Within a month, he noticed improved energy and well being, 
and within a year, he says he felt better than he had for a decade. Mr. Moreland followed the full regimen for three years, and today, nine years since 
his diagnosis, he remains in excellent health. He also has two healthy children, 
currently, aged four and six; this is unusual, since MOPP chemotherapy causes 
sterility in a majority of male patients. Despite his abbreviated courses of both 
chemotherapy and radiation, I  believe Mr. Moreland is a relatively simple case to 
evaluate. Although there are, in the medical literature, several documented instances of
129
Winning The Cancer War
patients with advanced Hodgkin's enjoying prolonged survival after incomplete 
treatment with MOPP, such cases are extremely rare. While he did undergo 
radiotherapy, all of it was directed to his chest and upper abdomen. His extensive 
lower abdominal and pelvic tumors were never irradiated. In summary, Mr. Moreland suffered Stage IIIB Hodgkin's disease, treated with 
partial courses of chemotherapy and radiation. When first seen by Dr. Kelley, he was 
clinically debilitated and not, according to his doctors, in remission; it seems 
reasonable to attribute this patient's prolonged survival and current good health to his 
nutritional protocol. Scott Stirling
Mr. Stirling is a 53-year-old Canadian, alive 27 years since developing Hodgkin's 
disease. In January of 1  971, Mr. Stirling noticed a swelling on the left side of his neck. He consulted his local physician who believed the lesion to be a benign cyst, and no 
additional evaluation was recommended. Over the following year, the swelling fluctuated in size. Finally, when his neck 
enlarged dramatically in June of 1972, Mr. Stirling returned to his doctor, and was 
admitted to Reddy Memorial Hospital in Toronto. Mr. Stirling subsequently went to 
surgery for removal of the presumed cyst. However, the mass proved to be a matted 
collection of cancerous lymph nodes, fifteen of which were found positive for 
nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. Mr. Stirling was transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital for further study and 
treatment. Serial X-rays of the mediastinum (mid-chest) showed no evidence of 
metastatic disease, but additional X-rays confirmed extension of cancer throughout 
the pelvis, described in the radiology report as ". . . filling defects and dilated 
intranodal and peripheral sinusoids in the paraortic nodes on the left. These changes 
are typical of early involvement by Hodgkin's disease." A bone scan demonstrated abnormalities in the pelvic region consistent with 
metastases, summarized as: "Increased deposition of activity in the left side of the 
pelvis and the left sacroiliac joint. Appearance suggests the possibility of an 
abnormality of this site." A liver-spleen scan revealed an enlarged spleen, and a liver infiltrated with tumor. The records describe: "Appearances on the anterior and right lateral scans are 
strongly suggestive of the presence of a space occupying lesion located in the anterior 
right lobe (of the liver) — There is also poor concentration of activity within the left 
lobe, suggesting the presence of an extensive infiltrating lesion. The spleen is
130

moderately enlarged." The standard six-month, six-cycle MOPP chemotherapy protocol was 
recommended. After agreeing to the treatment plan, Mr. Stirling received his first 
round of MOPP as an inpatient on June 30, 1972. He tolerated the chemotherapy 
without significant side effects, and was discharged from the hospital in early July. But 
after the second course of drugs, Mr. Stirling developed severe weakness, fatigue and 
anorexia. He did eventually recover, and returned to the hospital for a third round of 
MOPP in late August. While being treated, Mr. Stirling again became very ill, and 
insisted the chemotherapy be stopped. At the time of discharge several days later, he 
was told he most probably would not live a year. Mr. Stirling then began a long automobile trip through the United States. In 
September of 1972, while staying with friends in Arizona, he quite by chance learned 
of Dr. Kelley's work. Several days later, he was on the road again, heading for Dallas 
and an appointment with Dr. Kelley. Within a week, Mr. Stirling had begun the full 
Kelley regimen. Shortly after, the lymph nodes in his neck and auxiliary regions suddenly enlarged, 
within a period of months, the swelling regressed, and today, 27 years after his 
diagnosis, he still follows the Kelley Program, remains cancer-free and is in excellent 
health. Although a single course of MOPP can cause sterility, Mr. Stirling now has 
two children of his own and a third by marriage. In summary, Mr. Stirling suffered widely metastatic, stage IV Hodgkin's disease. After an abbreviated course of MOPP, the disease recurred explosively. However, Mr. 
Stirling's cancer went into remission, apparently for good, as he pursued only the 
Kelley Program. Update December 1998; Scott and family are doing fine, cancer free, 
healthy and happy in San Diego. Lung Cancer Testimonial
Philip Bonfiglio
Mr. Philip Bonfiglio is a 52 year-old man from Ohio, who has survived 13 years 
since his diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. In early 1974, Mr. Bonfiglio, a heavy smoker, developed a persistent upper 
respiratory infection and cough. He consulted his family doctor, who prescribed a 
course of antibiotic therapy. Despite the treatment, the symptoms only worsened, and 
in March Mr. Bonfiglio returned to his physician. At that time a chest X-ray revealed a 
3-centimeter (cm) mass in the upper lobe of the right lung. 131
Winning The Cancer War
Mr. Bonfiglio was admitted to Akron City hospital on April 7, 1974, and the 
following day went for exploratory chest surgery. He was found to have a large 
inoperable tumor in the right lung that had metastasized to many lymph nodes. These 
findings are clearly described in the operative note: "A tumor approximately 4 cm in 
greatest diameter was found in the periphery of the posterior segment of the right 
upper lobe (of the lung). In the area below the azygos vein were multiple nodes, 
which extended posteriorly up along the vena cave and acquired a maximum 
diameter of about 3.5-cm. Because of the massive involvement of the mediastinum, 
curative resection was not feasible." Evaluation of a biopsy specimen confirmed: "Poorly differentiated carcinoma 
consistent with squamous cell type." In addition, all lymph nodes removed at surgery 
were positive for metastatic disease. Mr. Bonfiglio's doctors recommended a course of cobalt radiation treatment, which 
he began while still hospitalized. Nevertheless, he was told that even with such 
treatment, his chances of surviving one year were dim. In the discharge summary, the 
attending physician wrote: "The patient, due to the metastatic nature of this 
carcinoma, does have a poor prognosis." Mr. Bonfiglio completed the suggested regimen of 5,000 rads to the lungs as an 
outpatient. When the tumors continued to grow despite the radiation, a course of 
intensive chemotherapy was proposed. But since his disease was believed incurable, 
Mr. Bonfiglio refused all further orthodox treatment. Instead, Mr. Bonfiglio decided to 
investigate unconventional cancer therapies. He soon learned of Dr. Kelley, 
consulted with him and began the Kelley Program in late spring. Over a several month period, his persistent respiratory symptoms resolved, and 
within a year, Mr. Bonfiglio says he felt better than he had for a decade. Today, 13 
years after his diagnosis, Mr. Bonfiglio still follows his nutritional protocol and is in 
excellent health with no sign of his once metastatic disease. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is one of the most deadly of cancers. The five 
year survival rate for patients with stage III disease, regardless of treatment, is less 
than 5%. (1) Stanley reports a median survival of only 24-27 weeks in 32 symptomatic 
patients, such as Mr. Bonfiglio, with unresectable tumors. (2)
In summary, Mr. Bonfiglio suffered inoperable, mestastatic lung cancer, which did 
not respond to a course of cobalt therapy. It therefore seems appropriate to attribute 
this patient's long-term survival to the Kelley program. References:

Robert Beesley
Mr. Robert Beesley is a 67 year-old man from Iowa who has survived nearly 12 
years since his diagnosis of metastatic colon cancer. In mid-1975, Mr. Beesley first became fatigued, and developed severe constipation 
alternating with episodes of watery diarrhea. Some months later, after noticing bright 
red blood in his stool, he consulted his family physician who referred him for tests at 
a local clinic. At that time, a barium enema revealed a large, 5.7-cm. mass in the right colon, 
which was believed to be consistent with cancer. On July 7, 1975, Mr. Beesley was admitted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center for 
further evaluation. A liver-spleen scan was Positive for a "suspicious defect of the left 
lobe of the liver." It measured approximately 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Other studies, however, including chest X-rays, showed no sign of metastatic 
disease. The following day Mr. Beesley went to surgery for removal of the right half of 
his large intestine. In addition to the colon tumor, he was found to have unresectable metastases in 
both lobes of the liver, described in the operative note as "two lesions in the liver, 
one in the right and one in the left lobe of the liver." The right one was larger than the 
left, measuring about 2 by 2 cms. Review of the specimen confirmed a fulminant grade III Adenocarcinoma 
extending into the adjacent tissues, as described in the formal pathology report:
"The rectal pouch is filled with bulky ulcerated neoplasm, which is almost 
completely circumferential measuring 10 by 6 by 2 cm. Tumor infiltrates directly into 
the contiguous mesentery (the tissues adjacent to the large intestine)" — Mr. Beesley 
was told he might live three to six months, at most. 133
Winning The Cancer War
The attending physicians, believing him beyond cure, recommended neither 
chemotherapy nor radiation. After leaving the hospital on July 21, 1975, Mr. Beesley decided to investigate 
unorthodox approaches to cancer. Later that summer, he learned of Dr. Kelley, 
consulted with him and began the Kelley program. Mr. Beesley continued the full 
Kelley regimen for seven years before tapering down to a maintenance program, 
which he still follows. Today, despite the initial terminal prognosis, he is in excellent 
health and cancer-free. Although he has not been formally evaluated since his 
original surgery 12 years ago, Mr. Beesley believes his continued survival is proof 
enough of his cure. Colon cancer, when metastatic to the liver, is invariably rapidly 
fatal. Pestana and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic report a mean survival of only 9.0 
months in 353 patients presented with liver involvement. (1) In similar studies, 
Bengmark describes an average survival of only 7.8 months(2), and Morris a median 
survival of 11.4 months. (3)
Obviously, Mr. Beesley's progress represents a most unusual outcome for this 
disease. As a footnote to this case, the author was surprised to learn that supporters of 
Lawrence Burton, an unconventional therapist with a clinic in the Bahamas, had been 
advertising Mr. Beesley as a "Burton Success." When I  mentioned these reports to Mr. 
Beesley, he explained that he received several weeks of Burton Therapy in the fall of 
1975 — after he had already improved significantly on the Kelley program. Furthermore, Mr. Beesley claims he never finished the prescribed Burton protocol, 
and never received any further treatment from Burton. Mr. Beesley himself attributes 
his recovery to his many years on the Kelley regimen and not to Burton. Unfortunately, I  have found over the years that many unorthodox therapists 
repeatedly claim Dr. Kelley's long-term patients as their own; misrepresentation 
obviously does not help cancer patients. References:

Sonia Nemethy
Mrs. Sonia Nemethy is a 53-year old woman alive more than 17 years since 
diagnosed with breast carcinoma. She first noticed a painless mass in her right breast 
in 1970. After biopsy studies confirmed infiltrating carcinoma, she went to surgery for 
a right radical mastectomy at St. Anthony's hospital in Florida. Mrs. Nemethy was believed cured, and received no further treatment at that time. In 1973, after a second tumor developed in the left breast, Mrs. Namethy returned to 
St. Anthony's and underwent a left radical mastectomy for what proved to be 
infiltrating carcinoma. Mrs. Nemethy was again assumed to be cured, but over the 
following year, her health gradually deteriorated. She suffered fatigue, lethargy and 
bouts of depression persisting for months at a time. In mid-1974, Mrs. Nemethy also developed pain along the length of the vertebral 
column and into the right shoulder. By late 1  974, the pain was so severe at times she 
was unable to dress or walk. Although Mrs. Nemethy consulted her physicians 
repeatedly, an evaluation was not pursued. Finally, in May of 1975, at Mrs. 
Nemethy's insistence, her doctor arranged for a series of spinal X-rays. These studies 
revealed an obvious abnormality in the fifth lumbar segment, described as "indicative 
of osteolytic metastasis disease." On May 28, 1975, Mrs. Nemethy returned to surgery for a bilateral oophorectomy 
(removal of both ovaries), a procedure doctors hoped would slow the growth of the 
tumor and ease her bone pain. Despite the surgery, Mrs. Nemethy was told she 
probably would not live out the year. In desperation, after leaving the hospital on May 31, Mrs. Nemethy decided to 
investigate alternative cancer therapies. She quickly learned of Dr. Kelley, consulted 
with him and began the Kelley Program in the summer of 1975. Within six months, the persistent pain and depression completely resolved. Furthermore, a bone scan performed at the end 1975 showed some improvement, 
and a third bone scan from mid-1976, was completely normal. Today, 12 years after her last episode with cancer, Mrs. Nemethy still follows the
135
Winning The Cancer War
Kelley program and is in excellent condition. As discussed previously, the five-year survival rate (at that time) for patients with 
metastatic breast cancer approaches 0% regardless of therapy. And ophorectomy, 
which may lead to symptomatic improvement in this group, is not curative. As 
Hellman writes, "In patients whose tumors are estrogen dependent the procedure can 
be expected to induce a regression lasting 9 months to 12 months. In unselected 
series (of patients) almost 30% to 40% of patients w ill respond. Prophylactic 
castration (ovary removal) following mastectomy does not decrease the potential 
relapse rate or prolong the survival of those who relapse. "(1)
In summary, this patient developed evidence of metastases after successive 
mastectomies for recurring breast carcinoma. Although she did undergo 
oophorectomy, Mrs. Nemethy continued to deteriorate after the procedure. Her 
extensive disease and many symptoms resolved only after she began the Kelley 
Program. Judy S. ~ Glendale, CA
9-Year Victory Over Breast Cancer
In January of 1973, I  had another checkup from my breast doctor in Beverly Hills (a 
breast surgeon, tops in this field). I  had been going to him every six months for two 
years, then every four months for one year, then every two months until January of 
1973, at which time he told me the lump in my left breast had gotten very large and I  
would have to go to surgery. His nurse told me he was an expert and that he could 
tell by feeling the lump if it was malignant or benign and that a mammogram gave a 
96% account of the tumor whether it was malignant or benign. The doctor explained 
how nicely he would remove the breast, etc., and about bras for women whose 
breasts have been removed. He also was going to Europe for two months; my surgery 
would be scheduled when he returned. I  had read Dr. Kelley's book some months before and I  decided to go to one of our 
local health food stores where I  had bought the book to talk to the owner, who was 
always well informed on natural foods and vitamins. She told me to call some people 
in town who had gone to Dr. Kelley and that I  should by all means go to him. I  was 
very encouraged when I  talked to the people who had gone to Dr. Kelley. All had 
cancer at one time, and one person in particular was most helpful to me. I  was just starting a new job at this time as a singer in a famous Italian restaurant 
singing opera and musical comedy. This was several times around for me to "start" 
my career again after having three children and being a housewife for a few years. I
136
Winning The Cancer War
was very excited but was not feeling good. I  flew to see Dr. Kelley, then in Texas, and my cancer count was 600. I  took Dr. 
Kelley's advice, went home and started on his program of diet, enemas and 
supplements. I  was weak at first but in a few months I  really started feeling so much 
better. My husband was totally against the program, my friends at church thought I  
was crazy and I  found it was difficult to pay for all the supplements, but I  was 
determined to stay on the entire program. I  kept my appointment with the breast surgeon but had been on Dr. Kelley's 
program for two months when I  returned for my examination. I  was told the lump had 
gone down and no surgery was needed. I  left his office in early March of 1973 and 
have not been back since. The following year I  was not only singing four nights per 
week but was working at a very busy TV station eight hours per day. I  continued to see Dr. Kelley once a year and my cancer count continued to 
decrease until my last checkup in August of 1977 when my cancer count was 60, 
which Dr. Kelley says is normal. I  couldn't say enough about how I  would never take any other treatment for cancer 
than Dr. Kelley's. In fact, I  consult him on all my physical problems, I  wouldn't think 
of taking another doctor's advice without asking Dr. Kelley's first. I  tell everyone 
about Dr. Kelley! I  am a most happy and satisfied patient of Dr. Kelley! Dr. Kelley: "Many people want me to make decisions for them: Should I  have 
chemotherapy? Should I  do this? Should I  do that? Should I  do what the doctor tells 
me to do, or not to do what he tells me to do? These kinds of questions have given 
me many, many hours of frustration and anxiety. First of all, I  am in a legal position 
where I  cannot tell the patient not to do what the doctor tells them to do. And I  know 
the physician does the very best he knows how. It is just that he is suffering from a 
great deal of ignorance. So, legally I  am in a very bad situation. "Morally, I  am even in a worse position. It becomes quite a dilemma in my mind. All of us would like to take the easy way out and have somebody make our decisions 
for us. But that doesn't give us the education we need and the experiences that are 
our responsibility to take on. "So, the way I  address the problem is this: God has given us a rulebook to follow 
for our education. He tells us these are the principles we should follow in our life's 
activities; and if we do these things, this w ill happen; and if we do those things, that 
w ill happen. And then he lets us have the total freedom and free w ill to do what we
137
Winning The Cancer War
will, and live with the consequences. I  study and try to find the basic principles. "In a similar sense, Metabolic Medicine is essentially a program based upon what I  
have observed in thousands of cases to be sound principles. I  am continually 
improving my understanding of these principles and all I  can do is educate the patient 
to the best of my ability. I  look at each patient and say, 'These are the things that I've 
observed, and these are the principles upon which our program exists.' "If you have a life threatening situation, such as a tumor mass blocking the colon or 
blocking the bladder or blocking the stomach or blocking the air passage, you should, 
of course, address it in such a way as to take care of it. Orthodox medicine has done 
a very excellent job of addressing life-threatening situations such as trauma, and 
infections. Each individual patient has to make the decision in a life-threatening 
situation. If you have a 5-lb. tumor in the abdomen and it is dead from your doing a 
nutritional program, it's certainly going to be easier to remove this 5-lb. tumor and 
throw it away than it would be to sit there and have your immune system and body 
chemistry gradually dissolve it, using a lot of energy and stressing the body to dissolve 
it into the bloodstream and then cleaning out the bloodstream through the liver and 
the other organs of elimination. "In any situation that is addressed, you have to hold to basic principles and do 
some ecological thinking. It would be stupid to say you are going to follow a 
nutritional program when a tumor is blocking the intestinal tract and you can't get 
any food into your body and you can't get any nutritional support. It would likewise 
be stupid to say, 'I am going to take chemotherapy because I  have a snarled tumor in 
my colon and I'll take chemotherapy to the point of death and then have a better 
chance of survival.' Every situation is addressed individually, with understanding, 
knowledge and wisdom." References:

Iowa. We raise cattle and have about 500 acres in diversified farming. We have 
always been active in church, farm bureau, school, and community affairs. We have

four married children. I  have worked outdoors doing fieldwork, chores, chickens to tend, and a large 
vegetable and fruit garden. My children had lots of sickness from tonsillitis to chronic 
bronchitis, and coughing day and night with high fevers. When we learned about 
chiropractic, that helped us a lot. When our youngest daughter was 14, she missed 
six weeks of school with headaches as a forerunner of arthritis. She was in three 
different hospitals, with all the typical medical tests done, showing nothing but 
arthritis. They sent us home with the comment that there was nothing they could do 
for her arthritis but give her 6 to 20 aspirin a day. From here, I  studied nutrition like 
mad and would give her various things for her condition and she improved 
dramatically. The next year, she needed a health examination so she could be a 
lifeguard and the doctor told us he had never seen anyone so healthy. I  told him it 
was all the nutrition I  was giving her and he said that had nothing to do with it, but I  
knew it was the answer. We have had numerous medical doctors but none knew 
anything about nutrition or w ill admit it has anything to do with health. I  spent nine years working with the American Cancer Society as door knocker, 
county chairman, crusade chairman, at district meetings and state conventions. My 
mother died of cancer. I  know what the word "cancer" means — the hopeless feeling, 
the despair — and I  am scared to death of it. When I  made my last call on a dear 
friend who died of cancer, I  wanted to say to her: "I'll be the next one," for I  had 
found a lump in my breast at that time; also, I  was having digestive disturbances. This 
was three years after I  started learning about nutrition. I  have read a lot of books, 
health magazines, etc. I  knew what medical science was doing. I  was determined I  
would not go to be butchered at the hospital. I  said nothing to anyone about the 
lump. It got larger as time went on. I  was trying to eat right, as much as I  could read 
in the books. The following March, my husband wanted to get each of us a life insurance policy. I  said nothing but I  knew I  wouldn't pass a health test. The doctor told my husband 
about the lump and I  was refused the insurance policy. He told me to go to the 
hospital and have a biopsy, etc. I  wouldn't go. We went to visit my sister and told 
her. By this time the lump was plainly visible when you looked at my breast. In a few 
days she telephoned she had learned of a chiropractor that could help. He had 
helped his daughter. A light in the tunnel. We started going to the chiropractor three 
times a week, a 100-mile trip. After a few calls, he told us about Dr. Kelley and 
advised both my sister and me to go to him, as she had had surgery and they found 
cancer. In June we made our first call to Dr. Kelley. By this time the lump in my 
breast was 1-3/4 inches across and there were numerous small ones and even some 
in the other breast and more digestive disturbances. Looking back now, I  can see the Lord leading me to study about nutrition so I
139
Winning The Cancer War
would be prepared to know what I  needed when Dr. Kelley set up our nutritional 
plan. I  told our children of the lump in my breast and our plans to go to Texas to see 
Dr. Kelley. From the beginning, I  had the assurance that I  was doing the right thing. I  
had accepted Christ as my Saviour and I  knew His perfect peace and was assured of 
His leading. Our youngest daughter made it plain she thought I  should go to a 
medical doctor. My husband was doubtful, but let me do what I  wanted to do. I  ordered Dr. Kelley's book, One Answer to Cancer and started the beginning of the 
treatment. This looked like a large undertaking. Dr. Kelley was a long way off and 
would be hard to contact regarding problems from day to day. Still I  never doubted 
that this was the way I  should go. I  have doctored my children for 18 years with 
medical doctors and medicines and never had any help. This had to be the better 
way. I  never told my family doctor about the lump in my breast. The only one who 
knew of it was the doctor who had refused me the insurance policy. When we went to Dr. Kelley for our test, he counseled us as long as we had 
questions. We left his office with our programs to follow. My sister and I  studied our 
books all the way home, which was a three-day trip. Dr. Kelley had told us in his 
book what to expect, how we would feel and what our body reactions would be, so 
we would be prepared to know what was happening. Whenever we had doubts, we 
kept remembering that Dr. Kelley had this and he knows what to do. This was our 
confidence. I  bought a juicer and made carrot and celery juice several times a day. That took a 
lot of time. Preparing all of the fresh vegetables takes time. But, I  had my own garden 
for years so I  knew how much work it is to raise and prepare vegetables for the table. Now we were eating everything raw possible. Even my family cooperated. Within two weeks, my digestive disturbances were better. At first I'd go out and 
work awhile and come in to fix carrot juice and lay down to rest. Then get up and go 
out again to finish the jobs. My family helped carry the water and feed for the 
chickens, but I  still raised and dressed 150 chickens that first summer. In six weeks, I  
felt really good. I  didn't have any of the things that Dr. Kelley had written in the book 
that I  might have. My body responded quickly and I  began to regain my strength that I  
hadn't had for months. I  Never Ate One Thing I  was not supposed to eat. I  took my 
nutrition exactly as he told me. I  have always been a determined person. I  did 
everything as near right as I  could or knew to do. This helped me in my diet. If I  had 
even once eaten sweets or anything that was on the list of "no-no's," I  wouldn't have 
been able to win the game. That's what you need — determination to follow the 
rules. In six months the lumps in my breasts were gone. I  felt much better than I  had before. I  
had not had surgery and the awful ordeal of that, or intravenous feeding, and I  still had a
140
Winning The Cancer War
whole body. I  was telling everyone to eat right. But I  did not tell anyone (outside of my 
family) that I  had cancer. People knew I  had been really sick, but not what was really 
wrong with me. I  guess I  wanted to be sure myself that I  could do it before I  would tell 
anyone you could lick cancer with proper lifestyle and nutrition. I  continued chiropractic 
treatment for years, and still do. Mostly when I  talk to people about eating properly — not 
eating food with preservatives, eating raw foods instead of cooked ones — they make light 
of it and never really listen. Yet, many call me with all of their ills and ask me what they 
should do. Some I  can advise and some don't believe what you say anyway. Three years later in March, I  applied for another insurance policy with another 
company. I  told him I  had been refused a policy because of the lumps in my breast. He 
sent me for another health examination with another doctor. I  told this doctor also about 
the lumps — that I  did not go to a doctor but I  started taking nutrition and eating raw foods, 
etc. and the lumps went away. He couldn't find any lumps. They X-rayed my chest and 
found nothing. Yet he would not believe the nutrition had anything to do with it. He told 
me I  was in excellent health and I  got the insurance policy. It was a much larger policy 
than the one I  had been refused because of the lumps in my breast. In July after the X-rays, I  noticed the lumps in my breast again. I  had just read an article 
in the paper that they were finding "hard evidence that X-rays are actually causing cancer." On July 20, 1976, when I  discovered the lumps back again, I  immediately went back on 
my original schedule and diet and within 6 months my lumps were gone again. My advice 
to others would be — don't get X-rays taken. The radiation exposure is too dangerous. After 5 years with Dr. Kelley, I  do not need tests as often as I  did. I  follow his diet list and 
my own home grown foods when possible. I  continue to take all kinds of nutrition as he 
recommends. I  am not as strict with my diet as I  was the first three years but when I  don't 
eat right, or stop the nutrition, I  don't feel good and I  know what to do to get better again. Dr. Kelley has answered personally all my letters to him about health problems that come 
up. He takes my telephone calls when I  need to know something right away. Good health 
is something you need to work at daily. Dr. Kelley's advice works. My illness has given my 
husband and me a better, closer relationship than we have ever known. I  know Metabolic 
Medicine works. It did for me. Dr. Kelley: "It's hard to appreciate the sorts of obstacles patients had to overcome 
to see me as a clinician. First of all, I  am not a medical doctor, I  am a dentist. Second, 
my office was unbelievably unacceptable when compared to where a lot of these 
people had gone — to the great clinics and hospitals of our world. They really had to 
lower themselves to come into my meager surroundings. While adequately appointed 
and kept immaculately clean by my receptionist, there certainly was no pretension in 
any respect. On many occasions, people would drive up in their Cadillac or Rolls 
Royce and drive away because they thought that they couldn't possibly find anything

of worth in such an unpretentious office." Stomach Cancer Testimonial
Elizabeth W ojt
Mrs. Wojt is a 47-year old woman from New Jersey alive 10 years since her diagnosis of 
stomach carcinoma. Before her bout with cancer, Mrs. Wojt had a long history of general 
poor health and chronic digestive problems. In 1974, she first experienced episodes of 
severe abdominal pain that usually occurred between meals, and were relieved by eating. Over the following three years, her symptoms gradually worsened, although she was not 
normally evaluated until spring of 1977. At that time, a barium swallow revealed a tumor, 
described in an official report as "suspicious lesion in the fundus and cardiac of the 
stomach." Mrs. Wojt was referred to a gastroenterologist, who biopsied the suspect tissue during 
endoscopy (examination of the stomach with a flexible tube inserted down the esophagus). After review, the specimen was identified as a carcinoma. She was admitted to Patterson 
General Hospital on April 17, the following day, she went to surgery (for a radical subtotal 
gastrectomy, which is resection of most of the stomach). The tumor had already metastasized 
into the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes; the final pathology report describes: 
"Adenocarcinoma of the stomach with metastases to the gastrocolic nodes and omentum." Mrs. Wojt was told she most likely would not live a year. Nevertheless, after leaving 
Patterson hospital in late April, she was referred to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer 
Center in New York for possible experimental treatment. But Mrs. Wojt, who already knew 
of Dr. Kelley's work, decided to refuse all orthodox therapy. Instead, that same month she 
consulted Dr. Kelley and began the full Kelley program. Mrs. Wojt followed her nutritional 
regimen for five years. At present, ten years after her diagnosis, she is in excellent health 
apparently cured of her once metastatic disease. According to Mrs. Wojt, her doctors are 
"dumbfounded" by her prolonged survival. Mrs. Wojt is indeed a remarkable case. The five-year survival rate for patients with 
metastatic stomach cancer is close to zero — even with aggressive therapy. Mrs. Wojt 
received neither chemotherapy nor radiation after her surgery, and chose to follow only the 
Kelley program. Leukemia Testimonial
Thomas M., Alexandria, LA
5-Year Victory Over Leukemia
142
Winning The Cancer War
At age 61, this lawyer, blessed with a lovely wife and eight children, was 
diagnosed at Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans, as having acute myelogenous leukemia. My friends at Ochsner Clinic opined that the condition was terminal and that I  had at 
best a few months and at worst a few days to live. Following three courses of Cytosar and Thiogunine at the Clinic (from October 7, 
1977 through about mid-December 1977), I  fortunately had a remission. I  was to 
continue with maintenance therapy, which the medics told me would, at best, 
improve the quality of life. There was slim, if any, hope for recovery. Dr. Kelley's book miraculously came to my wife's attention. We visited him in 
Washington in December 1977. We were enthusiastic and got on the program and 
experienced dramatic improvement. The idea that you treat the body, or host, and not 
the symptoms was so intellectually stimulating and sensible, I  wondered why my 
medical friends and my doctor son could not understand and why they discouraged 
and belittled my efforts. I  very shortly resumed my practice, golf and a normal but 
different lifestyle. About midsummer of 1978, it became apparent that to continue the chemotherapy 
would destroy any hope I  had of bodybuilding. These shots would nauseate and 
disrupt me and would knock my blood count from near normal to complete disarray. My mind indicated that they be discontinued, despite advice to the contrary. I  have continued with Metabolic Medicine and on the complete lifestyle change 
that holistic medicine demands for optimum health. I  have no problems with 
leukemia since the initial remission was obtained. I  know that when I  took the chemo maintenance, my body was disrupted. I  know 
that when it was discontinued, I  continued to improve without the disruption of the 
blood picture and the nausea. Metabolic Medicine is so sensible, it is hard to see why anyone could dispute that 
it has a place in the lives of the acutely ill. Nothing is perfect and nothing makes one 
eternal, but in my case, I  am thankful for the opportunity for the benefits of this non­
toxic therapy and the miracle it brought for me. Some call my luck "spontaneous remission," maybe so, I  believe that Metabolic 
Medicine makes for "spontaneous remissions" from the symptoms of terminal illness 
in those whose bodies have not been abused beyond repair, whether by neglect or 
over treatment. Some call letters such as this "testimonials" instead of "case histories." For me, this
143
Winning The Cancer War
is a very brief history of my case for whatever value and hope it may give to others. One last observation ought to be made. Some decry holistic therapy that of 
"Hucksters" and "Quacks." Most practitioners of this art (and there are many medical 
men in this kind of practice) are those who have had a terminal diagnosis for 
themselves or loved ones and were disenchanted by the hopelessness and horror of 
traditional therapies. I  have met many of the "Greats." None that I  know drive 
Mercedes automobiles. All are healers and not moneymakers. The cost of a year of 
holistic medicine for me does not exceed the cost of one week of treatment in any 
good conventional cancer hospital. I  enjoy my family, my practice and my life. I  am grateful for a therapy that has, thus 
for, worked for me. Dr. Kelley: "My dear friend Tom brings up a lot of wonderful memories and he 
brings to mind the subject of soft tumor. Soft tumors, it should be emphasized, are an 
entirely different condition from what we normally think of as cancer. What are soft 
tumors? I  classify the leukemias, lymphomas, melanomas, tumors of the immune 
system, and those of the blood system as soft tumors. It's very frightening that soft 
tumors are becoming so prevalent in children. Before 1979, we find that the highest 
cause of death in children was traumatic accidents, such as falling out of a tree or 
running in front of a car. But since 1979, we find that the leading cause of death of 
children under 16 is cancer. That is sad commentary on our society. Most of these 
cancer deaths are from the soft tumors. "Tom was a patient 62 years of age. A lot of people, as they get older, as their 
immune systems malfunction, as their energies wane, as they become exhausted, 
develop soft tumors. Tom was a professional person who had a hard, active life and 
developed leukemia. It was very, very severe. In fact, so bad that he had started 
collecting fluid in the abdomen, a condition that is always fatal. It was quite 
rewarding to have a person with this condition so willing to give 100% attention and 
effort to following Metabolic Medicine in such a severe, advanced disease. It is 
always a joy to me to see a patient so conscientious and pure of heart in following the 
program. In Tom's case we find that the side effects of the program — such side 
effects as resuming his law practice and feeling terrific — were quite astounding 
also." Breast and Liver Cancer Testimonial
Rosswitha A. ~ Malaga, Spain
6-Year Victory Over Breast and Liver Cancer
144
Winning The Cancer War
At the time of writing this testimonial, Rosswitha had a 4-year victory over breast 
and liver cancer. Nutritional Counseling Service heard from her in 1983 and she was 
in excellent health and enthusiastic about the program. In June 1976, I  discovered a lump on my left breast. My gynecologist sent me to 
have a mammography done. The result was positive and he told me it was almost 
certainly a malignant growth. I  went to a surgeon who examined me thoroughly and 
had some more X-rays done. He found I  had an enlarged liver and said he would 
have to do an exploratory operation before doing a mastectomy. After the operation, 
he told me I  had cancer on the liver too and that there was no point in removing the 
breast. He said he would give me two sessions of chemotherapy. I  decided (after two 
weeks of pills and injections) to go to the University Clinic Hospital in Frankfurt, 
Germany, where my parents live. The surgeon in Malaga, Spain, gave me a report to 
take to Germany, which said I  had cancer of the breast with a massive growth on the 
liver and another in the abdominal area. I  had more examinations and a scan test in Frankfurt, and the surgeon there 
confirmed the Spanish report and said the growth of the tumor was fist-size. He told 
my husband and myself there was no cure and the most we could hope for was a 
remission. He would not say how long a remission. He advised me to have a 
mastectomy to remove the primary growth in the breast and to have the ovaries taken 
out to change the hormone balance in the body, which would make the subsequent 
chemotherapy treatment more effective. We were given the impression that there was no time to lose and little alternative. I  
decided to have the surgery and chemotherapy in the hope that it would give me a 
remission and enough time to seek a cure elsewhere. By this time I  was feeling bad. I  
was suffering, I  think, from the reactions of the chemotherapy in Spain. I  had an 
infection in the bladder, which was painful. My hair was beginning to fall out. I  felt 
weak and depressed. When I  returned to the hospital a few days later for the 
operation, I  could hardly walk. I  was operated on July 28 and started chemotherapy 
(injections) on September 1. I  stayed in the hospital only three days after each chemotherapy treatment, and, 
after the third session, the doctors began to comment on this, comparing me with the 
other patients, who were on their backs for days after the treatments. I  suggested it 
could be due to the diet I  was on. The moment I  learned I  had cancer I  had put 
myself on a healthy diet, cut all the chemicalized foods, and made adjustments to it 
when a friend in Germany gave a book on food for cancer patients. The doctors and 
nurses seemed amused at this and said I  could eat anything I  wanted — it would 
make no difference. I  continued with my diet. There was a woman doctor in the chemotherapy ward who seemed more willing
145
Winning The Cancer War
than the others to discuss my problem with me and I  told her of my intention to seek 
a cure and showed her a booklet on Dr. Nieper of Hanover. She had not heard of Dr. 
Nieper or his treatment and told me I  was responding well to the chemotherapy and 
should forget about any other kind of treatment until I  had completed the 
chemotherapy sessions. I  couldn't forget about it, though, as I  was becoming more 
convinced that chemotherapy was not going to give me the long remission I  had 
hoped for and that I  had better look quickly for an alternative treatment. When I  was told I  had cancer, my husband and myself did the contrary to what 
many people do in this situation; we told everyone we knew about my problem, 
hoping somebody could point us to a cure. My husband, publishing the English- 
language magazine on the Costa de Sol (an international retirement center full of 
informed people from all over the world), is in a good position to find out about 
things, and, even before I  began chemotherapy in Frankfurt, we had gathered a lot of 
information and were writing to a dozen doctors and clinics around Europe who were 
using unorthodox treatments to cure cancer. A friend gave us a copy of the Healthview Newsletter at this time, and the long 
interview with Dr. Kelley in which he explained very clearly his theory and treatment, 
gave me tremendous hope. Here was proof that cancer was being cured. I  was given a break in the chemotherapy treatment and returned to our home in 
Spain towards the end of November 1976. The chemotherapy was taking its toll and I  
felt I  was going downhill. I  was bald, often depressed, very weak and in pain. Until 
then, even during the worst moments, I  believed I  would somehow fight my way back 
to good health. When I  read somewhere that only one in ten thousand survived 
chemotherapy, I  assumed I  was going to be the one in ten thousand. Now I  wasn't so 
sure, and was so weak I  felt I'd had enough and couldn't go on. The cramps in my 
stomach became unbearable and we called in a local doctor, a friend of ours, and he 
gave me an injection to kill the pains. He called my husband aside and told him that 
he had given me morphine and would come immediately any hour of the day or 
night to give me more as I  needed it. He thought I  couldn't live many more days. Another doctor friend, who runs a local clinic where I  was having regular blood 
checks, had received a report from the Frankfurt hospital, which stated I  had a fist­
sized growth on the liver and several other plum-size growths in the pelvis area. Questioned by my husband as to my chances, he simply shook his head and said, 
"malo, malo, malo" (bad, bad, bad). I  felt the stomach cramps were indigestion and became extremely careful about 
what I  ate. In fact, at this point I  was almost too frightened to eat anything. I  knew 
now I  had to do something quickly before it was too late. We began studying all the 
information we had gathered on cancer cures and set ourselves a time limit of two 
days to make our decision. This was perhaps the most agonizing time of all. I  felt we
146
Winning The Cancer War
had to make the right choice the first time, as there wouldn't be time for another. My Yoga teacher joined us (I had started Yoga some weeks before and each day 
was doing some simple exercises, mainly breathing exercises, which I  believed would 
strengthen me and help me relax). We had several books on cancer treatments but 
kept coming back to Dr. Kelley's One Answer to Cancer. It made sense to me and I  
was particularly impressed by the fact that Dr. Kelley had gone through what I  was 
going through and had cured himself. I  had felt convinced about Dr. Kelley for weeks 
but I  was put off by the distance I  would have to travel to see him. He seemed so far 
away and I  dreaded the journey. I  made my decision at the end of two days and phoned The Kelley Foundation in 
Winthrop, Washington. As much as my husband wanted to go with me, we agreed 
that it would be more practical if he stayed at home with our three small children 
(ages 5, 7, and 9) and I  be accompanied on the journey by my yoga teacher, who — 
being American — would probably prove more useful during our time in the States. Winthrop was quite a contrast to the hospital in Frankfurt. I  had been very 
impressed at first by the vast buildings, the army of doctors and nurses, the apparent 
efficiency of the Frankfurt hospital and felt, mistakenly, I  had come to the right place 
and that here they must be clever enough to cure anything. Arriving in Winthrop, I  
wondered if it could be possible that such important work as Dr. Kelley's was being 
carried out in such a tiny place miles and miles from anywhere. Dr. Kelley himself was quite different from the doctors in Frankfurt who had made 
me feel I  was being a nuisance every time I  asked a question about my condition and 
treatment. This attitude I  had found frustrating, as it was my life in their hands and I  
considered I  had a right to know exactly what they were doing with it. The other 
patients didn't seem to mind being treated like children who should keep quiet and 
do as they were told. At least, I  never heard any ask questions about the treatment they were receiving or 
drugs they were being given. When I  suggested to a fellow patient receiving 
chemotherapy and in constant pain that she eat something healthier than Frankfurter 
sausages and ice cream, she said the doctors knew best and they would surely not 
give her food that was not good for her. At last I  was speaking with a doctor who treated me like an intelligent human being 
and was quite willing to discuss all the details of my illness. Dr. Kelley explained 
everything very clearly, admitted I  was in a bad state but said he saw no reason why I  
shouldn't come through if I  followed the treatment. It was largely up to me. I  felt 
tremendous relief and hope. It was like the chance to live had been taken away and 
was now being given back to me. I  now had a chance and it was all I  asked for. If my
747
Winning The Cancer War
recovery depended largely on my own efforts, I  felt confident I  would succeed, as I  
was ready to do anything to get well. Returning home, I  stopped off at Frankfurt where I  had a mid-December 
appointment for more chemotherapy. I  hated the idea of having more drugs pumped 
into me but relatives and friends at Frankfurt, nervous at the thought of my dropping 
the orthodox treatment, advised me to keep the appointment, and Dr. Kelley did not 
seem opposed to the idea of my having one more session. I  went to the hospital but 
the moment they started giving me the injections I  felt I  had made a terrible mistake 
and that all the drugs were going to do was poison my body and weaken it even 
more. I  felt terrible afterwards. I  was in bed for several days with pains, nausea and 
exhaustion, and I  felt very depressed. I  felt so weak I  couldn't face the journey home 
to spend Christmas with my husband and my children. I  spent all Christmas day 
vowing I  would take no more drugs. All I  wanted now was to go home and start Dr. 
Kelley's program. I  began the nutritional program on January 3, 1977. Swallowing all the 
supplements and taking the morning enema was a bit of an effort at first but after a 
few days I  got used to this and it became routine. I  suffered none of the reactions Dr. 
Kelley warned me about. In fact, I  began to feel better almost immediately. The pains 
went and, except for an ache in the shoulder during a bout of flu last winter, I  have 
had none since I  started the program. I  followed Dr. Kelley's advice and became selfish for a few months, concentrating 
all my thought and efforts on my own health and helping my body to become strong 
again. I  continued my daily yoga exercises. I  started a vegetable garden so we could 
have fresh vegetables. I  began to make my own bread, made from whole-grain flour 
we bought from an old mill in an inland Pueblo. I  felt now I  was doing something 
positive and, after months of pain and depression, was now on the road to recovery. After eight months, I  was re-tested and Dr. Kelley wrote me to tell me I  was making 
very good progress. This was tremendously encouraging but I  already knew in myself 
that I  was getting stronger with each week that passed. Around this time, I  went to see 
the surgeon in Malaga who had examined me the previous year. He examined me 
and was amazed that he could no longer feel the growth on the liver. He said he 
thought it had gone. I  wondered whether he was trying to cheer me up but we later 
learned through a mutual doctor friend that he discussed my case during a medical 
reunion in Malaga and said I  was taking some weird treatment in America and, 
whatever it was, it seemed to be working. We have several doctor friends here in Spain who are familiar with my case. 148
Winning The Cancer War
Whenever I  see them, they seem very pleased to see how well I  am looking but show 
no curiosity nor do they express the slightest interest in the treatment I  am on. This 
puzzles me as I  should have thought a doctor, more than any other person, would 
want to know how I  am recovering from an illness they regard as incurable and 
which, according to them, should have killed me more than a year before. After a year of staying most of the time at home and concentrating quietly on the 
business of getting well and following my nutritional program to the letter, I  began, 
little by little, to go out and become more active. I  consider I  am now leading a 
normal life. I  run a home, am involved in the PTA at my children's Spanish school, 
and help my husband in the office three times a week. I  might still have some cancer in my body but this does not worry me. I  am 
convinced it is only a matter of months before I  am completely cured. Dr. Kelley told 
me that my illness could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I  could not believe this 
at the time but now I  am sure he was right. I  feel I  am starting a new life. My family is 
now eating a healthier diet. And I  feel my illness has brought my husband and myself 
closer together. I  also have the added satisfaction of being able to help other people. Quite a number have heard about my recovery and have come to me for information 
and advice. Some people I  have spoken to have been impressed by the nutritional program but 
have been unable to believe that the doctors who have put them on chemotherapy 
could be wrong. Most of them have since died and this saddens me because I  feel 
their deaths were unnecessary. I  only wish I  had heard about Dr. Kelley earlier and 
had not submitted myself to surgery and chemotherapy. But this, perhaps, is negative 
thinking. I  feel very grateful that I  have been given the chance to get well. I  feel lucky 
to be alive. Dr. Kelley: "Rosswitha brought to my attention one of the things I  just take for 
granted and should be a characteristic of all doctors — people who are really doctors. She said, 'At last I  was speaking with a doctor who treated me like an intelligent 
human being and was quite willing to discuss all the details of my illness.' That seems 
to me to be the way it should be, but I  have to confess at this point that I  am the one 
who benefits — a thousand times more than the patient does. Every single patient I  
have had the privilege of working with and talking to taught me more than I  could 
ever teach them. Patients have given to me more than I  could ever give to them. The 
lessons that I've learned working with each one of them have been such a beautiful 
experience that I  just can't go on and leave it unmentioned here. "I find it really sad if the clinician can't learn from each patient. I  can't comprehend 
the clinician having this phenomenal educational institution right in front of him and 
not learning a great deal. Not only did I  learn a lot, but the people paid me to learn
149
Winning The Cancer War
and I  always felt a little guilty about that. I  learned so much that it looked to me that I  
ought to be paying them. But I  wouldn't have been able to function if they hadn't 
been paying me to be learning to do a better job each day. I  certainly appreciated it 
and I  hope it has been a feeling of mutual gain on both of our parts. "Rosswitha brings to mind a comparison of cancer with diabetes. Before Dr. 
Banting and Best discovered insulin in 1918 in Canada, a person would have 
diabetes and would ask the doctor if it could be anything he was eating, and should 
he change his diet in any way? And the doctor would say, 'Oh no, it doesn't make 
any difference — eat anything you want, you aren't going to live much longer 
anyhow, so just live it up and eat whatever you want.' Doctors couldn't connect the 
diet and diabetes. Even lay people in those days figured out that if you ate a lot of 
leafy green vegetables and reduced the amount of sugar that you took in, you 
survived better and did well — better than the person who didn't watch his diet. "And so it was that after the development of insulin, doctors figured out that there 
is a factor in diet. In the early 1920s there weren't very good analytical facilities 
available. But the doctors empirically found that the people who ate green leafy 
vegetables, and a few other foods, survived diabetes much better and the sugar count 
in their urine was much better. They had a saying in the medical community at that 
time that leafy, green vegetables had 'natural insulin' in them. It wasn't actually the 
truth, but they became aware of the fact that including these vegetables in the diet did 
play a role and they were trying to explain it. We're in the same situation now with 
cancer. Some day in the near future, it w ill dawn on the medical community that diet 
makes quite a difference in people with cancer, and greatly affects health in general. It can't happen too soon. When it does, a lot of lives w ill be lived more healthfully 
and a lot of lives w ill be saved." Pancreatic Cancer Testimonial

8-Year Victory Over Pancreatic Cancer 
The parents of the patient relate this testimony. Female: age 27, no history of smoking, drinking or drugs; attack of hypoglycemia 
between ages of 15-17. November 1973 (when D was 20) was our first indication of a problem. D was 
stricken with aches and pains and fever. A 3-day flu had been hitting our area with 
similar symptoms so at this point we were not overly concerned. After several days of 
unsuccessfully trying to keep her temperature down, we decided this was something
150
Winning The Cancer War
other than the flu. At the emergency receiving room of our hospital, chest X-rays, 
blood tests and urinalysis failed to locate her problem. Her temperature range for a 
24-hour period went from below normal to 106°F. We were referred to a M.D. who 
specialized in internal medicine. Thus began a nightmare that lasted many weeks. Testing for one week as an 
outpatient ended in no answers. She was rapidly going downhill — weakened by the 
many hospital trips. We were advised to admit her into the hospital for extensive 
testing. Up to this point in our lives we had never even considered the fact that 
anyone could be this sick and not have a physician give the reason. We feared in the 
beginning a serious disease, but as time went on we would have welcomed anything 
that would have been a concrete answer. Watching D dying with no apparent reason 
left us quite helpless except for our faith in God. As time went on we found ourselves 
doing more praying and less reaching out to Man for answers. We needed a miracle 
and we had no doubt where that would come from. Biopsies, scans, X-rays, bone marrow tests and blood taken every two hours 
became our way of life for the next ten days. No answers. D losing ground. Six local 
doctors and two consulting doctors from a larger city failed to find anything that 
could be causing death. By now D had lost 40 pounds, most of her hair had fallen out, her menstrual 
periods had stopped, severe anemia and painful hot lumps traveled all over her body. Massive doses of penicillin and streptomycin had caused a near total hearing loss. She was dying from malnutrition. The week before Christmas the doctor informed us that D had run out of time. The 
only thing left was exploratory surgery. After questioning the doctor closely about her 
chances of coming through the surgery and of their chances in finding the problem, 
we decided to take her home. It was a big decision. If she was going to die, we 
wanted her to be at home where her loved ones could be with her. No more tests and 
definitely no hospital, we were leaving for home with a lung fungus medication 
although all tests were negative. Little did we know that this would be the turning point in our battle. Everything was 
downhill from there out except for one minor incident. We were on our own now but somehow had a strange feeling of relief. We had no 
intention of just sitting and waiting; we could not just do nothing. We began with 
Adelle Davis' anti-stress formula and large dosages of vitamin C — (the doctor had 
refused to give D any vitamin C through the vein while in the hospital.) We had been 
taking natural vitamins for several years and knew vitamin C would do no harm. As 
we look back we know that this was God's way of letting us know we were finally on
151
Winning The Cancer War
the right track. Many people all over the USA were praying which resulted in two 
tired weary people getting divine guidance directly from God daily. Five days after the vitamin C was given, her temperature was normal. God in 
simplicity, restored life to a dying body. Our first visit to the doctor's office three weeks later found D improved in every 
area, strong enough to walk, hair growing, appetite normal and gaining weight. The 
doctor's face could not hide his disbelief. His associates came for a look-see too. After we explained what we had done, he checked her records and gave all the credit 
to the fungus medication. He was so sure and convincing, we made our first blunder 
since leaving their hospital. We cut back on the vitamin C and concentrated on the 
medication. Her temperature rose immediately. We were shook. After asking God's 
forgiveness, we resumed with our vitamin C schedule, adding health-building foods 
as fast as D could take them. A searching time began as we looked for answers. D was returning to health as 
rapidly as she went down, but what happened? Would it happen again? Did God 
want us to go on searching for the answer or accept her healing and let it go at that. God led our steps to the answer. Because we were involved in a natural business, we had heard of Dr. Kelley. Thinking he could help us with a proper balanced diet that would be scientific 
instead of guesswork, we began to investigate the possibility of a visit. We had 
exhausted our finances paying hospital and doctor fees, so back to earnest praying. When we received a check from a friend in the amount that we needed for the trip, 
we knew God had given us a green light. In March our first visit to Dr. Kelley was made. We could not believe what took 
place. Answers instead of questions. How refreshing! There was a problem: A 
malignant tumor on her pancreas. It was still there. Wasn't God good to keep us 
searching? (A medical doctor later confirmed the tumor.) Although we were saddened 
by the nature of her problem, we were relieved to finally have an answer. We were 
told when her problem started, how long it would take to clear it and a possible 
reason for the problem beginning in the first place. The diet alone would have been 
worth the trip, the rest we considered priceless. Upon our return we began to change our lifestyle to fit D's new program. It was 
difficult, but we followed it in its entirety without any alterations. D had amazingly 
few problems and returned to work June 1. (A total leave-of-absence of 6 months.) To 
date she has had no recurrence of cancer and no major health problems of any 
nature. She takes vitamin and mineral supplements. 152

What we have learned about cancer through Dr. Kelley has spared at least eight 
lives. We would go the same route again well knowing what we would be getting 
into and knowing the results. D's life was worth it all; the other eight we look at as a 
major bonus from the Lord. My unanswered question: Why could Dr. Kelley find in 
one day what many doctors could not find in many months? Dr. Kelley: "Pancreatic cancer is very devastating and very close to my heart 
because that's what I  had. The average life expectancy of a clinically diagnosed case 
of pancreas malignancy is two months. This lovely young lady, with eight years' 
survival, is an example of what can be done with total family unity. This family is a 
wonderful example of 'how to.' They addressed two contributing factors to successful 
healing — a positive attitude and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get well. "Pancreatic cancer has some particular characteristics which are not like other 
cancers. These characteristics include a lot of excessive gas and very unusual mental 
states such as very severe nightmares, depression, anxiety and all the negative factors 
that otherwise happy and cheerful individuals would not have. Such individuals flip 
into depression and irritation and become hard to get along with. "D is so nice, it's hard to imagine her being hard to get along with. But even if she 
was, her parents would have understood and paid no attention. That kind of unselfish 
support can make the difference between life and death." Skin Cancer Testimonial

"You have cancer." When I  heard those three words over the telephone my only thought was "I'm 
going to die!" I  was "shook up!" I  barely heard the voice on the other end of the 
telephone tell me to come in and see Dr. S.L. as soon as possible. Only another cancer patient knows what it means to be told "you have cancer." It 
is not only a sentence of death; it is a sentence of death linked with severe pain. I  was 46, living and working in New York City when I  was diagnosed as having 
cancer. I  had been feeling "poorly" since I  was 37 and had had a partial 
hysterectomy. I  was trying every day to live with "feeling poorly" because no doctor I  
saw was able to help me "feel better."

        Within a month, he noticed improved energy and well being, 
and within a year, he says he felt better than he had for a decade. Mr. Moreland followed the full regimen for three years, and today, nine years since 
his diagnosis, he remains in excellent health. He also has two healthy children, 
currently, aged four and six; this is unusual, since MOPP chemotherapy causes 
sterility in a majority of male patients. Despite his abbreviated courses of both 
chemotherapy and radiation, I  believe Mr. Moreland is a relatively simple case to 
evaluate. Although there are, in the medical literature, several documented instances of

patients with advanced Hodgkin's enjoying prolonged survival after incomplete 
treatment with MOPP, such cases are extremely rare. While he did undergo 
radiotherapy, all of it was directed to his chest and upper abdomen. His extensive 
lower abdominal and pelvic tumors were never irradiated. In summary, Mr. Moreland suffered Stage IIIB Hodgkin's disease, treated with 
partial courses of chemotherapy and radiation. When first seen by Dr. Kelley, he was 
clinically debilitated and not, according to his doctors, in remission; it seems 
reasonable to attribute this patient's prolonged survival and current good health to his 
nutritional protocol. Scott Stirling
Mr. Stirling is a 53-year-old Canadian, alive 27 years since developing Hodgkin's 
disease. In January of 1  971, Mr. Stirling noticed a swelling on the left side of his neck. He consulted his local physician who believed the lesion to be a benign cyst, and no 
additional evaluation was recommended. Over the following year, the swelling fluctuated in size. Finally, when his neck 
enlarged dramatically in June of 1972, Mr. Stirling returned to his doctor, and was 
admitted to Reddy Memorial Hospital in Toronto.
Mr. Moreland was initially treated with a six-month, six-cycle MOPP chemotherapy protocol. However, he experienced severe weakness, fatigue, and anorexia after the second course of treatment and refused further chemotherapy. He then began the Kelley program, which led to his recovery.
What was Mr. Moreland's initial treatment plan, and how did he respond to it?
Mrs. Nemethy received chemotherapy as part of her treatment plan, but she stopped it due to the severe side effects and instead started the Kelley program. She reported feeling weak, depressed, and nauseous during the treatment. After switching to the Kelley program, she experienced a dramatic improvement in her health.
What was Mrs. Nemethy's experience with chemotherapy, and how did she respond to it?
Mrs. Wojt received chemotherapy as part of her treatment plan, but she refused to continue with it due to the severe side effects. She then began the Kelley program and reported a significant improvement in her health.
What was Mrs. Wojt's experience with chemotherapy, and how did she respond to it?
Mrs. Wojt was told that she would not live a year, but she refused to accept this prognosis and instead sought alternative treatment. She consulted with Dr. Kelley and began the Kelley program, which led to her recovery.
What was the prognosis given to Mrs. Wojt, and how did she respond to it?
Dr. Kelley emphasized the importance of patient education and empowerment, stating that patients should not rely solely on their doctors and should instead take an active role in their own treatment.
What was Dr. Kelley's advice to patients, and how did he approach his work?
