Enzyme Therapy

Enzymes are proteins. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body. Without them many important processes of life could not happen. They are very specific in the functions. Each enzyme has only one reaction that it can help. The shape of the enzyme is what determines its function. As with any protein high temperatures and extreme acid in the body denature them or change their shape so the enzyme becomes useless and cannot do its function. Enzymes need the co enzymes of minerals and vitamins in order to function.

There are thousands of chemical reactions in the body so there are thousands of different types of enzymes to help these out. But basically there are only three types of enzymes. Metabolic enzymes that would assist the chemical reactions, digestive enzymes, which we mostly think about, that assist us with our digestion of food, and food enzymes which come inside the raw food itself. This is why eating raw food is so much healthier then eating cooked food because the enzymes that come with that food to assist it to break down in the body have been destroyed in the cooking.

Some of the metabolic process of enzymes would be adding oxygen to a molecule, breaking bonds between sugars to make simple sugars, changing sugars or fats into proteins or vice versa, adding nutrients to a cell, taking wastes and acids from a cell, making energy, burning energy , cutting up mucous, dissolving inflammation., etc.

Digestive enzymes are as follows: Proteases which break down protein, lipases which break down fat and amylase and a lot more different enzymes to break down sugars and plant fibers. There are enzymes that break down milk and even an enzyme in the body to break down butter!

There are some biochemists that don't believe that enzyme therapy will work since they believe that the enzymes will be destroyed in the stomach acid that is meant to break down enzymes. However from experience of using Enzyme therapy I know that it works. I believe that these enzymes must not be destroyed by the normal acidity of the stomach.

So what specifically do the Young Living Enzymes do?

Allerzyme: has a lot of enzymes in it that digest proteins. One of the causes of allergies is too many proteins in the blood. I would take Allerzyme with a meal to assist in digestion of proteins and between meals so it can get in the blood and also work in the liver to assist with digestion of free floating proteins. Take this one between meals to assist the body to digest the calcium deposits that are on the veins and arteries or bones.

Carbozyme: digest sugars. Take with a meal high in carbohydrates. Use if you have diabetes with a meal and between meals to digest the free floating sugars in the blood.

Detoxzyme: helps to digest toxins in the body. I would take this one with meals and then between meals if you are feeling very toxic. When I wrote my book we didn't have Essentialzyme (which I will talk about in a minute,) it was being reformulated so we had to substitute Detoxzyme. So change the instructionsin my book to using Detoxzyme between meals and using Essentialzyme between meals.

Essentialzyme: meant to digest the mucoid plague. Take this one between meals. This one may also help the body to reduce inflammation.

Lipase: specific for digesting fat. Take this one with a meal to digest the fats in the meal but if you want to lose weight or digest the fats in the liver from a fatty liver or even clean out the fatty plaque in the veins and arteries then take it between meals.

Polyzyme: Poly means many. It is a combination of all of the above. I would take it with meals for digestion.

Sulferzyme is full of co-enzymes to assist the enzymes of the body to work.

 

Not a YL product: Wobenzym N. is to assist the body in cutting down inflammation of the body. Take between meals. It is supposed to reduce C-reactive protein which is a factor in autoimmune diseases such as lupus and RA and also in congestive heart failure and other heart diseases.
