Use of Enzymes in prevention of allergies & candida

[Guest guest]

- i don't know *when* a person should really eat chocolate... even if

they're well... i mean - its a non-living food that will only hinder,,, not

*help* health... (i know that we 'crave' it tho...) I only say this if you

are using chocolate as a 'guideline' ... to your health improving?

anyway - i've been absolutely amazed in the last while what enzymes do with

allergies. It has literally blown my mind. I went to half.com and got some

books on enzymes a while ago and had some others already and I started

studying... then I 'applied' the knowledge by buying NESS enzymes - which

are very good (great reputation and many docs speak of them in these books)

and started to take them throughout the day. The FIRST thing was the

energy - my goodness!! - the energy, vitality that I felt from the first

" day " I took them was amazing...

then the allergies...WOW! Ok - here's a chapter called " the use of enzymes

in the prevention of allergies and candida " - its a bit long - but GREAT

reading...

" ...In natural therapeutics, all diseases are considered to be systematic

problems. This means that all body processes are involved. To bring about

favorable results, the whole body must be influenced in a positive

direction. In considering candida and allergies there are many similarities

between the two, both in cause and prevention. Basically the symptoms of

both maladies are caused by the body's attempt to resist the organisms or

toxins that tend to damage tissues and organs. This capacity is called

immunity. In this section I will discuss basic immune responses of these

conditions and how to aid the immune system in preventing such problems.

A major part of our immune system consists of several types of white blood

cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, T-Cells, B-Cells, and neutrophils.

T-Cells get their name because the thymus gland aids in theeir production.

B-Cells are named after tiny little sacs in the body called " bursa " where

they migrate to be processed until maturity. T and B=Cells are lymphocytes

but they differ slightly in their duties. T-Lymphocytes become sensitized

to specific toxins or antigens (substances that cause immune responses, such

as toxins, drugs, among a few) and attack them whenever they enter the body.

B-Lymphocytes produce antibodies which are molecules that react with certain

antigens in the body aiding in their destruction.

The white blood cells help to destroy antigens and other toxins by engulfing

them and digesting or partially destroying their substance making it easier

for the body to eliminate them. In most cases, they do this by secreting

enzymes that break down the antigens. As previously mentioned, different

research experiments that were performed by Dr. Willstatter as far back as

1929 proved that white blood cells contain eight different types of amylase,

protease, and lipase. He states that " white blood cells provide

transportation for enzymes throughout the body " .

Antigens, bacteria, yeast and other toxins enter the body through the

digestive tract. They leach onto food substances we ingest and then

multiply prolifically within the body of the immune system if it is not

strong and healthy enough to destroy them. Allergens (substances causing

the allergy) can also enter the body simply through the air that we breathe.

Most antigens, bacteria, viruses and yeasts are proteins. Often the toxins

that are causing allergies and infections are secreted by bacteria which

also contain protein substances. At this point it can be understood that

the body needs a tremendous supply of protease (protein digestive enzymes)

to counteract the constant bombardment fo these proteins to digest and

eliminate them. The digestion of protein is done by enzymes, not only in

the digestive tract, but in the bloodstream itself. Undigestive proteins

are often found in the bloodstream. If digestion is not properly

accomplished, undigested substances can be absorbed through the digestive

tract. Antigens that cause allergies attach themselves to these proteins in

the blood (antigen complex), deposit in the walls of tiny capilliaries and

secrete substances that cause inflammations which result in swellings,

sneezing, hayfever, hives, asthma, etc. In order for the body to rid itself

of the allergen it must be separated from the protein molecule. This is

accomplished by enzymes that digest the protein and release the allergen so

the body can eliminate it via the lymphatic system. This is why it is so

important to keep the lymphatic system clean. Echinacea is an herb that is

a specific lymphatic cleanser. It is also an excellent herb to use to

combat allergies in combination with enzymes because it stimulates the

production of white blood cells and is used to treat inflammations,

lymphatic swellings, and infections.

The importance of understanding why undigested proteins, bacteria and yeast

entering the blood via the intestinal wall have toxic effects on one's

system, cannot be stressed strongly enough. Their quick and proliferate

spreading often leaves the body with numerous symptoms and physical

indications. Candida Albicans, which lives practically everywhere in the

body, is an example of such a yeast. THeese yeasts live naturally in the

intestinal tract and vaginal areas of animals and human beings. They can

take over our whole body if the immunity is weakened. It is important to

realize that yeasts are also protein bodies, and can be digested by enzymes

if the body has a proper supply.

Candida can change form in the human intestines. It can remain in a

yeast-fungal form and enter the circulation or develop a root structure that

penetrates the intestines which creates a large enough opening for other

bacteria, antigens, and undigested protein to enter. These other substances

that enter are a major cause of allergies, anxiety, fatigue, digestive

disturbances, vaginitis, cystitis, menstrual problems, and migraine

headaches. This is the reason for the similar approach of treating both

candida and allergies.

Yeast and most antigens (being protein bodies) can be eliminated by

administering supplemental enzymes. This nourishes the white blood cells

which causes a direct improvement of the immune system. Some allergies are

not in themselves protein bodies. They attach to protein molecules and must

be split off from the molecule by proteolytic enzymes and then be eliminated

by the lymphatic system.

Undigested proteins that yeast and other allergens attach themselves to in

the circulation often enter through the digestive tract. One way to prevent

this is to take plant enzymes with meals to aid in the digestion of these

substances.

An effective approach to candida, allergies or any other systematic problem

is to take plant enzymes between meals and thereby help to increase the

enzyme activity through the whole body, and reestablish these levels both in

the digestive tract and the bloodstream. Again, simply eating larger

amounts of raw foods whicih have the enzymes still present, taking

supplemental enzymes, and additional using echinacea can help alleviate

problems of this type. Also, using lactobacillus acidophilus (or other

probiotics) will help check the spreading of yeast in the intestines and

also nourish the immune system. "
