Wikipedia has not very good info about this doctor so I will take his recommendation with grain of salt.
" Gonzalez protocol
The Gonzalez protocol is based on two major concepts: the pancreas (like the liver) provides a detoxification function via pancreatic enzymes that help the body eliminate toxins and help normal cells repair damaged cells, and cancer (and other human illness) are related to physiological imbalances created by toxins from food and the environment.[6]
The Gonzalez protocol is "a complex cancer treatment that is tailored by the practitioner for each specific patient".[6] The protocol involves:
* Pancreatic enzymes, derived from porcine sources,[5] taken orally
* Specific diets, extracts of animal organs, vitamin and mineral supplements, and coffee enemas (twice a day[3])
The large number of pills taken each day (approximately 150) and strict dietary restrictions makes patient compliance difficult.[6]
The regimen was reported to be ineffective compared to chemotherapy in a controlled, observational study published in August 2009. No discussion of compliance with the regimen was included in the publication. Patients receiving the Gonzales protocol died three times faster than those receiving conventional chemotherapy, in addition to reporting significantly worse quality of life.[7]
[edit] Rejection by mainstream medicine
Like his mentor, William Donald Kelley, Gonzalez's treatment method has been "rejected" by the "medical establishment".[1] Gonzalez has been characterized as a quack and fraud by other doctors[3] and health fraud watchdog groups, and in 1994 was reprimanded and placed on two years' probation by the New York state medical board for "departing from accepted practice".[1][3] Forced to submit to psychological examinations and undergo retraining,[3] Gonzalez was given two years of probation with a stipulation that he undergo retraining and do 200 hours of community service, which he completed satisfactorily.[8] He is currently fully licensed to practice in New York.[9]
Gonzalez has lost two malpractice lawsuits. In 1997, a New York court found Gonzalez "negligent" for his cancer treatment;[10][11] according to news reports, Gonzalez "had to pay $2.5 million in damages to a patient he wrongly claimed to have cured" of cancer.[12][13] The former patient had been diagnosed with uterine cancer but "Gonzalez discouraged her from following through on her cancer specialist's advice, instead recommending dietary supplements and frequent coffee enemas".[14] The patient had refused both standard treatment and an experimental protocol, but after the cancer spread to her spine, she discontinued Gonzalez's treatment and received chemotherapy and external beam radiation. Sometime in this period, she began having problems with her eyesight, back and hip, and she eventually became blind.[13][15] In 2000, Gonzalez was found partly liable (49%) in the death of a patient with Hodgkin's disease and ordered to pay $282,000 in damages, due to his use of an unproven cancer screening method instead of standard cancer testing.[16]
The American Cancer Society notes that there is "no convincing scientific evidence that [the Gonzalez treatment] is effective in treating cancer" and that some portions of the treatment may be harmful. A review article from the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology is cited that notes the clinical efficacy of coffee enemas has not been proven and the therapy is associated with severe adverse effects previously described in a few case reports. Gonzalez's study published in Nutrition and Cancer in 1999 was criticized by an expert in integrative oncology research methods for its small sample size, selection bias, and failure to account for confounders
