismanagement by the study supervisors.
From the Back Cover
“For all who are
interested in the pioneering studies of Gonzalez and Isaacs on
the nutritional and metabolic control of cancer, their new book
What Went Wrong is highly
recommended.
This extraordinary
story paints a detailed picture of mismanagement of a promising
clinical trial of pancreatic cancer therapy by vested interests
of the National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of
Health, and Academia.
The story is one of
conviction, persistence and dedication in the face of opposition
by the cancer industry.”
Paul J. Rosch,
M.D., President, The American Institute of Stress:
“This book is about
a $1.4 million grant awarded by the National Cancer Institute in
1998 to do a controlled clinical trial comparing the
chemotherapeutic drug Gemzar to Dr. Gonzalez’ enzyme approach in
the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer.
Dr. Gonzalez
documents how the study was mismanaged, how he had no control
over the selection of patients, and how the protocol was
violated in numerous ways that were subsequently confirmed by
regulatory authorities. Yet, a misleading article was published
without his knowledge and none of the responsible parties were
ever admonished or held accountable.
This tragic tale
tends to support a growing suspicion that the cancer cartel of
organizations, government agencies and vested interests is
devoted more to preserving their enormous profits and
reputations than to the prevention and cure of cancer.”
Suzanne Somers,
actress and author:
“This is a story
that truly needed to be told. In this important book, Dr.
Gonzalez carefully details his serious well-intentioned attempt
to have his nutritional approach to cancer properly tested in a
National Cancer Institute clinical trial, only to have the
project mismanaged by the academic and government scientists in
charge.
It is a tale of
indifference, indifference to scientific truth and indifference
to patient well-being that reached right into the highest levels
of the cancer research world. It shows first hand the strong
biases against natural therapies among the powers that be that
keep useful treatments like his from seeing the light of day.
For those with an
interest in alternative medicine, and particularly for those who
still have faith in the integrity of our conventional medical
authorities, this book will be an eye-opener.
“Nick Gonzalez
is a wonderfully knowledgeable, completely dedicated, idealistic
physician. For my book
Knockout
I interviewed many of his patient successes who have conquered
terrible cancer with his treatment, so I know the regimen
works.
Hopefully, this book
will finally set the record straight about the NCI clinical
trial and help get this researcher the credit he deserves.”
Reviews
“I highly recommend
What Went Wrong… Gonzalez's
book shows us the deeply rooted institutional backlash that
infuses the study of an effective, individualized,
nonconventional therapy…
His experience is a
shot across the bow of all nonconventional practitioners who
strive to see their methods authentically evaluated and
validated. It is a contemporary history that we would all be
wise to study.”
Greg Nigh,
N.D., L.Ac., in
Natural Medicine Journal,
the official journal of the American Association of Naturopathic
Physicians
“As Dr. Gonzalez
reveals in his book What Went
Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme
Treatment of Cancer, poor trial design, poor
implementation at the highest levels of the research, and
improper supervision in the trial itself completely derailed the
study.
“The book also calls
into question the validity of double-blind placebo studies as
the gold standard of mainstream medicine. Dr. Gonzalez delves
into biases of scientific health community that make the fair
testing of unconventional treatments so difficult…
“Dr. Gonzalez’s
experience is a testament to the failure of mainstream
medicine.”
Alliance for Natural Health USA
“What
Went Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme
Treatment of Cancer excoriates the horrendous
mismanagement and subsequent cover-up of a National Cancer
Institute/National Institutes of Health clinical trial to study
author Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D.'s nutritional treatment
methods for patients diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic
cancer…
The therapy
was not properly evaluated or analyzed despite years of
so-called research, depriving future cancer patients accurate
information about all their treatment options.
What Went Wrong is a striking
case study of a scientific study gone terribly awry, and highly
recommended for science and medical professionals as well as for
concerned laypeople.”
