Anti Fibrosis:
Enzymes eat scar tissue
and fibrosis. (7).
Fibrosis is scar tissue
and most doctors learn
in anatomy that it is
fibrosis that eventually
kills us all. Let me
explain. As we age,
which starts at 27, we
have a diminishing of
the body's output of
enzymes. This is because
we make a finite amount
of enzymes in a lifetime
and we use up a good
deal of them by the time
we reach our 40's
(Cystic Fibrosis
patients who have
virtually no enzyme
production to speak of,
even as children usually
don't make it past their
20's before they die of
the restriction and
shrinkage in the lungs
from the formation of
fibrosis or scar
tissue).
So
our body begins to dole
out our enzymes with an
eyedropper instead of
with a tablespoon.
Result: the repair
mechanism of the body
goes off balance and has
nothing to reduce the
over abundance of fibrin
it deposits in nearly
everything from simple
cuts, to the inside of
our internal organs and
blood vessels. It is
then when most women
begin to develop things
like fibrocystic breast
disease, uterine
fibroids, and
endometriosis. We all
grow arterial sclerotic
(meaning scar tissue)
plaque, and have fibrin
begin to spider web its
way inside of our
internal organs,
reducing their size and
function over time. This
is why as we age our
wounds heal with
thicker, less pliable,
weaker and very visible
scars.
If
we replace the lost
enzymes, we can control
and reduce the amount of
scar tissue and fibrosis
our bodies have. As
physicians in the US are
now discovering, even
old scar tissue can be
"eaten away" from
surgical wounds,
pulmonary fibrosis, and
kidney fibrosis even
keloid years after their
formation. Medical
doctors in Europe and
Asia have known this and
used orally administered
enzymes for such for
over 40 years!
Blood Cleansing:
The blood is not only
the river of life; it is
also the river through
which the cells and
organs dispose of their
waste. Enzymes improve
circulation by eating
the excess fibrin that
causes blood to
sometimes get as thick
as catsup or yogurt,
creating the perfect
environment for the
formation of clots. All
of this material is
supposed to be cleaned
off by the liver on
"first pass" or the
first time it goes
through. Given the
sluggish and near toxic
or toxic states of
everyone's liver these
days, that seldom
happens. So the waste
remains in the blood,
waiting for the liver to
have enough free working
space and enough enzymes
to clean it. This can
take days or in some
people, weeks! (8).
When systemic enzymes
are taken, they stand
ready in the blood and
take the strain off of
the liver by:
-
Cleaning excess
fibrin from the
blood and reducing
the stickiness of
blood cells. These
two actions minimize
the leading causes
of stroke and heart
attack: blood clots
(8).
-
Breaking dead
material down small
enough that it can
immediately pass
into the bowel. (8).
-
Cleansing the FC
receptors on the
white blood cells,
improving their
function and
availability to
fight off infection.
(9).
Balanced The Immune System:
Immune System Modulating
Enzymes are adaptogenic, seeking to restore a steady state to the body. (9). When the immune system is running low, we become susceptible to infectious disease. When it's cranked up too high, then the system creates antibodies that attack it's own tissues, as are seen in the autoimmune diseases of MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus. Here the Vitalzym will tone down immune function and eat away at the antibodies the immune system is making to attack its bodies own tissue.
When the immune system is run down too low, the enzymes increase immune response, producing more Natural Killer cells, and improving the efficiency of the white blood cells, all leading to improved immunity.
Virus Fighting:
Viruses harm us by replicating in our bodies. To do this, a virus must bond itself to the DNA in our cells through the medium of its exterior protein cell wall. Anything that disrupts that cell wall inhibits the ability of viral replication by rendering individual viruses inert. (10, 11). Systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the proteins that are supposed to be in your body and those that are foreign or not supposed to be there (again the enzyme lock and key mechanism). Vitalzym has the strongest protein eating effect of any enzyme due to its Serrapeptase
content and can be of help in combating viruses.
Caution:
And
here we come to the only
warning we have to give
concerning the use of
Vitalzym or any other
systemic enzyme - don't
use the product if you
are a hemophiliac or are
on prescription blood
thinners like coumadin,
heparin and plavix. The
enzymes cause the drugs
to work better, so there
is the possibility of
thinning the blood too
much.
