Sunday on The Robert Scott Bell Show:

Special Guest Mary Beth Gonzalez!

Mary Beth Gonzalez is the wife and widow of Dr. Gonzalez. She founded The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation a few months after Dr. Gonzalez died in 2015. Mary Beth proudly carries the torch for her late husband so that Dr. Gonzalez’s legacy of healing through nutrition is accessible to the world. She is motivated by his enduring love for his patients and by her sincere belief in his protocol. The effectiveness of his work confirmed to her repeatedly that this was groundbreaking knowledge that could change the face of modern medicine.

For more than 30 years, Mary Beth helped New York City-based business thrive through rapidly changing environments with her own blend of strategy and perseverance, creativity and analysis. Her strengths in driving revenue and brand growth propelled her into senior sales and marketing leadership roles at established brands such as Time Inc., NBC Universal, and Univision as well as start-up companies. Throughout her career, Mary Beth developed partnerships and content for several leading health websites. She is a builder of brands that educate and connect people to products and services that make meaningful differences in their lives.

During their 15 years together, Mary Beth consulted for Dr. Gonzalez on many aspects of his private medical practice. While Dr. Gonzalez was the quarterback, linebacker and defensive end, Mary Beth was the coach. She managed his office staff recruiting, created his lecture presentations, supervised his speaking appearances and oversaw his website development. At conferences, Mary Beth managed book and DVD sales booths and guided people to the content that best suited their needs. On an informal basis, Dr. Gonzalez and Mary Beth often discussed the importance of sustaining The Gonzalez Protocol® and the business challenges of running a single practitioner office of alternative medicine. Her love for him and her faith in his brilliance drive her daily to ensure that his protocol remains available to all who seek to heal through nutrition. She has been on The Gonzalez Protocol® for preventative health since her third date with Dr. Gonzalez in 2000.

Mary Beth is a cum laude graduate of Middlebury College with a B.A. degree in English and economics. She is the CEO of Gonzalez Guidance Group LLC, Publisher of New Spring Press and the Founder, President and Treasurer of The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation.


You Don’t Have Cancer

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10

Hearing the words “You have cancer” is scary. Cancer is inconvenient and cancer is disruptive. Cancer is a signal on many levels which serves to warn that your physical, emotional, and spiritual life is out of balance, but cancer is not a destination.

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. (1947-2015) often told his cancer patients that their illness could be managed in much the same way that people manage diabetes. In other words, he believed that treating cancer effectively requires making lifestyle changes that enable the body to heal itself. He knew this from vast and hard-earned clinical experience. For nearly 30 years, he treated all types of cancer with The Gonzalez Protocol® and documented the best results in the history of medicine.

One of the most important things that you can do if you hear this diagnosis is to realize that you don’t have cancer. Cancer doesn’t possess you, nor does it define you. Cancer is a diagnosis. Cancer is an unwelcome, toxic invasion into your healthy body that can be dealt with, while you visualize yourself healed and healthy. Maintaining this positive outlook provides you with the fuel for coping with this diagnosis. Read More…


Announcing The Gonzalez Guardians! This group of dedicated scientists and past patients have been fueling an invisible medical revolution ever since Nicholas Gonzalez M.D. died in 2015. Together we are bringing The Gonzalez Protocol® to doctors and patients around the world. Our team of Gonzalez Guardians have worked quietly behind the front lines for years to protect Dr. Gonzalez’s protocols. We built an extensive curriculum and educational program for doctors interested in learning how Dr. Gonzalez achieved such effective results in treating the most deadly diseases and in educating people on how to build healthy lifestyles.

Without Dr. Gonzalez here to carry on his work, The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation committed to shining a bright light on Dr. Gonzalez’s life-saving natural treatments. We refused to allow Dr. Gonzalez’s groundbreaking protocols to be extinguished, altered or fade into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley and Dr. John Beard.

Now we are pleased to announce that several doctors from around the world have joined The Gonzalez Guardians and recently completed our 2021 Educational Seminar in The Gonzalez Protocol®. Prospective patients can now APPLY to connect with a doctor offering this nutritional enzyme treatment for cancer and other degenerative diseases.

If Dr. Gonzalez were alive today…

We believe he would be smiling from ear to ear. We believe he would be thrilled that so many people like yourself are interested in learning about The Gonzalez Protocol®. We believe he would be pleased at the progress our small, non-profit foundation has made to secure his legacy and the future availability of his nutritional protocol.

We know that without Dr. Gonzalez himself here to drive this work forward, his groundbreaking protocols are in danger of fading into oblivion like the brilliant work of his mentors Dr. William Donald Kelley and Dr. John Beard.

Prior to his unexpected death on July 21, 2015, Dr. Gonzalez meticulously documented the scientific theory of his work and proved its effectiveness. He published several books and recorded hundreds of hours of interviews and lectures. He wrote more than 120 in-depth patient cancer case studies — the result of a lifetime of research and groundbreaking patient care — case studies that would publicly legitimize a whole new approach to nothing less than curing cancer. All kinds of cancer.

Today, we invite you to join our movement

“Dr. Nick”, as his patients called him, never gave up and now, in his footsteps, we have taken the baton despite the many obstacles placed on our path. We encourage you to become part of the winning team that keeps Dr. Gonzalez’s life’s work alive and brings his life-saving work to patients around the world.


BOOK EXCERPT- The Maverick M.D.  “Babies calling Babies,” Nick dialed Mary Beth on the phone at the end of the day on September 4, 2008. Both Nick and Mary Beth referred to
each other by the nickname “Babies,” and he always called her just before he was about to go out the door of his office and depart for home—often as late as 8:00 or 9:00 P.M. When Mary Beth received the call, she started steaming vegetables for their dinner, and as soon as he arrived, they would sit down to eat together.

Immediately, on the other end of the line, Mary Beth could tell that Nick was upset, more upset than usual in these long grueling years of the clinical trial. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s over,” he said. “The trial?”
“The trial, my research, my practice, my career. Take your pick.”
“What happened?”
“Tell you when I get there.”

Briefcase in hand, Nick walked up Fifth Avenue toward his apartment building as he did most nights, his shoes clicking the pavement of the sidewalk. Past Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany’s, and Trump Tower, Nick got angrier and more worried with each step. The trial had already done damage to his reputation. The word was out about the purported results and his numbers of new patients were down. His expenses were up. The cost of his office suite climbed every year as did his malpractice insurance. His apartment, too, wasn’t cheap. But most of all, his twenty years of research were over. Tanked.

The Maverick M.D.: Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and His Fight for a New Cancer Treatment Why would no one believe the Ivy-League trained Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. when a pilot study for his treatment of pancreatic cancer showed promising results? Gonzalez worked as a lone wolf, removed from the inner circle of cancer research that he so revered. He, his patients, his wife, and a handful of prominent scientists and supporters thought he was onto something–a nutritional approach to cancer and other degenerative diseases–that was beyond the imaginations of mainstream medicine. Gonzalez could have gone to Mexico where his family had lived and set up a cancer clinic alongside other alternative practitioners. Instead, he stayed in New York City, secured the funding, and fought to have his protocol tested through a properly run clinical trial. The Maverick, M.D. dramatizes Nicholas Gonzalez’ backstory and his battles with the forces that sought to squelch his research, keeping his healing discoveries in medicine from reaching the world.

Proof of Concept – 25 Best Cancer Cases Presented to the National Cancer Institute In 1993, Nicholas Gonzalez, M.D. presented his best 25 cancer patient cases to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This is Dr. Gonzalez’s original presentation including the appropriate medical records confirming each diagnosis. The Gonzalez Protocol is based on the enzyme treatment for cancer. At this early stage in his medical practice, Dr. Gonzalez was optimistic and believed that if he could prove that his protocol was effective for treating cancer, the NCI would support his nutritional cancer research. This presentation includes cases of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, sarcoma and thyroid cancer.
