ENZYMES

Alois Kolar

Good digestion relies on the natural right enzymes in the proper amounts. Your body needs enzymes to function properly. Not only do you need them for healthy digestion, but you also need them to live, they are responsable for all functions of every organ, without them you wouldn't be able to see, to breathe, to hear, to move, to taste, swallow, drink, eat and digest your food.

Enzymes are complex protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant (and animal cells) when you eat it in natural, raw state.

Enzymes are very important because they break up large food molecules into smaller units that are absorbed and transported into the cells.

They help the body digest food and assimilate nutrients from proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and plant fibers. In addition, enzymes assist in all chemical reactions taking place in our body, including the regeneration of cells, tissues and the elimination of waste products and toxins which are internal and external.

Dr. Edward Howell stated: "Enzymes are substances that make life possible. They are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place in the human body. Without enzymes no activity at all would take place. Neither vitamins, minerals, nor hormones can do any work without enzymes".

Dr. Dicqie Fuller PhD, in her book The Healing Power of Enzymes emphasizes the importance of enzymes for digestion: "Eighty percent of our body's energy is expended by the digestive process. If you are run down, under stress, living in a very hot or very cold climate, pregnant, or are a frequent air traveler, then enormous quantities of extra enzymes are required by your body. Because our entire system functions through enzymatic action, we must 'supplement our enzymes'. Aging deprives us of our ability to produce necessary enzymes. The medical profession tells us that all disease is due to a lack or imbalance of enzymes. Our very lives are dependent upon them!"

Of course, the “medical profession” do not tell us that we should eat food in its raw state we are biologically adopted for, but medical profesion offer to us enzymes as a product of its sister of the invisible cure: chemical-pharmaceutical industry ;)...

The three main categories of Enzymes are:

1. Digestive Enzymes
2. Food or Plant Enzymes
3. Metabolic Enzymes

1. Digestive enzymes, secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and the small intestine help break down food into smaller, simple components.

2. Food enzymes exist naturally in raw food. If the food is cooked above 47 degrees Celsius, the high temperature involved in the cooking process destroys the enzymes. Digestive enzymes and food enzymes serve the same function; they digest the food so it can be absorbed into the blood stream. The difference between the two is that food enzymes are derived from fresh, raw, uncooked foods such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, while digestive enzymes are made inside your body.

3. Metabolic enzymes are produced in the cells and are found throughout the body in the organs, in the bones, the blood, and inside the cells themselves. Metabolic enzymes help run the heart, brain, lungs, and kidneys. Hundreds of metabolic enzymes are necessary for the working of our body.

The fact is that when we improve our digestion we are improving our health.

Eating our food we are biologically adopted for in its raw state is the best way to get all of nutrients including enzymes. Cooked, processed food does not have them any more.

If someone eat cooking eggs, soft boiled or poached is far better, instead of frying, but eating them in its raw state is the best.

Eggs have some of the best enzymes and nutrients particularly for our thyroid gland and our liver, so it pays to preserve these delicate enzymes in eggs as well as esential amino acids, proteins.

Some of the enzymes

- Lipase: is an enzyme that digests fats, helping to maintain correct gall bladder function. Protein absorption from fatty foods such as seeds can be improved by incorporating supplemental lipase enzymes in the diet.

- Protease: breaks down protein found in meats, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs and cheese and may be helpful for people with food allergies or who have difficulty digesting protein.

- Amylase: A natural plant enzyme which helps your body break down and assimilate carbohydrates.

- Cellulase: the enzyme that breaks down food fiber (cellulose) found in fruits and vegetables. Cellulase, which is not found in the human system, breaks the fiber bonds and increases the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.

- Lactase: digests milk sugar. Lactase deficiency is the most common and well-known form of carbohydrate intolerance. It is estimated that approximately 70% of the world's population is deficient in intestinal lactase. 

We all know (just medicine doctors, system's nutritionists do not), that milk is the food for babies of its own species, caw's milk is a food for calves, not for humans.

- Phytase: breaks down phytic acids in grains, seeds, and simple sugars into fructose and glucose.

- Maltase: digests complex and simple sugars. Maltase breaks down unused glycogen in muscle. Glycogen is a thick, sticky substance that is converted from sugars and starches and is stored in your muscle cells for future use. If stored glycogen continues to build up in the muscle tissues, it leads to progressive muscle weakness and degeneration.

- Papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple, both help digest protein. Bromelain is also a natural anti-inflammatory.

And now comes the most important fact 

Real scientists of life (Natural Hygienists) know for decades that cooking destroys all enzymes and create a lot of free radical damage in your body – accelerated ageing.

Food in its raw state we humans are biologically adopted for the best, contains enough natural enzymes for it to be digested. When the food is heated above 47 degrees Celsius, the natural enzymes present are also heated and denatured, that means they become inactive. This makes the enzymes totally ineffective in the digestive process.

With other words, toxicosis level is rising, and there are acute symptoms that slowly moves in to chronic, medicine "doctors" give them the names in the old, dead Latin language and in this way symptoms becomes diseases, which, of course are invisible treated with the chemical-pharmaceutical drugs, prescribed by medicine "doctors". These drugs destroy natural imune system, arise toxicosis and cause new, iatrogenic disease(s)...

If a population is healthy, there is no earnings for medicine "doctors" and chemical-pharmaceutical industry, earnings is solely in disease! 
Their interest are regular financial inflows: that population becomes ill, that population doesn't become healthy (it is impossible to become healthy with drugs) and that population remains their regular customer until the end of their sick life. 

And they call it: science...
It is just a system without etic.
