Since I am familiar with Puritans Pride and personally would not use their

products I just want to mention to other members that you really need to

look at their added ingredients.

One example is the B complex drops have sorbitol ..which is a sugar. Lots

of fillers and binders in their products in general

Please be aware.

Elyse, if you take BlockBuster All Clear with meals the enzyme action

will help digest your food; the same product taken on an empty stomach

will absorb and unclog arteries, dissolve scar tissue and fibrosis and

reduce inflammation.

Here's the link again, thank you for asking

[Guest guest]

Duncan, could you send another type of link as to where to order the

BlockBuster All Clear? A phone number would be best for me because I

can seldom get my web tv to place an order on line and it is not good at

picking up a lot of different links. Would really appreciate it as I

would like to try this product. Can you replace ALL of your various

enzymes with this? I am also taking candex for the yeast, digest

gold, megazymes and super papaya enzyme plus.

Another question: the super papaya enzyme plus tastes so good to

me~~~like having candy mints after dinner LOL so I am suspicous of it as

being able to feed the candida? Should I be concerned about that?

Blockbuster ALl Clear:

http://www.goodhealth.nu/us/1400

Or call Good Health Naturally USA -

800 455 9155 and give them referrer ID# 1400

I think the product can probably replace what you're taking; check out

the product description on the detail page and see if it's what you

had in mind.

I ordered my Blockbuster All Clear today. What dosage do listmates recommend

for a relatively healthy person?

must be the yeast. I read that enzymes are good what do you feel

about this and if you do feel they are good what do you recommend?

Bee how do they work in helping us rid of yeast?

==>This is from my candida article under " Improve Digestion " :

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s32

" Most people with candida have digestive problems, including stomach

aches and upsets, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gas, bloating,

diarrhea, constipation, etc. While many candida programs recommend

cleansing or cleanses of the bowels and other organs in the body,

these treatments can be very harsh. Liver, kidney and gallbladder

cleanses dump too many toxins into the body at one time, which most

candida sufferers are too sick to handle. "

==>Improving digestion allows the digestive system to normalize,

strengthen and heal so it can reproduce friendly bacteria that have

been wiped out which allowed candida to overgrow in the first place.

==>Candida sufferers have low stomach acid therefore taking digestive

enzymes such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) is very important, along with

other things that improve digestion, i.e. ocean sea salt, good fats,

meats, eggs, sauerkraut or kimchi, lemon juice, etc. If there is

enough stomach acid mixed in the contents that come out of the

stomach, called chyme, it stimulates the production of digestive

enzymes in the first part of the small intestines, called the

duodenum.

==>For more information on digestion see:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu4_2_3.php

There is an article in that section on how to take Digestive Enzymes.

The best to you, Bee

[Guest guest]

Bee thank you so much. Now it all makes sense to me.

I have been curious about this too since diet changes may only get us so

far or even if they take us where we need to be we still may need them

on occasion. My specific questions are:

1) Where do you get them?

2) How do you know what " dose? "

3) What is in them?

I think that depends on the person. We went gfcf and I tried to then

go back to a more normal diet and use enzymes instead. In a few days

Grace started to regress and I had to go back to gfcf. I don't

know if that is what happens with many families but it is what

happened with ours.

Now I use enzymes for " cheating " . Going out to dinner and letting

her have mac n cheese, making an ice cream run, pizza night, etc. I

just have to make sure we don't do too much cheating or I start

getting bizarre diapers from her, odd behaviors and a loss of language.

To learn about enzymes I used the book Enzymes for Digestive Health

and Nutritional Wealth by DeFelice.

For Liz et al

We use Houston Enzymes...they even have SCD-diet safe versions --

Kirkmans Laboratories also makes some digestive enzymes.

FYI With the enzymes you will also have withdrawal symptoms as though

you had reduced or taken off completely casein-gluten.

We use the AFP-Peptizyde ones with my older son who, due to

hyperselectivity is still eating yogurt -- they help BUT not at 100%.

We had to take him off the enzymes twice since April to do some

intestinal function tests - and oh, my! what a nightmare for him and for

us without them! In his case, we know (and we've known for several

years by now) that we must take him completely off the yogurt and are

working in that direction this month (he won't eat a substitute and eats

little more at this point).

www.enzymestuff.com is a good starting place to read more about lots of

info on this subject.

[Guest guest]

Not sure I need them but so glad for the info if we do. I am not sure I

follow you about the withdrawal. Wouldn't that only happen if you were

still eating a food you had a sensitivity to and used the enzyme to cope?

I went to a nutrition seminar last weekend and while it was recommend " Nothing

from a cows udder " , the nutritionist did recommend raw goat's yogurt. He

indicated that it is digested differently from milk yogurt and the body can

tolerate it. Apparently it's quite healing for the gut so I may just give it a

shot if I can find some.... Would your son make the switch?

If you are talking to me...liz...can't say as I was too chicken. SCD

says make yogurt from it first as a primary gut healer. I was thinking

of trying that in the future.

We use the Houston enzymes and think they are great! Once we got the

dose right, my son potty trained for BM's overnight. Literally. And

he's never had an accident since then. We " self-prescribed " them, but

my pediatrician was willing to sign a note saying that they are

medically necessary so that the public school would give them to

for snack and lunchtimes. The two GIs we saw both said they

were " harmless " . If you want real, expert advice, a DAN doctor is the

one in the know. For your own information, check out the following:

www.enzymestuff.com

www.danasview.net

The book " Enzymes for Autism and Other Neurological Disorders " by

deFelice.

The listserv. Open to all, off topic questions

are welcomed, great, very active board.

Also, you can email me with specific questions.
