I think for some of us this is all quite overwhelming - nowhere else I've been looks into things as deeply as this list does and a lot of posts here go over our heads for quite a while, while we slowly catch up, and it can be slow because sometimes we are so stressed with what is going on that we may not take in much but you give valuable input to this list and are certainly not ignored. Also, any new people onlist won't have heard it before and so there will always be people asking these things because more people are learning about enzymes and trying them all the time. I think for myself, I do what I can cope with at the time.I may be told of other things but I can only cope with so much at any one time so some things have to wait until I can work them in and cope with the extra. I know I'm not the only person who values your input on here. I'm glad you had a nice break. regards Julea ) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG so it wasn't me !

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 in reality any 'progress' has some very rough edges and i don't think people like the rough turmoil of having viewpoints and ideas turned upside down all the time. however defeat to victory to defeat, that cycle progresses like nothing else course you have to be on the edge to do that. > >>very simple things ignored like enzymes in capsules are a waste of > time > > I don't think many of us are ignoring you, .

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Hi , why do you say enzymes in capsules are a waste of time..I must be missing something there..

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 My highly sensitive son as well as my highly sensitive self have always been fine taking capsules - and this is without the 20-30 minutes wait. That time period came about because some other people DID find it made a huge difference - the difference in success and failure. Then a few other found they only saw positive results by taking the enzymes out of the capsule. So there is not any one way only to do this, just try different ways until you find the best for you. Taking them out of capsule ensures the enzymes are in contact with the food, and that might be best for some. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 well at least you ask instead of being busy telling me how wrong i am. ignore the rabble. the problem is that enzymes are themselves protiens. so when you get the enzymes wet together if there are proteases in the enzyme which there are in zyme and pep but not no fenol then they will work on themselves. so you can take no fenol in a capsule no problem(it also has cellulases which will work on the capsule itself) but enzymes with proteases are very sensitive to being contained in the presence of moisture which cellulose capsules being slow to dissolve do. gelatin is better but still not perfect. what is perfect is to sprinkle the enzyems on the food it is designed for as it is being eaten cuase then the enzymes bed into the food and are protected as they go inot the stomach. if you do this you will get very effcient enzyme function which was why i raised the question of how where the enzymes being given with that mom who had used pep and zyme without nay results. this is not theoredical but my and others experience. that one can have any other opinion can only be from not using the enzymes themsleves or you would know the difference. you can practically replace stomach digestion with enzymes used this way. this little gem btw took me a while to pick up in earlier days and some saying cpasules are ok now where posting about how necessary it was to sprinkle but memeories are short these days apparently. this is also the reason no fenol is best taken maybe half an hour after a meal, so it is not dissolved by pep and zyme or kirkmans complete if you are using that. > > > >>very simple things ignored like enzymes in capsules are a waste > of > > > time > > > > > > I don't think many of us are ignoring you, .

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 please don't interpret this as arguing because I'm not... I'm just reading something in your message that has me a bit confused. You said that when the enzymes get wet, then they start working on themselves, however, isn't there moisture on most food surfaces? Even a hot temperature would imply some degree of steam is going on. So are you only sprinkling enzymes on totally dry, room temperature foods? Otherwise, I would think that if sprinkled on hot/moist foods, then the enzymes are wet and with kids and the way they sometimes are so pokey with eating, it could be at least fifteen minutes into the meal before most of the food is eaten, giving plenty of time for the enzymes to be working " on themselves " ... or is that the whole idea-- that you want the food to be hot/moist to get the enzymes activated? I'm confused. You know more about enzymes than I do--can you explain this further?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 in a capsule they are in a compact compressed mass. so its a question of degree even with sprinkling you can never get entirely away from the problem but its a lot less and with a bit of art you can get quite good spacing. see the enzymes are working on food in preference to 'working on themselves', they have a coiled structure and will take to other protein surfaces before themselves. if they are packed together they have no option but to work on themsleves. mostly moist food. doesn't want to be too hot. if the food is left to long it gets too mushy from the enzymes, in fact the food might have to be eaten quite soon from putting the enzymes on which is proably why its better for the kids to sprinkle if they can manage it. > > > so when you get the enzymes wet together if there are proteases > in the > > enzyme which there are in zyme and pep but not no fenol then they > > will work on themselves. > > > > so you can take no fenol in a capsule no problem(it also has > > cellulases which will work on the capsule itself) > > > > but enzymes with proteases are very sensitive to being contained in > > the presence of moisture which cellulose capsules being slow to > > dissolve do. gelatin is better but still not perfect. > > > > what is perfect is to sprinkle the enzyems on the food it is > designed > > for as it is being eaten cuase then the enzymes bed into the food > and > > are protected as they go inot the stomach. > > > > if you do this you will get very effcient enzyme function which was > > why i raised the question of how where the enzymes being given with > > that mom who had used pep and zyme without nay results. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I'm one of the newly arrived so have patience with me. I'm reading this thread trying to understand -- is the point to have the food be more highly digestible so person has easier time getting nutrition? or do the enzymes do other thing in the body and food is the vehicle to get them there? or something else entirely? Thanks. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
