Enzymes rule over all other nutrients.
Enzymes are responsible for nearly every facet of life
and health and far outweigh the importance of every other
nutrient.
Enzymes are needed to help control all
mental and physical functions. Each body cell has in
excess of 100,000 enzyme particles necessary for
metabolic processes.
Enzymes cannot function properly without
the presence of other substances which are known as
coenzymes. Coenzymes are minerals, vitamins and proteins.
Once enzymes have completed their
appointed task they are destroyed. For life to continue
you must have a constant enzyme supply which requires
continual replacement of enzymes.
Enzymes are found in all living cells
including raw foods or those that are cooked at a
temperature lower than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzymes
begin to perish when the temperature increases beyond 118
degrees. The degree of enzyme destruction is a function
of time and temperature.
Enzymes are primarily proteins, yet
enzymes need amino acids for their normal function.
Hormones are primarily proteins which require interaction
with enzymes to regulate bodily processes.
Enzymes aid in transforming proteins into
amino acids. Protein does not perform its function unless
broken down into amino acids. Amino acids can be
considered as an enzyme carrier whose function is to
transport enzymes to various functions in the body.
Enzymes help extract minerals from food.
Enzymes transform minerals into an alkaline detoxifying
agent which combines with acid cellular wastes and toxic
settlements within the body thus neutralizing them and
preparing them for elimination.
Enzymes use minerals to create an even
balance of dissolved solids both inside and outside the
cells, thus equalizing both internal and external
pressures which we call osmotic equilibrium.
Vitamins are required as coenzymes to
work with enzymes in every chemical reaction in every
cell of the body. Without minerals extracted from food by
enzymes, vitamins would be unable to perform their
function.
An enzyme deficiency must be carefully
considered as a possible precursor of bodily imbalance
and consequent disease symptoms.
Enzymes are, therefore, justified as a
supplemental dietary substance which need is parallel
with mineral, vitamin and all other supportive therapies.
