Any thoughts on this...LaTonya I have been using an enyzme and probiotic for about 1.5 months and am satisfied with the results so far. Smoother intestinal tract operation is what I have noticed mostly and also more consistent elimination. Most of my digestive problems improved when I changed to a vegan and whole foods diet / lifestyle. The lifestyle change has been a key for me in addition to the cleansing. I have an information article with references on my web site. http://www.north-land.com/discovery/synergy5.htm Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 A real neat enzyme/anti inflammatory mix that is totally natural and has been used a very long time in Europe is called Wobenzym N.... They're manufactured by Wobe-Mucos of Germany - " they've been tested, researched and medically proven for over 40 years. Effective for sinus infection, traumatic injury, sports injury, arthritic and rheumatic pains, bacterial, fungal and viral infection, cardio-vascular obstruction and related ailments, edema, digestive problems as well as treatment of colds and flu. The enzymes in this preparation act as a " biological vacuum cleaner " eliminating impurities, foreign proteins and harmful micro-organisms from the blood stream and tissues. This greatly diminishes the inflammatory response and allows the normal immune functions to operate at a much healthier level " ... www.modernherbalist.com has these - but i have a much much much more cheaper site i get them at - www.immunesupport.com if anyone is interested in them.... Ingred.= Pancreatin 300mg, Papain 180 mg, Bromalain 135mg, Trypsin 72mg, Rutosid 150mg, Chymotrypsin 3mg... wendy Re: help swollen joints I am still reading my enzyme book and everyone on this list should be adding this into your diet. They are very important for the entire body to function. (little did I know) But there is an enzyme group that reduces inflammation call- Protease. The book gave examples of sport injury, and arthritis. And if you would like to use enzyme therapy to reduce inflammation then you would take your enzyme in between meels. If you need it form digestion, they you take it right before meal. I don't know the dosages for this use, still reading. But please scavange around for more information.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 here's some good info: Protease - digests protein. Not only protein from food, but also other organisms which are composed of protein, such as the protein coating on certain viruses, toxins from dead bacteria and other organisms and certain harmful substances produced at sites of injury or inflammation. Protease is esp. effective during inflammatory processes to control swelling, redness, heat, fever and pain. Due to its ability to bolster immunity, protease is an important line of defense in the immune system. Toxic colon syndrome - also called indicanuria or intestinal toxemia, is another result of protease deficiency and the inability to digest protein. Undigested protein decomposes at the intestinal level. The products of this putrefaction (called indican) leak into the blood from the intestines. From there, they reach the liver. The liver can detoxify only some of these products, and in doing so, becomes stressed. Those substances that cannot be processed are excreted through the urine. Indicanuria is identified by elevated levels of indican in the urine, as determined by a 24 hour urine analysis. Research has found that numerous inflammatory or pathological conditions can result from elevated indican. In fact, indicanuria can cause more than 100 symptoms or conditions. The following (all are associated with CFS) are among those which have been linked to high indican levels: fatigue, allergies, gastrointestinal problems, hypothyroidism, lack of concentration, memory loss, and sinusitis and sinus infections. Amylase - Digests Carbohydrates, breaking them down into smaller units which are later converted into monosaccharides (simple sugars) such as glucose and fructose. people who can't digest fats often eat large amounts of sugar and carbohydrates, to make up for the lack of fat in their diet. If their diet is excessive in carbohydrates, they can develop an amylase deficiency. Amylase is important in preventing the proliferation of dead leukocytes, or white blood cells, which manifests as pus. Amylase is used in combination with lipase, fatty acids, and herbs to reduce certain viral problems, including all types of herpes, and to remove the pus from inflamed areas. Additionally, amylase aids in clearing the lungs. LIPASE - this is the enzyme responsible for digesting fats. This includes fat in foods and the fat-based coatings of certain viruses - lipase can effectively destroy some viruses by digesting their outer coating. Certain viral infections may accompany a lipase deficiency, and are characterized by symptoms including fatigue, sore throat and swollen glands. People who are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome fall into this category. A prominent indicator of lipase deficiency is chronic fatigue syndrome or " hidden " viruses. A lipase-deficient person is also likely to have irritable bowel symptoms. Here is a classic case of Chronic Fatigue and lipase deficiency: A frail, 47 year old woman came to me with chronic fatigue, allergies and abdominal pain of 20 years duration. She had been to countless doctors and health clinics, all to no avail. She had been trying to gain weight for years, and she was so painfully thin and listless, I wondered how she mustered up enough energy to come to my office. Her diet was mainly liquified greens, sprouted seeds, salad, potatoes, yams, corn, fresh vegetables, and raw juices. Her tests indicated a toxic colon, poor digestion, and extreme lipase deficiency. When she started taking the high-lipase multiple-digestive formula, she began to gain weight and her abdominal pains diminished. (Dr. Lee, PHD) Cellulase - Cellulase digests fiber. It also " eats " pathogenic yeast, so candidiasis from a Candida overgrowth is often the result of inadequate " friendly " bowel bacteria coupled with a cellulase deficiency. Sudden, acute allergies can also be an outcome of cellulase deficiency. Candidiasis sets the stage for leaky gut syndrome which in turn can lead to the development of food allergies, as undigested food particles make their way into the bloodstream and trigger an immune response. Once these food particles have passed from the digestive system to the circulatory system, the brain no longer interprets them as " food " . Instead they are considered foreign substances which must be eliminated from the body. DISACCHARIDASE - Disaccharidases digest sugars. The sugar intolerance which results from a deficiency in these enzymes can lead to various health conditions. The inability to digest digest complex sugars (sucrose, lactose, and maltose) and convert them into the simple sugars (glucose and fructose) lowers the blood sugar level and starts starving the brain of nourishment. The end result can be a range of problems, including depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and even seizures. Disaccharidase deficiency is also associated with environmental illness, asthma and diarrhea. from Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Environmental Illness by Burton Goldberg Re: Re: Oxygen Cleansing Products Hi Rhonda, No c0-q-10 doesn't clean the bowel like homozon or others. It may increase oxygen, but it is incredibly mild compared to homozon. I have taken co=Q-10 for years and enjoy it but it cannot compare to homozon for boosting oxygen levels. And it doesn't clean the bowel like homozon. Also, wanted to mention on the allergy thing that I just recently discovered something that works amazingly. I live in Oregon on the coast and we have had an incredibly mild winter and lots of things just never stopped blooming and some things are blooming early, like scotch broom which surrounds my house. Because of that alot of people in this area, including me, are suffering horrendously early in the game. About two weeks ago I started having really bad hayfever, sneeziing terribly and runny nose and itchy eyes and not being able to sleep because I couldn't breath. I was griping and complaining to God and then I remembered a story I had heard years before about a young woman who had gone in for an interview for a job and there was a cat in the office and she started to have major allergic symptoms and the Dr. who was interviewing her gave her a bottle of amylase and told her to take the whole bottle. She did so and her symptoms left immediately and she did not have any allergy symptoms again for over a year and a half. WEll, all I had on hand were digestive enzymes that had some amylase in them along with protease and lipase and cellulase etc. And I took thirty, not all at once, but 4 or 6 at a time and I started to get relief immediately and kept taking them to really clean the thing up. In addition to the fact that all my severe symptoms left, I also was delighted to find I had amazing energy. The next day I took about 14 to stay symptom free, and the next day also. In the mean time I ordered pure amylase and started taking it, hopeing to lower my dose and get the same benefits. For the last two days I have been doing 6 amylase, three early and three late, and I also have taken digestive enzymes with my meals and it seems to be working. I am thrilled to be able to take something that totally eliminates my hayfever without any negative side effects. The brand I am using is by R Garden. Even tho it is multi level (which anyone who knows me knows I am not fond of, being polite here) their prices are good. You can buy in quantity (12) and get 40% off. They sell individual bottles of amylase for $13 plus $5 for postage. Or you can spend $5 to sign up for life and buy 12 and get them for $7.80 each. But, you might want to try a bottle from me ( I just ordered 12 with great zeal) for $11 plus $4 just to see if it works for you, first. In addition, digestive enzymes are wonderful for eating up parasites, dead or alive. A friend of mine got rid of a bad case of Giardia with enzymes only. Her doctor told her she was way to weak to do any heroic bowel cleansing and put her on enzymes instead. Something that some of you might consider. There are gentle and effective ways to clean the bowel that don't cause major digestive system stress that takes years to recover from. Inner Garden Flora, digestive enzymes, colostrum, parattack, and homozon are so non stressfull and yet so effective. I highly recommend them to those who want good results without alot of stress to their system. Hope this helps, Donna -Thanks everyone for the info on the oxygen cleansing products. I'm still not sure if I will buy that or co-enzyme Q10 for my allergies, which I read is really good and it also kills some parasites. I've heard it's pretty expensive though, so I'm still deciding. Does anyone know if Q10 also cleans the bowel like the oxygen products do?RhondaSubscription email: mailto:bowel cleanse-subscribe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Just throwing this question out for anyone's answers: Since I can't afford all the MLM products and other stuff offered online, I buy papaya enzymes over the counter. They seem to help. Three tablets give me 45 mg of pappaine, 6mg of amylase, and 6mg of protease. Is that enough to do any good or am I wasting my money? Thanks in advance, A.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 , over the counter enzymes work fine. My Doc first had me use bromalane enzymes to digest my protein. (sp?) I took them but they didn't work for me. So he wrote a prescription. You can take a good amount of these tablets safely. So if you feel the need to increase them with a meal then do so. I believe the papayan in your tablets is what digests the protein.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 As long as the enzymes are alive it's pretty hard to be throwing your money away in taking them. The only way you'd be throwing your money away is if you're taking more than is necessary. I personally take around two to four at a time of the brand that I have but when I use my really good stuff I only take one. Of my good stuff I only need one for most situations because they contain a lot of various enzymes. I had started taking enzymes after having had a live blood test that showed the platelets as stacking together. This was indicative of a problem of breaking down protein. Since starting with a regimen of taking them a few years ago I had noticed a change of my energy within a very short period of time.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 A related question: I'm in the very first stage in the program (diet + some vitamins) and enzimes help me a lot.

Step 1 is Eliminating Foods that Feed Candida, Step 2 is Building Up the Immune System, Step 3 is Antifungals and Step 4 is Probiotics. There are no steps for enzymes, however digestive enzymes are recommended for improving digestion. Most candida sufferers have low stomach acid. > I have been doing the first three for several weeks, > however, my symptoms were not digestion related (to the degree that I > paid any attention to my digestion before learning all I have, I did > not have any issues with it; no pain or bloating, regular BMs, etc). > Ive heard people talk about taking protease between meals to help kill > the yeast, and I know you just recently said no to cellulases (b/c of > the fiber)taken for the same reason.

If you do not have digestive problems you do not need to take them. Coconut oil, Pau D'Arco plus one antifungal is recommended for killing off candida, but not digestive enzymes - yes I think that is a marketing ploy. To see if you have low stomach acid see the test in the Digestion Folder. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
