Janie--BURSITIS

September 2, 2004

Janie,

I had bursitis pretty bad in my hip a while back when diagnosed

w/ fibro. I started taking Wobenzym N and it went away fairly

quickly. It is a digestive enzyme that is supposed to be really good

for arthritic people and fibro. Hasn't done much for my aches in my

legs but then again I only take 4 a day, supposed to take 6 i guess

and adjust up during flares. BUT my hip problem is gone and that was

my only change I had done and it was within a week of starting.

Give it a shot, you have nothing to loose!!!

, thanks for the tip! I had never heard of Wobenzym N, so I

went to google to learn. I am impressed. I'll find the cheapest

source of it I can. Maybe my health food store has some.

Here is the info in case others are curious:

Product Description:

Nutritional support for the body's inflammatory repair mechanisms.

Developed almost 30 years ago by world renowned immunologist and

biochemist Dr. Karl Ransberger and Dr. Max Wolf of Germany,

Wobenzym™ from MUCOS™ GmbH & Co., is now recognized as the #1 oral

enzyme preparation in the world.

Because of its unique mode of action and biological effects,

Wobenzym N is effective for a broad range of applications.

Chemically, it is a combination of hydrolytic enzymes derived

naturally from plants and animals together with the non-enzymatic

component rutin. These various components enhance and compliment

each other in their biological activity within the body. This

combination has been scientifically proven to be more effective than

the individual components alone.

Many illnesses, and nearly all injuries can cause inflammation and

cellular damage in our bodies. Wobenzym N provides nutritional

support for the body's repair mechanisms. European studies have

shown that Wobenzym not only supports the body's natural repair

processes, but also appears to accelerate the process. Enzymes help

to restore and promote microcirculation and at the same time assist

the body in the removal of " fibrin mantles " at the various sites of

inflammation. In this way Wobenzym N supports normal inflammation

levels within the body.

Notes:

Wobenzym ™ N is a combination of the proteolytic, hydrolytic enzyme

group. These enzymes use water to bond and will only cleave to

specific essential amino acids. External conditions such as pH

level, temperature and even the type of solution have an influence

on the effectiveness and velocity (speed) of the enzymatic reaction

in the body. For this reason, Wobenzym™ N is enteric coated to

ensure its maximum absorption and effectiveness.

Recommended Use:

The average daily recommendation for consumption for general health

and well being is 3 tablets twice a day. Athletes or heavy stress on

the body may require 5 tablets three times a day. For severe

conditions, one may require 10 tablets three or four times daily.

Yes Janie, it is good stuff!!!! I have been on it for almost a year

and have showed it to all my dr's and they agree it is good stuff.

It even halps w/digestion and constipation, believe it or not!!!!!

You may find you have a lot of gas when starting out so start out

slow and work your way up!!!LOL!!! It can also give you loose stools

if you take too much too quick. Other than that it is great. It has

also helped out my reflux!!!! My health food store lady told me

about it. There is no cheap brand that I am aware of just those that

make it. Sometimes cheaper isn't necessarily better!!! My hip

problem is gone though and considering I could hardly walk and they

would lock up sometimes, that was a good thing!!!!
