Have not heard of Dr. Gonzalez before. I think the area of enzymes and how they impact us is an area that has been neglected in the US and probably could use more research. There is a book called "Enzymes- The Fountain of Life" which is pretty interesting. A lot of the book is very technical and was hard for me to comprehend but the chapter on cancer was very good. Having said that, as I read the first case study my jaw almost hit the floor when I saw this:
"For our melanoma patients, we always prescribe a diet that emphasizes red meat, with the fat, preferably more than once a day. We forbid certain commonly enjoyed vegetables, such as leafy greens, and allow fruit only once a day, and never citrus. Such recommendations countered most expert recommendations emphasizing “low fat” and “no meat” that dominated the orthodox and alternative world during the 1990’s, particularly in regard to cancer."
Maybe he's on to something but I think it would be a pretty big leap of faith to try something like that. Also curious why all three case studies are so old.
Hope someone chimes in with some experience with Dr. Gonzalez. I'd be very interested to hear what they have to say.

I thought about that also DZnDef. It also may be a case of their website not being that up to date on their case studies. I'll be interested to hear what you think about your upcoming consult. I think seeking complimentary treatment is a smart think to do. You may want to check out this website. Keith Block is fairly well known and respected in the world of complimentary treatment. I think he's located near Chicago.

I have been seriously considering contacting Dr. Gonzalez as I consider my own treatment options. I was pulling together the paperwork today to send to him when I received a call from a Naturopathic doctor to schedule an appointment with her this coming Tuesday (my oncologist referred me). Her focus is complementary medicine. I may still contact Dr. Gonzalez as I have read much about him and listened to his interviews on Dr. Mercola's website. His metabolic typing makes sense to me (not one diet fits all). I'd like to try something natural first and use the standard drug treatment only if natural doesn't work. But I haven't gotten the courage to commit to Alternative yet. Would love to find out if you decide to go that route. It feels like a lonely path, unfortunately.
