The Truth About Enzymes

Enzymes have finally reached centre stage in the world of scientific research. They had previously been relegated to the lowly position of "just another protein". But now there is an ever-growing group of quantum biologists who fully understand that while the exterior physical make-up of an enzyme is protein-based, enzymes are literally the spark of all life.

Dr. Anna Maria Clement and I spent some invaluable time several years ago working with an electron microscope in the pursuit of observing a wide selection of enzymes. In every case, when they were split open, an actual electrical charge was observed.

We concluded that these remarkable elements are the most important nutrient that our bioelectric bodies require - far more important even than proteins, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, which only have the ability to nourish and create the structural part of our physical being. Electrical life force is the very heart of our true persona. Therefore, it must be our foremost objective to consistently acquire electrically-charged enzymes to maintain an adequate level of high frequency.

The academic community is quite lost when it comes to understanding the role enzymes play. If you look up the word "enzyme" in most medical dictionaries, it describes these powerhouses as the catalyst of all life. Yet in classrooms, we train our burgeoning scientists and doctors that an enzyme is a building block rather than the fuel that ignites life. When a sperm and egg unite, it is actually an enzyme activity that starts human life. Ironically, after our last breath, it is an enzyme activity that breaks our physical bodies down to once again join the earth.

I often think of enzymes as little gatherings of life force that unite the continuum of all that we call living. They give and take on all levels, including health and longevity. I believe the time is fast approaching when mainstream science will finally grasp the true role and importance of enzymes. Some 80 years ago, Dr. Edward Howell, the most prominent enzyme researcher in history, began to demystify our understanding of these extraordinary molecules. Today, there are many scientists worldwide who have built on his foundational wisdom and scientific verdict.

Here at the Hippocrates Health Institute we consider enzymes to be one of the four legs supporting the table of physical health, the other three being hormones, oxygen and phytochemicals. Independently and combined, these elements, in the proper balance, afford us maximum levels of health.

Yet with each passing day after food is harvested, its enzyme content diminishes. And cooking food above 118 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees centigrade) destroys all of the enzymes.

Today, lipase, a fat-consuming enzyme, is becoming more popular in weight loss supplementation. It is estimated that in Europe, Japan and the United States alone, there have been 20 million people successfully utilizing this enzyme to take off unwanted pounds. Dr. Michael Williams, immunologist and professor of medicine at Northwestern University, states that there are tens of thousands of abnormal cells floating around in our bodies at all times. When enzyme levels are adequate, immune system scavenger cells called macrophages destroy abnormal cells, keeping their numbers in check.

Doctors LePage and Miller showed that malignant tumours are in fact receptacles for surplus incompletely metabolized protein and fats. It seems that the circulatory presence of undigested fats and proteins leads to an interference with oxygen transport severe enough to threaten life itself.

According to Nobel prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg, normal cells can mutate to malignant cells within 48 hours under reduced oxygen levels. The cancer cell acts like a vacuum cleaner, sucking up the incompletely metabolized fats and proteins and collecting up to 20 times more protein than normal cells.

From this work you can see that cancer is, in effect, similar to obesity. In cancer cells, the body stores surplus unmetabolized protein and to a smaller extent, fat. In obesity, fat cells store incompletely metabolized fats. German researchers, over a two-decade period, showed that there was a parallel to the mechanics of protein storage into cancer cells. A large part of cancer research is now directed towards strengthening the immune system. Dr. A.E. Leskovar showed that supplementation with enzymes on human subjects increased the macrophages by 700% and the natural killer cells by 1,300%.

There are those who still contend that enzymes are no more than builders. How sad it is that we are limited by the diminished awareness of these purported authorities. I would challenge any of these "experts" to spend time with me here at Hippocrates Institute observing the importance of enzymes in raising immunity and overall health. We have keenly focused in on the dynamics of these powerful elements in the rebuilding of afflicted bodies.

Dr. Vivian Hunt filmed the increased bioelectric frequency that occurred when a person consumed uncooked vegan cuisine. She compared this pictorially to the results that occurred when one consumed a conventional diet. The difference was stunning. The individual consuming the living food exhibited a visible electrical frequency beyond the parameter of their physical body, whereas the electrical frequency of the cooked food consumer was greatly diminished. When such dynamic activity occurs within moments after enzymatic consumption, it further validates the intricacy and significance of these essential elements.

In the landmark book Megatrends, John Naisbit so well states the future of medicine. "Biology will be to the 21st century what physics and chemistry were to the 20th century. The main area of interest [will be] the production of enzymes or living catalysts, which act in the same way as chemical catalysts." This thoughtful volume revealed future trends for business, industry and civilization. It was on target for all of its predictions made back in the early 1990's.

So many thinkers have concluded what we have scientifically established over the last half century. The body without enzymes is like the ocean without water. In the journal Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Biochemistry Pharmacology it was so well stated, "In the near future, substantial development in pharmacology and therapeutics can be expected of enzymes." Germany is one country that has been decades ahead in its use of enzymes on the frontline of disease.

Dr. Dick Couey, professor of physiology and nutrition at Baylor University in Texas stated, "I will never eat another meal without taking a plant enzyme supplement. My body doesn't deserve such poor treatment." Today's Health, a report by the American Medical Association, stated, "Enzyme is the most promising word in research today. Many researchers are convinced that virtually all disease can be traced to missing or faulty enzymes."

Do not use yourself as a guinea pig and deplete your enzymes to experience the inevitable disorder. Give yourself the gift of an enzyme-rich diet coupled with high-quality digestive enzymes for 60 days and see for yourself what Dr. Couey and millions of others have experienced.

Drs Brian and Anna Maria Clement will be lecturing on the subject of the enzyme-rich living foods diet in a lecture in London on Saturday, June 27. Read more about this event.
