-Caveat Lector-
Things were going really well until about 12 months when Susie began to get
sick. Kelley thought what he had initially thought when he got sick, that
she had the flu. He told her to just stay on the program and she would get
over it. She got progressively worse and what alarmed Dr. Kelley, and Susie
too, was that she again developed allergies after about a year free of
allergies. She began to react to any food that she took in. Even the raw
fruits and vegetables. Kelley did a lot of manipulations, he increased the
fruits, increased the vegetables, all the things that had worked before.
Susie got progressively worse and was almost comatose. Kelley was faced with
a problem. If she got any worse he'd have to take her to the hospital and
the papers would have a field day. Crazy, quack cancer doctor's wife ends up
in the hospital in a coma. He thought about this a lot and he didn't want
that to happen. He thought about all he had done and all he hadn't done and
the only thing he hadn't tried was raw meat. He rejected the idea at first -
meat was toxic. Two days later, he knew that his wife was dying. He said
that since the only thing he hadn't given her was meat, he was going to try
meat. He talked it over with her. She was delirious but she did hear meat
and she said "NO, meat is not apart of the Kelley diet, you're trying to kill
me, Donald". Kelley told her that she had to eat it whether she liked it or
not. He went to the market and bought the biggest prime rib he could find,
ground it up and asked Susie to eat it raw.
If it was cooked it would destroy the enzymes and she needed the enzymes.
Within two hours, she was sitting up in bed, Kelley fed her raw meat for the
next 24 hours and she got stronger and stronger. Within three days she was
complete well. Today Susie Kelley looks 20 years younger than she is, still
eats raw red meat three times a day and is in perfect physical health. It was
exhilarating and humiliating for Kelley to realize that his own wife was a
meat eater because it went against everything that he believed in. Kelley
couldn't believe that he was the first person who found out that there was a
subcategory of human being that not only did well on meats but had to have it
or they would get sick. Back at the library, Kelley read about the wonderful
work of Stefenson.
Stefenson was an American anthropologist who was trained at the Harvard.
He got bored hanging around Cambridge trying to figure out what to do with
his life, so he packed up and moved to one of the most remote regions of the
Arctic Circle to study Eskimos. Up until that point, no white man had lived
with the Eskimos. Stefenson not only lived among them but took an Eskimo
wife. He studied their way of life, their hunting techniques and
particularly their diet. The Eskimo diet stunned Stefenson. It shouldn't
have when you think about the Eskimo way of life. The Eskimo diet is nothing
but meat. Up in the Arctic Circle there is not much of a summer, only two
months. There's no fruits, no vegetables, there's no soil only tundra. All
there is fatty red meat - seal, polar bear, whale, fish.
Stefenson thought about this and he knew enough about biology to know that
humans weren't suppose to be able to live on meat. Even back then it was
thought that red meat was one of the great evils of man. Stefenson looked at
this very carefully. The Eskimos had no cancer, no diabetes, heart disease,
they didn't even have a word for depression because they didn't know what it
was. They seemed to be very happy people, they lived a very rigorous climate
and they were very strong. Stefenson discussed this diet with his biochemist
friend at Harvard and it was realized that their diet as 80% saturated fat.
There are executives at the American Heart Association that would drop dead
of a heart attack if you suggested a diet of 80% saturated fat. The American
diet is about 40%, the AHA recommends about 20 to 30% and here is this
society of people thriving on 80% saturated fat.
Stefenson spent 10 years at the Arctic Circle and when he came back to the
U.S. he wrote a series of 10 books documenting his time with the Eskimos.
Several of those books dealt with the Eskimo diet. When those books were
published a controversy erupted. It was thought to be impossible for someone
to live on meat. Meat was unhealthy and caused all kinds of toxic
conditions. Stefenson was called a fraud. Logically you have to think, what
would they live on, but people didn't realize the conditions of the Arctic.
This controversy raged for five years, there were articles on the front page
of the New York Times. Stefenson was a romantic figure at that time. Here
was this man who disappeared for 10 years in the Arctic Circle and married an
Eskimo.
Finally, Stefenson dared the New York City Medical Society to lock him up in
a ward at Bellevue for a year and feed him nothing but red meat. Professor
Tolstoy of Cornell University said let's do it. So Stefenson and a colleague
lived in Bellevue for a year and lived on nothing
but a diet of 80% saturated fat. At the end of the year, Stefenson's
cholesterol level had dropped 70 points, he was in excellent health, his
triglycerides were practically non-existent and no one could figure out what
had happened. When Kelley read Stefenson's work, he thought, "my wife's not
an Eskimo why would she need red meat". Upon researching at the library he
realized that about 20,000 years ago there was an ice age that came all the
way down to New York City. There were a lot of Northern Europeans who were
living in Arctic Circle conditions around that time. If you're from Northern
Europe, your ancestors had nothing to eat but large fatty animals because the
Arctic Circle had moved down several thousand miles. Kelley knew that Susie
was of Northern European descent and her ancestors survived because they
could live on 80% saturated fat. You have to think about
geological history when you make dietary selections. Kelley had his two
diets now. The vegetarian diet and the carnivore and a third category of
people who fell in between these two.
This third category does well with some of both categories. Fruits,
vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds and some meats. Eventually he had 10
subtypes, 90 variations of the subtypes, etc. but he had basically three
separate types of people. The vegetarians who do very well with raw fruits,
vegetables but terrible on meats, the carnivores who do extremely well with
fatty meat and root vegetables but terrible with salad vegetables, and the
balanced metabolizers who are somewhere in between.
Kelley noticed while treating these different types of people that each type
was susceptible to specific types of cancer. He was seeing thousands of
patients with all types of cancer. He noticed that the vegetarians types
tended to get the hard tumors. The carnivores tended to get the blood tumors
(leukemia, lymphoma and melanoma - while not a blood cancer seemed to be
found mostly in carnivore types). Balanced people were in between seeming to
be susceptible to both types of cancer. Kelley thought that this was a
particularly important observation - that certain types of people who do well
on certain types of diets get certain types of cancer and not other types.
He wondered if there was something physiological that could explain this and
if he could figure it out he might understand something fundamental
about cancer. He went through the thousands of records he had on his
patients. It was there he discovered that there were certain qualities that
were universally distinctive. The vegetarian patients tended to have a fast
pulse, they tended to need little sleep, they tended to be very irritable
emotionally, they tended to do very well in the mornings and less well at
night, they tended to have very lean faces. The carnivores were just the
opposite, they tended to be more lethargic, they needed 8 to 10 hours of
sleep a night, they did terrible in the mornings and didn't start waking up
until 1 or 2 in the afternoon, they tended to have a low pulse and good
digestion. Balanced people were in between, a normal pulse, they tended to
need 6 to 8 hours of sleep and did well at any time of day. Kelley thought
that if he could find a something biological that would explain this, he
would be able to understand cancer a bit better. Back at the library, Kelley
found the work of Melvin Page.
Page was an eccentric dentist who worked out of St. Petersburg, Florida.
Page, like Kelley, had discovered that different types of people needed
different diets. His explanation was an autonomic physiology. The nervous
system can be divided up on two basic ways. The easiest way to divide it is
the conscience nervous system and the unconscience nervous system. The
conscience nervous system is what you need when you drive a car, doing a
crossword puzzle or do a math problem. The unconscience nervous system is
the system that controls physiological processes in which we don't have to
think: heart rate, secretion of enzymes, secretion of hormones, digestion.
The unconscience nervous system is known as the autonomic nervous system.
It's kind of automatic and this is divided into two parts: the sympathetic
and the parasympathetic. The sympathetic and the parasympathetic tend to
work in opposition. The sympathetic nervous system tends to speed up heart
rate and the parasympathetic nervous system tends to slow down heart rate.
The sympathetic nervous system tends to block secretion of pancreatic
enzymes and the parasympathetic nervous system tends to increase them.
These two systems tend to work in opposition every second of our lives to
keep our physiology exactly where it should be to do the process that is
necessary for that moment. Melvin Page suggested that there were certain
people whose sympathetic nervous system was overly developed and overly
active. In those people the parasympathetic nervous system was
correspondingly weak. In order people the parasympathetic nervous system was
strong and the sympathetic nervous system was correspondingly weak. In the
third group the two systems were equally balanced. Kelley immediately
recognized that there were his vegetarians, carnivores and balanced groups.
Vegetarians had a very strong sympathetic nervous system and a weak
parasympathetic nervous system, carnivores had a strong parasympathetic
nervous system and a weak sympathetic nervous system. Kelley realized the
balance of these systems were related to three important minerals. Calcium,
potassium, and magnesium. The vegetarian diet that his sympathetic system
patients are on were loaded with potassium and magnesium. These are very
alkalizing nutrients. We now know through orthodox neurophysiology that
potassium tends to stimulate the parasympathetic nerves and magnesium tends
to block sympathetic functions. So, if you're dealing with a vegetarian who
has a very strong sympathetic system but a weak parasympathetic system, a
vegetarian diet will tend to tone down the strong system and build up the
weak system and bring them into balance. Meat is a very acid forming, it's
loaded with phosphates and sulfates. In the body, phosphates turn into
phosphoric acid and sulfates into sulfuric acid. There is an enormous load
of free acid in every pieces of meat we eat. This has been measured and it's
an extraordinary load on the body. The quickest way to acidify the
bloodstream is to eat red meat. We now know from studies done in emergency
rooms that sympathetic and parasympathetic functions is very keenly tied into
pH. The acid base balance. The traditional medicine for a patient who walks
in with a heart attack is to fill them up with calcium and bicarbonate.
Heart attack patients go into acidosis, we thought to fill them up with
bicarbonate to block the acidosis. The only problem is that
the patients we saw die from a heart attacks were dying because we were
using too much bicarbonate. When you use too much bicarbonate you're
turning off the sympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous
system is the stress nervous system. The one system you want functioning
during the stress of a heart attack is the sympathetic nervous system. When
you block it's function, patients can go into fatal arrhythmias and die
within seconds. It took thousands of patients to die from too much
bicarbonate to realize that it isn't an idea therapy. You want the pH
slightly acid, if you get too alkaline the parasympathetic turns off and you
lose your patient.
Carnivores have a strong parasympathetic system and a weak sympathetic
system and if you give them red meat you turn the body acid, you stimulate
sympathetic nervous system and tone down the parasympathetic nervous system
in order to balance. Kelley began to realize after documenting and studying
thousands of patients that when he got that autonomic nervous system into
balance with his diet the tumors would go away. It was that simply. When
you tone down sympathetic system and build up the parasympathetic system in a
hard tumor patient sometimes the tumor would go away in days. Similarly a
patient with leukemia or lymphoma put on a red meat diet will acidify the
blood stream, stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and tone down the
parasympathetic nervous system and the tumors would go away. He saw this in
his own practice. Very often he'd treat patient for months and months and
get no progress at all and then one day the tumors would start shrinking like
it was melting away like an ice cube on a hot day. Calcium is probably the
key element in all this. Calcium has a lot of applications to anybody
practicing any kind of oncology. Calcium has a lot of functions.
We know it is the main cement for the bones, but it also is very
metabolically active. It almost acts like a hormone in the body. It's
what's called the second messenger in the cells, it's the one way
neurotransmitters translate their information into the nucleus. Calcium
functions as a carrier of information, as a stimulator of information systems
in the cell. Calcium is also fundamentally the main cement of cellular
membranes. When the sympathetic nervous system is very strong and active and
producing lots of adrenaline which is one of it's main hormones, some
membranes tend to get very tight. If you give adrenaline to somebody their
muscles tend to get very tense, their jaw will tense up. Cell membranes
tighten in every tissue in the body. What happens is that with sympathetic
discharge calcium goes into the cell membranes and tightens them.
With an alkaline environment, when the sympathetic nervous system is turned
off membranes get very weak and calcium leaches out and membranes leak out
all kinds of junk. Kelley tried to relate this to cancer, and he began to
realized that with hard tumor patients the sympathetic nervous system was too
strong and the cell membrane was too tight. The membranes of the tumor were
too tight and the patient's own immune system and the patient's pancreatic
enzymes couldn't get to the tumor. On Kelley's diet, the patient would turn
a little more alkaline, the sympathetic system would weaken, calcium would
leach out in the membrane, the membranes would get leaky and then the enzymes
could get to the tumor very easily and the patient's own immune system could
get to the tumor easily.
Chemo-therapeutic drugs could get to the tumor easily. One of the most
interesting things in oncology is that you can get two patients with the same
type of tumor in the same location and one will respond to treatment
beautifully while the other won't respond at all. It's pH atomic balance - -
if you believe Kelley's hypothesis. One patient will have a strong
sympathetic system and you give the chemotherapeutic agent to them and the
cell membranes are so tight that the agents can't get in. Enzymes won't get
into the tumors, chemo won't get into the tumors, the immune system products
won't get into the tumors. Those patients die and the tumors grow. The
parasympathetic tumors, the tumors of the blood, deal with the opposite
situation. These patient tend to be too alkaline and the cell membranes tend
to be too leaky. When cell membranes are too leaky, this tend to stimulate
cell reproduction. The problem with these tumors is that they
reproduce so quickly that with whatever therapeutic agent you are using, you
are running a race - whether you can break them down faster than they are
reproducing. When you use a red meat diet, it stimulates sympathetic
function, tones down parasympathetic function, you get the body acidic, the
cell membranes tighten and reproduction slows. The patients with leukemia
have very aggressive tumors. The white blood cells can go from 10,000 to
1,000,000 in a matter of weeks. The reason for this is weakened cell
membranes. You slow down the rate of tumor growth by tightening the cell
membranes and you give these patients time to get the therapeutic agents time
to work. When you treat a cancer patient you have to think about autonomic
physiology - whether you are using nutrition or chemotherapy.
Gonzalez spent 5 years going through 10,000 of Kelley's records. He found
that patients who followed the program closely and utilizing it properly -
about 70% of them were getting well. It didn't matter what type of cancer or
how far advanced they were. Since this was just a research of Kelley's
records and not a "controlled" study it is not accepted by the orthodox
medical community. Kelley decided to track down all Kelley's patients with
pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer being the most aggressive and the
hardest to treat. In Kelley's records from 1974 to 1982 Gonzalez found 23.
He did extensive interviews with the patient's family and the traditional
doctors that they used. He found that out of these 23, 10 went to Kelley
once, thought he was a quack and never came back and the median survival time
was 60 days after seeing Kelley which is normal for this type of cancer. The
second group had 7 patients. This group consisted of those who went on the
program partially, most gave it up due to pressure from traditional doctors.
Even though they only partially completed the program they had significantly
improved survival rates of 300 days on average. The third group of 6 patients
that completed the program had a median survival of 8 1/2 years and most are
alive today. One died of Alzheimer's and Gonzalez feels that if you have
your pancreatic cancer patient's dying of old age and Alzheimer's you have
succeeded as a physician. So, the median
survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients who completed Kelley's program
had a median survival rate of 8 1/2 years and going.
The above text is from a lecture by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez in 1990. Dr.
Gonzalez treats cancer patients with a modified version of Dr. William
Donald Kelley's program. The text is not word for word. I omitted
anecdotal sections but kept all research and pertinent information. Dr.
Gonzalez has an office in New York City. His program runs about $5,000 to
$7,000 a year and can be followed on an outpatient basis after the initial
testing is done in his office. I found Dr. Gonzalez's lecture fascinating
and hope that those of you with cancer will call Dr. Gonzalez for more
information on his program.
