Thanks, another ?

[Guest guest]

I wanted to thank everyone for answering my post about when to be able to

" ditch " the diet. Your knowledge is wonderful. I now have another question.....

I have posted soemthing similar before but would like to know more about what

the difference in the enzymes are.

I ordered AFP for my dd, she had a bad reaction to the Kirkman's and it was

thought to be bc of papian and bromelain (?), so I ordered the AFP. Is this

going to be enough? What do the two others work for? Also, how true is it that

enzymes " help with healing the gut " ?

TIA

Karyn,

Here is the link to Houston's enzymes products explanation. Maybe

it will give you the information you are looking for. You can check

in the files here as well

Dont throw away those enzymes I swore I would never give them to my

little one them again BUT... if your little one had a bad reaction

it because they are going through withdrawal... use a 1/4 or less

for a week I mix mine in a little honey and water and give with

eyedropper. Ann

The Zyme Prime is Houston's general all-purpose enzyme product. It

helps with everything except specifically casein. The Peptizyde is a

pure strong protease product...so it works just on proteins. The

Zyme Prime will work on some proteins (like in meat and egg), carbs,

sugars, fats, some fiber, etc. The No-Fenol is more of a specialty

product and helps specifically with hard to break down fibers (what

is also known as forage or roughage). There are different types of

fibers. Some are soluble, like in oats, and easy to break down. Some

is insoluble, like in a stalk of celery or peel of an apple, and

hard to break down. Humans do not produce the enzymes cellulase,

which is needed to break down cellulose. However yeast and bacteria

can feed on it great, and grow big and strong. That is why No-Fenol

enzymes help some people with yeast and bad bacteria problems.

Also, some people with autism conditions, SID, AD(H)D have problems

processing phenolic compounds. No-Fenol was developed specifically

for this need. I don't think anyone knows for sure how this works

exactly although there are some ideas. All is known is that is works

great in many of these cases.

I would say 'very true.' LOL

The reasons are basically as follows. There is research on these

points in the Files under Enzyme Research. I can send that to you if

you can't access it.

1. Proteases such as bromelain and papain are famous and well-

studied for their ability to reduce inflammation. Many people having

a leaky gut also have inflammation contributing to it. Research has

specifically shown that adding proteases to a diet can speed up

healing of a gastric ulcers.

2. A primary cause of leaky gut is overgrowth of bad bacteria,

and/or yeast such as Candida. Proteases and cellulase have been

shown to reduce these pathegens by 'digesting' their protective

coatings, and in the case of bacteria, digesting the bacteria

directly because they consist of protein. Another way enzymes fight

bacteria and yeast is by digesting food more completely so the Human

absorbs the nutrients and energy in food, leaving very little left

over for the bad guys to feed and grow on. This may cause some die-

off in the beginning. The pathogens die, the gut can heal.

3. Leaky gut can be caused by viruses. Proteases digest the virus

protective film. Research has shown that proteases are one of the

most effective treatments for viral diseases such as herpes, HIV,

stealth, and similar.

4. Enzymes (particularly the proteases AGAIN), clear out toxins and

waste products left in the gut by the pathogens, clear out

insufficiently digested stuff, and other indigestible chemicals.

Research shows that proteases are very effective in blood cleansing,

clearing out cancerous tumors, deposits in joints (fibromyalgia),

immune complexes deposited in other places in the body (MS,

arthritis). This strenghthens the immune system and relieves the

burden on the liver to detox the body. Because of this, the body has

more resources left to devote to gut healing.

5. Enzymes break down food particles so that when they enter the

intestines, the nutrients are ready to be absorbed...there is less

physical irritation on the gut lining. This reduces inflammation,

provides nutrients needed to repair the gut, and further alleviates

the possibility that insufficiently digested particules will get

into the bloodstream. Eliminating gunk in the bloodstream means it

doesn't need to be cleaned up (see #4 above).

6. There is research (in the Files) showing directly that

supplementing with digestive enzymes after gut surgury speeds up

recovery because the gut was able to recover/heal faster. Different

research done in dentistry shows that people recovered much more

quickly after oral surgury as well. Lots of research in sports

medicine shows that supplementing with enzymes directly speeded up

muscle and tissue injuries.

So enzymes end up facilitating gut healing proactively by an

assortment of proven mechanisms. I believe that is why taking

enzymes is producing many of these great results for a wide variety

of people. People are benefiting for many different reasons.
