Who Needs Enzymes?
Abstract from Chapter One of
The Enzyme
Cure

Ph.D.
Who needs enzymes?
Every body -- babies, children, adults and older people, as well as
your cat and your dog.
Why does every body need enzymes?
Because enzymes do the work required for all life processes.

They come alive or are activated in the presence of moisture
(water), the right temperature (your body temperature) and the right amount of
acid or alkalinity.
Each activated enzyme does work of a very specific kind.

In other words, each enzyme has a job to do.
It may be digestion of a certain kind of food.
It may be the manufacture of a hormone.
It may be keeping your blood clean and free of toxins.

Your life, vitality and your health depend upon an adequate supply
of enzymes.
Enzymes can be divided into three major categories: metabolic
enzymes, pancreatic enzymes and food or plant enzymes.
Metabolic enzymes: Hundreds of thousands of metabolic
enzymes are made by the human body and are responsible for running its
chemistry. These enzymes are involved in all physiological processes including
breathing, thinking, talking, moving, behaving and immunity.
Pancreatic enzymes: In addition to metabolic enzymes, the
pancreas secretes about 22 pancreatic enzymes, including amylase, lipase and
proteolytic enzymes, which continue the work of digesting food in the small
intestine after plant enzymes have begun the digestive process in the stomach.


Plant (food) enzymes: These are essential to the proper
digestion of food. Present in all raw foods and as supplements, plant enzymes
include protease (digests protein), amylase (digests carbohydrates), lipase
(digests fat), disaccharidases (digest sugars) and cellulase (digests soluble
fiber). Unlike pancreatic enzymes, plant enzymes work in the mouth and the
stomach where they predigest foods. This is the secret of predigesting foods in
the stomach with plant enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes work in the small intestine,
not the stomach. Both plant and pancreatic enzymes work in the blood.

Using supplemental plant enzymes in addition to eating certain raw
foods spares the pancreas from having to do 100% of digestion.

This is why I use plant instead of pancreatic enzymes.

If you take plant enzymes with food and /or eat certain raw foods,
these enzymes will predigest up to 60% of the carbohydrates, up to 30% of the
protein and up to 10% of the fat in 30 to 60 minutes, before hydrochloric acid
is secreted and before pancreatic enzymes have been released to the small
intestines.
If you take enzymes on an empty stomach, they enter into the
bloodstream and go to work there.
Like little PAC men, these enzymes assist the immune system by
digesting and disposing of toxins (any substance that does not belong in the
blood) and eating (digesting) the coating of certain viruses, enabling immune
system workers to then destroy them.
Taking enzymes in this way can help reverse inflammatory conditions.

Each type of enzyme has a specific anti-inflammatory action.

Since plant enzymes digest toxins rather than killing them off as
antibiotics do in the case of bacteria, this process causes no side effects if
the digested toxins can be properly eliminated through the urinary tract, skin,
colon and lungs.
Enzymes are much more heat-sensitive than vitamins and are the first
to be destroyed during cooking, pasteurization, canning, microwaving or heating
above 118 degrees F.
You can swallow pounds of vitamins and minerals, but without
enzymes, nothing works and you are wasting your money.
Since whatever you do not digest becomes a poison, there is an
enzyme link to most health problems.
The Enzyme Cure presents 50 case histories describing 36 health
conditions.
A partial list includes:

Digestive disorders - poor digestion/allergies

Children's health problems

The Pro-thyroid diet and hormonal balancing

Female problems (PMS, menopause, infertility, menstrual
irregularities, etc.)

Male problems (benign prostatic hypertrophy)

Stomach problems (gastritis, ulcers, acid
reflux)

Asthma, Bronchitis

Constipation, Diarrhea

Headaches

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Headaches

Gallbladder problems

Injuries (bruises, sprains, broken bones, tendonitis, disc
problems)Insomnia
Here are some examples:

Infant colic, sometimes accompanied by projectile vomiting can be
supported with a multiple digestive enzyme called Thera-zyme DGST (digest).


Thera-zyme Kdy is a primary allergy relief formula whether the
allergen is dust, flowers, animals, air pollution or food. If more help is
needed, DERM-H3 provides enzymatic antihistamine support. DERM-H3 is also
excellent for skin manifestations (hives, herpes, rashes, bug bites, bee stings,
poison oak/ivy and the itching that sometimes accompanies these conditions).


Chronic diarrhea can be supported with an enzyme/herbal formula
called IrB (irritable bowel).

Chronic constipation can be supported with an enzyme/herbal formula
called Thera-zyme LgI (large intestine).

Stomach problems can be relieved with an enzyme/herbal formula,
Thera-zyme Stm (stomach) in addition to avoiding gastric irritants.


Thera-zyme TRMA (trauma) provides healing nutritional support of
injury or of soft tissue trauma following surgery

Thera-zyme Rsp provides nutritional support in people who may have
lung problems such as coughing or wheezing.

Thera-zyme Para is an enzymatic calcium formula that provides
nutritional relief of calcium deficiency that may cause nocturnal leg cramps or
a nocturnal cough.

Thera-zyme Sym nutritionally supports the upper cervical vertebrae
and helps hold chiropractic adjustments. Upper cervical problems can cause a
variety of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, indigestion,
constipation and more.
