While reading this book entitled,

"Enzymes, The Fountain of Life", I am realizing that the European medical establishment has already proven that enzyme therapy is effective against a variety of so called diseases and disorders. Scientists have been proving enzyme therapies are effective for a very long time. If the body is missing just one enzyme or co-enzyme then it will be out of sync with itself. Finding out which enzyme(s) it is lacking is performed by simple lab tests, blood, urine, saliva. Replacement of the missing enzyme(s) is also very easy as science has narrowed down the best ways of isolating and purifying them. Why then does the American Medical Establishment refuse to utilize proven techniques with proven results? Is it that healthy people don't create a health care system and economy?

Check out these numbers!

The demand for insulin is enormous. It has been estimated that there are over 120 million diabetics in the world, many of them requiring treatment with insulin. In the United States, over 14 million patients with diabetes are estimated. Of these, 10 percent or 1.4 million are insulin dependent type 1 diabetics and a little over 12 million are type 2, one third, or 4 million of whom also require insulin for a combined total of nearly 6 million patients on insulin at a cost of more than 20 billion dollars per year.
Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, about 150,00 deaths per year. Insulin is essential to life. The insulin required to treat millions of diabetics until recently was extracted from the pancreas of pigs and beef after slaughter. German sources estimate that in order to provide 100,000 patients with porcine insulin it is necessary to slaughter 3.5 million pigs per year. Likewise in the United States over 20,000 tons of beef pancreas were required per year to supply the demand. In other words, it takes 14 cows' and 70 pigs' pancreas to supply one diabetic patient for one year. In 1984, 79 million animal pancreas were required to meet the U.S. needs. It was the last full year of animal derived pancreatic insulin. In recent years, the sources of animal pancreas have diminished considerably.
Modern technology makes it possible to produce biosynthetic recombinant human type insulin derived from bacteria, (i.e. E. coli) yeast and a semisynthetic human type insulin converted from pigs. Genetic engineering has made it possible to train microorganisms to produce insulin. An insulin identical to human insulin has been prepared from a microorganism known as E. coli, utilizing a method known as recombinant DNA technique. Here the bacteria have been genetically altered by the addition of the human gene for insulin production.

That is a lot of information about insulin. I found this interesting I hope you do also. If you are diabetic see the movie "Simply Raw" and help yourself. There is no profit in a health industry full of healthy people.

Excerpt from "Enzymes The Fountain of Life"

Action of the pancreas? (on oral hydrolytic enzymes)

An action on the pancreas was suggested based on studies where orally administered proteases suppressed the exocrine pancreas and the choleccytokinin release. It was not explained how suppression of the exocrine pancreas can have anti-inflammatory or cell-suppressive effects. Studies published by Dr. Edward Howell in his book on enzymes suggests that when the pancreas has to work less as a result of proper and natural diets, the basic amino acid chains otherwise required by the pancreas for dietary uses are made available to the metabolic enzymes which are needed for everyday health. Dr. Howell indicated that enzymes present in food are routinely destroyed by cooking and a diet without enzymes results in enlargement of the pancreas, with an increase in chronic degenerative diseases and cancer. He showed that when fresh or raw foods rich in enzymes are given in the diet enlargement of the pancreas was inhibited. He correlated the absence of pancreatic enlargement with a reduction in the incidence of chronic degenerative diseases and cancer.
I would again like to credit the book "Enzymes The Fountain of Life" by Dr. Lopez, M.D., R.M. Williams, M.D.,Ph.D and M. Miehlke, M.D.

Lecture on the China Study

Wow, I'm on the radio and so is my food, what the?

Here is a link to a recent radio show on WORT here in Madison. The reporter attended a raw food potluck that I attended at Hoyt park in Madison. Pretty cool and very informational. Notice that the scientist states that very few studies have been done on the raw food diet and the study that states that starches and proteins are more easily digested is doing just that. Raw vegans do not focus on protein, we would rather have raw amino acids in the form of enzymes which the whole radio program misses. Watch the protein myth and educate yourself, the human body is it's own best defense system, it just needs to have what it needs to have and that is living food.
