Enzymes – Basic Overview


What are Enzymes?

Enzymes are used in every facet of industry: making beer, cheese, sauerkraut, fermented soy products, like miso and tempeh, and in industrial processes unrelated to food processing.  In the medical industry, enzymes are used for analysis and medical manufacturing processes.  It is time we use their wonderful abilities ourselves!
Enzymes have been used in Europe for over 30 years in hospitals and during surgery.  Why not here?  The problem, of course, arises in the US when enzymes are suggested for health therapy and to replace patented drugs.  Enzymes are not recommended as a primary treatment, because they negate the need for the majority of expensive (read: profitable) pharmaceutical drugs.  Natural solutions are NOT in the best interest of pharmaceutical businesses or medical practices.
Without enzymes, human life could not exist.  Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, especially in dissolving food.  They are found in every cell of plants, animals and humans.  They either begin a reaction or cause a reaction to speed up (a good part of why we like them).

Enzymes are the workers in your body – they carry out every chemical reaction.  To have a healthy body you need both workers (enzymes) and building materials.  The building materials are proteins (amino acids), minerals, and vitamins.  All of these are necessary to build a healthy body.  Trying to function without all the necessary enzymes is the cause of many body malfunctions.

There are seven categories of food enzymes:
1. Lipase to break down fat
2. Protease to break down protein (including fibrin biofilms)
3. Cellulase to break down fibres
4. Amylase to break down starch;
5. Lactase to break down dairy foods;
6. Sucrase to break down sugars; and

7. Maltase to break down grains.

These enzymes are catalysts made out of amino acids by RNA.  Some people call them ‘active proteins’.  This activity means they make things happen. (Imagine a factory with lots of equipment and raw materials.  Nothing happens without workers to make it all happen.)

These enzymes are often grouped into three functions:

1. Food/digestive enzymes – These take the basic building blocks delivered by food we eat and convert these to colloidal particles (the smallest particles that exist in a free state) that can be converted into healthy living tissue.

2. Metabolic enzymes – Metabolic enzymes use these colloids to keep all of our organs and tissues functioning.  They do hundreds of diverse chemical activities like repairing body organs and fighting disease. Our body’s ability to stay healthy, to repair tissue when injured, to protect us from disease, is directly related to the quality and number of enzymes, co-enzymes and nutritious food.

3. Clean-Up Enzymes – these enzymes are for the last job needed in any body function – cleaning up.  They are responsible for eliminating the mess that is left in our body from the construction and repair work that goes on 24/7.  These clean-up enzymes clear our bodies of the undigested carbohydrates, proteins and any non-vital tissue floating around.

   Another vital job of enzymes, which we will explain later, is anti-inflammatory activity to fight infections and tissue damage.

Enzymes need a proper temperature and PH to perform their work. Enzymes from plants work best at the human body’s temperature and PH.  They are essential in every function of growth and repair; and, therefore, the health of every living cell in your body. Thousands of enzymes are working every second to build and regenerate our bodies. Enzymes are constantly being converted or produced in our bodies and depend upon good nutrition to keep ahead of daily damage and degeneration.


Keeping Your Enzymes Healthy

Enzymes do need our help to do their jobs, and this help comes from Co-enzymes.  Co-enzymes are vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B12.  Even a small deficiency in B12 results in disease. This becomes such a problem with elderly people on poor diets that, at times, they can even need injections.  Co-Enzymes, Zinc and Magnesium are needed for about 300 enzyme activities.  Have you ever heard of the famous co-enzyme Q10, or CoQ10?  Its another vital co-enzyme.  Without enzymes and co-enzymes there would be no life, as we know it.  Grass, trees, insects, germs, animals and humans all depend on enzymes  and co-enzymes to sustain growth and health.

In 1930, only 80 enzymes were known.  By 2000, over 3,000 enzymes had been researched and discovered.  There are literally thousands of studies on enzymes and the vital role of enzymes.

There are two ways to preserve and replenish our enzyme levels:

1.  Eating good living foods, and
2.  Take supplements that have enzymes and co-enzymes.
On a daily basis we eat enzymes in unprocessed, raw or lightly cooked foods.  Enzymes are also produced or converted by other enzymes inside the body or endogenously (literally meaning inside-created).  Some have a long lifespans (weeks) and some have a short lifespans (minutes). This explains the obvious need for daily intake of enzymes that are alive – meaning not killed by over processing.  Food processing activities, like microwaving, pasteurizing, and cooking at high heat kill living, active, enzymes.  Foods alive with enzymes include vegetables and fruits, raw or lightly cooked fish, meats and sprouted seeds and beans.
Studies show that a 70 year old has only 20% of the enzymes found in the body of a 20 year old. This is a major part of the cause of age-related diseases – maybe more directly linked than any other undercutting of life and health over the past 100 years!  However, the condition of having low enzymes in the body is easy to correct with better food and better supplements.
Enzymes are the prime tools for re-gaining health from the majority of health problems.  Without proper and appropriate enzyme activity, there can be no return to health.  This is recognized by every medical doctor and is well known to those that use enzymes at the frontline of health care.

Prevent Disease with Proteolytic Enzymes

Our interest has been in the Proteolytic enzymes that can help us defeat major diseases.  Monolaurin can kill bacteria and viruses alone, but specific proteolytic enzymes can help Monolaurin do a quicker and more thorough job.  Let’s see how.
Fibrin is made from fibrinogen, a tough protein substance that makes long fibrous chains.  It clots blood and forms a “mesh” over wound sites.
Fibrosis is the formation of excessive fibrous connective tissue in response to injury or long-term inflammation.
Fibrin can also be used by bacteria and viruses to hold together a protective film they form around themselves.  It is the ‘re-bar’ that holds bio-films together.
Enzymes can act to prevent too much fibrin from being deposited in wounds, fractures and joints.  The proteolytic enzymes we recommend dissolve fibrin.  Several major health issues are resolved when excessive production of fibrin and related bio-films are prevented and/or destroyed.  Bacterial and viral diseases can be killed when bio-films are dissolved and bacteria and viruses lose this protective shield.  Some enzymes are powerful enough to actually dissolve scar tissue. (This takes time, of course, but eventually most scar tissue can be removed.)  Joints, with excessive fibrin removed, can reduce in size (and pain), and improve functionally.

No side effects!

Systemic enzymes have a benefit in that, side effects do not occur with systemic enzymes!  (The minor exception is that the enzymes can thin blood, so people on blood-thinning drugs or hemophilia should consult with their doctor first.)

  • Our enzyme preparations are carefully formulated so they don’t dissolve in the stomach and can get into the intestines to be absorbed without being destroyed first.

Our Recommended Fibrin and Biofilm-Busting Blend

We recommend what we believe is the best blend of fibrin and bio-film dissolving enzymes available.  The stars of this blend are the following active proteins:
Serrapeptase    – might be the Super Star.  A hard call because the others are
also very good.
Nattokinsae      – is close to serrapeptase.
Bromelain         – operated in co-operation with our own immune system.
Papain               – dissolves over 2000x its own weight.
Grapefruit seed extract  –  actually has the longest history of use.
Put these together and they will dissolve the protective shields diseases put up.  This allows Monolaurin to come into quicker contact with the disease and do its job more quickly and thoroughly.
