The damaged stem cell acts as an embryo and attaches to normal tissue by the same mechanism a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus, using tiny protein pieces as hooks. The damaged cell responds to female hormones like estrogen and growth hormones that tell it to divide and multiply. A tumor then forms that metabolizes food from the blood supply of the normal tissue where it is attached. In a real pregnancy, the baby's pancreas develops and the enzymes it produces eventually dissolve the attaching tissue. The main side effect of the dissolving process in pregnancy is known as "morning sickness". A healing mechanism available to dissolve the attachment we call cancer is the same pancreatin enzymes. The side effects of pancreatin enzyme therapy for cancer treatment are similar to morning sickness.
Older people are known to be more susceptible to cancers. As people age, cell damage may accumulate from normal wear and tear. The viability of the pancreas to manufacture sufficient enzymes, the mechanism to activate them, and the ability to transport them to the injury site are also probably adversely affected as people age. In order for this pancreatin healing mechanism to work, the pancreatin must be both present and "activated". Of course, cancer afflicts both men and women despite requiring female hormones. This is because even males have a plentiful supply of female hormones. In addition to occurring naturally, they abound in our food supply from many sources including meats and dairy products. Chemicals in cosmetics and sunscreens may also have estrogenic properties. Other hormones may also strongly influence the cancer growth rate.
Consuming protein rich foods at inappropriate times or in excessive amounts can result in a lack of pancreatin enzymes available to fight cancers that occur. Because protein digestion shares the use of the same cancer fighting enzymes, the body needs a time span each day approaching twelve hours or more without protein consumption for its cancer defense mechanism to work optimally. Today proteins are looked upon as super healthy, if not by default because fats and carbohydrates have been villianized. People are eating more protein more often. It turns out the body needs about six hours to digest proteins. The body also needs several hours after that to use the pancreatin it produces to destroy naturally occurring cancers. With three protein intensive meals a day and even an additional protein intensive late night snack, there may not be a long enough period without protein for the pancreatin that the body produces to be used to tackle the task of cancer eradication. Here is another quirk of cancer: It needs a protein intensive food supply to grow that it is also able to sap from muscles in the body so that the afflicted person may crave protein even more. This leads to a snowball effect.
Cancer fighting pancreatin enzymes can be destroyed by contact with acids. Many popular cosmetics that contain acids are a special concern for skin cancer. Also, a diet comprised mostly of refined foods and meats may result in an acidic body chemistry that depletes these enzymes.
Cancer cells metabolize foods inefficiently and generate very acidic wastes. This extra acidity can compound an already bad environment for pancreatin enzymes. A cancer tumor typically has very poor internal circulation because its structure is formed randomly. This poor circulation allows an acid barrier to develop around the cancer because the acidic wastes are not swept away. The acid envelope keeps out the enzymes the body provides to destroy the cancer. The excess acidity also enables the cancer to spread by dissolving adjacent normal cells as its food source, essentially creating its own independent digestive system. This acid barrier is responsible for most of the damage and pain associated with cancers. I experienced a burning sensation with my skin cancers. Probably this burning pain was due to the strong acid barrier surrounding the site, engulfing normal cells as it grew. I think this strongly acidic environment, especially local to the cancer, is the primary reason that cancer does not normally heal on its own.
Pancreatin enzymes can also be destroyed by contact with alcohols. Consuming alcohol can therefore interfere with the pancreatin defense mechanism. Many popular cosmetics that contain alcohols are a special concern for skin cancer. Sugar alcohols used as sweeteners in many products are also potentially a concern.
A few words are necessary regarding protease inhibitors, a new class of drugs used to fight both HIV (AIDS) and cancer. Proteases are enzymes in the pancreatin enzyme mix that help to break down protein into amino acids and peptides. The fact that these drugs are successful would appear to put a snag into this theory of using pancreatin enzymes to kill cancer cells, but both approaches are viable because they work on different mechanisms for cancer. Protease inhibitors slow down the growth of established cancer cells by preventing them from physically hooking (using broken down proteins) into the blood supply for nourishment. Other methods such as radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery are required to actually kill the cancer cells. Protease inhibitors can at best manage the disease for a period of time, and exacerbate an already enzyme depleted condition. Of course, protease inhibitor use is incompatible with the use of pancreatin enzymes to overwhelm and break up the cancer cells, and vice versa. A key point that should be learned from this is that low pancreatin doses for cancer treatment may do more harm than good for established cancers especially if other strategies are not used to slow down the rate of the growth. Fortunately, there are many other strategies available to slow cancer growth based on inhibiting hormones and reducing the amount of protein (and broken down protein pieces) available to the cancer. In terms of using pancreatin enzyme supplements, it would appear that higher doses are preferable to lower doses to make the rate of killing cancer cells much greater than the ability of the cancer cells to grow.
This is a simple but elegant theory that explains most if not all cancer. One of the arguments presented against enzyme therapy for cancer treatment is that is based on a turn of the last century understanding of cancer pioneered by , so it can't be right because it is too old. The other argument is there is no proof of its effectiveness. From what I have read, John Beard was a brilliant embryologist who came up with a model of cancer that precisely matches the disease. Cancer science in the the past century has been mostly ineffective because it lacks the foundation of a plausible model. Developing a model is the first basic step needed to understand and then effectively address a problem. John Beard's model is especially appealing because it is simple and applies to any type of cancer. It enables us to treat the causes of cancer rather than just its symptoms. On the topic of effectiveness, five year survival rates for many types of cancer treated by the best of conventional methods (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) are still less than 10%, just as they were 40 years ago. I believe this is because the "accepted" cancer model (whatever that is) is either missing, flawed, or too complex to be useful. The proof of the value of John Beard's model is the success of thousands of people using it over many years to prevent and treat a variety of cancers. Dr. Kelley is a survivor of cancer of the pancreas (5 year survival rate of about 4% with conventional treatments). He claimed to have about an 85% success rate treating thousands of cancers over several decades. One factor limiting his success is that often people would come to him in extremely poor condition after exhausting conventional treatments. Another factor was the intense opposition to his work, in part because he was a doctor of dentistry and not medicine.
I found out about the healing power of pancreatin enzymes before becoming aware of them. I have used pancreatin enzyme based treatments successfully on two potential skin cancers. On the first lesion recommended for a biopsy by a dermatologist as a probable squamous cell carcinoma, I used a topical pancreatin enzyme preparation (actually a mosquito bite remedy) that I more or less stumbled upon. On a second lesion with skin cancer symptoms, I used oral pancreatin enzyme supplements along with several other strategies based on the three causal factors found in Dr. Kelley's book. In both instances, healing progress was noticeable within a few days, fairly complete healing took several weeks. From these experiences, I have detailed many free or inexpensive, easy-to-try home remedy strategies. My goal is to help afflicted people learn in detail about alternatives and options that may be useful to them, without promoting anything for sale or offering medical advice. Of course, any alternative cancer treatment should be approached with considerable caution and with the understanding that you experiment with it entirely at your own risk.
