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. Digestive Enzymes: breaks down proteins, fats and carbohydrates
2. Food Enzymes: cells and enzymes in plants are similar to those in both humans and animals
3. 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 antibiotics3. 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 EnzymesProtease, lypase, amylase, pancreatin, trypsin, chymotrypsin
Break down protein toxins Work only in the alkaline environment of the upper stomachPepsin 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
Probable PST DysfunctionSynthetic chemicals are potent inhibitors of human liver enzymes. They are found in:Processed and Fast FoodToysClothingPersonal care productsWater and Air
Autism High GI inflammation and dysfunction in
both upper and lower GI tract Decreased enzyme activities Treatment of digestive problems had a
positive effect on autistic behavior Usually have food allergies and
sensitivities to 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
Phenol the parent compound, used as an disinfectant and for chemical synthesisBisphenol A and other bisphenols produced from ketones and phenol / cresol
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) - a fat-soluble antioxidant and food additive
Capsaicin the pungent compound of chili peppers
Cresol found in coal tar and creosote
Estradiol estrogen - hormones
Eugenol the main constituent of the essential oil of clove
Gallic acid found in galls
Guaiacol(2-methoxyphenol) - has a smokey flavor, and is found in roasted coffee, whisky, and smoke
4-Nonylphenol a breakdown product of detergents and nonoxynol-9
Orthophenyl phenol a fungicide used for waxing citrus fruits
Picric acid (trinitrophenol) - an explosive material
Phenolphthalein pH indicator
Polyphenol e.g. flavonoids and tannins
Propofol an anesthetic
Raspberry ketone a compound with an intense raspberry smell
Serotonin / dopamine / adrenaline / noradrenaline natural neurotransmitters
Thymol (2-Isopropyl-5-methyl phenol) - an antiseptic that is used in mouthwashes
Tyrosine an amino acid
Xylenol used in antiseptics & disinfecticides
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 secretions2.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
