THE HEALING POWER OF PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES

Introduction Proteolytic enzymes (or proteases) refer to the various enzymes that digest (break down into smaller units) protein. These enzymes include the pancreatic proteases chymotrypsin and trypsin, bromelain (pineapple enzyme), papain (papaya enzyme), fungal proteases, and Serratia peptidase (the “silk worm” enzyme). Preparations of proteolytic enzymes have been shown to be useful in the following situations: Cancer Digestion support Fibrocystic breast disease Food allergies Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) Hepatitis C Herpes zoster (shingles) Inflammation, sports injuries and trauma Pancreatic insufficiency Multiple sclerosis Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders Sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Proteolytic enzymes in cancer therapy Proteolytic enzymes have a long history of use in cancer treatment.

We increase prospects for abundant health! One of the center pieces in our “puzzle” is to correct an acidity pH balance (hydrogen potential) by feeding ourself more alkaline foods. Fortunately, […] Read More
