ABSTRACT
The
theory that malignant cancers are false-placentas (partial
pregnancies) was first formulated by the Scottish embryologist John
Beard in 1902. Beard found that substances secreted by the pancreas
would inhibit the growth of cancers before they develop but are missing
in the blood of cancer patients. These substances, the digestive enzymes
trypsin (and the trypsin precursor chymotrypsin),
reportedly “cure” (digest) 100% of fast-growing cancers when
taken orally at an extremely high dosage. This author has found evidence
that it may be possible to achieve the same cancer-digestive effect,
with lower enzyme dosages, by enhancing trypsin's enzyme activity with
certain supplements.
THEORY
John
Beard was a brilliant biologist whose main research interest was
pregnancy, and the placenta in particular. He made or confirmed several
crucial observations that led to his theory of cancer. He observed under
the microscope that the trophoblast cells that form the placenta looked
like cancer cells. Beard then made an extraordinary observation: The
placenta stops growing on day 56 of the human pregnancy - on the same
day the fetus’s pancreas begins to function. He came to the
conclusion that the fetus’s pancreas secreted something that stopped
the growth of the placenta. He then surmised, and later proved, that the
same substance stopped the growth of malignant cancer. He set out to
determine what this pancreatic substance was.
Beard conducted experiments with the juices extracted from young animal
pancreases. These juices were injected into cancer tumors and the tumors
shrank in both animals and humans. Beard’s work was published in JAMA
and he wrote a book on the enzyme therapy for cancer. One hundred years
ago, physicians tried to duplicate Beard’s experimental results, but
they failed, and the work was almost forgotten.
We now know that “delicate” enzymes can lose their effectiveness if
not carefully extracted from young live stock. Even though trypsin was
one of the first proteins whose molecular sturcture was deciphered by
chemists in the 1960s, we are still not able to synthesize either
trypsin or chymotrypsin. As pure trypsin must be extracted intact from
young livestock, the cost of supplements with these enzymes is high. The
cost at the dosage recommended by enzyme/cancer experts may exceed $2000
per month.
HISTORY
We all begin our lives as a single undifferentiated cell. This cell
called a zygote, a sort of "super" stem cell, divides into
trillions of progeny. Living cells change after succeeding divisions in
the process of differentiation, but not all cells become muscle, bone,
eyes, teeth, hair, connective or other tissue. Some cells form into the
placenta, a trophoblastic layer of tissue that attaches to the uterine
wall during pregnancy. The placenta is discarded by the mother's body
after birth.
Beard, the first to observe that placenta cells resemble cancer cells,
also saw how malignant cancers act in the same way that placenta cells
do in the mother’s womb; -- they attach to the uterus and “eat”
through it to obtain a blood supply.
Beard also found other out-of-place trophoblast cells in great numbers
throughout the body. These cells are placenta-like, do not differentiate
into specific tissue, but lie dormant. Beard called these cells
“germ” cells. They have properties similar to stem cells, and Beard
believed that these cells are the seeds of cancer.
He theorized that, as we age, the germ cells are likely to receive a
signal that causes them to begin growing. The conditions that induce
growth might include a hormonal message that the germ cells interpret as
a pregnancy. The estrogen-based hormonal signal that mimics pregnancy
may be induced by physical trauma, or by other unknown reasons. As this
“false-placenta” begins growing, unchecked, it becomes the malignant
mass which the medical community calls cancer.
PANCREAS TO THE RESCUE
The pancreas produces the protein dissolving enzymes trypsin (and its
precursor chymotrypsin) that Beard believed prevents germ cells from
becoming malignant. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the
small intestine where they help digest “cooked” or denatured
proteins. Some of these enzymes enter the blood stream. In theory, when
the pancreas is healthy, early-stage cancers (false pregnancies) are
destroyed (digested) by pancreatic enzymes in the blood.
Cancer is best understood as pancreas failure to produce trypsin, in the
same way that Diabetes (Type I) is a failure of the pancreas to produce
insulin. Beard believed that when the health of the pancreas becomes
impaired and the output of pancreatic enzymes declines or stops, any
malignant cancer cell that begins dividing grows out of control.
In Beard's time it was believed that enzymes taken orally would not
enter the blood stream. Even today there is controversy as to whether or
not the large enzyme molecules can be absorbed, and whether the enzyme
molecule remains intact in the stomach. The reported success rates of
Beard's followers tells us that the trypsin enzymes may be taken by
mouth, but, very large amounts are required to make them effective
against growing cancers.
Note:
Cancer patients may not be breaking down oral trypsin. If the cancer
patients pancreas is mafunctioning, it is not producing the protein
digesting enzyme trypsin, then the body would not readily digest
proteins (e.g. enzymes) taken by mouth.
An interesting discovery is that trypsin’s digestive enzyme action
on protein is activated by the high pH (8.0 highly alkaline) environment
in the small intestine. Cancer of the small intestine is rare.
This may help explain the effectiveness of the increasingly popular cesium
treatment for cancer. The Cesium treatment raises the pH of the cancer
to 8.0 and this may be able to "amplify" the digestive effect
of any trypsin present in the blood stream.

MAX
WOLF
In the 1940s, researchers discovered that there was “something” in
the blood of people without cancer that was completely missing in the
blood of people who had cancer. This clue prompted Dr. Max Wolf to read
John Beard’s book THE ENZYME THERAPY FOR CANCER AND ITS SCIENTIFIC
BASIS.
Dr. Wolf along with his associate Helen Benitez and Dr. Karl Ransberger,
a young biomedical researcher from Germany, tested numerous enzymes from
animal and plant sources, and created an enzyme formula containing both
trypsin and chymotrypsin . Today, the Wolf/Benitez WoBenzyme®
systemic enzyme formula is reportedly the second hottest selling OTC
product in parts of Europe - behind ordinary aspirin.
WILLIAM KELLEY
In 1963, a dentist, William D. Kelley, was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer, which is almost always quickly fatal, and he rediscovered the
connection between pancreatic enzymes and cancer remission. He cured his
own cancer - and subsequently hundreds more. However, he was vilified by
the medical establishment and became embittered.
NICK GONZALEZ, M.D.
In the 1980s, a young medical student, Nick Gonzalez, was sent by the
Sloan-Kettering cancer center to debunk Kelley’s claim of a 100%
pancreatic-cancer cure rate. However, after revisiting Kelley’s
patient records, Gonzalez became a believer. Dr. Gonzalez recently won a
$6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue the
study of enzyme therapy for pancreatic cancer.
Dr. Gonzalez's excellent overview of the history of enzyme therapy may
be read HERE.
Also, Dr. Gonzalez's research using Enzyme Therapy with cancer patients
can be read HERE.
If cancers are truly false placentas, malignant tumors would mimic
pregnancy in other ways. All trophoblast cells produce a unique hormone
called the chorionic gonadotrophic (CGH) which is easily detected in
urine. Thus, if a person is either pregnant or has cancer, a simple CGH
pregnancy test should confirm either or both. It does so,with high
accuracy. Recent research has shown that all cancers tested (80% of
all known cancers) emit portions of this "pregnancy"
hormone. Click HERE
The University of Michigan Cancer Center has recently proclaimed that
current chemotherapy targets the “wrong” cells.
The
Ann Arbor researchers discovered that not all cells in a tumor are
equally malignant. Only a tiny minority of tumor cells are actually
capable of inducing new cancers; the rest are relatively harmless.
"These tumor-inducing cells have many of the properties of stem
cells," said Michael F. Clarke, MD, a professor of internal
medicine, who directed the study. "They make copies of themselves
--a process called self-renewal --and produce all the other kinds of
cells in the original tumor."
It is clear then that the nation’s top cancer center has unknowingly
rediscovered Beard’s thesis.

KELLEY
ENZYMES
Dr.
William Kelley recommends high amounts of pancreatic enzymes - 45,000 mg
orally. His formula includes a starch-dissolving enzyme which Kelley
believes is important in some cases. The enzyme formula that Kelley
stands behind costs, roughly, $2000 per month.
Unfortunately, the larger the cancer mass - which quickly dissolves from
oral enzyme therapy - the harder it is for the liver/kidney to rid the
body of the residue of it. As a result, many patients taking enzymes die
from toxemia as the cancer tumor is digested. Various methods for
detoxifying the liver are known, with the “coffee enema” being
preferred by Kelley and Gonzalez. Toxemia is the primary reason to have
the malignant tumor mass surgically removed.
TREATMENTS
If
the Beard theory is correct, malignant cancer only begins after the
pancreas fails to secrete sufficient trypsin and chymotrypsin to prevent
it from growing. A therapy that restores the health of the pancreas so
that it will again begin to secrete the trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes
would result in cancer remissions.
For example, if the heavy metals, e.g. mercury, are building up in the
pancreas causing the enzyme secretion problem, then taking natural chelating agents may rid the pancreas of toxic metals and help it to regain functioning. HMD™
has been extensively tested in double-blind, placebo controlled trials and has been shown to help in the elimination of metals from the body as well as help to build the
immune system - see www.detoxmetals.com.
