We inherited an enzyme reserve at birth and this quantity is decreased as time goes by from an enzyme deficient diet. As we become enzyme deficient, we age faster. The more we store up our enzyme reserve, the healthier we'll be.
A nursing mother provides her baby with all the enzymes he needs to digest her milk. Have you ever noticed that the stool of a breast-fed baby doesn't stink? It's only when a baby starts eating cooked, processed food that his stool begins to stink.
This happens because the cooked food won't digest properly and travels, undigested, into the small intestine. (Once we cook food at high temperatures of 118 degrees F. or more, enzymes are destroyed and no longer work.) It's the beginning of the toxemia cycle (undigested food putrefying in the bowel tract that continues to poison the blood), which is the root of all disease.
Do you understand what that means? It means we're poisoning our own bodies through undigested food!
It's been estimated that 80% of diseases are caused by improperly digested foods and their by-products being absorbed into the body ("Survival into the 21st Century" by Viktoras Kulvinskas).
In my life, I have met three people who have cured themselves from cancer by eating everything raw. One of them had been given only six months to live, but thirty years later he was still around and had not been sick again since changing his food habits. At the time I met those people, I did not know that much about food, but now I know that their cure is largely related to the presence of enzymes in raw food. It is the lack of enzymes in processed and cooked foods that burdens our bodies and causes a variety of health problems. This article is an introduction to this very important health issue.
Enzymes are the key to life. No enzymes, no life. We destroy all the digestive enzymes in our food by cooking and baking, and thus the body has to draw the necessary enzymes to digest this dead food from the body organs which in turn become unbalanced. All processed foods are also void of enzymes. Research has shown that this might be a cause of a lot of degenerative diseases. Fortunately eating raw food and/or taking enzyme supplements can help to restore our health.

Stroke Patient Recovery - Home Therapy & Rehabilitation
Enzyme may help dissolve blood clots in stroke patients
16 March 2016 - Cardiovascular scientists from KU Leuven Campus Kulak Kortrijk have shown that the ADAMTS13 enzyme can dissolve blood clots blocking the blood flow to the brain. Their discovery may open up new possibilities for the treatment of stroke patients.
For proper functioning of our brain, a continuous blood supply to the brain is essential. When a blood clot blocks an artery that supplies blood to the brain, an ischemic stroke occurs. This type of stroke often causes permanent brain damage. Ischemic strokes are among the leading causes of death and permanent disability in Western society.
Only one treatment is currently available to dissolve blood clots in the brain: administering the substance t-PA in time. Unfortunately, this treatment only works in a fairly limited number of patients.
Professor Simon De Meyer and Frederik Denorme from the KU Leuven Laboratory for Thrombosis Research have now discovered that stroke-causing blood clots can be significantly different in terms of composition, which explains why the t-PA doesn’t always work.
“The key is in the blood proteins”, Professor De Meyer explains. “Some blood clots are rich in fibrin, and these clots can be broken down with t-PA. Others clots, however, contain relatively large amounts of a protein called von Willebrand Factor (VWF). This protein is insusceptible to t-PA.”
With this knowledge, the researchers went one step further by using ADAMTS13, an enzyme that, unlike T-PA, has an impact on von Willebrand Factor. “We administered ADAMTS13 to mice with VWF-rich blood clots”, Professor De Meyer continues. “We noticed that it made the clot in the brain dissolve quickly. The rapid breakdown of a blood clot can restore the blood flow to the brain and limit brain damage.”
Given the current limitations in the treatment of stroke patients, new insights into breaking down blood clots are particularly valuable. Further research will have to show whether the study can help improve therapies for patients who’ve had ischemic stroke.
