John Beard, a Scottish biologist in the early 1900s theorized a Trophoblast Cell theory of cancer based on his observations. As per his observations, several stem cell like cells are left over in our bodies as a repair and rebuild mechanism. These get into action as an initial patch up material when the body is under attack of any sorts such as environmental pollutants, pathogens or improper life style factors. There are two pancreatic enzymes called Trypsin and it’s precursor Chymotrypsin which if present in sufficient quantities, can help digest these trophoblast cells and the body’s other repair mechanisms will deal with the rest of the repairs needed. When the pancreas loses it’s ability to produce Trypsin and Chymotrypsin in sufficient quantities, the trophoblast cells go unchecked and form cancerous tumors. John Beard carried several experiments with pancreatic juices of animals and confirmed his findings but these experiments could not be repeated successfully by others due to sensitive nature of these enzymes and not following the same procedures as he did.

Let us leave the controversy to let it take it’s own course, but one can always benefit enormously by strengthening the functioning of the pancreas as it is often an overlooked, overburdened and excessively misused organ of the body. It is involved in enzymes production and insulin production which play very important roles in our health. First one can take the stress off on the pancreas a bit by going easy on the sugars, refined carbohydrates and eating a balanced diet rich with nutrients. Second one can help the pancreas by consuming enzyme rich food such as sprouts so that it can use those precious enzymes in addressing important issues such as digesting trophoblast cells there by arresting cancer before it becomes an out of control issue. A good quality systemic enzyme supplement such as Wobenzyme and other digestive enzyme supplements may be considered to give the pancreas a bit of help. Pancreas has high concentrations of Coenzyme Q10. A good quality Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin C along with heavy metal chelators such as IP6 will go a long way in renewing and jump starting the health and well being of the pancreas so that it can take care of body’s vital needs.
