Re: Viruses visited (again)

[Guest guest]

I'm interested too. I read over their site and...there are a lot of

words but it doesn't seem to be saying much. A LOT of important

information is missing. Is there additional information somewhere...are

lots of people in the other group seeing succuess with something in

particular? Just can't tell due to the lack of content. And generally

when people have solid science or information behind their products,

they are blabbing it all over the place.

Not nearly enough there to persuade me to part with my money. If you

find something else on this, please post it.

There are some pretty good studies about the ability of Houston Zyme

Prime to kill off or contain varicella viruses, as in shingles. But

Houston would never be able to claim this because it is a " food

supplement " and the FDA doesn't allow them to claim to treat or

prevent diseases, because of this. So I'm not sure what to say about

any of the others.

Peace,

Kathy, where could I find information on these? It's great to have as

much supporting evidence on enzymes as possible.

You are right about supplement vendors having certain restrictions.

When you are a company or employed by a company, you have certain

criteria that a non-company person does not. I used to wonder why all

the supplement labels in the natural food stores basically said nothing

about what it was for. Digestive enzymes are approved for digestive

problems though, but even that is rather vague.

, I think I was initially cued into this possibility by...your

book, which at the moment I can't put my hands on.And I believe it

said an enzyme preparation LIKE Houston Zyme Prime, not the brand

name. And I have been unable to get ahold of the original

scientific journal articles, one of which is in German. The two that

are cited most frequent are:

1. Billigmann P. Enzyme therapy—an alternative in treatment of herpes

zoster. A controlled study of 192 patients [translated from German].

Fortschr Med. 1995;113:43–48.

2. Kleine MW, Stauder GM, Beese EW. The intestinal absorption of

orally administered hydrolytic enzymes and their effects in the

treatment of acute herpes zoster as compared with those of oral

acyclovir therapy. Phytomedicine. 1995;2:7–15.

Sorry but I have to get ready to do a birthday party for Benny here

today, and since writing this e-mail and the one on interstitial

cystitis--I haven't even taken my morning medicine or fed the dogs

yet, got to go!
