Enzymes - Bannh

[Guest guest]

Amylase breaks down starch; invertase digests sugar products; lactase

digests milk sugar; cellulase and pectinase assists in the breakdown

of fiber; lipase breaks down fat; and protease, bromelain, and papain

breaks down protein.

 

An effective enzyme product will include enzymes with high activity

levels as well as a broad range of enzymes. For example, there are

numerous types of proteins found in foods; therefore an effective

enzyme product will include several types of protein-splitting enzymes.

 

I checked on the Swanson site for Webenzym, and I don't think they're

expensive at all - they are cheaper than the ones I use. The Wobenzym

costs about 15 cents each capsule, mine cost 25 cents each. But most

companies use fillers to make them cheap. Many companies build down

to a price, use cheap materials, and most company's enzymes don't even

work.

 

Enzyme effectiveness is best described in terms of activity, not

weight. Enzymatic activity is measured in Units according to

standardized assays, but there is no regulation stating how activity

levels must be reported on labels. Therefore, a listing of enzymes in

a weight measurement, such as milligrams (as on the Wobenzym label),

does not mean that the enzyme present is active. It just means that a

certain quantity is included in the product, but not that the enzyme

is effective. No enzyme manufacturer that has a " real " product uses

milligrams.

 

Wobenzym has only 6 enzymes - the one I take has 13. Plus, did you

read the " other ingredients " on the Wobenzym label? What is all that

junk in there???? I would never put that stuff in my body.

 

Plus - I don't see anything in the ingredients of Wobenzym that will

supply minerals. Enzymes need cofactors (which are often trace

minerals) to work. Otherwise, they just won't work. So there needs to

be a whole food added into the enzymes for the enzymes to be able to

work. The enzymes I use have blue green algae (a whole food) added in

to supply those needed minerals for the enzymes to work.

 

You need a wide range of enzymes to make sure everything gets

digested, not just a few things, and an enzyme product that will work

in a wide range of pH levels, from 2 to 12.

Hi Carol. Thanks for your reply. I don't take these for digestion

though. I take them on an empty stomach to clean dead cancer cells

from my body. I also take them for joint an muscle pain or the

imflamation that causes it.

I was referred to them from very reliable sources that have nothing

to gain, not that you do.

The enzymes that I need for that are trypsin and especially

chymotrypsin. The others I wasn't sure about. From what I'd read

from an earlier post about Vitalzym was that it had a more advanced

enzyme that was more effective than chymotrypsin called Serrapeptase.

From what I've read that Vitalzym retails for $159.00 for 450 pills.

I would be taking about 6 a day. Then you figure the trial I'm on

with Lugul's Iodine an all the complimentary vitamins,etc. that goes

with it. Not to mention the fish oil an Nician for cholestrol or the

med's an calcium, D3 an oh yes Boniva for Osteoprosis. To me these

are worth it but thats a lot of money on top of everything else. If

I'm going to spend that much I'd like to know its worth it.

The site you gave me I'm sure is good but I didn't see any with the

enzmes I need.

This is some of the information I had when I researched the Wobenzym

N. I looked into it from advice from leaders of my Amazon Cancer

group, an they had nothing to gain. They even lead me to a cheaper

supplier than Swannson.

The Pancreatic Enzymes

Generally, the first immunity system building product that is

mentioned in alternative cancer treatment circles are the pancreatic

enzymes: trypsin and chymotrypsin. That is interesting because these

enzymes do not build the immunity system, but they do " clear the way "

for the immunity system to do its job.

The pancreatic enzymes can also be purchased in supplement form. When

buying such a product, make sure it has high dosages of trypsin and

especially chymotrypsin.

Another proteolytic enzyme that has seen exceptional results in

treating cancer is bromelain. This enzyme comes from pineapples and

is a major ingredient in the Raw Food vegetable drink (which includes

whole pineapples). Bromelain can restore macrophage levels. This can

also be found in supplement form.

A fourth cancer-treating proteolytic enzyme is papain.

Chemotrypsin and trypsin are called " pancreatic proteolytic digestive

enzymes " (or types of proteases: protease is the general term for

enzymes that break down proteins) which means they are digestive

enzymes harvested usually from a pigs pancreas.

 

If that doesn't bother you, then keep taking what you're taking.

Personally, I wouldn't touch the stuff. Vegetarians would not take

them. And have you done research on that brand - where do the pigs

come from? How were they raised? Organically or full of toxins?

 

The enzyme brand I suggested contains 4 different kinds of proteases -

they are plant based enzymes; not harvested from animals pancreas'.

 

Any degenerative disease, including any form of cancer, occurs partly

due to a long term deficiency of adequate enzymes.

 

Everyone needs digestive enzymes to help digest our daily food, unless

you eat totally raw, and anyone with cancer definitely needs digestive

enzymes as well as using these same digestive enzymes inbetween meals

to clean up the debris in the blood and tissues.

HI,

About the protease, I was reading that often (not always) protease

and digestive enzymes can contain MSG. Does anyone know if there is

a way we can tell if that stuff ends up in what we are taking?

 

Is there a company/brand that is MSG free or with this type of

product do you just have to take it and see if you develope an issue

like migraines from it?

 

Thank you.
