William Donald Kelley - The Gonzalez Regimen

The Gonzalez Regimen

In the 1980s, New York physician Nicholas Gonzalez started to develop and investigate Kelley's methods further. A randomized phase III clinical trial for the possible treatment of pancreatic cancer with the Gonzalez Regimen was funded by a $1.4 million grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and co-sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, awarded in 1999 to Columbia University's Rosenthal Center for Alternative Medicine. The results of a clinical trial of the Gonzalez regimen on patients with pancreatic cancer were reported in 2009; compared to patients receiving conventional care, those taking part in the Gonzalez regimen died faster and experienced worse quality of life.
