If you have an Autoimmune Disease (Like Fibromyalgia, MS, or Chrohn’s, etc.), then I know a secret about you. You most likely have an enzyme shortage. You may be thinking to yourself that an enzyme can’t be as bad as being short on cash or short on time. The fact is that an enzyme shortage does make you short on time!
Every single chemical action that takes place in the body REQUIRES enzymes. According to experts, a person’s life span is directly related to your enzymes. In other words, your enzyme deficiency is shortening your time on Earth.
You need enzymes to be healthy. The pancreas produces enzymes. If you suffer from autoimmunity, then your poor pancreas is overworked and underpaid. The pancreas of a person with autoimmunity is not able to keep up with the job.
Besides the pancreas, where else are we supposed to get these enzymes? From fresh, raw food. When was the last time you ate fresh, raw food? If you are cooking or processing any of your food, you should take enzymes with that food. (Enzymes are available in supplement form.) Some enzymes include: Papain, Amylase, Cellulase, Lactase, Lipase, Protease, and Bromelain.
On a personal note: Like nothing else I have ever tried, digestive enzymes quiet Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
