J. William Kelly

J. William Kelly was a pioneering physician who researched cancer treatment in the mid-20th century. He is best known for developing the "metabolic therapy," which involves controlling a person's diet to limit sugar intake and boost other nutrients, aiming to "starve" cancer cells and support the body's natural defenses. Kelly believed that many cancers thrived on sugar, and his approach focused on nutritional strategies rather than traditional treatments like surgery or chemotherapy. His work contributed to alternative cancer therapies emphasizing the importance of diet and metabolism in disease management.
