Nicholas Gonzalez Cancer Juicing
ANNOUNCER: Hello, it's no secret that people with advanced cancer need immediate nutrition.
In this video Dr. Nick Gonzalez explains why juicing is an essential part of his therapy.
Enjoy the video!
INTERVIEWER: Doctor, can you talk about juicing a little bit? How important is that as a therapy?
DR.GONZALEZ: All our patients juice whatever their diet, whether they are meat eaters or
vegetarians. The amount varies, our vegetarian patients always need more. The purpose of
juice is your concentrating all the vitamins, minerals, trace elements in enzyme in complete
raw form. Now, it's true when you juice you are getting rid of the fiber. Fiber is an
important nutrient, you know, but on the other hand the Eskimos never ate fiber and they
never had constipation either, it depends on who you are, but yeah, fiber can be a useful
nutrient, but the purpose of juicing is you're concentrating all the nutrients and without
the fiber it's like pre-digested food, and a lot of our advanced cancer patients don't
have a lot of extra energy and digestion could take energy.
With juicing you are kind of pre-digesting, and it's all raw and it's all there. You get
rid of the fiber, it's like instantly absorbed. You get all this nutritional bolus of good
stuff right into the body very quickly. The patient doesn't have to expend a lot of energy.
For advanced cancer patients it can be life-saving to get all this good nutrition in there simply
and easily, and also juicing because it's raw has all the enzymes. We don't tend to
think of enzymes as a nutrient, but every cell whether it's from a plant or an animal
food contains hundreds, and in fact, thousands of enzymes as part of its normal metabolic
machinery. Enzymes are catalysts that allow biochemical reactions to occur very efficiently
and every cell and every organism in the world has hundreds and thousands of enzymes.
Dr. Edward Howe was a great American researcher who spent 50 years of his life showing that
these enzymes from food can be absorbed like a vitamin and mineral and help the body repair,
rebuild and fight disease, even cancer. However, they are very heat sensitive. When you heat
food, you destroy some of the vitamins like vitamin C, folic acid, some of the minerals
like calcium become less available, but these food enzymes that Howe talked about above
117 degrees Fahrenheit are neutralized and it knocks out. He was a big proponent of eating
raw foods, but juicing is a good way to get enzymes into a body from the food in the pure
form without any damage, so it has a lot of value. It doesn't require a lot of energy,
it's all concentrated and all the enzymes are there because it hasn't been heated, and
it's absorbed very quickly so you've got a rapid supply of nutrients into these very
sick people.
INTERVIEWER: And what if you are not sick?
DR.GONZALEZ: Oh, I juice myself. I don't juice as much as my sick patients. I think juicing
is valid for everybody. You're getting nutritional benefit quickly and easily right into the
body in a concentrated form, you couldn't ask for anything better.
