Enzymes, Trophoblasts, and Cancer: The Afterlife of an Idea (1924-2008)Cancer Communications, Lemont, Pennsylvania, ralph{at}cancerdecisions.com In the early 20th century, advocacy of the enzyme therapy of cancer was primarily the work of one man, John Beard, DSc (1858-1924). He and his collaborators made a determined effort to establish this mode of therapy, especially in the years 1905 to 1911. Despite a brief flowering of international interest, Beard's efforts came to naught. During the 20th century, there was a succession of American researchers who continued to investigate this topic. This included Marshall William McDuffie, MD (1882-1945), Frank LeForest Morse, MD (1876-1953), Franklin Lloyd Shively, MD (1887-1971), and William Donald Kelley (1926-2005). In central Europe, India, and other parts of the globe, the use of pancreatic enzymes as an adjuvant treatment for cancer has become a fairly routine practice, at least among those doctors who utilize complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It is also a well-established method for reducing inflammation and mitigating the adverse effects of cytotoxic treatment.
