Food Enzymes for Health

February 2011

"Nature's plan calls for food enzymes to help with digestion instead of forcing the body's digestive enzymes to carry the whole workload. If food enzymes do some of the work, according to the Law of Adaptive Secretion of Enzymes, the enzyme potential can allot less activity to digestive enzymes and have more to give to the hundreds of metabolic enzymes that run the body. If food enzymes did some of the work, the enzyme potential would not be facing bankruptcy, as it is now in the bodies of millions of people on the minus diet—food minus its enzymes. If the human organism must devote a large portion of its enzyme potential to making digestive enzymes, it spells trouble for the whole body because there is a strain on the production of metabolic enzymes and there may not be enough enzyme potential to go around. If humans take in more exogenous (outside) digestive enzymes, as nature ordained, the enzyme potential will not have to waste so much of its heritage digesting food. It can distribute more of this precious commodity to metabolic enzymes where it rightfully belongs."

-The late Dr. Edward Howell, M.D.
