What are enzymes?
 Enzymes
are natural chemical compounds that
orchestrate other chemical functions.
 They are proteins made up of amino acids produced
by living organisms
 They are NOT “alive” nor are they living cells
 Without enzymes life would cease to exist!
“Most diseases known to man are the
result of an enzyme imbalance.”
-Tom
Bohager
-“Enzymes: What the experts know”
Enzymes are Essential To Life
 Every
daily biochemical function in the body needs
enzymes
 They facilitate the building of compounds from the
body’s raw materials
 Transports elements throughout the body
 Breaks down food for body simulation quickly
 Eliminates many toxins and chemical waste in the
body
There are 3 kinds of Enzymes
1.
2.
3.
Digestive Enzymes: breaks down proteins, fats
and carbohydrates
Food Enzymes: cells and enzymes in plants are
similar to those in both humans and animals
Metabolic Enzymes: produced within the body
that is not utilized for digestion
Digestive Enzymes
 Proteases
breaks down proteins.
 Lipases break down lipids or fats.
 Amylases break down carbohydrates.
 Cellulases (technically a form of amylase) break down
cellulose.
Food Enzymes
Introduced to the body through the RAW FOOD that we
eat.
Raw food only manifests enough enzymes to digest that
particular food.
Does NOT contain enough enzymes to be stored in the body
for later use!
COOKING (over 110 degrees)AND PROCESSING OF
FOOD DESTROYS ALL OF THE FOOD’S ENZYMES
Metabolic Enzymes
 Any
enzyme produced within the body that is not utilized
for digestion.
 They have been called the “spark, energy, or vitality”
of life.
 Without these enzymes we would not be able to hear,
feel, THINK, walk, talk, breath or LIVE.
 They make biochemical reactions possible within the cells
for detoxification and energy production.
Enzyme Destruction
 Temperatures
over 120 degrees
 Food processing
 Microwave
 Radiation
 Disrupted bond in amino chains
Digestive Process
 Begins
in the mouth.
 Three different types of amylase are secreted to
digest carbohydrates.
 The act of chewing mixes the food with the
enzymes.
 Continued digestion of carbs in the upper stomach
30 to 40 minutes.
 Food enters lower stomach.
The Intestines
 Chyme
enters the duodenum, a section of small
intestine.
 Lipase from the pancreas and bile from the
gallbladder assist in fat digestion.
 Additional enzymes are added to finish digestion
supplied by the pancreas.
 Enters large intestine home to good bacteria.
 A byproduct of their metabolism is some vitamins
that we need.
GUT FLORA: Essential Flora
 Digestive
system, skin, eyes, respiratory and excretory
organs are happily coexisting with trillions of invisible
lodgers.
 Our ecosystem revolves around macro- and micro-life;
we can not live without the other.
 Average adult carries 1.5-2kg of bacteria in gut.
 Indigenous friendly bacteria: bifidobacteria,
lactobacteria, propionobacteria, physiological strains
of E.coli, peptostreptococci, and Enterococci.
OPPORTUNISTIC FLORA
 Large
group of various microbes
 A few examples: bacteriods, staphylococci,
streptococci, bacilli, clostridia, yeasts and many
others
 500 various species of microbes known to science so
far found in the human gut
 Transitional flora are microbes which we daily
swallow with food and drink
 Beneficial bacteria control these opportunistic flora
GUT WALL IS THE KEY
“If beneficial bacteria in the gut are damaged and are not
functioning as they should, then the “walls of the city” are not
protected very well…the gut wall is open to invasion by
anything that comes along: a virus from vaccination or the
environment, a ubiquitous fungus such as Candida albicans,
various bacteria and parasites and toxic substances, all of
which are very capable of damaging our digestive system
and causing a chronic inflammation in the walls.”
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride “Gut and Psychology
Syndrome”
WHAT CAN DAMAGE GUT FLORA
ANTIBIOTICS:
1.
Change bacteria, viruses and fungi from
benign to pathogenic, giving them ability to
invade tissues and cause disease
2.
Make bacteria resistant to antibiotics
3.
Direct damaging effect on immune system.
OTHER FACTORS:

Physical exertion, old age, alcoholism,
pollution, toxic chemicals, radiation,
seasonal factors, extreme climate
Malabsorption
Malabsorption is caused
from:
 Prolapsed bowel
 Spastic bowel
 Twisted bowel
 Lack of water
 Acidic pH level of
body tissues and
organs
 Insufficient or total
lack of enzymes
 Compromised Gut
Wall
Digestion and Liver
• Synthesize proteins.
• Synthesize, store and process
fats.
• Metabolize and store
carbohydrates.
• Form and secrete bile.
•Eliminate biochemicals
produced by the body.
• Detoxify the system of drugs,
alcohol and environmental
toxins.
Digestion and the Colon

Large Intestine

Garbage can of the body


Bacteria invade vegetable foods and help
disintegrate them
Undigested protein cause damage to the body
 Walls of colon will reabsorb poisonous excrement
back in the system
 Port from colon leads directly to brain
Colon Polyps and Colon Cancer
• Polyps are fleshy growths
that occur along the inside of
the lining of the colon, also
known as the large intestine.
• Estimated that 50% of
people over 60 will have at
least one polyp.
• Colon cancer is the second
leading cause of death from
cancer in the U.S.
• Adenomas, polyps that
become cancerous account
for 75% of all polyps.
After Digestion
 Enzymes
break down
 Pass into blood stream as amino acids
 Are used as building blocks in the body
 They make there way back to the liver and
pancreas and are used again
Plant Enzymes
protease, peptidase, lipase, amylase, glucoamylase,
alpha-galactosidase, cellulase, hemicellulase,
invertase, malt diastase, lactase, pectinase and
phytase.
Affected by pH differential throughout digestion
Work through stomach acids (research by Beazall
1941, Graham 1977, Griffin 1989)
Reactivates in small intestines
Animal Enzymes
Protease, lypase, amylase, pancreatin, trypsin,
chymotrypsin
Break
down protein toxins
Work only in the alkaline environment of the upper
stomach
Pepsin is active in the acid of the lower stomach, but
not in the small intestine
Microbial Enzymes
 The
enzymes secreted by invader microbes in the
body are called mycotoxins and are poisonous to
humans
 Manufactured
by the food and drug industry for
food additives, medicines, cleaning products and
other sources
Enzyme Supplements
 Necessary
because American soil is mostly barren
 Grains harvested before enzymes can develop in
seeds
 Processed and cooked foods void of enzymes
 Children born to mothers with limited store of
enzymes in body
Life Without Enzymes
 Yeast
Infections
 Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
Celiac’s Disease
 Brain fog, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Autism,
ADD/ADHD
 Rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s
 Hypoglycemia, depression, allergies, fibromyalgia,
gluten intolerance, eczema, hives, rashes, red face,
hyperactivity
 Chemical senstivties
Phenol sulphotransferase: The PST Enzyme
 Prevents
removal of catecholamines
 Production of neurotransmitters
 Pathway for detoxification of xenobiotics
 Important for detoxification of chemical build up in colon
 Diets high in bad fat can alter PST activity
 Diets high in good fat improved allergenic reaction
causing asthma attacks

phenolic foods
 Deficiency in a key detoxification pathway
Sulfur Deficiency Link
 Sulfur
is an important part of many enzymes and in
antioxidant molecules
 Autistic Children tested as much as 15% low in sulfur
 A report from McFadden in 1996 stated that a large
number of adults cannot metabolize sulfur.
 Both have trouble with allergies, environmental chemical
and sensitivity to smells

Phenolic sensitivity
The PST enzyme pathway is blocked by:
1.Food additives, flavoring, and coloring, dyes, BH, BHT, and
TBHQ block PST enzyme and pancreatic secretions
2.Synthetic phenolic medication acts like anti-inflammatory
steroidal drugs
CAUSES INABILITY TO METABOLIZE SULFUR compounds in
humans, known as sulfate ions.
Phenols are Necessary Part of Life
 All
foods contain some phenolic compounds,
especially fruits and vegetables
 Phenols are high in antioxidants (fight free radical
damage to cells in body)
 They preserve foods in their natural state by
protecting them from pathogens
 They take an active part in the germination and
growth of seeds and attract flower pollinators
 They are powerful detoxifiers
NEUTRALISATION
 1979
Dr. Robert Gardner discovered that just a
few drops of small water dilutions of pure phenolic
compounds would completely neutralize reaction to
foods.
 Pure therapeutic-grade essential oils contain
hundreds, maybe thousands, of pure phenolic
compounds.
 The neutralizing dose is given as drops under the
tongue
