Beard obtained his pancreas extract from calves, lambs and hogs. Given the technology they had in 1900, his extract contained impurities and foreign proteins. These caused allergic reactions in some patients, leaving Beard open to attack. Luckily for us, Beard fought back. He knew that most of his patients were in the terminal stages of cancer, and that every reasonable option was worth a try. In 1911, he published The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer and Its Scientific Basis, a landmark book packed with compelling proof. It features Beard’s results in treating 170 human cancer patients. In some advanced cases, thought to be incurable, cancer completely disappeared. Overall, Beard reported that more than half of his patients got better or completely well.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Probably not. You can comb the leading alternative health newsletters   more...and find almost nothing about enzymes as a cancer treatment OR as a supplement you can take to prevent cancer and other diseases. At most, America’s famous alternative doctors recommend enzymes to fight heart and artery disease (true) or pain and inflammation (also true) or as an aid to digestion (true in spades). But if you add up everything they’ve ever published about enzymes it wouldn’t take you three minutes to read it. They know very little about enzymes, mainly because most American alternative doctors don’t know beans about cancer. They stay miles away from it. Because a lot of the pioneering work in enzyme therapy has been done by cancer doctors, especially those in other countries, America’s best-known experts in alternative medicine have missed the enzyme story. I learned why enzymes are so important only because I set out to learn as much as possible about alternative cancer treatments.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Casein is another common food allergen that causes some people’s immune   more...systems to react. It’s a milk protein — meaning some people who suffer from milk intolerance might continue to do so even if they take lactase, the enzyme that digests the milk sugar lactose. Their problem is casein, so lactase doesn’t help at all. Fortunately, there are broad-spectrum enzyme supplements that digest casein, gluten, lactose and a wide range of other proteins, carbohydrates and fats that make up most of what we eat.If you’re pretty certain which foods upset your stomach you can exactly match the enzyme to the food. But if you’re not sure, a formula made up of different enzymes will probably nail the unknown food that’s making you sick.One of the beauties of enzymes is that the appropriate mixtures will break down ALL foods, not just the ones you think might be causing a reaction. If you just consider the case of gluten intolerance , you can see how important this is.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez got interested in enzyme therapy thanks to another   more...so-called crank, a dentist named William Kelley. Like Dr. Wolf at Columbia, but apparently on his own, Dr. Kelley came across Dr. Beard’s U.K. studies. During the 1960s Kelley began treating cancer patients with oral enzymes. In fact, Dr. Kelley claimed that he’d healed himself of pancreatic cancer with his own therapy. Kelley’s protocol also featured individualized diets, detoxifying procedures and other supplements besides enzymes. Nearly all cancer doctors who use enzymes do so as just one treatment among many, not as a magic bullet or cure-all. But Dr. Kelley believed that a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes was a fundamental cause of cancer, and that enzyme supplements should be part of the treatment. As a dentist, Dr. Kelley couldn’t legally treat cancer patients. That, plus his use of alternative therapies, meant he was practically walking around with a sign on his back that said, “kick me.” And they did.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Both Cichoke and DeFelice cite a German study involving 1004 rheumatic   more...patients and 141 doctors. If you know anything about the crippling pain of rheumatoid arthritis, then you have some idea of what these people must have suffered. Yet after enzyme therapy, from 76% to 96% “improved” or “considerably improved.” Most of the rest were “unchanged” and a mere 2% got worse. Only ten patients out of a thousand complained of side effects. (AC, page 172) In a smaller study of 42 rheumatoid arthritis patients, 26 got better with Wobenzym (62%). Thirteen experienced no change and only three deteriorated.In that study, it’s important to note that blood tests showed improvement in a key marker of inflammation called “circulating immune complexes,” or CICs. The patients who reported less pain were the ones whose blood tests showed their inflammation had indeed gone down.CICs figure big not only in arthritis but also in cancer and heart disease as well. The German studies cited by Cichoke show that enzyme therapy can reduce CIC values to normal within weeks. Altogether, he cites eight German studies on arthritis specifically and ten more studies (including one he conducted himself) on pain, sports injuries and inflammation.

But remember, we’re   more...just in the early stages of researching the thousands of wonderful nutrients in plants. The research has to be conducted with almost no money, and in the face of fierce hostility and ridicule from the medical establishment. We’ve only known about the power of antioxidants for around 25 years. The breakthrough book, Life Extension, was published only in 1982. What’s more, the authors were two mavericks from outside the medical establishment. Tens of million of people now take antioxidants and know what a free radical is, but many in the medical establishment still call it quackery. Or consider lycopene. This bioflavonoid found in tomatoes is now considered a powerful cancer-fighter, yet it was discovered just a few years ago. We know little or nothing about thousands of other nutrients.You can think of enzymes as the new antioxidants. As we learn more about enzymes’ benefits, more and more people will supplement with them. There will be more studies and we’ll learn much more about them. Better and more advanced products will come on the market.You can wait to learn more, but it hardly seems necessary.

Thanks to enzymes, she not only cured her own migraine problem but saw vast improvement in the behavior of her son who suffered from an autism-related disorder.In this Special Report, I’ll refer to her work often. When I do, the reference will be followed by her initials (KD). Karen DeFelice collected data in an Internet forum of 260 autistic children and their parents. These parents knew there was a connection between diet and autism. At one time, many of them drove themselves and their kids crazy with “elimination” diets. In one case a child was down to only five foods he could eat without having a reaction. Karen DeFelice saw the same kind of thing with her own children.You wouldn’t believe how miserable it is to try to stick to these elimination diets. As these parents discovered, most of the time the real underlying digestive problem still lingers on. Giving up all those tasty foods doesn’t make you well. Then these parents discovered enzymes. As you’ll see in Chapter Nine, the kids were able to eat almost anything without having a reaction.

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com In 1902, Dr. John Beard, a professor at the University of Edinburgh,   more...suggested that the enzymes we produce in our pancreas could be useful in fighting cancer. He was an expert on embryos, and he noticed that the placenta behaves very much like a cancer tumor. The placenta is the organ that forms soon after conception, attaches itself to the wall of the mother’s uterus and, through the umbilical cord, provides nutrients and oxygen to the developing baby. The main difference between the placenta and a tumor is that something turns off the placenta’s cancer-like invasion of the mother. In every species he studied, Beard noticed that the placenta’s uncontrolled growth stops at the same time the baby’s pancreas becomes active and starts secreting enzymes. He reasoned that the same enzymes might stop the growth of cancer cells. Beard tested his idea on mice with sarcoma, a type of cancer, and was able to confirm it: tumors shrank when he injected the mice with an enzyme-rich pancreatic extract. Under Beard’s direction, a number of doctors began treating human cancer patients with injections of pancreatic enzymes. They found the pancreatic extract inhibited the growth of cancer cells and that patients survived longer. They published their findings in some of the leading medical journals of the day, including the British Medical Journal and the Journal of the American Medical Association.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Good inflammation is a key part of healing. The redness and swelling   more...around a wound are an immune system response — inflammation. The fever we get from a viral infection is an immune system response — inflammation. It’s how our bodies kill the invaders. The problem is that inflammation is supposed to solve the problem and then go away. When associated with diseases like allergies and rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation is chronic i.e. long-term, and usually harmful. Our immune system attacks and destroys our own tissues.The defining fact about the immune system is that it usually can tell the difference between self and non-self. The immune system attacks foreign matter — the non-self. It literally eats it and even carries away the waste.Meanwhile, our immune system does NOT attack our own cells because almost every cell in our own bodies carries a marker that identifies it as self. When our immune system starts attacking the self, it’s bad news. When a particle of non-self invades the body, it’s called an antigen. An antigen can be a virus, a fungus, a bacterium, a parasite, a tissue transplant from another person — your immune system tags anything that’s not you as an antigen.The immune system forms antibodies to destroy the antigens. If the antigen is in fact something harmless such as pollen, dust, wheat or milk, we’re said to be allergic. Antigens of this type are also called allergens. There’s no reason for your immune system to attack allergens but it does anyway. <a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

It’s part of a healthy immune response, but also a sign that something’s wrong.When inflammation is linked to a chronic disease — when inflammation rages unchecked in the joints or arteries, for example — it can permanently destroy tissue and cause terrible pain. It can even lead to death. Enzyme therapy can bring significant relief.

You see, most proteins, fats and carbohydrates are members of food families, so finding and eliminating all the possible offenders becomes a mad chase. It gets worse: sometimes the reaction to a food is delayed by hours or days. That makes it really hard to tell which food made you sick.And sometimes the effect is cumulative, so you can eat an offending food for several days with no problem, then suddenly get sick when you hit the tipping point. It’s very hard to identify food intolerances. Many people who have them don’t even know it.

Here’s what you want to aim for: eat good healthy food and digest it fully BEFORE it gets to your colon. Undigested food socks your health with a double whammy: it’s packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients you’re NOT getting because you’re not digesting properly. And when they’re dumped into your colon, those undigested nutrients DO feed the microbes that harm you.According to Health Sciences Institute, researchers at the Mayo Clinic tested a leading digestive enzyme supplement.

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Our gastrointestinal system (or G.I. tract for short) is a long, long   more...tube that starts with the mouth and ends with the anus. The moment we begin to chew a bite of food, enzymes in our saliva begin to digest it, and the process continues all the way to the end, with at least 22 digestive enzymes plus stomach acid and bacteria playing important roles. Some parts of this long path contain acids that actually destroy certain enzymes. Other parts of the G.I. tract are alkaline and thus are the only places where certain enzymes are active.The acid environment in our stomachs begins to break down our food in one way, then the food passes into our small intestine and new secretions neutralize the acid. In our small intestine the environment becomes alkaline and digestion continues with a whole new set of enzymes.It’s like an automatic car wash where the car is soaped in the first part of the tunnel, rinsed with clear water in the next part and waxed in the last. You don’t want wax in the first section, only in the last, and you don’t want to rinse the car before you soap it.But food-wise, that’s what many of us do: we put the wax before the soap, so to speak.

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Dr. Edward Howell spent a lifetime studying enzymes. His book, Food   more...Enzymes for Health and Longevity, lists more than 400 studies on the value of enzymes that were published between 1904 and 1938. His work was largely forgotten by our drug-obsessed medical culture.But he was rediscovered when doctors had to deal with AIDS and cancer and conventional medicine had no answers. Alternative doctors were forced to ransack the attic to find new solutions. The enzyme research of the early 20th century was one of the things they found.Now enzymes in one form or another are used by most alternative doctors who treat cancer. Quoted in the Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, Dr. Jack Taylor says, “Ideally, you want to make it unnecessary for the digestive system to have to produce so many digestive enzymes. If you assist in the process of digestion by providing food enzymes such as those found in papaya or pineapple, you can divert the body’s overall enzyme production so that it has a greater capacity to make and channel more metabolic enzymes to the site of malignancy and normalize its enzyme chemistry.”The papaya and pineapple enzymes Dr. Taylor refers to are papain and bromelain, respectively. You can buy them at almost any supplement shop or health food store and start taking them today. They’re almost totally safe — the only conceivable worry is for folks who have an ulcer or who already take blood-thinning medications (because the enzymes are natural blood thinners).Naturally, you shouldn’t self-treat for any medical condition you may have.
