1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Enzymes cannot function properly without the presence
of other substances which are known as coenzymes. Coenzymes are minerals,
vitamins and proteins.
4) Once enzymes have completed their appointed task,
they are destroyed. For life to continue, you must have a constant
enzyme supply which requires continued replacement of enzymes.
5) Enzymes are found in all living cells including raw
foods or those that are cooked at a temperature lower than 116 de/grees
Fahrenheit. Enzymes begin to perish when the temperature increases
beyond 116 degrees. The degree of enzyme destruction is a function
of time and temperature.
6) Enzymes are primarily proteins, yet enzymes need
amino acids for normal function. Hormones are primarily proteins which
require interaction with enzymes to regulate bodily processes.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) An Enzyme deficiency must be carefully considered
as a possible precursor of bodily imbalance and consequent disease
symptoms.
12) Enzymes are, therefore, justified as a supplemental
dietary substance which need is parallel with mineral, vitamin and
all other supportive therapies.
