Dr. John Beard in the early 1900s found that pancreatic extracts inhibit cancer cell growth in advanced cancer patients. In the 1950s, it was found that various enzymes work better in combination (synergistically).  An enzyme is a naturally occurring substance in a human being that serves as a catalyst. As such, it helps initiate a chemical reaction needed due to environmental factors within the body’s cells.

Every person produces thousands of cancer cells but, under normal circumstances, our immune system eliminates them aggressively. Sometimes a fibrin coating covers the tumor cells, making them less identifiable. (They become disguised, like impostors). In the healthy body, enzymes strip away this fibrin coat, paving the way for the immune system to detect the real identity of these “impostor” cancer cells. Were the cancer cells to remain unchecked, the result could be the growth of a cancer mass somewhere in the body. 

Toxicity and aging lead to enzyme deficiency, making enzyme supplementation not only important, but also necessary.  People with increased risk of cancer may reduce that risk by doing enzyme therapy.  Recent research has shown that enzyme combinations from both plant and animal sources give the best results.  For those who are on radiation or chemotherapy, enzyme therapy can reduce side effects, lessen complications, boost a suppressed immune system and prolong survival.

Enzymes decrease the load on the pancreas, enabling the pancreas to concentrate on fighting cancer cells. At the same time enzymes help prevent toxins from building up in the intestines.  This helps to eliminate cancer-causing waste from the food we eat.  Thus, in conclusion, enzyme therapy has a prominent place in preventing and treating cancer.
