Enzyme Relief to The Rescue

Why does the body attack itself?

When an immune system cell — an antibody — binds with an invader — an antigen, they form what’s called an immune complex, or IC. If the immune complex circulates in the blood it’s called a circulating immune complex, or CIC. In a healthy individual, ICs are carried away and disposed of as waste.
Think of the antibody as the bouncer in a bar and the antigen as a rough customer who needs to be thrown out. When the bouncer puts a strong arm on the bad boy, the two form an immune complex or IC. What’s supposed to happen is that the bouncer quietly escorts the troublemaker out the door, returns to the bar, and peace is restored.

But what if the bouncer and the customer get into a fight and roll around on the floor instead of leaving? What if the IC doesn’t go away? Worse yet, what if the troublemaker has a couple of friends who join the fight? Pretty soon other people jump in and before you know it the whole place is in an uproar.

Autoimmune diseases are at the frontier of medicine

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

Likewise, the body can misidentify our own tissues as antigens and form auto-antibodies. The result is autoimmune disease, a category that includes many familiar maladies such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
But — and this is where we don’t know enough — the autoimmune response also seems to figure in some unexpected disorders such as heart disease, autism, and even cancer.

Autoimmune diseases are at the frontier of medicine. It’s hard to tell whether a given disease is autoimmune or not. What’s more, as in heart disease, it’s hard to tell whether the autoimmune response is the main cause of the disease or just a side effect that makes the disease worse.

The most interesting work in autoimmune disease is taking place in alternative medicine because autoimmune diseases tend to be chronic and incurable as far as establishment medicine is concerned. So the victims embark on a desperate search for the answers conventional doctors don’t have.

Good versus bad inflammation

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

“Good” inflammation is a key part of healing. The redness and swelling around a wound are an immune system response — inflammation. The fever we get from a viral infection is an immune system response — inflammation. It’s how our bodies kill the invaders.

The problem is that inflammation is supposed to solve the problem and then go away. When associated with diseases like allergies and rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation is chronic i.e. long-term, and usually harmful. Our immune system attacks and destroys our own tissues.

The defining fact about the immune system is that it usually can tell the difference between self and non-self. The immune system attacks foreign matter — the non-self. It literally eats it and even carries away the waste.

Meanwhile, our immune system does NOT attack our own cells because almost every cell in our own bodies carries a marker that identifies it as self. When our immune system starts attacking the self, it’s bad news.
When a particle of non-self invades the body, it’s called an antigen. An antigen can be a virus, a fungus, a bacterium, a parasite, a tissue transplant from another person — your immune system tags anything that’s not you as an antigen.

The immune system forms antibodies to destroy the antigens. If the antigen is in fact something harmless such as pollen, dust, wheat or milk, we’re said to be allergic. Antigens of this type are also called allergens. There’s no reason for your immune system to attack allergens but it does anyway.

How enzymes help the immune system conquer inflammation and treat a dozen diseases

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

If enzyme research establishes one thing for sure, it’s that enzyme therapy can reduce inflammation. We also know for certain that inflammation is an immune system response.

Plus, we know that inflammation figures in a long list of chronic diseases: both types of arthritis, colitis, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), pancreatitis and more. Now it’s even linked to heart disease.
Inflammation — which causes pain — is one of the most common complaints associated with ANY disease. It’s part of a healthy immune response, but also a sign that something’s wrong.

When inflammation is linked to a chronic disease — when inflammation rages unchecked in the joints or arteries, for example — it can permanently destroy tissue and cause terrible pain. It can even lead to death.
Enzyme therapy can bring significant relief. In some tests enzymes outperformed prescription anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and they did so without the dangerous side effects of medications.

We can learn a lot by taking a close look at what causes inflammation at the cellular level and how enzymes reduce it. In doing so, we’ll see how enzymes can bring symptomatic relief — and can actuall y cure the root causes of some diseases. Depending on the individual case, they achieve this by themselves or as an adjunct to other therapies .

The next few posts go into some depth about how the immune system operates , andsome of it is speculative, that is, educated guesswork.

Conclusive evidence for the power of enzymes

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

DeFelice ended up collecting data from the parents of 260 children in a study as scientifically rigorous as she could make it. She tracked them for seven months as they gave their kids Peptizyde and another enzyme formula called Zyme Prime .

In the first group she tracked, involving 151 children, 35% of the parents “described the level of improvement as very great or impressive…” An additional 35% rated it very good or good.

At the end of four months, a combined total of 87% reported positive results with enzyme therapy.
The researchers responsible for the enzyme supplements learned from the parents who reported negative or no-change results and tweaked their formula. With the improved formula, the 101 parents in the next go-round reported a 92% improvement rate.

What’s more, it wasn’t just the opinion of the parents. The children got better in measurable physical ways — weight gain, improved complexion, bowel regularity, and more.

What more can you say to skeptical mainstream doctors who don’t think our G.I. tract is at the heart of many of the diseases in our society? Do they also think the earth is flat?

Parents Discover Enzymes and Help Childhood Allergies

Other parents in the Internet group discovered the same wonderful freedom from illness. One mother described “an amazing child who still has issues but actually says hello to people, enjoys playing with other children, loves to do crafts in school…”

Listen to other parents… “The teacher said my son sat attentively all
day. The red rash and dark eye circles are gone.” “My daughter is using the potty!” “We enjoyed a regular family meal at a restaurant!” The results were so astounding the parents
started to call it, “The Happy Child Effect.”

Autism and Digestive Enzyme Success

Like many people (including me) who have discovered they have food intolerances, DeFelice went all-out trying to identify offending foods.

Like most of us, she quickly found out that elimination diets are a pain in the neck. Try doing without all milk and grain products — and maybe a great many other foods as well. Such diets are almost impossible to stick to, and at the end of the day they aren’t that effective. Most of us improve, but we’re still sick. Then she heard about enzymes and how they could break down the foods people were trying to eliminate from their diets. Specifically, she heard about Peptizyde, an enzyme formula designed to achieve the same purpose as a casein-free, gluten-free diet.

The day she got her first bottle, she decided to try a test. She gave each of her boys one capsule and an ice cream sandwich. She joined the trial, too.

A wonderful thing happened: NOTHING. They had no reaction hours or days later. “No migraines. No whining. No nothing.”

From that day forward they found they could eat dairy and grain-based foods containing gluten as much as they wished. They could stuff themselves with ice cream or bread — with no reaction.

What is autism - Therapeutic enzymes Part 5?

“It is very evident from much of the research that many people with neurologically related conditions may have a multitude of gastrointestinal problems,” she now writes. Her book cites studies of autistic children that show they have a higher incidence of gastrointestinal problems than do healthy children. It can be very hard to get an autistic child to eat. They tend to be skinny to the point of wasting away. Not only are there crucial links between the G.I. tract and the immune system, there’s also a deep connection between the G.I. tract and mental states and mood. You’ll probably be surprised to learn you have more serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in your gut than in your brain.

Playing her hunch, DeFelice decided to eliminate milk from her family’ s diet.

The results were startling. Matthew immediately improved — and not only that, but DeFelice and her other son, Jordan, got relief from their migraines.

After a few months on the no-milk diet, she found that for Matthew, “The tiniest amount of casein would create major emotional meltdowns, migraines, inability to transition and whining.” Casein is a milk protein found in many processed grocery items that you wouldn’t expect to contain milk.

What is autism - Therapeutic enzymes Part 4?

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

When DeFelice’s second child, Jordan, was born

nearly two years later, he too had “sensory integration problems,” although his were less severe than Matthew’s. Jordan also rocked back and forth, but not as compulsively. He was too insensitive to pain and would hurl himself off the top of furniture. He had many digestive problems.

For as long as she could remember, DeFelice herself had had lifelong neurological problems including constant migraine headaches. Incredible as it may sound, she suffered from the headaches almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

She was “hypersensitive to everything,” could wear only certain clothing textures, could tolerate only certain types of light…the list was long. A light breeze could feel like bugs crawling all over her skin. She calls herself “a sensory integration disaster.”

She was desperate for answers. She asked Matthew’s doctors whether allergies
could figure in his disability. They dismissed the idea. She also didn’t know that food intolerance (for instance to lactose or gluten) differs from true food allergies. She just had a vague hunch that food and digestion were the problems.

And, yes, digestion and the immune system are involved.

What is autism - Therapeutic enzymes Part 3 ?

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

Other classic symptoms include refusal to make eye contact. When having a conversation, many autistic children look to one side instead of at the other person. In general, they have trouble processing sensory information. Put an autistic child in the middle of a crowded airport terminal and he or she might either shut down and refuse to deal with it or have a tantrum. They’re overwhelmed by all the sensory input.

For this reason they have trouble “transitioning,” or handling anything besides their own homes and the people they know well. When they leave the house they become over-stimulated and might need to rest frequently.
