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.

The Third Leading Cause of Death in America: Medical Errors, Part 1
May 29, 2018
“To Err is Human” is the title of a soon-to-be-released documentary by writer/director/producer Mike Eisenberg. Medical mistakes are estimated to cause as many as 440,000 avoidable deaths in the U.S. each year—making them the #3 leading cause of death, trailing heart disease and cancer. How do these errors arise? How can they be prevented? Why is medicine lagging behind the aviation and nuclear industries in addressing avoidable errors? What lessons can be learned from industries that have successfully undertaken accident prevention programs? How can something as simple as routine hand washing by medical personnel reduce unnecessary infections? Why is the current malpractice system an imperfect deterrent to mistakes? Why should doctors be schooled in admitting errors? What role can patients and their advocates play in curbing this epidemic? How can transparency help eliminate errors? Can technology be harnessed to pre-empt procedural lapses? Click HERE for part 2.
