15: The Maverick MD - The Doctor Who Followed The Science, Not The System

from Your Way Back · host Mary Beth Gonzalez

Explore the life and work of Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, a physician who challenged conventional thinking in cancer treatment and followed an unconventional path in medicine. Get your copy of The Maverick M.D.: Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and His Fight for a New Cancer Treatment. It is a great introduction to the treatment program written in layman's terms. Find it on New Spring Press or Amazon.Mary Swander went to nine doctors who shrugged at her bleeding fibroid tumors and told her she didn't have cancer, so go home.Before Mary found Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, she was bleeding from fibroid tumors, turning blue, barely able to stand, and every clinic told her the same thing: You don't have cancer, goodbye.Thirty years later, she's still on the protocol that brought her back. She also wrote the official biography of the man who built it.This conversation pulls apart the parts of Dr. Gonzalez's work that get reduced to a punchline, including the coffee enema, the metabolic typing, and the idea that one diet doesn't heal everyone. Mary's own DNA test confirmed what Dr. Gonzalez told her from a hair sample: her ancestry traced back to Viking and far-northern populations, and her body needed meat, fat, and almost no fruit to function.She also talks about what she saw behind the public attacks on his license, the mentors who held him up, and the entire family with Lyme disease who were all bedridden until the protocol got each of them back on their feet.You’ll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:21] The hidden spirituality behind Dr. Gonzalez's work[09:54] The deathbed vow that changed everything[15:12] The note handed to him in Switzerland[17:53] The truth about coffee enemas[21:00] Bleeding to death with no diagnosis[27:22] The sentence he remembered five years later[43:12] Why the “healthy diet” was making her worse[49:53] The family bedridden with Lyme disease[57:56] What separates those who heal from those who quit[1:08:35] Nutritional, psychological, or spiritual?Resources Mentioned:Atlas Orthogonal Work | WebsiteGonzalez Metabolic Type Test | WebsiteCollection of Books by Our Patients | BooksFollow Mary Swander on Substack.Find more from Mary:Mary Swander | WebsiteFind more from Mary Beth:The Gonzalez Protocol® | WebsiteThe Gonzalez Protocol® | InstagramJoin the Truly Thrive Membership for just $60 annually, and get full access to exclusive members-only content, including bonus content and product coupons.
