OXYGEN, ENZYMES, AND HEALING
Enzymes are “life-catalysts.” In Oxygen Kingdom, enzymes may
be seen as mediators of living reactions. In my Grease-and
Detergent Model of Healing, enzymes act as efficient
detergents. This is, simply stated, the scientific basis
and/or rationale for my liberal use of robust enzyme
therapies in the care of people with various chronic
disorders and cancer.
Foods are digested—broken down, in common vernacular—by
enzymes. Cells develop, differentiate, and live by
oxygen-driven enzymes. These substances also detoxify
metabolic and environmental pollutants. At another level, no
healing is possible without inflammation and no inflammatory
response can be mounted without enzymes..
Blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids clot and un-clot at
all times. One family of enzymes catalyzes clotting and may
be called coagulative (clotting) enzymes, whereas another
family is responsible for un-clotting and may be designated
as un-clotting (proteolytic) enzymes. In health, the
functionalities of clotting and un-clotting enzymes are
exquisitely orchestrated to maintain equilibrium, such that
microscopic clots in small numbers can be seen in those
fluids only with high-resolution microscopes. That
equilibrium is disrupted in cancer.
All unhealthy cells produce excess cellular grease and
increase clotting in all biologic fluids. They do so by
producing prodigious amounts of acids and free radicals that
solidify proteins in those fluids. It is important to
realize that proteins in the body are found linked to fats
(lipoproteins) and sugars (glycoproteins), so that
solidification of proteins, in reality, is precipitation of
lipoproteins and glycoproteins respectively. This process is
analogous to solidification of Jello powder in water.
Clotting is one of the potent weapons which cancer cells use
to suffocate—and devitalize and eventually kill—normal cells
in their vicinity. It is for this reason that I consider
prevention of abnormal clotting of bodily fluids as a
crucial in cancer treatment. I refer readers interested in
more information on this subject to my book TThe Crab Oxygen and Cancer: The Oxygen Protocol
(2007), the chapter entitled “A cancer cell Cocoons
Itself—Then De-Cocoons.”
From the standpoint of clinical medicine, enzymes are
classified according to: (1) the reactions they catalyze;
(2) the substances they act upon; (3) the acid/alkali
conditions under which they operate; and (4) the metabolic
function they serve. In the context of cancer treatment, the
following four families of enzymes are most important:
·
Oxyenzymes (enzymes that are directly involved with
functionalities of oxygen in cells);
·
Digestive enzymes;
·
Proteolytic (clot-busting) enzymes; and
·
Detoxification enzymes
Other enzymes of interest are those involved with the repair
and healing processes, and death squad enzymes called
caspases.
Pottinger’s Cats and 7 ps
From 1930-42, Dr. Francis Pottenger, Jr., a veterinarian of
Monrovia, California examined the effects of food enzymes on
the development of cancer in 900 cats over a period of 10
years. He claimed to have not encountered a single case of
cancer in cats fed only uncooked foods, while cancer was
common among his cats given cooked foods. To honor his work,
I offer the readers the following listing of enzymes of
special interest in cancer treatment:
·
Pancreatic pancreatin
·
Pineapple bromelain
·
Papaya papain
·
Pepsin
·
Proteases
·
Peroxidases (glutathione peroxidase and others)
·
Pectinase for digesting pectin
Enzyme Therapies
I offer the following simplified version of various
measures/therapies that fall under the broader rubric of
enzyme therapies as components of the Oxygen Protocol for
cancer treatment:
Conservation of enzymes
·
Divinity
·
Optimal hydration
·
Nutritional measures to prevent
sugar/insulin/adrenaline/neurotransmitter metabolic roller
coasters
Regeneration of enzymes
·
oxygen homeostasis
·
Restoration of the
bowel, blood, and
liver ecosystems
Supplementation of Enzymes
·
Plant-based
·
Animal based
·
Major options:
·
Pineapple bromelain
·
Papaya papain
·
Kinases from fermented soy
Below are two of my preferred enzyme formulations:
Enzymes for GERD, Gastritis, and Colitis
Pancreatin 100 mg
Papain 50 mg
Amylase 50 mg
Lipase 50 mg
Protease 50 mg

and Other Soft Tissue inflammations
Bromelain 500 mg
