RE: Vitalzym question

[Guest guest]

Roni,

I have RA and hypothyroidism. I started taking Vitalzym X back in January of

2005. Almost immediately, it drastically cut my inflammation to almost nothing.

Under the advice of my holistic doctor, Dr. Nusbaum of the Center for

Holistic Medicine in W. Bloomfield, MI, I took it three times a day with my

pregnenolone and thyroid medicine. I was told to take them 45 minutes outside of

food, (and drinks, vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.) When I add on Minocin, I

have to make that time frame 2 hours. [The Vitalzym X goes in and consumes the

inflammation. If you don't take it 45 minutes before or after food, then it will

just aid in digesting your food instead.] Where did you hear that it should not

be taken with medicine or supplements?

I have not had a problem with growths on my face, or anywhere else, due to the

Vitalzym X. But, then I don't have MCTD like the last person did. And, I have

never before heard of this possible side effect from Vitalzym X. I have however

had a form of acne near the location of usage of natural, trans-dermal

testosterone (hormone) cream.

Several months ago, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Thus, I think that the

finger-like celia in my stomach will not be working well for the next two to six

months, while my body restores itself, as I transition quickly into a

gluten-free diet. Thus, I think that my body is not absorbing food, supplements

or medicine as well as it will once I recover. All of this to say that in the

last few months I have had a recurrence of inflammation that I expect to go away

as my body heals.

Bottom Line: I highly recommend Vitalzym X as a tool to use to reduce

inflammation.

But, I also recommend:

* Getting a metal toxicity check-up. If positive for metals, then detox.

* Stay away from foods that you're allergic to, especially if you're not just

allergic, but intolerant. Consuming these foods will increase your inflammation.

* Choose your diet based on the glycemic index. See the book, " Inflammation

Nation " by Floyd H. Chilton, Ph.D.

* Take Vitalzym X outside of food, 3 times a day. Take 3 pills, 3 times a day.

If you still experience inflammation, increase by 1 pill every 2 weeks to a

maximum of 9 or 10 pills, 3 times a day. You're taking too many, if you

experience diarrhea.

I hope that helps.

I used Vitalzyme for several months - it did help me with pain and energy - had

to carry it w/me so I could take it.

but, I started noticing growths on my face - attributed it to my MCTD. Had a

facial in November and they told me the growths were from excess enzymes.

so stopped the Vitalzyme a month ago and all growths are gone - my energy is

lower but my pain level is ok.

rheumatic vitalzyme question

For those of you who are using Vitalzyme and having success with it...I have a

question for you.

In the past I had tried vitalzyme, but found it almost impossible to put into my

schedule. Since it needs to be taken on an empty stomach and the minocin and

thyroid medicine need to be taken on an empty stomach, and the vitalzyme should

not be taken with other supplements or medication.. ...

How do you manage to use this product? And are you finding it successful with

inflammation?

Thanks,

Roni
