The beginning of disease is inadequate digestive powers.

When we allow the body’s engine of health — our digestive system to become and remain less efficient — this is what starts the process of disease. Henry David Thoreau once said for “every thousand hacking at the leaves of a problem there is one getting at the roots.” This is a product that gets at the roots of our health.

Enzymes are the bio-catalysts that cause chemical reactions to happen. We have over 7,000 enzymatic reactions in our bodies. Without enzymes, we would be stone cold dead! Enzymes are essential for vitamins and minerals to work.

The lack of enzymes is the trigger to aging. The body makes a finite amount of enzymes in a lifetime. Whenever we eat cooked foods instead of raw foods, we use up some of those finite amounts of enzymes. From this we discover two important concepts:

1. Eating raw foods (which contain the necessary digestive enzymes) preserves our enzymes.
2. Supplementing with enzymes can be essential for those who eat cooked foods.

With today’s emphasis on cooked and processed foods, by the time you reach your late twenties, you are in enzyme trouble:

Most people, by the time they have reached their late twenties, have largely used up their supply of enzymes and the body drastically slows the release of its protein-cutting enzymes (the most important ones), and begins to dole them out with an eyedropper instead of a tablespoon as it does when there is no perceived shortage of enzymes. But, as the body’s enzyme capacity nears its end, every year the body produces less and less enzymes in order to stretch life out a little further. And, with fewer enzymes to process food the more our food remains partially digested and therefore either unusable or TOXIC.

Enzymes are responsible for hundreds of things, but the most important actions are (in addition to processing food into useable nutrients):

• Defense against inflammation. When you were a kid, you shrugged off injuries that now would lay you up for a week
• Enzymes control the rate and accuracy of healing. Again, think of your speed healing when you were a kid. Think of the wounds that healed when you were a kid, with their thin, strong pliable, almost invisible scars. Now, think of your thick, knotty, scar tissue from wounds of later years.
• Protein cutting enzymes eat away at fibroids helping to prevent or dramatically lessen such things as Fibrocystic Breast Disease, uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
• Enzymes clean away the protein coating that otherwise builds on protein tissue under the skin (polymerization). This is what prevents wrinkles. So, how do you know if you have too few enzymes? Why you’ll have wrinkles!
• Enzymes regulate immune function—preventing it from other under-acting or over-acting. If the system is run-down, enzymes will increase the cleaning/killing action of the white blood cells on bugs and increase the production of Natural Killer cells. If the immune system is running too high and creating auto immune conditions such as MS, Lupus, Rhematoid Arthritis, etc., then the enzymes will downshift the immune system, control inflammation and eat the antibodies that the immune system is creating to attack its own tissue!
• Protein-cutting enzymes clean the blood of all the debris the liver can’t manage to clear out of the blood onthe “first pass”.
• Enzymes strengthen blood vessel walls and open micro circulation passages clogged with fibrin, improving circulation overall.

"You are what you assimilate"

It's not what we eat that makes us what we are, but what nutrients eventually end up in our bloodstream in a usable form.

And, on the opposite end of this equation, partially digested foods often end up in our bloodstream as a result of inadequate digestion. These cannot be used for creating energy, supporting cellular function or building tissues, but instead are toxins that are implicated in many disease processes.

Everyone needs enzymes today!

With advancing years, poor nutrition and environmental stressors, our body's enzymes are quickly depleted or lose their ability to function.  Over-cooking and the use of highly processed foods destroy the naturally occurring enzymes found in raw foods. In other words, our bodies are attempting to function at optimal levels with sub-optimal levels of critically necessary digestive and systemic enzymes. Research suggests that everyone, regardless of age, should supplement the enzymes lost in cooked and processed food.

Healthcare providers who understand the importance of proper digestion will always recommend digestive enzyme therapy.

Our product has been created in partnership with the leading enzyme formulation company in America, National Enzyme Company (NEC). This entirely unique enzyme formula is a comprehensive blend of seventeen very different enzymes specific to varying pH's, temperatures, substrates, and levels of activity, making it the most effective digestive and enzyme-cleansing product available in the market place today.

Intestinal Cleanser

Partially digested protein accumulates on the inside of the intestines and putrefies, partially digested carbohydrates ferment, and partially digested fats turn rancid. It's not too difficult to imagine the combined effects of putrefaction, fermentation, and rancid fats within the body. CleansingEnzymes will help rid the body of the toxic accumulation of undigested food, as well as supporting the body in the elimination of waste products of normal body metabolism and environmental toxins. Cleansing Enzymes will also cleanse the bowel of putrefying bacteria, parasites, and yeast growths, which flourish when improperly digested proteins and sugars accumulate within the bowel.

Blood Cleanser and Builder

Keeping the blood free of the accumulation of internal and external, or environmental toxins is a critical part of the elimination process. It is vital that impurities found in the blood and our organs continually filter out the impurities found in our food, water, and air supply. The primary cleansing organ is our liver. Phytochemicals found in Cleansing Enzymes have been researched and found to support the liver's ability to breakdown and eliminate these poisons.

It has been noted by researchers and healthcare providers that when incompletely digested foods and food toxins enter the bloodstream, the body mounts an immune response and increases the production of white blood cells. This condition is often referred to as digestive leukocytosis. Whenever white blood cells are produced as a result of insufficient enzymes, it can tax the body's immune system to the point where eventually the body may have difficulty defending itself. Cleansing Enzymes will help to relieve the stress on and support the normalization of our immune system.

Symptoms related to accumulation of environmental and internal toxins include:

Headaches Muscle pain Fatigue Mental confusion Emotional upset Poor coordination Skin rashes Neurological problems Visual disturbances Memory loss "Flu-like" symptoms Mucous membrane irritation Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

Antioxidant and Cell Builder

Cleansing Enzymes contains a rich source of plant nutrients known as flavonoids, which function as antioxidants for protection against cellular damage. These same flavonoids promote the binding of protein links within cell membranes to help decrease inflammation and support healing processes. They also help normalize the cell membrane permeability allowing oxygen, glucose, and important nutrients to enter the cell while allowing carbon dioxide and cellular wastes to exit. These cellular wastes, along with toxins that enter the body through our digestive tract, are then transported to the liver.

The liver is responsible for breaking down these chemicals into water-soluble, harmless waste materials that are then transported to the kidneys or into the bile to be released into the small intestines. Oftentimes, the liver is either over-loaded with toxic substances or is genetically predisposed to having difficulties completely breaking down these potentially dangerous substances. In cases such as the above, these toxins are only partially broken down and they become even more dangerous substances and function as powerful free radicals, which eventually do further damage throughout the body. Cleansing Enzymes contains well-researched plant nutrients that function as powerful antioxidants to help reduce the damage of these partially-broken down toxins, as well as nutrients which on a daily basis help support the liver to rid the body of these disease causing poisons.

Tables of symptoms that can be assisted with digestive enzymes:

Some of the Enzymes in Cleansing Enzymes are:

• Protease - three types that work in varying stomach acid conditions to break down protein.
• Papain - breaks down protein
• Bromelain - breaks down protein
• Amylase - breaks down carbohydrates, starches and sugars.
• Amyloglucosidase - breaks down starch "-1,4 and –1,6 glucan bonds" (goes one step beyond Amylase). 
• Lipase - breaks down fats (triglycerides and other lipids) and oils. Useful in aiding in weight control, maintaining and enhancing cardiovascular health, and helping maintain proper gall bladder function.
• Lactase - aids in the digestion of lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose that is found in milk sugars. Useful for individuals suffering from lactose intolerance. 
• Cellulase - increases the availability of anthocyanidins, powerful antioxidants from grapes and other berries. Cellulase breaks down fiber, helping to solubilize nutrients from fruits and vegetables. (the body does not make cellulase, cellulase is very important because of all the processed foods)
• Hemicellulase - is a group of enzymes that hydrolyzes the complex polysaccharides known as hemicellulose. Hemicellulose is highly viscous (sticky) compounds that bind digestive enzymes and decrease the rate of nutrient assimilation. Hemicellulase increases protein absorption from various grains.
• Malt Diatase - breaks down malt and grain sugars. Breaks down complex and simple sugars.
• Invertase - breaks down simple sugars
• Alpha Galactosidase - breaks down of raffinose, stachyose and melibiose. Helps to prevent gas, bloating and pressure caused by many healthful foods (broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions, peppers, corn, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, beans, peas and more).
• Phytase: Breaks down phosphate and digests phytate. Phytate is a mineral-binding agent that reduces the bioavailability of certain minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. When cooked grains are eaten, almost none of the phytate is degraded. Results from research by Ann-Sofie Sandberg of Goteborg University in Sweden, indicate that dietary phytase is critical for human digestion of phytate.
• Pepsidase - provides fibrinolytic, anti-edemic, and anti-inflammatory activity. This enzyme, which is found in the intestines of silk worms, has been used in Europe and Japan to open clogged arteries supplying blood to the brain. Clinical trials have found it particularly beneficial for relieving post-surgical swelling, sports trauma inflammation, fibrocystic breast disease, and upper respiratory tract conditions.

Testimonials, Stories & Frequently Asked Questions about Cleansing Enzymes

William Wong, N.D., Ph.D. says, “Three years ago, I was working with a fibromyalgia/
lower back patient... she had been debilitated by fibromyalgia... for 20 years prior this 40’s something gal had been an executive for a well-known cosmetics company... I had her start taking system enzymes... to relieve the inflammation and to eat away at the fibrosis of her fibromyalgia...

Three months went by with this determined gal exercising hard, getting stronger, raising her energy levels... One day, she bounces into the office and announces that not only is her back and fibromyalgia pain mostly gone but a great many of her spider veins had disappeared and her varicose veins no longer hurt!. It had to be... she said either the exercise or the enzymes because nothing else was different in her life or daily routine!

... We discocvered it was mostly enzymes that were doing the trick.”

Numerous European studies show that various enzyme blends are effective in accelerating recovery from exercise and injuries in sportsmen as well as tissue repair in patients following surgery. In one study of footballers suffering from ankle injuries, protein cutting enzymes accelerated healing and got players back on the field about 50% faster than athletes assigned to receive a placebo tablet.

Dr. William R. Kellas, pHD Biochemistry, Founder of Center for Advanced Medicine and host of Health Talks Radio Show states, “Putting together a blend of isolated enzymes, nutrients, etc. is about the trickiest thing man can attempt to do. Only the Creator of the World understands biochemistry. The rest of us guess at it. This Cleansing Enzyme product has literally taken 60 years to come up with—through a combination of “study, thought, prayer, seeking for divine guidance and real world application”.

In the early 1930s, Dr. Edward Howell of the Lindlar Sanitarium postulated his theory about food enzymes and coined it the food enzyme concept. He contended that the act of cooking or processing food kills the enzymes present in raw food, thereby putting the entire digestive burden on the body. This leads to an imbalance in the production of metabolic enzymes according to the law of adaptive secretion. His research showed that humans in comparison to animals have a disproportionate amount of digestive enzymes. He believed that nature's plan call for food enzymes (enzymes in raw food) to help with digestion instead of forcing the body's digestive enzymes to carry the whole load. He wrote a number of papers about his work and also published a book in 1946, The Status of Food Enzymes in Digestion and Metabolism. The book was then reprinted with the title Food Enzymes for Health and Longevity. His pioneering theories about food enzymes fervently advocate using supplemental digestive enzymes with a cooked and processed food diet.

Considerable research has been done in Mexico regarding cleansing the body via enzymes. Here is a website describing some of this medical research into enzyme therapy.

National Enzyme Company has recently conducted a study proving quantitative evidence of the efficacy of supplemental digestive enzymes.

Amelia B. says, “I've taken digestive enzymes since a homeopathic doctor recommended them for me in January 2000. For several years I had problems which I know now were related to digestion. After having gallbladder surgery things continued down hill. Digestive enzymes relieve heartburn, bloating, and multiple bowel problems for me. I also take enzymes to prevent headaches. I believe enzymes helps eliminate toxins and chemical buildups and help me with general muscle and joint aches. While I have no scientific proof or studies to back my claims, I've found if I stop taking the enzymes for a few months, the pains return. After returning to a regular regimen the pains go away. I've learned the value of enzymes for my good health on a daily basis.
 

FAQ: HOW DOES THE BODY GET ITS ENZYMES?

We are born with the ability to produce our own metabolic enzymes, an ability that appears to be limited. Dr. Edward Howell equated it to being born with an enzyme bank account that is finite. We have an enzyme capability designed to last our entire lifetime. How often we make withdrawals and how big they are determines our enzyme "balance," and that balance affects the level of health we enjoy. It may also affect the length of our life span. Constantly writing checks out of our enzyme account without making deposits ends up running our body on deficits. These deficits inevitably show up as problems in the body. Those who write lots of checks and make few deposits, sooner or later are likely to end up with degenerative and other disease.

Of course, we also get enzymes from outside sources other than food, such as those made by a variety of intestinal bacteria. Lactose intolerance, is a deficiency in þ-galactosidase, a lactose digesting enzyme made by certain strains of acidophilus bacteria living in the intestine. If the bacteria in the intestine does not exist in sufficient numbers to produce enough þ-galactosidase, an intolerance to dairy products may result.

Due to modern food processing, packaging, and preparations that make longer shelf-life possible, prepared food is essentially dead relative to human and animal nutritional needs. Over 80% of the average American diet today is comprised of processed and fast food. Food is even irradiated without being labeled to give consumers an informed choice, thereby destroying enzymes without cooking.
