Who was William Donald Kelley?

William Donald Kelley, DDS, MS was an orthodontist who developed the Kelley cancer therapy, an ineffective alternative cancer treatment based on the unsubstantiated belief that "wrong foods [cause] malignancy to grow, while proper foods [allow] natural body defenses to work".

Kelley received no training in oncology; according to Quackwatch his ideas are "largely speculative and invalid". Not only is his therapy ineffective, but people with cancer who take it die more quickly and have a worse quality of life than those having standard treatment, and can suffer serious or fatal side-effects.
