The Gerson Therapy, Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, D.P.M., 2001, 2006Supplementation with Pancreatin (Pages 192-193) |
Dr. Gerson wrote: "I found pancreatin (pure pancretic enzyme derived from crude pork pancreas extract from New Zealand) in many cases a valuable help in the therapy. A few patients cannot stand pancreatin; the majority are satisfied to have less digestive trouble with gas spasms and less difficulty in regaining weight and strength. We use the tablets after the detoxification; each contains five grains and is uncoated. The patient takes three or four tablets three times after meals, and later less."8
As Dr. Gerson did, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) physician Michael B. Schachter, M.D., of Suffern, New York, often prescribes oral pancreatic enzymes to be taken with meals to help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
They also serve a more cancer-specific function. When taken between meals, some of these enzymes are absorbed intact and can have systemic anti-inflammatory effect and a tendency to dissolve the protective coating around cancer cells.9
The pancreatic enzymes in pancreatin "digest away the protein coating which protects cancer cells from being destroyed by our immune system," explains CAM physician Robert C.Atkins, M.D., of New York City. In effect, pancreatic enzymes remove the "shield" that otherwise enables cancer cells to protect themselves. "It's facinating how many of the successful cancer programs that I have studied incorporate pancreatic enzymes," says Dr. Atkins.10

Pancreatin (Pages 146-147)
In lectures to medical consumers, Dr. Gerson explained, "Pancreatin (as an uncoated tablet) is given four times a day, three tablets each time. So they (the cancer patients) always have plenty of trypsin, pepsin, lipase, and diastase in their systems. The blood can carry this around and digest the tumor masses wherever they may be."18
In following the current Gerson Therapy protocol, the recommended dosage of pancreatin for debulking a malignant tumor usually is three 325-mg tablets four times a day. While a few people don't tolerate pancreatin well, most benefit, with less digestive trouble, gas spasms, and weakness. (It should not be given to sarcoma patients.) Encouraged for use is a pancreatin tablet made without cereal fillers that's manufactured by the Key Company of St. Louis, Missouri.
