Nutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System: The Scientific Foundations of the Gonzalez Protocol

WINNER OF 2018 BOOK EXCELLENCE AWARD in the Diet & Nutrition Category. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez (developer of The Gonzalez Protocol for the treatment of cancer and many other degenerative diseases) explains the importance of nutrition in maintaining and restoring the autonomic nervous system balance that is so crucial to good health. He describes how individual variation in nervous system function means that different individuals require different types of diets (ranging from largely raw food and vegetarian to diets high in fatty red meat, and every variation in between) in order to achieve good health. Drawing upon more than twenty-five years of private practice in New York, and prior research by Drs. Pottenger, Gellhorn, and Kelley, he also explains why nutritional supplementation protocols similarly need to be individualized for optimal autonomic nervous system function. While this book is not a how-to manual, reading it will help you better understand how to maintain or improve your own health-or, if you are a health professional, to better assist your patients to remain healthy or recover from illness-without potentially harmful medications. Discover the secret of how different nutrients regulate the nervous system. Have you ever wondered why "one size fits all" diets don't work for everyone? We are all unique individuals. Learn how a personalized diet and nutritional supplement program promotes good health by balancing the functions of the autonomic nervous system. In addition to winning the 2018 Book Excellence Award in the "Diet & Nutrition" category, this book was a Finalist in the "Health: Diet & Exercise" category of the 2017 BEST BOOK AWARDS.
