Serrapeptase is able to digest and liquefy large amounts of scar tissue and also   more...has extremely strong anti-inflammatory properties, which may alleviate pressure induced by menstruation. Bromelain is another highly regarded enzyme which beaks down fibrin, releasing it into the bloodstream for excretion. Bromelain is extracted from pineapple stem and is commonly used as the main ingredient in meat tenderiser. Papain is extracted from the papaya fruit, which is also commercially used in tenderizing meats and other proteins. Papain blocks some inflammatory processes which also benefits sufferers from fibroids. All of these enzymes exert noticeably strong proteolytic (protein digesting) and anti-inflammatory properties.
These soften and liquefy scar tissue, transforming it back into soft circulating fibrin fragments, which are carried away in the bloodstream. Oral administration can enhance the fibrinolytic activity in the blood for long periods.  less

He had digestive problems so severe, he was wasting away at age six! Then she found out that her husband’s mother and two sisters all suffered from lactose intolerance. One sister-in-law told DeFelice, “Oh, yes, we can’t have any milk at all or it brings on terrible headaches and digestive problems.”This was a “Eureka!” moment that set Karen DeFelice on the path of enzyme therapy. Now she and both her sons depend on enzymes for health. You should take the hint and investigate whether enzyme deficiencies lurk beneath your medical problems.<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. The evidence is impressive.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

Many women suffer from the growth of uterine fibroids, benign tumors that develop   more...in the womb. This common problem is one of the most common causes of their having hysterectomies. But surgery can be avoided if the fibroids are reduced or dissolved. Removing these growths, which consist of a protein called fibrin, is one of the applications of enzymes.

Enzymes, of which the body makes a wide variety, are catalysts, causing actions of many kinds. Many are active in the digestive tract. Others reduce scar tissue and remove deposits in the blood vessels. Systemic enzymes can be taken by mouth as they are carried throughout the body and become active where they are needed.
Fibrinolytic (fibrin eating) enzymes and cofactors are selected to attack excess fibrin build-up, the main components of fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus. Correcting hormonal levels until they are in balance can significantly reduce the speed and intensity at which fibroids can grow. This allows the enzymes to soften, break-up and eventually dissolve abnormal tissue.
The female hormone estrogen stimulates tissue growth especially in the estrogen-sensitive reproductive organs. The other female hormone, progesterone, makes tissue more fertile and helps to control the effect of estrogen. When a woman’s estrogen and progesterone production are in balance, normal menstrual cycles continue until menopause. Imbalance in natural hormone levels, as well as exposure to hormone-like substances, from pharmaceuticals and the environment, can cause disturbance, which may trigger abnormal tissue growth. This can lead to the development of fibroids. Progesterone naturally diminishes with age and supplementing dietary components will restore hormonal equilibrium.  less

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com Not only is gluten found for sure in wheat, oats, rye and barley,   more...but similar protein structures also exist in corn, soy and yeast, and to top it all off, our own bodies may produce gluten-like proteins. 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. They can be sick for years on end, trekking from doctor to doctor, with no one able to figure out what’s wrong. That’s why many people who suffer food intolerances will find it easier AND more effective to supplement with enzymes.<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

Enzyme supplements can lend a big hand in digesting your food so that undigested or partially digested food doesn’t get dumped into your colon. 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. They found that it dramatically increased the absorption of many nutrients including selenium, zinc, and essential fatty acids.<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 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. Or we have no soap (that is, no enzymes), so we can rinse as long as we like but the dirt (the undigested food) stays right on the car.<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 You can think of your immune system’s response to an injury as a guest   more...who doesn’t know when it’s time to go. Proteolytic or protein-eating enzymes show him to the door. Protein-eating enzymes help end a prolonged, inappropriate immune response that causes redness, swelling and inflammation. In the worst case, long-term, chronic inflammation can permanently damage healthy bone or tissue.Your body produces its own enzymes if you’re healthy, but the research shows that supplementing with protein-eating enzymes speeds up healing, improves circulation and reduces inflammation.Long story short, enzyme supplements help wounds and injuries heal, and they perform the same service for the injuries and diseases you can’t see — such as inflamed joints, inflamed muscles, intestinal sores — even sinusitis and migraine headaches.<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 It’s a pity that enzymes have been so neglected. 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. There’s enough evidence now in the form of studies and anecdotal evidence from patients. Enzymes are foods (even the FDA agrees), they’re safe, they’re pretty cheap and the benefits can be enormous.<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 One of the most eye-opening books you’ll ever read is Enzymes for Digestive   more...Health and Nutritional Wealth, by Karen DeFelice. 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. Their behavior and learning problems improved more than they had ever experienced with any other therapy.<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

We also know for certain that inflammation is an immune system response.Plus, we know that inflammation figures in a long list of chronic diseases: both types of arthritis, colitis, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), pancreatitis and more. Now it’s even linked to heart disease.Inflammation — which causes pain — is one of the most common complaints associated with ANY disease. 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. In some tests enzymes outperformed prescription anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and they did so without the dangerous side effects of medications.We can learn a lot by taking a close look at what causes inflammation at the cellular level and how enzymes reduce it. In doing so, we’ll see how enzymes can bring symptomatic relief — and can actuall y cure the root causes of some diseases. Depending on the individual case, they achieve this by themselves or as an adjunct to other therapies .The next few posts go into some depth about how the immune system operates , andsome of it is speculative, that is, educated guesswork.<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 Celiac disease is a very acute, serious type of gluten intolerance.   more...It might be hereditary (somewhat like lactose intolerance), but it affects a fairly small number of people, probably fewer than 150,000 in the United States. When celiacs eat any food containing gluten, they damage the cells that line their small intestine. The reaction can lead to anorexia, vomiting, anemia and diarrhea.People who suffer from this extreme form of gluten intolerance can get relief from enzymes, but because we need to learn more, they’d be wise to avoid all foods containing gluten. Some celiacs still suffer symptoms even after they eliminate all offending foods.

<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/faq.html">Systemic Enzymes</a>http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com The lack of enzymes in our diet is a major cause of premature aging   more...and a whole variety of diseases including heart attacks and strokes. We need enzymes to help us convert food into healthy bone, blood and tissue. Try looking at it this way: If you don’t drink water, you’ll die of dehydration. But that doesn’t mean water is like a “drug” that cures dehydration. It’s a vital part of our bodies that we need to take in every day whether we’re healthy or not. Ditto with enzymes. Like minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and certain healthy fats,enzymes are indispensable foods. Much of the illness we suffer, including heart disease and cancer, is linked to our enzyme-deficient diets. Enzymes alone are not a cure or magic bullet. But they’re vital nutrients — neglected nutrients — that should probably be a part of any treatment plan for cancer, circulatory disease or arthritis.

<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. If you’ve got a health problem, you should see an appropriate health professional.

Discover   more...a surprising relationship between a lack of stomach acid and arthritis. Arthritis is another supposedly “normal” aging disease. A deficiency of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) and digestive enzymes is a major reason that older people are prone to mineral and vitamin deficiencies. It doesn’t matter how much of these nutrients is in the food they eat; they lack the means to break their food down into usable parts. You can eat a cooked diet that’s rich in minerals, vitamins and other nutrients — and still starve! Your diet won’t have the enzymes you need.

But nearly everything we eat is cooked and processed. It doesn’t take much heat to destroy enzymes — around 120º Fahrenheit will do the job. That’s not very hot — it’s not far above your body temperature, and it’s roughly the temperature of the hot water that comes out of your tap. Nearly everything we drink is pasteurized — milk, orange juice, indeed all juices including that pomegranate stuff that’s become so popular. The rich, natural enzyme nutrients are probably gone. And you might not think of bread, crackers and cereal as “cooked,” but they are. They’ve been processed at temperatures that destroy their enzyme content. It’s a wonder we’re as healthy as we are. And there’s a reason. Our bodies produce their own enzymes, and so to some extent we can make up for what’s missing in our diets. But there’s a limit to what our bodies can do without help. We eventually wear ourselves out trying to provide what nature would give us for free if we let it.<a href="http://www.takebackyourhealth.com/contact.html">Enzymes</a>  less

Those fed an enzyme-rich diet of raw meat and unpasteurized milk lived longer and were healthier than those fed cooked meat and pasteurized milk. Pasteurization is a heating process designed to destroy harmful bacteria in milk and juices. Unfortunately, it also destroys all enzymes.Dr. Pottinger discovered something else that’s really scary: Each succeeding generation of cats fed cooked foods was sicker than the one before.The second-generation cats developed the degenerative diseases in mid-life, at an earlier age than their parents. The third-generation cats actually developed them in youth and young adulthood. The grandchildren (or grand-kittens) were more likely to be born blind and weak and to die young. Some third generation cats were sterile and the fourth generation was even less healthy. The ever-growing medical problems included heart disease, cancer, kidney and thyroid disease, poor teeth, thin bones, lower sex drive, and infertility. What’s more, many of these “degenerate” cats had a bad disposition! They were too mean for their keepers to handle.

<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

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.
