What on Earth are Enzymes?

What on Earth are Enzymes?
by: Dianne Ronnow

Enzymes are the workers in our body that make everything function, by enabling chemical reactions. All living cells contain enzymes. They are hard to visualize, since they are not something tangible, but our lives depend on them.

There are many kinds of enzymes, and they do everything from helping us breath to our start of life at conception. Eighty percent of our DNA code relates to enzymes. But the kind of enzymes discussed here relate to our digestion and the food we eat.

In the process of digestion, the digestive enzymes in our bodies break down food into tiny particles that are easily assimilated by the body into the blood stream. These are compounds that the body can use for fuel, growth and repair. One food may take hundreds of different types of enzymes for the body to digest.

Food is naturally filled with enzymes, called “food enzymes”, that help us to digest that food. The problem is that when we cook or process it, we kill those enzymes. Temperatures over 118 degrees will destroy the enzymes. A good example of this is pineapple, which has some very powerful digestive enzymes in it. These enzymes work so well that when added to gelatin (like Jell-O), the enzymes won’t allow the gelatin to thicken. So, the only kind of pineapple you can add to gelatin is canned pineapple, which has been cooked and processed so that all the enzymes have been destroyed. It is now safe to add to gelatin, but not as good for your body.

Our body can manufacture enzymes, called “digestive enzymes”, in pancreas. But when we eat a diet that is filled with mostly cooked and processed foods, depleted of enzymes, the pancreas is forced to work much harder than it was meant to, manufacturing the enzymes the body needs to digest these foods. So the pancreas ends up overworking, and the body spends much needed energy and resources on digestion instead of important things like boosting the immune system, growth, repairs in the body and fighting disease. Even worse, if the pancreas becomes so overworked that it shuts down, then bits of undigested food start floating around the body in the bloodstream, causing all kinds of trouble and illnesses.

The pancreas can be healed in time, with a diet filled with an abundance of enzymes. A diet that includes raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, as well as fermented and marinated foods, will help keep the pancreas from getting that bad to begin with, and will enable the body to spend it’s energy on more important processes like boosting the immune system and fighting disease. If your pancreas is overworked, enzyme supplementation may be a healthy and safe addition. Check with your health care provider, or naturopathic physician to be sure.

Food enzymes not only help with digestion, but also cleanse the body, breaking down allergens and environmental products that can potentially be harmful. This is why it is so vital that we eat a diet containing lots of fresh enzyme filled foods. Especially in the world we live in today, where we are surrounded by poisons and cancer causing agents. We need these wholesome foods now more than humans ever have in the past, to help our bodies stay disease free and functioning properly.

A word of warning: some people advocate eating a diet of all raw foods, but this may not be the best diet for everyone. An all-raw diet is often good short term for healing and fasting purposes, but some people have encountered health problems when staying on a raw diet long term. Truthfully, not all foods should be eaten raw. Some foods are digested better when cooked, such as starches like potatoes and grains. In the end, the goal of the Enzyme Health Diet Plan is to be healthy, not to eat 100% raw food.

Because people are different, they need different foods to fuel their bodies. Just as an all-raw diet may not work for some, heavy complex carb diets are not for everyone. Some people need more carbohydrates, some need more proteins and fats and some just need an equal mix of both of these things. If you don’t know what metabolism type you are, you need to listen to your body. What foods does it thrive on? If, after time, you still are having problems figuring it out, check our recommended books and resources page on our website, http://Enzyme-Health.com. There are some good books offered there by experts on the subject, that can help your figure out what type you are.

Testimonial: Cancelled Heart Bypass Operation!

Si Mr. Ricardo Rizalvo dati ay laging mataas ang blood pressure, laging nagkakaroon ng palpitation, kahirapan sa paghinga, panghihina ng katawan at pagkababa ng kaniyang timbang. Pinagbawalan siya ng mga doktor sa mga mabibigat na gawain, at minungkahi na sumailalim sa bypass operation sa dalawang (2) pagkakataon noong 1994 at noong 1997. Nagkaroon din siya ng Parkinson's Disease na dulot ng drug overdose.

Nang siya'y nagsimulang uminom ng BIO ENZYME PLUS ay naging normal na ang kaniyang blood pressure, at ang mga nararamdaman niya sa katawan ay nawala ng lahat.

[English Translation]
Mr. Ricardo Rizalvo used to always have high blood pressure, palpitation, difficulty in breathing, weakness of the body and low body weight. The doctor advised him to avoid heavy work and suggested that he undergo a heart bypass operation on two occasions in 1994 and 1997. He also had Parkinson's Disease that was caused by drug overdose.

When he started drinking BIO ENZYME PLUS, his blood pressure became normal and all of the previous symptoms that he was experiencing before went away.

Testimonial: Stroke Patient Survives!

Si Mr. Victor R. Garcia, 48 taong gulang ay na-stroke noong October 3, 2003. Ang findings ng mga doctor ay tatlong ugat daw ang pumutok sa kaniyang utak. Kung ating susuriin, siya ay dapat na magkaroon ng state na comatose ngunit siya ay gising. Hindi siya makatayo at makaupo. Ang sabi ng mga doctor ay walo (8) hanggang sampung (10) taon bago siya makakatayo o makakaupo kaya siya ay laging nasa wheelchair.

Ngunit sa isang (1) buwang pag-inom ng Bio Enzyme Plus ay nakalakad na sya, nakakaupo, at naaasikaso na niya ang kaniyang network sa Bio Enzyme Plus.

[English Translation]
Mr. Victor R. Garcia, 48, had a stroke on October 3, 2003. The doctors found 3 ruptured blood vessels in his brain. If we are to analyze his situation, he should already be comatose, but that is not the case. He could not stand and sit. The doctor said that it would take 8 to 10 years before he could stand or sit again, so he would be confined to a wheelchair.

However, after 1 month of taking BIO ENZYME PLUS he was able to walk again, he can sit and he's started taking care of his own network marketing BIO ENZYME PLUS.

The Wonder Fruit Juice!

100% pure fruit juice, it is a rich source of food nutrients.

Bio Enzyme Plus is taken as a food supplement. It contains no chemical additives and does not contain any type of preservatives whatsoever!

A general fact, all enzymes found in fruits and plants are harmless. When we fall ill or as we age, enzyme supply is depleted due to exhaustion of body cells. Hence the need for replenishment can be accomplished through a regular intake of Bio Enzyme Plus.

It was developed by a Filipino herbalist and approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD).

As mentioned, Bio Enzyme Plus, is considered as a pure natural health supplement and NOT a drug or traditional synthetic medicine. It is, essentially, a fruit juice that has a common compound and has the potential to manifest various beneficial applications for human health.

This is the main reason why a large number of those who have taken and are continuously taking Bio Enzyme Plus have already been cured of their respective illnesses. A number of members from the medical community have already known Bio Enzyme Plus for quite some time now but none of them have any working knowledge of the kind of sustenance and nourishment it provides to the human body.

Japan, the country with the most scientific data on hand, is the only country in the world that produces it in large quantities. Within a decade, over 10 million Japanese are regular users of enzyme supplements on a daily basis, prescribed by physicians.

In clinical trials, involving thousands of individuals, there has been no indications of any form of toxicity and has proven to be totally safe.

3 Step Function of Bio Enzyme Plus

1. Scavenge all typs of toxins.
2. Repair cell damage.
3. Healing process is enhanced.

What is Bio Enzyme Plus?

It is a blend of food enzymes derived from enzyme-rich fruits such as pineapple, carica papaya, grape, apple, guava and sugar cane extract.

These enzyme extracts are what is needed for the digestion, absorption function, repair and maintenance of our whole body. By supplying the needed enzymes, we normalize the functions of ALL our vital organs, resulting to more energetic, vibrant lifestyle less susceptible to infenctions, diseases such as colds, cough, allergies due to certain sensitivities to asthma, runny nose, watery eyes etc.

It is also a highly effective prevention measure against deadly diseases such as Cancer, Heart Disease, Asthma, Epilepsy, Tuberculosis, Hemorrhoids, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Diseases, AL's Disease, AIDS, Diabetes, Arthritis, Goiter, Hepatitis A to H, Ebola, Lupus, Attention Disorder, Hypertension, Kidney problems, Cataract, Myoma, Gout, Rheumatoid, Dengue, Eye problems, Stroke, Child Primary Complex, Obesity, Migraine, Cyst, Psoriasis, Asthmatic Skin, Fever, Flu, Baldness, Cough, Colds, Leukemia, Tonsilitis, Malaria, and Impotence.

Where do we get our Enzymes?

They are naturally present in all raw food and in our bodies.

Three (3) Groups of Enzymes:

Metabolic Enzymes - Enzymes produced by our bodies, which is utilized for function, repair, and maintenance of our organs, tissues and cells.

Digestive Enzymes - Enzymes produced by our bodies to aid us in digesting and absorbing the nutrients in the food we eat.

Food Enzymes - Enzymes found in our food which functions not only digestion but also in the repair and maintenance of our bodies. This is probably the richest source of vital enzymes needed for our total well being. Unfortunately, this rich source of enzymes are usually destroyed when we process our food (cooking, pasteurization, adding chemical preservatives).

Result: We now eat less or no enzyme contents in our food. With this, our bodies try to cope by supplying some of the lost enzymes which cause it to work double time. In effect, faster wear and tear, as well as, a large enzymes imbalance. And this, eventually leads to poor digestion, poor absorption of nutrients, failure in proper bodily functions, repair and maintenance of our vital organs, tissues and cells. This commonly leads to various diseases and in some unfortunate cases, death.

This problem has a permanent solution!

What are Enzymes?

"Any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalyst in specific biochemical reactions".

They are catalyzers, protein carriers with vital energy. Source of vital energy for various bodily functions:

CATALYZE - Speeds up chemical reactions between two chemicals
CATALYST - a substance that initiates or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected.

Basically, we cannot live without enzymes. That is an absolute fact!

• When we blink an eye, carry a heavy object, think for a solution to a problem, various types of enzymes are involved to achieve these.
• All our tissues and organs need enzymes to function.
• No cell would function without enzymes.
• The entire human body cannot function or be maintained and repaired without enzymes.

Crucial Information on Health

"Health is wealth" as the cliche goes, and this has even become more truthful these days because of the escalating cost of health care. Namely, hospital bills, vitamins and mineral supplements not to mention doctor's professional fees.

What makes this more costly is the fact that we are more susceptible to health problems due to the alarming rate of air and water pollution that we are constantly exposed. In addition to this, we commonly bombard ourselves with chemically laden food such as meat products saturated with antibiotics, growth hormones, vegetables and fruits grown with various chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Likewise, we are now consuming more processed food (eg. canned goods, cold cuts, instant meals etc.) which contain more chemical preservatives and less vital nutrients that our bodies much needed. Sadly, these may lead to untimely demise in some unfortunate cases.

The rate of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, have now risen to very alarming rates. Even minor health conditions such as skin problems, fatigue, migraine, insomnia, constipation, coughs, colds, allergies, arthritis, rheumatism and the like have spread dramatically over recent years. These health conditions attack all ages and all walks of life, rich and poor. It is because of this that people are now becoming more and more health conscious. People are starting to eat healthier and exercise more these days, as well as consume more food supplements. These food supplements are either chemical based or natural based which are known to contain various types of vitamins and minerals to counter the ongoing onslaught of health problems that are now plaguing society.

But what most people do not realize is that all these nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and health food cannot be fully absorbed by our bodies without enzymes.
