enzymes and energy

You take care of yourself, you eat right, take vitamins,
and exercise, but something is not right with your
health. You feel fatigued, achy, maybe you have heartburn
or your stomach bothers you. Your doctor can’t find
anything wrong with you. This is a typical description
of a person lacking the proper enzymes in their diet.
Enzymes are substances that make life possible. They
are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place
in the human body. That vitamin you take needs enzymes
to transport it through your body and unlock its
benefits. The wholesome food you eat? Often it’s grown
on depleted soil and then over-processed or cooked until
the enzymes are all destroyed. Those aches you feel? It’s
your body screaming for help.
Without enzymes to digest your food and carry the
nutrients throughout your body, waste builds up in your
body and eventually disease occurs. In my office we’ve
noticed an increase in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Even
children are getting it. This is a classic example of the
harm a lack of enzymes can cause.
The causes of degenerative disease have remained obscure
despite billions of dollars spent on research. Drug
companies are getting richer every year and get this….
adverse drug reactions rank as the 3rd leading cause
of death in the U.S.A. (Journal of the American Medical
Association, July 26, 2000).
Fortunately, scientists are now looking into the role
enzymes play in our health. Pioneers in Plant Enzyme
Therapy, like Dr. Howard F. Loomis, have developed
objective test methods to determine enzyme and nutritional
deficiencies and created formulations that use
the innate abilities of the body to do what it knows how
to do best: heal and prosper. Here’s a simple analogy:
enzymes are the construction workers of the body. They
use the vitamins and minerals as building materials
to put up the latest architectural marvel -- your body.
At times there is an ample supply of building material
but not enough workers to complete the job. The building
materials will remain unused until enough workers
show up at the job site.
One of my patients, a woman in her 50s, came to me for
help because, although she was being treated for gall
bladder issues, nothing was improving her health. She
was thin, with a bloated stomach, sallow complexion,
and couldn’t seem to concentrate. Through my testing, I
realized she did not have gall bladder issues; the problem
was that she could not process dairy or grain products.
After years of stressing her body by being unable
to digest these products, her body was finally breaking
down into disease. I put her on the proper plant enzyme
therapy and now she is a glowing, vibrant woman.
It is wise to follow Nature’s laws. Proper digestion and
elimination are two keys to health and longevity. Drugs
won’t repair your body; only nature can do that. If you
