"Sadly, upon Beard's death in 1923, pancreatic enzyme therapy was largely forgotten. Max Wolf: On the Trail of Enzyme Therapy Discovering a copy of Beard's book moldering away in a scientific library, New York physician Max Wolf thought he understood why Beard had been successful and why his imitators often had dismal results; he understood the fragile nature of the enzymes' vitality. With a passion for what would become his lifelong pursuit, Wolf began intensive research into the use of enzymes in the treatment of cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"She and her two sons deal with pervasive neurological and sensory integration dysfunctions, and have seen dramatic improvement in their conditions through the use of enzyme therapy. She has one of the most informative websites on enzymes (www.enzymestuff.com) and has never received any payment from any company for her endorsement. She speaks frequently on the topic of enzymes and autism and is an expert in this field. HARVEY DIAMOND Diamond's book Fit for Life is still the number one nutritional book ever sold, with 12 million copies printed in thirty-three languages." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"This is why enzyme therapy is valuable. Oral enzyme therapy can effectively break up clots, averting the development of metastatic tumors. In 1988, the Journal of Cancer Research Clinical Oncology published a report that documented the ability of bromelain, a pineapple enzyme, to prevent metastasis. [Journal Cancer Research Clinical Oncology 114: 507-08, 1988] Even doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York reported favorably on bromelain enzyme treatment for patients suffering from inflammatory disease." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Recommendations include dietary changes (including removing starches, high-fat foods, and fried foods); getting regular exercise; eating smaller meals; identifying and avoiding food allergens, particularly gluren (see celiac disease); and reducing stress. enzyme therapy can be used to improve digestion and nutrient absorption and soothe the digestive tract, and probiotics can help maintain the balance of flora in the intestines." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Recommendations include a well-balanced diet, stress management, rest, regular exercise, and glandular/hormonal support. enzyme therapy can support the digestive and immune systems, improve the digestion of fats, improve pH balance, and treat any inflammation that may occur as a side effect." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Optimizing blood flow and maintaining the integrity of the cardiovascular system are essential, and enzyme therapy can support these goals." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Nicholas Gonzalez, who uses enzyme therapy, was influenced by the research of Howell, Pottenger and also Dr. John Beard, who first suggested that the pancreatic proteolytic enzyme trypsin could treat cancer. Gonzalez explains, "Our immune cells, our neutrophils and lymphocytes, use enzymes to attack and kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as dangerous cancer cells that some scientists believe form every day in all of us" (Eating in the Raw, p. 10)." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"This was not his own insight, but it came from an orthodox Scottish doctor, John Beard of the University of Edinburgh, who wrote a book in 1911, The enzyme therapy of Cancer. Gonzalez argued that this approach had been discarded by the medical profession when Marie Curie discovered radiotherapy. Doctors "literally forgot" about Beard's work. The tape of Dr. Gonzalez is amazing. This defied anything I believed possible in medicine." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"I recommend the support of a professional alternative nutritionist to assist in the healing of degenerative diseases through adhering to a better diet, cleansing, vegetable juicing, and enzyme therapy. Vitamin D The sun is our most natural source of Vitamin D. For those who live far from the equator, in cold climates with little sunshine, I feel it is crucial to take a Vitamin D supplement. Dr. Bisci does not shy away from giving people hefty dosages of Vitamin D, if the person's condition would benefit. This is done under supervision. Super Green Foods We need GREENS!" - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.) "Two other powerful components to aid in cellular detoxification are vegetable juicing and enzyme therapy. Colon Hydrotherapy I think you would agree that there are many big-bellied people who have spent decades eating a Standard American Diet. Many of these individuals seek out the 100% Raw Food Diet. At first, their results are fantastic. They lose 50 pounds and have incredible energy. As time goes by and the detox goes deeper, however, these same individuals lose energy, don't feel well, get a runny nose, and their face starts to look older." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"The patient therefore decided to give enzyme therapy the benefit of the doubt. Of course, the Gerson Therapy is theoretically a diet rich in enzymes, due to its high raw aspect, and Gerson also prescribes pancreatin. The patient took the Gerson pancreatin until the end of 1998, and then switched to "Megazyme," a formulation containing 325 mg pancreatin, protease 81,250 USE amylase 81,250 USE lipase 6,500 USP per 2 capsules. The recommended dose of Megazyme is 5 capsules a.m. and 5 capsules p.m. The patient, however, takes 5 capsules a.m. only." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"With the addition of enzyme therapy, she was waging a tough battle to see how fast she could remove a lifetime of toxins and poisons, the results of a diet not meant for human consumption. It had taken approximately twenty-three years for her body to fall apart. She had been gambling with her youth, and she was losing. Remember this: No one can get away with eating and drinking anything they want just because it tastes good and they are young. Sonya was juicing constantly while transitioning her diet from processed and junk food to a healthy combination of both cooked and raw foods." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Despite these favorable findings, digestive enzyme therapy in conventional medicine has been reserved for those diseases that directly result in a pathological deficiency of pancreas-derived digestive enzymes. What causes it? There are two main types of arthritis: Osteo-arthritis, which in lay terms, is due to wear and tear of the joint, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, (RA) which is a form of arthritis where the joints have become inflamed, possibly as a result of a virus or auto-immune response." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) "Numerous studies in animals and people with rheumatoid arthritis indicate that enzyme therapy can manage symptoms of pain and inflammation at least as well as the conventional drugs, but with none of the adverse effects. In fact, side effects with enzymes are virtually nonexistent. Doctors who are experienced with proteolytic enzymes find prophylactic treatment offers a wide range of benefits including: • Better mobilization, reducing the degree of muscle atrophy, arthritis and pain on movement. • Less risk of thromboembolic complications. • Less pain and discomfort due to swelling." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) "It was found that Enzyme Therapy: • Reduced swelling and inflammation • Enhanced immune function • Reduced pain • Improved circulation • Accelerated recovery from traumatic injury • Prevented serious injury • Minimized scar formation Proteolytic enzymes can also be helpful in cases of infection. They have proved particularly useful for treating urinary tract infections." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) "Included among these are two double blind, placebo-controlled trials and three trials comparing enzyme therapy with conventional pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs. All but one of these 14 trials showed the enzymes to be superior to placebo or the comparative drug. The fourteenth was inconclusive due to methodological problems in the study design. In a nutshell, enzymes are essential in sports, delivering: • Quicker recovery, with lower associated costs. • Quicker return to training for athletes." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Wien Med Wochenschr 146: 67-72, 1996] In conclusion, enzyme therapy is considered safe, may improve the absorption of anti-cancer drugs, may elevate the immune response, does not interfere with chemotherapy and is absorbed orally despite claims to the contrary. [Cell Mol Life Science 58: 1234-45, 2001] Calcium D-glucarate: Detoxifying cancer Everything that enters the gastric tract is subject to the detoxification process." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Since Kelley's Therapy, which includes the ingestion of vast amounts of such enzymes, is now achieving some unheard of successes with pancreatic and other cancers, enzyme therapy may have some basis, and the various hypotheses76 should be investigated fur- ther. One such hypothesis suggests that proteolytic enzymes act locally in the gastrointestinal tract to generate exorphins, and this would be of benefit since opioid agonists have anti-proliferative activity.76 In animals, enzymes have been shown to slow tumour growth and metastasis." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"Gonzalez currently practices in New York City where he employs enzyme therapy for his cancer patients; he is also conducting a research study of enzyme therapy and cancer sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Proteolytic enzymes are safe to take over long periods of time and have no reported side effects. Bromelain can increase antibiotic concentration, and may increase an antibiotic's effect when they are taken together. This may make the antibiotic more effective, as in cases of staphylococcus infections." - J. E. Williams, O.M.D., Viral Immunity (Get the book.)

"Alterna wants to sell you on its belief in enzyme therapy as hair's saving grace, but enzymes are of little use to hair because hair is not living protein. Therefore, enzymes in hair-care products do not serve as an "activated" ingredient to enhance the penetration of nutrients and conditioning agents into the hair. It's an enticing hook, but nothing to take seriously when comparison-shopping between hair-care lines. Hard Hold Styling Gel has a sticky after-feel, but the hair can still be brushed through." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

"While it appears unlikely that this route of absorption is significant from the standpoint of overall nutritional status, considerable evidence exists supporting the biological and therapeutic importance of intact protein absorption and the role of fungal enzyme therapy. The emerging field of fungal enzyme therapy holds promise as an effective therapy or adjunct in a wide range of conditions, including maldigestion, malabsorption, pancreatic insufficiency, steatorrhea, celiac disease, lactose intolerance, arterial obstruction, and thrombotic disease.

"Alterna's major philosophy, which is unique and of course is used heavily in their marketing and the claims for all of their products, is their belief in enzyme therapy for the hair follicle. Alterna believes that adding enzymes (as well as other ingredients) to hair-care products allows the nutrients in the products to absorb better into the hair follicle (where hair growth takes place) and into the hair shaft. Once in (and on) the hair, these enzymes supposedly serve as the catalyst that allows hair to use ingredients such as fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in a completely new way." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

"More time was required before improvement was seen when the duration of the disease had been long-term, although most people started to show some improvement after only 2 or 3 months of enzyme therapy. In spite of these favorable findings, digestive enzyme therapy has been reserved for diseases that directly result in a pathological deficiency of pancteas-derived digestive enzymes. According to Schneider et al. (1985), common digestive disorders may benefit from enzyme replacement." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"Advocates contended that this failure was due to a lack of standards in manufacturing enzyme preparations. enzyme therapy continued to develop, but slowly. The most popular form of enzyme therapy has been the German Wobe Mugos (Mucos, GmbH, Gruenwald, Germany). These consist of protein-digesting extracts from the pancreas, calf thymus, peas, lentils and papaya. Today, enzymes are incorporated into many unorthodox treatment modalities, often along with vitamins and other substances." - Ralph W.
