The following information is based on the work of William Donald Kelley, who first proposed that cancer occurs in a state of autonomic imbalance and that each of the two extremes, whether it is a sympathetic dominant individual or the parasympathetic dominant individual, would be predisposed to contracting certain malignancies based upon that imbalance. Kelley passed his teachings down to Dr Nicholas Gonzalez, who continued Kelley’s work of healing cancer with diet, supplements and detoxing therapies.
The Autonomic Nervous System
The nerves of the autonomic nervous system are composed of two branches: the parasympathetic and the sympathetic, and each regulates a different set of organs and functions within the body.
The two branches also act as a control mechanism for the other, but when one half of the nervous system exerts too much dominance over the other, then some organs begin to function too quickly while others function too slowly, and this creates imbalance and dis-ease within the body.
The sympathetic system- controls the release of hormones from the thyroid, adrenals, and pituitary gland, and it also controls the fight-or-flight response which directs the blood flow away from the organs to the muscles as the body readies itself to fight off danger.
It is a catabolic response, meaning that it is associated with the breaking down of the tissues and the burning up of the nutrients and hormones. When this is the dominant response of the body, the acid levels increase and the nutritional stores are burned up. Some symptoms that a sympathetic dominant individual suffers from include: decreased saliva production along with weak stomach acids which makes for poor digestion and a failure to obtain all available nutrients from your meals. This person also experiences a chronic anxious state which translates into emotional stress, nervousness, anxiety, impatience, emotional outbursts, constipation, increased heart rate, night sweats, muscle tension, adrenal fatigue, increased rates of infection, increased inflammation, and autoimmune diseases when the body begins to attack itself. The sympathetic system can also be overstimulated by the consumption of caffeine, sugar, and with the use of certain medications.
The parasympathetic system – controls the digestion of food and the assimilation of nutrients throughout the body as well as the elimination of waste products. It is an anabolic response that is associated with the general repair and rebuilding processes that normally occurs when the body is in a state of rest.
The parasympathetic dominant individual also has an unbalanced system as these people will generally have much stronger stomach acids and therefore they digest their meals very quickly. This person may have hyperactive bowels that includes occasional diarrhea, is somewhat overweight, has low blood pressure, low blood sugar, and low libido due to lower levels of sexual hormones. This person may also exhibit an overactive gag reflex, mild incontinence, poor quality sleep, headaches, dizziness, decreased metabolism, allergies, asthma, and may suffer from occasional feelings of despair and apathy.
Kelley created individual diet and supplement plans to address these imbalances and found that when individuals began to eat the diet that was appropriate for them, their rate of digestion would normalize and the two systems would begin to work in balance once again.
Interestingly, these two systems also control the acid/alkaline balance as well. This is because the sympathetic nervous system is predominately acidic, while the parasympathetic nervous system is predominately alkaline. When they are working in tandem, they create a balanced pH cellular environment, but when one system is dominant over the other this will create either an overly alkaline or an overly acidic cellular environment, and either will create a diseased state within the body.
When digestion was improved for the sympathetic dominant individuals, the acidic waste levels would drop and this would create pH balance in the body. Additionally, when the parasympathetic individuals began to eat an appropriate diet for their metabolism this would normalize the endocrine glands and balance the hormones.
Kelley devised a self-test to see if a person was sympathetic dominant, parasympathetic dominant, or had a balanced metabolism: this can be administered by swallowing 50 mg of Niacin on an empty stomach (note: this is not niacinamide or the slow release, or the no-flush kind of niacin). This test is effective because the niacin will be broken down quickly by the strong stomach acids of the parasympathetic individuals to produce the flushing and redness, while those with a sympathetic dominant system and slower digestion issues will not have this same result. If within a half an hour of taking the niacin your cheeks are red and your skin feels hot and itchy, then you fall into the parasympathetic dominant category, If you feel slightly warmer and have a better color in your face, then you have a balanced metabolism and can eat a varied diet generally without any issues. If you don’t feel anything from this test, then you may have slower digestion of a sympathetic dominant person with more of a grain-eating/vegetarian metabolism.
The flushing feeling can feel a little uncomfortable but it will go away within 10 minutes to an hour without lasting effects, just continue drinking fluids to clear the niacin from your system.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic dominance
According to Kelley’s research and that of Dr Nicholas Gonzalez, the development of solid tumors would tend to occur in those with an overly dominant sympathetic system (catabolic, overly-acidic cellular environment). These include solid tumors of the breast, lung, stomach, pancreas, colon, liver, thyroid, uterus, cervix , ovary, prostate, testes, as well as all skin cancers.
As discussed above, the sympathetic dominant individuals have less effective stomach acids and therefore they digest their meals very slowly. They also fail to obtain optimal nutrients from those meals because of their poor digestion capabilities. Because this process is so much slower than their counterparts, they do not tolerate red or fatty meats or other foods that slow down their lagging digestion even further as this makes them feel physically unwell. These people tend to thrive on lighter foods that their body can easily digest and assimilate such as fruits, vegetables and grains.
This person should also take their time to chew their food well as this is an important first step in the digestive process. Since their imbalance is overly acidic, they will need a mostly plant-based diet that consists of unlimited amounts of raw and lightly cooked vegetables, juicing fresh vegetables, fruits, green smoothies, a variety of nuts and seeds, unprocessed whole grains, and can include some easily digested proteins such as organic eggs, wild-caught fish, and bone broth a couple of times per week. When this persons digestion normalizes due to the easier diet selections then the two systems will become balanced.
According to the research of Kelley and Gonzalez, the development of immune system cancers would tend to occur in those with an overly dominant parasympathetic system (anabolic, overly-alkaline cellular environment). These cancers include myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.
These people tend to have very strong stomach acids and therefore they will digest their foods very quickly. Thy don’t feel well when they eat a meal that consists of mostly vegetables, fruits, and grains and they generally require some amount of animal proteins in order to feel satisfied and function optimally. Furthermore, since their imbalance is overly-alkaline, they should not use an overly alkaline therapy such as sodium bicarbonate, drinking highly alkaline water, or cesium chloride as these may worsen their situation. People with these types of cancers tend to do better when they follow a diet that is more balanced and can include some clean animal proteins (this can include grass-fed beef, venison, bison, chicken, turkey, eggs, and wild-caught fish). They can eat moderate amounts of healthy fats along with fresh or cooked vegetables, fresh vegetable juices, some fruits, fresh fruit smoothies, along with nuts and seeds. This diet does not include grains or dairy, with the exception of butter being listed as an acceptable fat. When this person is able to slow down their overly fast digestive processes by eating a more appropriate diet, then the two systems will become balanced. You can read more about pH and how to test it with this post.
More on the specific diet plans:
- Fresh vegetables- some cancer-fighters include bok choy, broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, collard greens, green beans, kale, leeks, onion, peppers, radish, scallions, mustard greens, Swiss chard, leafy greens, tomatoes, summer squash, mushrooms, sprouts, etc. Vegetables can be eaten raw or lightly steamed depending on how well the person tolerates them.
- Juicing fresh vegetables is a major part of the diet plans.
- Raw fruits –if you are excluding fruit from your diet you are missing out on an abundance of antioxidants, flavonoids, and anthocyanins that can prevent an reverse cellular damage and reduce overall inflammation. Some powerful fruits to include in your diet are: blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, pomegranates, cantaloupe, apples, pineapples, lemons, limes, grapefruits and oranges. Fruits are very easily digested, therefore they should be eaten separately, or at least 1/2 hour before your main meals or they can easily be blended with leafy greens into smoothies. Read more about smoothies.
- Complex carbs can include sweet potatoes and yams with the skins, adzuki beans, and lentils (red, green, yellow, black and brown).

Hormonal cancers of the breast, ovary, cervix, and uterus- are most often due to hormonal imbalances. When someone has a hormonal cancer they should have a hormone panel done and then use that information to get your hormones balanced. Hormonal cancers are generally fueled by protein and fats so this diet will limit their consumption for this reason. The recommended diet for this cancer would include lots of raw or lightly cooked vegetables, juicing fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, making fresh fruit/green smoothies, raw nuts and seeds.

Thyroid cancer- When one has an iodine deficiency, one of the first problems to occur is the formation of cysts within the thyroid, breasts, ovaries, uterus, and prostate. If the deficiency goes on longer these cysts will become nodular and hard. If this continues, it will become hyper-plastic tissue, which is cancer. This healing diet would include lots of raw or lightly cooked vegetables, juicing fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, making fresh fruit/green smoothies, raw nuts and seeds.

Lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, and soft tissue sarcomas- are the result of having a damaged immune system, possibly from having a chronic infection such as viral, bacterial, parasitic, or fungal (candida), or from heavy metal toxicity (this can be from having mercury amalgam fillings or from other sources), or it can be due to chronic exposure to pesticides/ herbicides, having a gluten sensitivity or some other type of food intolerance, or from having an unaddressed dental issue (more commonly an infected root canal, or another type of dental or other bodily infection). You will need to clean up the external and internal environments that caused the immune system to overreact in the first place and then deal with any pathogenic issues.
*Lymphomas- are cancers of the lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are the white blood cells that circulate in the lymphatic fluid and determine the specific response of the immune system related to infection, gluten sensitivity or another food intolerance, bacteria, virus, or other toxin as listed above. Also, this is an alkaline-based cancer, meaning that this person should not use an overly-alkaline therapy such as highly alkaline water, sodium bicarbonate, or cesium chloride as these may worsen their situation.
- People with these types of cancers tend to do better when they follow a diet that is more balanced, so it can include clean animal proteins (this can include grass-fed beef, venison, and bison, along with organic chicken, wild-caught fish, and organic eggs), moderate amounts of healthy fats (acceptable fats include unrefined coconut oil, organic butter, and ghee for cooking purposes, and olive, and avocado for cold uses) MTC and flax oil for supplementing.

- Herbs that specifically stimulate the lymphatic system include: Cleavers Leaf and calendula officinalis (marigold) tea.
- This person should implement some detoxing therapies.
- This person would benefit from coffee enemas to clear toxins from the liver and colon.
- This person would also benefit from doing remedies and exercises that target and cleanse the lymphatic system such as jumping on a mini trampoline. You can read more about the lymphatic system with this post.
- This person should soak in an apple cider vinegar/clay bath at least twice each week to help pull toxins from the body. Mix one cup of organic apple cider with 1 cup bentonite clay to form a paste and then add to a warm bath and soak for 30 minutes. During times of intense toxicity, this bath can be done daily.
*Leukemia -is a progressive malignant disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce an increased number of immature or abnormal leukocytes (white blood cells). This overproduction of white blood cells suppresses the production of normal blood cells which leads to anemia and other symptoms. When someone has leukemia, the body has increased the white blood cell count in order to address a toxicity or an underlying infection issue, but when the immune system is unable to overcome the problem, the immune system gets out of control and creates more and more white blood cells. In order to address this cancer you must figure out what has overstimulated the immune system in the first place and then deal with that issue. Also, this is an alkaline-based cancer, meaning that this person should not use an overly-alkaline therapy such as highly alkaline water, sodium bicarbonate, or cesium chloride as these may worsen their situation.

*Myeloma -is a cancer that develops in the plasma cells of the bone marrow. Plasma cells make the antibodies which are blood proteins that are produced in response to a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood, so finding out what triggered this system to go haywire and addressing that issue would be the first step toward healing. Also, this is an alkaline-based cancer, meaning that this person should not use an overly-alkaline therapy such as highly alkaline water, sodium bicarbonate, or cesium chloride as these may worsen their situation.

Brain cancers– can occur when the cells of the brain become inflamed due to toxicity, radiation exposure, or even from a damaged gut lining. Find a naturopathic doctor and have them run a toxicity panel so that you can find out your specific toxicity issues so you can address them. This can include viral, bacterial, or heavy metal toxicity. Also check for any food intolerance by doing an elimination diet and then take steps to repair and replenish the beneficial bacteria of the gut. You can find a gut healing diet on this website.
