Episode 6: What Would Doc Do
they’re the body’s main defense against cancer and would be useful as
a cancer treatment.
And the brilliant man that he was, he did animal studies. We think of 110
years ago as a primitive time in science or scientists worked out of
caves with candles. Well actually, it was very sophisticated. By 1902
pathologists—and Sloan-Kettering already existed by that point—
brilliant pathologists in the US and Europe had already evaluated and
diagnosed and defined the hundred different types of cancer. They
knew what cancer was, they knew what it looked like. They knew it how
it behaved. They knew how to examine it, how to do a biopsy under the
microscope. So Beard took an animal model which they had at that time
for cancer and used his enzymes as a first study of the enzymes in
history and got a 100 percent regression of cancer in the animals that
he treated. Whereas the control group died very quickly.
Then physicians in—he was not a physician. He was an ScD. He had a
doctorate degree so he wasn’t able to treat patients directly. But
physicians working under him began using enzymes. The first case was
1905 a case of head and neck cancer. And the person who
administered it, Dr. Clarence Rice, had an office about five blocks from
this office where we’re sitting now right on Madison Avenue. So it’s kind
of a historic place to be in terms of enzymes. And the tumor completely
regressed.
And it was published in the conventional medical literature. I’ve collected
dozens of articles in the peer reviewed conventional literature from the
peer in 1905 to 1911 where physicians under Beard’s guidance treated
advanced cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer,
endometrial cancer, lung cancer successfully with the enzymes. He
wrote a book in 1911, The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer. We actually
had photographs of patients, sequential photographs of patients with
head and neck cancer where the tumor’s actually disappear and the
skin heals normally a 100 years ago, more than a 100 years ago. But
the work then as it is today was considered too controversial but there
was another footnote I often talk about in my lectures. At the same time
Beard was showing the enzymes reverse cancer Madam Curie, the
great French—well, she was Polish by birth but she was working at the
University of Paris—she was investigating radiation. And radiation x-
rays had been discovered in 1895. By 1900 they were used
diagnostically. It was miraculous. You do an x-ray and you can see the
inside of the chest and see the lungs. By 1905 Madam Curie was saying
that radiation would be a simple, easy, non-toxic way of treating all
cancer. And she had two noble prizes already—one of the few people
that Linus Pauling also had to—few people that ever won one, let alone
