The Truth About Cancer<br />

[ph], now retired and has a sailboat and sails around <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean.<br />

He set up a research group to travel <strong>the</strong> world looking for alternative<br />

<strong>the</strong>rapies that might be useful. This is genius people. They don’t tend to<br />

have prejudices. They just want to see what works. I don’t care if it’s<br />

moon dust or spooky stuff or radioactive waves. They don’t care as long<br />

as it works. So <strong>the</strong>y actually set up a division very quietly, highly funded,<br />

and <strong>the</strong>y sent a team around <strong>the</strong> world from jungles of New Guinea to<br />

New York to me.<br />

Ty: A division within Nestle<br />

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez: With Nestle to look into alternative <strong>the</strong>rapies,<br />

unknown, never was publicized. And <strong>the</strong>y traveled <strong>the</strong> world. and one<br />

day I got a phone call. I’m going off on a tangent <strong>about</strong> enzymes. But<br />

you can edit this down.<br />

Ty: No, this is great stuff.<br />

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez: I get a call from <strong>the</strong> research director at<br />

Nestle. I said what <strong>the</strong> heck does <strong>the</strong> research director at Nestle want to<br />

do with me And I didn’t, you know. And <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y told me his name<br />

was Pierre Gassier. I said that rings a bell. And so this is before internet<br />

so you couldn’t Google. But you know, I found a way. And I said, oh, this<br />

is <strong>the</strong> guy who ran <strong>the</strong> Pasteur Institute. So I called him back, he said I<br />

want to come to New York and meet with you. I go you want to meet<br />

with me, why He says, I don’t eat chocolate. He said, no—he<br />

laughed—nothing to do with chocolate. He explained that <strong>the</strong>y had been<br />

looking to do alternative <strong>the</strong>rapies and my name kept coming up. And<br />

he wanted to meet with me. And so he met with me and <strong>the</strong> end result is<br />

Nestle agreed to fund studies. They funded our first clinical study that<br />

was very successful with pancreatic <strong>cancer</strong> in humans but also animal<br />

studies back in 2002 – 2004 that were done at <strong>the</strong> University of<br />

Nebraska by Parviz Pour—P-o-u-r—who’s one of <strong>the</strong> preeminent<br />

researchers in <strong>the</strong> molecular biology of pancreatic <strong>cancer</strong>. And Dr. Pour<br />

developed an animal model for pancreatic <strong>cancer</strong> that <strong>the</strong>y used in our<br />

study. And he used <strong>the</strong> most aggressive animal model at his disposal<br />

and Nestle funded him to do this. They were going to really put my<br />

enzymes to <strong>the</strong> test. And it was extremely successful and Pour told me<br />

that this is <strong>the</strong> first time in his lifetime that he saw this particular model<br />

respond to anything. It didn’t respond to chemo, anything. So he was<br />

very impressed and published it in a peer reviewed journal, pancreas—I<br />

think it was in 2004. We have copies around.<br />

So we know from animal models <strong>the</strong>y worked for my first clinical study<br />

and we know that it works but we don’t know <strong>the</strong> molecular biology to<br />

answer to your question. We don’t know how it actually kills <strong>cancer</strong><br />
