2. The Gonzalez Regimen is a cancer diet therapy designed more specifically for
patients with pancreatic cancer. This complex treatment plan is composed of
pancreatic enzymes found in pigs along with vitamins and minerals for a complete
cancer nutrition package.
Gonzalez Diet for Cancer
The therapy is shown to rid toxins from the body, balance the nervous system, and
keep a healthy immune system. This complex plan is broken down into three major
parts; a diet, coffee enema, and pancreas enzymes.
Diet Coffee Enema Enzymes
The diet is completely
variable, however only
organic foods are
recommended.
A coffee enema is taken
twice daily to enhance
liver functions that
control metabolic wastes
to help prevent flu-like
symptoms from the
detoxification.
The pancreas enzymes
are taken in a capsule by
mouth (around 45g of
pancreas daily); 130-160
doses of other nutrition
supplements are taken
by mouth daily.

3. Our Day’s Menu
The Gonzalez diet is extremely variable so patients are broken down into metabolic categories. Patients
with solid epithelial tumors in the lung, pancreas, breast, colon, prostate, uterus, etc. do best on a largely
plant based diet. Patients with blood and immune based malignancies such as leukemia, myeloma, and
lymphoma do best on high-animal protein or high-fat diet.

My Day’s Menu
♥ My Mother has breast cancer so I decided to come up with
a day’s menu based off her conditions.
I recommend Garden of Life Raw Protein shakes some days!

6. Adequacy: Good
Consensus Statement
LindseyArtman
Balance: Unbalanced, because the type of cancer the PT has will effect what
their diet consist of. Some diets are plant based with little meat while others are
red meat based with little plant.
Calorically Sound: Yes
Nutrient Density: Yes, whether the medical condition requires a plant based or
red meat based diet the PT will still need to meet RDAs of everything.
Variety: Yes! The Gonzalez diet is extremely variable.
Expense: Average
Time: Lifelong, this diet is used to treat chronic diseases.
Based on Scientific Support: Yes (http://www.dr-gonzalez.com/case_reports.htm)
