 If you are comparing two products that cost the same and have the same number of capsules per bottle, note whether or not one contains multiple enzymes per category.
As an illustration, one product that contains multiple enzyme blends may contain 80,000 HUTs of protease, whereas a competing product with one enzyme type may list 100,000 HUTs. Despite the difference in active units, the 80,000 HUT product will be more potent since the blended product will work longer in the body and ultimately break more bonds than the other product. Which is a better value? |
| The sooner antibiotics are used, the more successful they are. enzymes can be used to support proper functioning of the immune and digestive systems, to reduce inflammation and pain, and to balance the pH levels in the body to promote overall health. |
| Recommendations include eating a healthy, well-balanced diet; getting regular exercise (which has been shown to reduce the symptoms of PMS by maintaining more balanced hormone levels and reducing fluid retention); or reducing/manag-ing stress; and getting adequate rest and sleep. enzymes can maintain digestion and nutrient absorption and balance hormone levels in the body. |
| HOW MUCH ACTUAL PROTEIN, FAT, AND CARBOHYDRATES CAN enzymes DIGEST?
This is a complicated question, but note that every protein, carbohydrate, and fat is different: ž20,000 HUT of protease can break down 225 grams of dairy protein in one hour. Beef or soy would be different. ž30,000 DU of amylase can break down 100 grams of potato starch in one hour. The starch found in a carrot would be different. ž1,000 FCCFIP of lipase can break down 5 grams of vegetable oil in one minute. The fat found in beef or an avocado would be different. |
| This produces a constant drain of enzymes from the immune system and other important organs. žAny organ or gland will grow more cells and become larger if the demand placed on it exceeds its ability to function, much the same as a person's muscles will grow if they lift weights. Howell found that, in particular, human pancreases are two to three times heavier and larger in proportion to body weight compared to the pancreases of other mammals. He attributed this to consumption of an excessive amount of cooked foods, which place a large demand on the pancreas for digestive enzyme production. |

 Certain enzymes not only don't mind having this metal around but indeed have to have it in otder to function properly. Not much manganese is tequired for the performance of this ctitical set of enzymatic functions in the bodyjust enough to place it on a short list of essential mineral nutrients. This is not to say that too much manganese is not a problem. The overactivation of key enzymes can cause damage. For example, manganese-responsive enzymes in the brain tightly control the production of key neurotransmitters. |

 Increased liver weights are associated with the increased production by the liver of cytochrome P450 enzymes; žAn analysis showed that the activity of at least three liver enzymes was statistically greater than that of the controls at doses of approximately 200 mg. pentobarbital per day or greater.13
Increased liver enzymes can indicate a serious problem. The liver performs many functionsdetoxifying poisons and drugs, digestion and formation of proteins, fats and sugars, manufacturing bile, and assisting in blood clotting, to name a few. |

| Simply put, these metallic poisons screw everything up. enzymes, the delicate protein tools that biological systems depend on both to construct and to take down the building blocks of life, are essentially gummed up by lead and mercury. Vital work grinds to a halt.
Manganese does not have that effect. Certain enzymes not only don't mind having this metal around but indeed have to have it in otder to function properly. Not much manganese is tequired for the performance of this ctitical set of enzymatic functions in the bodyjust enough to place it on a short list of essential mineral nutrients. |
| The overactivation of key enzymes can cause damage. For example, manganese-responsive enzymes in the brain tightly control the production of key neurotransmitters. The overproduction and release of such neurotransmitters can lead to the overstimulation of nerve cells. This overstimulation, in turn, appears to be a key factor in wiping out pivotal brain centers, the very brain centers tied to Patkinson's disease. Indeed, this mechanism of overstimulation may be shated among manganese, cycad toxin, and the heroin analogue MPTP. |

 Like Zyflamend, these prescription drugs inhibit inflammatory enzymes in the human body called cyclooxygenase II (hence they are known as COX-2 inhibitors), but these drugs are almost too good. When COX-2 enzymes are completely knocked out by drugs, the result is less arthritis pain, but also increased risk of thrombosis (blood clots) and heart disease. |

 The acetic acid in vinegar inhibits the activity of various carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, including amylase, sucrase, maltase, and lactase. Basically, vinegar is a natural starch and sugar blocker. When these enzymes are blocked, sugars and starches pass through the digestive tract in much the way that indigestible fiber does. You can use vinegar in a quick homemade salad dressing. See chapter 5 for the recipe.
Psychological Tips
Mood swings related to fluctuating blood sugar levels are largely biological, not psychological, in nature. |
| The reason is that a family of enzymes called dehydrogenases helps to break down and use carbohydrates. The body needs vitamin Bl to make these enzymes. So when carb intake is high, your body has to make more dehydrogenases, which means you need more vitamin B1. A diet high in sugars and carbs, however, does not provide that extra vitamin B1.
Dosage: 50 mg daily. Higher amounts may be recommended by a physician.

 Pain relievers like aspirin and ibuprofen inhibit the Cox enzymes as they reduce pain. At the same time, these drugs often wreak havoc in the stomach and, in the worst cases, cause bleeding ulcers that kill. Merck and Searle scientists developed the new drugs on the theory that there were two kinds of Cox enzymes, Cox-1 and Cox-2. They theorized that a drug that selectively blocked only the enzyme known as Cox-2 would be far less harmful to the stomach than drugs like aspirin.
A safer anti-inflammatory drug would be an extraordinary and life-saving breakthrough. |

| If the pancreas is out of whack, low blood sugar and lack of enzymes could result.
A lack of pancreatic enzymes will lead to trouble when you ingest fatty foods: You may experience bloating or belching an hour after a fatty meal, or your may have a feeling of fullness.
If you lack pancreatic enzymes, there are supplements that can help. Preparations of pancreatic enzymes isolated from animal sources are used with other enzymes including bromelain, which comes from pineapple, to aid digestion. These supplements are available at health food stores. |

 But antioxidants do something else for us as well: They stimulate the liver to produce the enzymes necessary to break down the antioxidant itself, enzymes that, once produced, go on to break down other compounds as well, including whatever toxins happen to resemble the antioxidant. In this way antioxidants help detoxify dangerous chemicals, including carcinogens, and the more kinds of antioxidants in the diet, the more kinds of toxins the body can disarm. |

 In a healthy brain, APP, which is composed of about seven hundred protein building blocks called amino acids, is cleaved and released from the cell membrane by enzymes called secretases. Different types of secretases can act on different portions of the APP, creating peptides that differ in length. Peptides are small proteins composed of amino acids.
If the enzyme alpha-secretase is active, the APP is cleaved in the middle and forms apparently harmless protein fragments. But if the APP is cut by enzymes called beta- and gamma-secretases, the BAP peptide fragment is formed. |

 To bind molecules, enzymes must have pockets big enough for the molecule to fit in. Consequently, enzymes tend to be a great deal larger than the things they bind to. One such isomerase is shown below, together with the much smaller coumarin that it binds. Though this is a small enzyme by biological standards, it is still a very large molecule for a
* Science is about making dreams come true. Chemists, chief among them Nobel Prize winner Jean-Marie Lehn, are taking a leaf from nature's book and making synthetic enzymes every bit as good as, and a good bit smaller than, the natural ones. |

 Some plants produce "fake" compounds that molecularly mimic important proteins or enzymes essential for cells to grow and divide. If an insect eats these "fake" proteins, they get incorporated into its cells and prevent growth and division. Bye-bye, insect. But before you shrink from ever eating another leaf of lettuce, remember that humankind has evolved alongside plants over millions of years, during which we have relied on them for sustenance. |

| It processes the internal wastes your body produces during the normal course of metabolism; produces or aids in the manufacture of bile, hormones, and enzymes; and stores and processes fats and carbohydrates. It is a major detoxification organ in your body. However, it can become overtaxed because of the enormous load of chemicals from the highly processed food we tend to ingest, pesticides and other toxins to which we are constantly exposed, and the many other assaults of modern living. |

| Anew Retroactive+ Skin Optimizer ($22 for 1 ounce) may pique interest as an alternative to AHAs, but the papaya enzymes are notoriously unstable and not preferred to the even results possible from a well-formulated AHA or BITA product. This is still worth considering as an ultra-light moisturizer for those with normal to oily skin. It contains some very good antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, and a cell-communicating ingredient. The titanium dioxide and mica add a subtle radiant glow to skin.

| However, each Integrator then links to the physical body based on other parameters, such as its frequency range and phase value, and at a still deeper subsystems level via the energetic properties of specific organs, cells, enzymes, hormones, and so on. They talk to each other because they share the same space resonances, and those shared resonances may explain how Peter discovered, for instance, that the liver meridian of traditional Chinese medicine (Energetic Integrator 8 in the NES model of the body-field) talks to the retina and iris, but not to other anatomical structures in the eye. |

 Other causes for elevation of these liver enzymes, such as heavy alcohol intake or viral hepatitis, must be ruled out before a diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis can be determined. About half of these patients complain of fatigue and/or upper abdominal discomfort, while the other half report no symptoms.
High fat and oil consumption are associated with an elevation in liver enzymes. Most importantly, studies show that a ten- to fifteen-pound weight loss through healthful eating and exercise is a very effective means of healing the liver. |

| Throughout your body, there are trillions of chemical processes that form a tangled web of interconnections to make the enzymes, proteins, hormones, and other substances that your body needs to work properly. All of these processes must be exquisitely timed, and these substances must be produced in specific quantities and delivered with precision to the correct cells. It seems only reasonable to assume that this intricate biological dance must be choreographed by something. That something is information. |

| But you do need to evolve your eating pattern to allow your liver enzymes to handle the additional load of plant toxins. Do this gradually, as regular exposure to these toxins will activate the liver's detoxification systems, so you can get the benefits of eating lots of vegetables without the negative effects. You'll learn how to do just this in Phase 2.
SWEET MANIPULATION
Most plants with indigestible seeds use an entirely different strategy for survival. |
| Detoxification enzymes, which neutralize or eliminate toxins, are located mainly in the liver and are usually on standby in the event of an emergency. For grazing animals, the odds are that they are not going to eat enough of any single semi-toxic food to chronically overwhelm their enzyme systems. If one plant doesn't agree with them, most animals naturally just move on to another kind.
Raw vegetables are loaded with these "toxins." Am I saying you shouldn't eat plenty of raw vegetables? No way. |
