Download your free copy of Dr Kelley‘s groundbreaking book “One Answer to Cancer” on this page. The book is the legacy of the work Dr Kelley did over a twenty-five-year period. as he developed a complex approach to treating many chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer. The three main elements of his metabolic program are nutrition, detoxification, and supplements of pancreatic enzymes.
William Kelley held that a root cause of cancer is the body’s inability to metabolize (digest and utilize) protein. “The person gets cancer because he’s not properly metabolizing the protein in his diet,” said Dr Kelley.
“Then, to make matters worse, the tumour has such a high metabolism that it uses up much of the food which is eaten.” If a person’s disordered protein metabolism is not corrected, Kelley continued, “it will give rise to more tumours in the future, even if the first one is successfully removed. This, by the way, is the unfortunate reason why so many seemingly successful cancer operations end up recurring a year or two later. The tumour was removed, but the cause-improper protein metabolism-remained.”
Dr Kelley linked faulty metabolism to a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, which he regarded as a fundamental cause of cancer. He believed that certain pancreatic enzymes, especially those that are proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes, are the body’s first line of defence against malignancy. This theory stands in marked contrast to conventional medicine, which holds that the immune system, with its natural killer cells, protects people against cancer.
Creating health was the life’s work of Dr William Donald Kelley. With degrees obtained from Baylor University, the University of Alabama and the University of West Virginia in dentistry, orthodontics, chemistry, physiology, biology, education and a strong background in nutrition, he was uniquely qualified to design his holistic healing programs.
His programs were successful with his patients, most of whom suffered from degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, allergies and arthritis. Dr Kelley was a metabolic researcher and the creator of four of holistic medicine’s most advanced concepts:
Dr Kelley first applied his metabolic programs – complete systems aimed at improving the function of the total body, stimulating the immune response and preventing further health breakdowns – to his own family. He helped his children overcome serious allergy and asthma problems and solved his own health problem, metastasized pancreatic cancer, which is generally considered incurable.
Upon being told that he couldn’t recover with conventional therapies, he intensified his study of metabolic medicine, attempting to find a way his own body could eliminate the disease. Ridding himself of his disease was only the first of many “impossible” jobs that Dr Kelley achieved in his lifetime.
Dr Kelley was a man of no small ambition, he was quoted as saying:
To accomplish this, he worked on a consulting basis with several research organizations and a rapidly growing nationwide network of doctors who use his methods.
He was also a consultant to a 160-acre farm and a food processing plant in the Cascade Mountains, where they were trying to find ways of growing and preserving food that will make it “the strong medicine God intended it to be.”
