Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi all I am a mercury toxic 38 yr old with MCS and extensive food allergies. The food allergies have improved slightly since I started chelating 2 years ago. I recently stopped chelating for a few months due to increased chemical senstivities. My fear is that my liver cannot handle the mercury and other metals coming out and is becoming increasingly overburdened. I have never really used heavy-duty enzymes except for some plant-based enzymes I used a year ago--I think the brand was Pioneer Wellness Digestive Enzymes. I have always been curious about Houston's enzymes but am so nervous to try them because I was once told that I was allergic to Aspergillus, and I believe that is what is used to create those enzymes. Can anyone recommend which ones I should try if I were going to experiment, and how I might determine if I have an allergy to the enzyme? They have several different kinds and I just don't know what to start with. I think that the enzymes are part of the missing link for my digestion and I am anxious to see some progress...it has been a while since I had some decent digestion... Thanks all, and happy new year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 , If you are concerned about Houston's product ingredients, you can try to speak to Devin Houston directly. Is he here or on the Autism Biomedical Discussion group, folks? I know he is a contributing member on , another group. Then, another way is to contact his website directly! I believe he has been happy to speak to people in the past. Pam > > Hi all > I am a mercury toxic 38 yr old with MCS and extensive food > allergies.

So far as I know, all plant-based enzymes are cultured on Aspergillus. The Aspergillus is purified out of the final enzyme product, and most people who are allergic to Aspergillus do just fine with enzymes, altho there are some who still have problems. > Can anyone recommend which ones I should try if I were going > to experiment, and how I might determine if I have an allergy to > the enzyme? I use HNI Zyme Prime and No-Fenol for myself, they work very well for me. http://www.houstonni.com/ It depends what foods you usually eat, which enzymes would work best for you.
