The Executive Summary
Proteolytic Enzymes:1) selectively attack and kill cancer cells
(nagalese, CIC)2) clean up after themselves
3) prevent metastatic disease
4) offer systemic immune enhancement5) a compelling scientific /clinical pedigree
6) excellent risk/benefit ratio (including cost)

Clinical take Home Message
1) avoid eating junk and enzyme blockers(no such thing as “junk food”)
2) eat enzyme rich food
(raw and sprouted)
3) conserve endogenous enzymes
(eat infrequently and in moderation)
4) use digestive aids(OACV, bitters, anti-pasta, betain HCl and pepsin)
5) supplement with high quality enzymes
(young source and fresh quality)

The Nature of Cancer
1) Inevitable or not?
2) Perpetual or not?
3) Curable or not?4) Infectious or not?
5) What is the role of mind/body?
6) Aggressive or not?

Cancer is not the problem.
Cancer is an adaptive response
to the problem.
Toxic blood and tissue is the
problemEvery town has a garbage dump.
Solution: make less trash, recycle.
To avoid cancer: eat non-toxic foods and eat less!

First leg: we strive to take down the
“Cancer Welcome” sign by correctingthe environment (both external and
internal) which is “opening the door”
to cancer. This includes correcting andreinforcing the foundation of your
health and vitality:

Second leg: we strive to enhance the
immune system through identifying and
correcting imbalances on all four levels of human existence: 1) the material body (using
nutritional and biochemical interventions),
2) the etheric body (using lifestyle and habitmodifications), 3) the emotional body (using
practices for enhancing mastery of mood
“CorThot”) and 4) the spiritual body (using practices for enhancing one’s humanity and
relationship with the Divine).

Oxygen breathing may be a cheaper and safer alternative to
exogenous erythropoietin (EPO)
Recently discovered “normobaric oxygen paradox” demonstratesthat renal tissue can be stimulated to increase EPO production via a
simple pattern of oxygen breathing at normal atmospheric
pressures. This leads directly to the hypothesis that oxygen
breathing may provide chemotherapy patients with a convenient and
inexpensive alternative to ESAs. Stimulating endogenous EPO
production eliminates the small risk of immune system reaction
associated with ESAs. Further, the endogenous physiological EPO
doses provided by this method may be safer, in terms of cancer
mortality, than the exogenous pharmacological doses inherent inESA administration.

Meat Tenderizing Enzymes
The two most often used meat tenderizing
enzymes are Papain (papaya) and Bromelain
(pineapple).
Ficin, derived from fig tree latex is also used.
Other sources of enzymes are Pancreatin andTrypsin derived from the pancreas gland

Embryonic enzymes

Observation:
“The day the Trophoblast changes behavior was the day
that the embryonic pancreas became active and begins
producing pancreatic proteolytic enzymes.”
Hypothesis:“If pancreatic enzymes can control a trophoblast which is
a very invasive aggressive cancer-like organisism and
convert it into a tame and life sustaining organism, they
should do the same with cancer.”
Beard concluded that cancer was trophoblastic

Beard concluded that cancer was trophoblastic.
Trophoblast is the first differentiated cell to arise after
the zygote is formed by union of sperm and egg. This
cell goes on to form the placenta and is the source cellfor the entire placenta. None of the cells comprising
the placenta are incorporated into the human body, but
neatly surround the entire fetus like a ballon. Somehow
the body destroys this tissue resulting in the birth of theindividual. Beard believed that cancer was this
trophoblast manifesting in the wrong time and place.
Furthermore, he believed that normal trophoblast is
eventually destroyed by the mother and fetus through
their pancreatic secretions, that the totality of these
enzymes constitute the cause of birth.

Reasoning:
Young animals need strong enzymes to control
growth.Therefore, doctors can use pancreatic enzymesfrom young animals and use fresh enzymes to “control
cancer growth”.
Declaration:Pancreatic enzymes are the main defense against cancer.
Cancer does not occur in mature cells but in
trophoblastic nests.
The way to cure cancer is to give proteolytic enzymes.”

Treatment:
Fairchild Co. produced injectable enzymes.
Case study 170 patients - cured
Consequence:
Madame Curie PhD discovered radium andproposed as a treatment for cancer -stole the show.
A whole generation of doctors died of leukemia and
lymphoma
Beard’s work was forgotten - in his lifetime.

“Dr Beard did not allow himself to
become discouraged, since most of
the patients who came to him were
suffering from terminal cancer hewas prepared to do anything which
offered a ghost of a chance.”

An NCI-sponsored study of Gonzalez therapy,which is similar to the Gerson diet, showed that
patients with inoperable pancreatic
adenocarcinoma who underwent standard chemotherapy with gemcitabine (Gemzar)
survived three times longer and had better

nutritional supplements, detoxification, and an

“These enzymes are available only to our

Internet or in health food stores. In ourexperience, quality, manufacturing methods,
and composition vary widely among
commercially available preparations of pancreatic enzymes. The results of our
studies cannot be used as validation for any

"In summary, PPE (porcine pancreatic
enzyme) is the first experimentally and
clinically proven agent for the effective
treatment of PC (pancreatic cancer). The
significant advantages of PPE over any
other currently available therapeutic
modalities include its effects on physical
condition, nutrition and lack of toxicity."

The proteolytic enzymes include:
1) Pancreatin (reduces joint discomfort and swelling,
reduces chance of pancreatitis);2) Bromelain (enhances immune system, supports anti-
inflammation, enhances circulation and anti-coagulation,
inhibits excessive blood clotting, reducing joint
swelling);3) Trypsin (accelerates repair of injuries, boosts immune
activity and enhances circulation);
4) Papain (strong anti-inflammatory agent);
chymotrypsin (enhances circulation);
5) Rutin (a free-radical scavanger to serve as anti-

An Example of Cancer Stealth
Lysis of the normal cells was abolished
when either 75 mM galactosamine,glucosamine or 100 microM
beta-lactoglobulin was added to the
melittin-cell reaction, but lysis of theleukemia cells was unaffected.

glucose, galactose and the N-acetyl
derivatives were not inhibitory.

Exogenous Proteases Confer a Significant Chemopreventive
Effect in Experimental Tumor Models
Martin Wald, MD
Integrative Cancer Therapies, Vol. 7, No. 4, 295-310 (2008)
The chemopreventive effects of enterally administered proteases
(trypsin, chymotrypsin, and papain) have been documented in a
series of animal experimental tumor models. The experimentalevidence demonstrates a significant inhibition of growth of both the
primary tumor and the metastatic disseminations. Survival in animals
treated with proteases is significantly longer than in untreated
animals.Comparable results have been shown in solid tumors inanimal models (melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma) and in human
tumors (pancreatic and breast cancers).

Melittin stimulates Na entry, Na K

Melittin, an amphipatic polypeptide,increases several fold the activity of Na-K
pump in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells.
As with other growth factors, melittin
increases the activity of the pump by
increasing Na entry into the cell.

In contrast, other early responses are not
elicited by the toxin. At concentrations that
promote ion fluxes, melittin stimulatesDNA synthesis in quiescent mouse cells
acting synergistically with insulin,
epidermal growth factor and with thegrowth factor released by SV40 BHK
cells.The cellular effects of melittin are
consistent with the proposal that ion fluxessignal the initiation of mitogenesis in
quiescent cells.

inhibitors of calmodulin: phenothiazines

Calmodulin, a ubiquitous calcium-binding
protein, has recently been shown to play an
important role in cellular proliferation. The
calmodulin inhibitors melittin, trifluoperazine,
and chlorpromazine inhibited the growth and
clonogenicity of human and murine leukemiccells, and their potency reflected their activity as
inhibitors of calmodulin.

Melittin, which is a far more potent
inhibitor of calmodulin activity,was also a more potent inhibitor of
cell growth and clonogenicity. The
less active phenothiazine
metabolite, chlorpromazine
sulfoxide, had much less potentcytotoxic activity.
