success. There was no damage to the intestinal mucosa as there usually is in this disease.*' Furthermore, the protein portion was not altered. This shows once again the specificity of substrate which enzymes display. One of the exciting factors resulting from enzyme therapy comes from a study out of Austria.” It was shown that pancreatic enzymes as well as the constituents bromelain and papain stimulated the production of tumour necrosis factor. Tumour necrosis factor is a cytokine (a non-antibody protein which act as an intercellular mediator in an immune response) capable of haemorrhagic necrosis (destruction) of tumours and can exert cytostatic and cytotoxic activity on transformed cell lines. In other words, enzymes not only digest foreign objects but they can activate other protein products of the immune system to destroy undesirable growths in the body. Although the above references represent only a small number of studies, it can be seen that enzymes have a therapeutic role for many disorders. Other studies include treating autism, sports injury, herpes infection, cancer and auto-immune disease.***+***7 Dr Howell believed supplemental enzymes are important not only for health and longevity but as a type of insurance. As we grow older, our bodies do not produce as many enzymes as when we were children or young adults. What better way to ensure our health into old age than to eat enzyme-rich foods and supplement with enzymes where needed? Clinical studies are generally funded by the pharmaceutical companies for the profits of shareholders, and tend not to be con- ducted for purely altruistic reasons. Furthermore, there is little interest in natural products because they cannot be synthesised and patented—at least not in the USA. We are living in quite a crazy world where anyone can buy and implement various biological and chemical threats. Anthrax and smallpox are only the tip of the iceberg of the dangers we face. As has been written in previous issues of this magazine, there are forces interested in creating chaos—only to hand us a solu- tion, but at a very great trade-off. I believe that enzymes offer mankind the greatest hope of preventing and treating the threats we may face in the coming years. I also encourage you to take up this call to educate yourself in all available material from reliable sources to keep your family and loved ones safe and healthy. 0 Supplemental Enzymes for Health and Longevity sources to keep your family and loved ones s While changing over to a raw food diet (or nearly an all raw food diet) is desirable, this requires discipline.
