In 1902, Dr. John Beard, a professor at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the enzymes we produce in our pancreas could be useful in fighting cancer. He was an expert on embryos, and he noticed that the placenta behaves very much like a cancer tumor. The placenta is the organ that forms soon after conception, attaches itself to the wall of the mother’s uterus and, through the umbilical cord, provides nutrients and oxygen to the developing baby. The main difference between the placenta and a tumor is that something turns off the placenta’s cancer-like invasion of the mother.
In every species he studied, Beard noticed that the placenta’s uncontrolled growth stops at the same time the baby’s pancreas becomes active and starts secreting enzymes. He reasoned that
the same enzymes might stop the growth of cancer cells. Beard tested his idea on mice with sarcoma, a type of cancer, and was able to confirm it: tumors shrank when he injected the mice with an enzyme-rich pancreatic extract. Under Beard’s direction, a number of doctors began treating human cancer patients with injections of pancreatic enzymes. They found the
pancreatic extract inhibited the growth of cancer cells and that patients survived longer.
They published their findings in some of the leading medical journals of the day, including the
British Medical Journal and the Journal of the American Medical Association.
