Pancreatic enzymes, autonomic physiology, and cancer
Linda L Isaacs
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, USA
M
ore than a century ago, the embryologist Dr. John Beard noted the similarity of cancer cells to the trophoblast, and speculated
that cancer originates from wayward trophoblast cells that had the same function as what we now call stem cells. He theorized
that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes regulate the growth andmaturation of trophoblast cells and could also act against cancer. Since Dr.
Beard’s time, some practitioners have used pancreatic enzymes against cancer with success. In her lecture, the author will review this
history, and describe case reports of patients successfully treated with this form of treatment. As part of a comprehensive nutritional
program, these patients also followed a diet and took nutritional supplementation believed to down regulate the sympathetic nervous
system, which the author will also discuss.
