The Kelley Pancreatic Enzyme Protocol

One afternoon as I was researching alternative cancer treatments, I stumbled across a book on Amazon entitled 90 Days to Live by Rodney and Paige Stamps. It detailed the story of Rodney’s diagnosis of Stage III-B Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and the treatment path he took to beat it. Just reading the short excerpt from the book that Amazon provided, I was completely enthralled with their story! Rodney felt from the very beginning that chemotherapy was not the way for him to go. After much research by Rodney and Paige, a friend told them about the Kelley Pancreatic Enzyme Protocol, in which large amounts of pancreatic enzymes are ingested to dissolve the outer coating of the cancer cell to enable the immune system to attack it and destroy it. I was intrigued and ordered their book. I think I read the entire book in one sitting because it is that gripping and hard to put down! The Kelley Protocol made complete sense to me. What I liked about it was that it did not claim to “manage” the cancer; it’s intended outcome is to completely eradicate the cancer once and for all. To say that the protocol is rigorous and daunting is an extreme understatement, but at this point what choice did I have? Rodney attributed much of his success with the protocol to his work with a nutritionist by the name of Pamela McDougle. Ms. McDougle is the last living student of Dr. Kelley (the man who developed this protocol after curing his own Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer with it) and worked with him extensively for a number of years to learn the intricacies of this protocol. I contacted Ms. McDougle by phone and reached her voicemail. I left a message explaining my situation and asked if she would be willing to work with me, not sure if I would hear back from her or not. I received a call from her later that evening and she was very gracious. She referred me to one of her students, an experienced naturopath in Florida, so has extensive experience with the Kelley Protocol. I’m not sure why she referred me to someone else and chose not to work with me directly. Could it have been that she felt my case was too advanced for her to help? I’ll never know the answer to that, but I did find out a few weeks later that she has a waiting list of 6 months!!
