Yes

In my opinion, oral enzymes cannot cause viral die-off. I know some believe

that oral

enzymes may help " kill " virus particles, but I can't find any substantive

literature to defend

that position.

Some labs have taken virus particles, put then in a test tube, added proteases,

and noted

an effect on the virus, but that does not translate into an effect within the

body.

First off, viruses do their work in the blood stream and tissues, so the enzymes

would

have to be in same area to have an effect. While it has been demonstrated that

oral

enzymes can be absorbed from the gut at a very low percentage of the oral amount

taken,

their effect is limited because there are inhibitors that bind to the enzymes

eventually and

keep them from working. Secondly, the viruses do their work within cells: a

particle will

attach to a cell, inject its DNA into the cell, and use the cell's machinery to

generate more

copies of the virus, which then destroy the cell and are released into the

bloodstream.

Yes, viruses are proteins, but remember that the enzyme has to come into direct

contact

with the virus to have any effect. When one has a viral infection, there are

billions of viral

particles circulating and in cells. It would be very difficult to keep enough

enzyme in the

circulation long enough to be effective.

Remember that these enzymes do most of their work only in the gut, and they work

much

better on the denatured proteins found in foods than the proteins of " living "

cells or

organisms.

Viruses are not technically 'alive' and so they aren't able to really

be killed off like yeast, bacteria and parasites. Generally,

practitioners and researchers talk in terms of 'viral control'

or 'inactivation' meaning it is subdued and not increasing and

progressively wreaking your health.

Some of the research on enzymes helping with viral conditions is with

just the enzymes, and some is as an adjunct therapy. This means they

added in the enzymes with some other viral treatment underway (like

HIV treatment or cancer treatment). But the research is very

interesting especially the part about enzymes working with the immune

system.

Even if you don't think the enzymes are directly impacting the virus,

you might see the same result of 'take enzyme = virus is subdued' by

a different route:

You start enzymes ->

you get improved nutrition ->

there is less stress on the immune system ->

the immune system is much more effective controling the virus.
