The Truth about Cancer

I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the work of Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez in NYC ... he has a three prong protocol for cancer treatment which is supplements &enzymes, diet and detoxification...I would be interested to hear what anyone might know about him...thanks!

He is big June ... and Im really heading in that direction... I just wish I could speak to people who actually treated with him ...  I am ready to submit my packet to him hoping to be accepted as a patient but I also started xeloda today because his process in a bit lengthy and I dont want to be untreated for another 4 weeks with liver mets while Im waiting to see about him....should I choose his path I wiuld have to stop the chemo...but for now Im not willing to go untreated .. the supplement regime is definitely pricey ... like $800 plus a month!! I have listened to many of his interviews and understand that people are really thriving on his protocol....key being prancreatic enzymes. ???

Never apologize for your sarcasm...it's well paid for.  I've been on /off sites for 7 years, was dx'd at stg 4 due to misread mammogram, so I know all about sarcasm....it's well deserved.  I have NEVER had chemo...even after all these years, my onco still tries to talk me into chemo, but I will never relent.  I know it is a killer. onco's don't like it one little bit when you outlive their dire forecast.  I've had this beast living in me since 2008 according to onco's.  I have watched friends and family pass from this scourge.  I have screamed from top of my lungs stop killing yourself, but I know the pull of medical science is very difficult to turn away from, but if you read the stats, it's a miserable cure rate, then when you see that 78% of polled onco's say they would refuse chemo if they or family got cancer, I cannot understand the reluctance.  I refused surgical mastectomy and opted for laser sugery.  I know it saved my life and has given me these many years.  Onco's won't tell you about alternatives, cancer is the gift that keeps on giving, will bring in a million plus from dx to end day chemo, it keeps the hospital doors swinging open.  I refuse to be just a name on a file folder because I have good insurance.   All the pink ribbons, runs, rallies, etc may make you feel good, but I've yet to hear any of that has cured a single case of cancer.  If only people would use their  intellect over emotion, then, maybe....we would see a difference....so, how's that for sarcasm... Anyone who is first dx'd with breast cancer should immediately have laser surgery, it completely cleans out the chest wall, surgery only allows cancer cells to get into the lymph and blood system and invade the entire body.  Look for Breastcancerlasersurgery,, no pain, no disfigurement, no recuperation, no need for reconstruction.   I just do not understand why anyone would succumb to such a barbaric surgery when something so much easier and has a better cure rate is overlooked.  Sure saved me and I don't care if my onco's are happy or not, they really don't have a clue.  Mine couldn't even tell me what cancer is ....forget that one cell that goes haywire routine.  Cancer is anaerobic, it cannot live or produce more cancer in an oxygenated environment,, there are many ways to achieve ph balance in your body.  Chemo is not on the list!  Just be smart, your body, your decision.

June, it is this guy: Ansanelli and he is in NY. I looked him up several years ago, and it is still not entirely clear to me exactly how he does this surgery. I imagine it might work for tiny and/or clearly defined tumors, but it is difficult for me to imagine how it could substitute for a mastectomy in a case like mine, with a diffuse tumor and LCIS all over the place. He is, however, a legitimate, certified oncologist, as far as I can tell. 

I found a newspaper article about experimental use of lasers in BC treatment: Laser article

Dr. Ansanelli is literally one in a million. When I researched laser surgery he was the only dr in the country I could find who performed this amazing sx. I got 2 opinions and the first BS gave me no choice but a mast and complete node removal, the 2nd BS wanted to do neo chemo ACT to shrink the tumor to make the surgery easier for her. Both reasonable but my argument was that the 4.5cm tumor was small compared to my over sized breasts, and I was not willing to do the neo chemo. 

I agree that a wide spread ILC would not be a good choice for the laser, but he does do mast when needed. A clean and bloodless sx. Very small chance of cancer cell spread bc the co2 laser seals blood vessels and lymphatics as it removes the tumor, all under intravenous sedation. NO anesthesia! and he performed a mastopexy to reshape the breast and minimize deformity. Nice outcome except for a 6 inch scar at the tumor site which I tattooed with a vine of chilli peppers.

He takes insurance but it did cost me 3,500$ out of pocket....Well worth it.

His office is on park ave in NYC or Plainview Long Island, NY for surgery. I agree he saved my life..and my breast.

The laser does not vaporize the tumor. Dr A showed me the tumor after it was excised. Big, fatty looking and a black spot in the center of it. UGLY. 

It's not really clear what is going on with Abigail's breast but my tumor was very close to the surface and if I left it much longer I bet it would have popped through the skin. If you call them I'm sure they will answer your questions but he does require a DX sent to him or he can DX the situation. Traveling to LI is no fun and expensive if you need to stay at a hotel.

I grew up in Nyack area and my dad took to Dr Schachter when I was a kid....long before he started treating people for cancer....I did a consult with him and have attended many of his lectures...he's a real maverick and also very pricey....I will say that for the money they spend a lot of time with you on the initial intake and  work up ...I was there for hours....he's big into vitamin c infusions....apricot seeds and so much more ... treatment can cost a small fortune tho .. 

Juneping,

It is unfortunate that laser surgery is not offered. Dr A was trained in Italy and then did BC laser surgery in one of the big hospitals in NYC for years. I guess insurance covered it and he was on salary with the hospital and now has to charge more than the ins covers. that hospital F$$$'d him. IDK. Lots of intense training goes into this for surgeons and the cost of the laser is high. I'm assuming that the other surgeons in the hospital were losing business and profits to laser. He is training Drs to continue this remarkable procedure.

I had no need for reconstruction on that breast and I went from a EE cup to a large C, had a reduction on the other side. Laser makes for a clean line incision. IF I need a mast if I recur Dr A is my man.

Chef, thanks very much for the explanation.

Always is a strong word. Gary is not correct.

Abigail, I know many people who have had "the infusions" i.e. chemo and who have never had the cancer come back. My mother is one of them, my ex-BIL is another, and he had treatment 35 years ago. Gary is not a medical professional and holds some esoteric beliefs, so although he is entitled like anyone to express an opinion, one should not consider him any kind of authority on medical matters.

tried once again to sign up by internet.  have written the ss office twice with return receipt registered mail, have contacted my house representative for this district & even voted for him despite his horrendous voting record:  voting the exact opposite of what he promises), got 2 letters back from him plus a paper which I signed & returned which he says will expedize his help.  tried phoning th us ss office, on hod for 15 minutes the voice kept saying go to the internet.  next move to get another birth certificate from ca,  ss local, (an hr away & I don't drive) said the copy I sent they couldn't accept.  I was told if I sent the original copy I'd never get it back.  

already did.  didn't work

will this link help you?

Abigail, I thought that might be why. Why do you not have social security?
