ENCORE: Innovative Protocols for Cancer, Part 1
May 31, 2018
Long-time colleague of the late Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, Linda Isaacs MD, describes their innovative protocols for cancer and other challenging medical conditions. Their approach derives from the pioneering work Dr. William Kelly: Metabolic typing, use of pancreatic enzymes, and detoxification via procedures like the coffee enema. It’s radically different from most “standard” alternative cancer paradigms. Different diets—ranging from vegetarian to high-animal fat—are prescribed according to a patient’s constitution and physiological imbalances. What types of patients are suitable for the Gonzalez/isaacs approach? Why is a one-size-fits-all diet approach inappropriate for treating all cancers? Why are supplements highly-individualized for different patients? What’s the rationale behind coffee enemas? What research supports the effectiveness of these methods? What advice does Dr. Isaacs offer to patients confronted with the dilemma of choosing whether to undertake conventional cancer care, or seek alternatives? Does the protocol help resolve other complex medical problems? Click HERE for part 2.
