Enzymes are important because they act as biological catalysts.
This means that they bring molecules together in such a way that
they can react. All of the reactions that they catalyze are
chemically possible (at least in theory) even in the absence of
enzymes. However, in the absence of enzymes, these reactions could
not occur fast enough to support life.

Enzymes are complex delicate molecules that help other chemical reactions take place. In other words, they make things happen but don't change themselves. {1} In chemistry, this is called a catalyst.

Enzymes either tear apart molecules (called hydrolase) or put them together (called conjugase).{2} Enzymes classified as Metabolic Enzymes help with tissues and organs in the body. They help run the heart, brain, lungs, and kidneys. Hundreds of metabolic enzymes are necessary to carry on the work of the body.{3} Digestive Enzymes help break food down into simple components.

Key digestive enzymes are Lapase, Amylase, Protease and Bromelain all of which are found in HTN's Assimilator product. Lapase is a fat digesting enzyme and helps reduce fats into fatty acids.{4} Amylase helps change carbohydrates into simple sugars. Protease breaks protein down into amino acids. When food is broken down into the fatty acids, sugars and amino acids, they are taken into the bloodstream in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Generally raw, fresh, ripe, uncooked foods contain the enzymes needed to digest that specific food. Any cooking of the food (above 118F) {5}will destroy the enzymes.

Major grocery stores try to keep fruits and vegetables from ripening too soon. Once they actually reach the store they may artificially "ripen" the produce so that it has the right color. But is it really ripe? Ever notice how a farmer's market smells with the real fresh produce? {6} Even frozen food may be dipped in hot water before freezing {7} which will destroy the enzymes.

As we have said, the digestive enzymes help to digest the food breaking it down but if the digestive enzymes get overwhelmed (say after a big meal) or as a result of an out of balance body chemistry the food will not be well digested. When this happens the food starts to putrefy (start to rot) in the gut irritating the lining of the intestinal tract causing the cells of the lining to widen. This is called "leaky gut syndrome." Undigested or partially digested food makes its way into the blood stream where it does not belong. These food particles are too large and cannot be used by the cells.{8} At this point the immune system sees these particles as invaders and starts attacking them. The result may be a food allergy, runny eyes, sneezes, headaches, or fatigue just to name a few symptoms. {9} If this happens often the immune system gets exhausted which is part of the degenerative disease process. {10}

"If you become nauseated when eating, have several food allergies, have heart burn, gas, bloating, belching, abdominal pain or cramps after eating or are often constipated these enzymes [amylase, protease, lipase which are found in Assimilator (an HTN Product), and papain ] may help restore good digestion. And, even if your diet is ideal, it can be wise to take enzymes when you are eating cooked food." {11}

Possible Cancer benefits.
In the 1920's German scientists "began injecting animal [cancer] tumors with pineapple juice extract, which contains the portelytic enzyme bromelain [found in Assimilator] and watched a measurable shrinkage or disappearance of many cancers in animals. "{12} "The function of proteolytic enzymes is to digest protein." Dr. Harold Manner relates this to cancer, "The cancer cell shields itself from anticancer agents [the immune system] by forming a fibrin coating around each individual cell; this fibrous coating is made of protein. Proteolytic enzymes [Bromelain] digests this protein coating, which allows the body's white cells to attack the cancer cells and destroy them." {13} If we constantly use all our protein digesting enzymes to breakdown food then there will be none left over to do other bodily functions such as helping the immune system find the cancer cells.

Thanks for sharing that and including the background on enzymes in your description.

Lots of love to you!

XOXOXO

Thank-you.

Lots of love to you, too.

Love this Video*****5/5

Great info here! I wanted to add that many people don't get amino acids from food because they don't have enough hydrochloric acid to digest and assimilate the protein and convert pepsinogen to pepsin. Also, many times when they show deficiencies in one amino acid with a reasonably healthy diet they should be on a multi amino acid not just those to manufacture neurotransmitters.

i tribute a big smile to study of doctor LINUS.

a big THANK YOU

Also, 1 capsule of enzyme...:-)

[prokopton]

Try this: 1) Take 1 capsule 250-600 mg Omega 3 fish oil and 1 capsule 500 mg L-tryptophan 1-2 hours before going to sleep.

2) In the morning, take 1 capsule 500 mg L-phenylaline, 1 capsule 400 - 600 mg vitamin C, 1 capsule 400-800 mg Ginkgo biloba.

Do this for about 2 weeks. You will feel a huge difference in your mental health. The above should cost about $100 - $200 for a 3 months supply. It's an investment in yourself.

You can purchase L-tryptophan online. I use the Doctor's Best L-tryptophan brand.

[prokopton]

A Rutgers Law Journal article observed, "Political pressures have played a role in the FDA's decision to ban L-tryptophan as well as its desire to increase its regulatory power over dietary supplements."

In 1989 or 1991?, the FDA banned L-tryptophan because of ONE bad batch from a a single manufacturer. L-tryptophan was used to treat depression before Prozac came along. Four days after the L-tryptophan ban, Prozac was introduced to the public. Coincidence? Most reporters didn't think so.

[GypsyArdor]

L-tryptophan, I believe, was banned for sale by the FDA quite some years ago. At one point it was considered good therapy to use tyrosine and tryptophan to regulate moods/energy, but then the FDA banned the tryptophan. Maybe it's available outside of the US, though?
