Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Isaacs
Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist, first at Time Inc., before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia. He then received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered the father of modern immunology, he completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Since 1987, Dr. Gonzalez has been in private practice in New York City, treating patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses. His nutritional research has received substantial financial support from Procter & Gamble and Nestle. Results from a pilot study published in 1999 described the most positive data in the medical literature for pancreatic cancer.
Linda L. Isaacs, M.D., received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kentucky, graduating with High Distinction with a major in biochemistry. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She subsequently received her medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1985. She completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Department of Veteran's Affairs Medical Center at New York University Medical School, and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. She has been working with Dr Gonzalez in his research efforts since 1985. Her website is atlindaisaacsmd.com.

Our Treatment Program
Although our published research deals with pancreatic cancer, in our office we treat patients with all types of cancers. We also treat patients with a variety of other problems, ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome to multiple sclerosis. Each treatment protocol is individualized for each patient, regardless of the underlying problem.
The regimen can be broken down into the following basic components: diet, supplements (with pancreas product for cancer patients) and detoxification routines such as coffee enemas.
Diet: The prescribed diets are quite variable, and can range from nearly vegetarian to diets requiring red meat 2-3 times a day. Each patient receives individualized dietary recommendations. All the diets, however, require that the patient consume primarily organic foods, make and drink fresh vegetable juice, and avoid synthetic and refined foods such as white flour and white sugar. (A more detailed explanation of the rationale behind the diets can be found in theinterview from Clinical Pearls News, or in an article from TotalHealth Magazine).
Supplements: Like the diets, the supplement protocols are individualized for each patient, depending on their health problems and biochemical makeup. The prescribed supplements include a variety of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, anti-oxidants, animal glandular concentrates and other food concentrates.
Pancreas Product (For Cancer Patients): The main anti-cancer supplement is a specially manufactured pancreas product (containing naturally occurring enzymes) made from pig pancreas. Click here to read more about the rationale for this. Cancer patients on this regimen take up to 45 grams of pancreas product a day, taken orally and spread throughout the day.
The pancreas product we use was developed by us specifically for use in this program
Overall, cancer patients will consume 130-175 capsules a day, including nutrients as well as pancreas product. Non-cancer patients might consume in the range of 80-100 capsules a day, the exact number depending on their health status and medical problems.
Detoxification: On this therapy, patients – whatever their underlying problem – routinely develop a variety of symptoms, most commonly described as “flu-like,” such as muscle aches and pains or malaise. We hypothesize these symptoms result from the body's repair processes which release all manner of waste material. “Detoxification” refers to procedures such as the coffee enema, which are believed to enhance liver function and in turn, the processing and excretion of metabolic wastes. The coffee enemas are done twice daily, and patients most commonly report symptomatic relief. (A more detailed discussion can be found in an article by Dr. Isaacs; click here to review.)
Our patients must comply with all three areas of the treatment for the greatest chance of success.
