Enzymes…The Modern Miracle

by Charles Green

Is there a magic elixir for health? Enzyme Therapy could be as close as we will ever get. Over the next 20 years enzyme therapy will be the buzzword in nutrition. Enzymes will be the product of the future, and the way we strengthen or immuno-logical system. The profound effect these wonderful catalysts have is nothing short of a miracle. They truly are the "fountain of life" itself. They are the essential bio-chemical units of all forms of life. They regulate everything that happens in our system and they coordinate every physical, mental, and emotional activity. When enzyme activity slows in our body, so does our systems’ efficiency. Enzymes effect everything and when enzyme activity stops we stop. Your understanding of enzymes and enzyme therapy can have an impact on you and your family’s quality of health.

First lets look at the historical background of enzyme therapy. Then we will review enzyme therapy in its remarkable ability to slow the aging process and the treatment for many types of injuries and illnesses. And last we give an overview of the four medicinal properties of what proteolyic enzyme therapy can do.

In the Beginning

Enzyme therapy dates back to the earliest human history. In South America the Indians used the papaya leaf for its catalysts properties in wound healing and digestive disorders. In biblical times figs were used to heal tumors. It was the enzyme "ficin" derived from the fig, which caused the tumor to subside.

Father of
Enzyme Therapy

Dr. Max Wolf, born in 1885 in Vienna, Austria, received his first set of degrees in civil and structural engineering. At age 29 he left Austria to visit his brother, a physician, in New York. At his brother’s encouragement Wolf began to study medicine and shortly after finishing medical school was appointed professor of medicine at Fordham University in New York.

Dr. Wolf developed a special interest in the hormonic system. To this point no textbooks had been written. So with the help of his brother the first textbook on endocrinology was developed. This gifted man then went on to study genetics where he learned how to manipulate bacteria and plants, which served to produce massive amounts of eatable protein. Dr. Wolf patented the process and then presented the patents to Mahatma Gandhi, to help feed his starving nation.

Dr. Wolf became aware of the key role enzymes played in the vital process of life itself. He was one of the first to envision great therapeutic possibilities that could be achieved with better understanding of enzymatic actions. He learned, through a fellow research scientist’s observation, the blood serum of healthy individuals was able to destroy tumor cells, whereas this characteristic was not seen in the blood of patients with cancer. This fellow scientist called this substance "normal substance" because at that time it was not known to be enzymes. In Dr. Wolf’s research it soon became clear the missing factor in the cancer patients were enzymes. With the addition of enzymes to the blood of the individuals with cancer, he re-established this oncolytic effect. With additional research, and a long series of experiments, he discovered they could significantly intensify this wonderful anti-cancer effect. But enzymes did much more. They have many different applications and have a broad spectrum of uses. Dr. Wolf taught that premature aging, with all its secondary symptoms, is based primarily on a deficiency of enzyme. Enzymes help metabolic effciency, so it makes sense that when our system has normal enzyme levels we are more efficient and healthier. The four medicinal properties these little wonder workers have is, where most of the excitement has been. Lets look at the properties prodeolytic enzymes are known for.

Anti-inflammatory

They eat away at circulating immune complexes, the protein cleaving enzymes destroy the bugs that irritate soft tissue and create inflammation. (Soft tissue is Epithelial tissue and includes skin, eyes, internal organs, muscle, tendons, and joint capsules. Connective tissue includes blood vessels, fascia and ligaments.)

Anti-fibrotic

As we age the enzymes that control the lying down of fibrous tissue diminish. As a result, too much fibrous tissue develops in the body. Fibrous tissue that gets placed in the blood vessels, becomes the matrix for arterioscirotic plaque that clogs arteries. In blood vessels it causes thrombosis or blood clots. In breast tissue it becomes fibrocystic breast disease, in the uterus-fibromas. Prodeolytic enzymes has been shown in studies to eat away at these, diminishing their size and relieving the inflammation surrounding the condition, therefore lowering the associated pain.

Blood thinning

In the eating away at dead (necrotic) matter in the blood, of circulating immune complexes, in cleaning the white blood cells of the stuff they have to collect to fight infection, prodeolytic enzymes lowers blood viscosity without side effects. Aspirin also lowers blood viscosity; however, with possible side effects…such as thinning out blood and possibly producing hemorrhage. Prodeolytic enzymes will not do that in any dosage. If the enzymes have something to work on they will, if they don’t nothing happens and they will be excreted from the body. Another fact about aspirin is it can cause intestinal bleeding. Between 10-20 thousand people die annually in the United States from NSAID’s i.e. aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxsin etc.

Immune system suportive

The white blood cells are in charge of distroying bad bugs in our system. They have little extensions called "Fc" receptors. These extenuation’s drill into the bacteria and destroys them. After that, the extensions pick up the debris from the dead bug and carry it around awaiting disposition. The end result is a stronger immune system.

Dr. Wolf’s original enzyme preparation Wobenyzn¨ has now been administered successfully for almost 40 years. It’s been shown to reduce inflammation of all types. Examples of frequently existing inflammation ate respiratory tract, nasal sinuses, prostate gland, urinary tract, pancreas, operations and sports injuries. In fact a million enzymes are sent to the Olympic training camp for both the German and Austrian teams at the start of the Olympics to aid the athletes in healing quickly.

Enzymes are not the only "immuno-active substances," which belongs to a class of what’s referred to as "biological response modifiers." The diversity of life offers many problems for human medicine. With better understanding of the role enzymes, the "givers of life" will play, hopefully helps relieve unnecessary suffering, and improve our quality of life. Proteolytic enzyme combinations prove to be worthy in all phases of chronic and malignant diseases. The sensible use of these holistic therapies offers a new and hopeful approach. ¤
