I am the last word.............last because I know a very little about Beard's

theory except I thought that the theory was only that the cancer cells are just

similar acting relating to the Pancreatic enzymes. His reasoning that the

enzymes should act the same way on cancer cells.

I'm sure someone that might know the answer will respond because I surely don't.

-I do not understand anything about trophoblast, but i know after

delivery (and after abortion) the uterine cavity is explored

and if it is not empty , the retained tissues are managed with

curettage
