“The Benefits of Systemic Enzymes” by Matt Monarch of www.therawfoodworld.com

I go into depth about systemic enzymes in both this video and article below…

All of the Healing Health Food Institutes that I know of help people heal from various degenerative diseases. The three most common tools these Institutes use to assist healing are…helping a person improve their diet, cleansing the colon A LOT, and giving
everyone green juices (vegetable juice and/or wheatgrass).
I like to term this fabulous trio… the ‘Healing Antidote’.

Over the last couple of years, many of these
health institutes have started incorporating a fourth piece to the puzzle… Taking Systemic Enzymes on an empty stomach.
Also sometimes termed as ‘Therapeutic’ or ‘Metabolic’ Enzymes,
these ‘Systemic’ Enzymes have the potential to expedite the
healing process. Generally, people usually think of enzymes
as a digestive agent taken with food, which will help digest
the food being consumed. However, research shows that when
you take enzymes on an empty stomach, they go into the
metabolic processes of the body, which include healing
damage. I have heard many expert authorities on natural
healing state that taking systemic enzymes on an empty
stomach has the potential to help with dissolving cancerous
tumors. I have personally witnessed many people rid
themselves of cancerous tumors by utilizing systemic
enzymes in conjunction with a healthier dietary lifestyle.

I feel that the technological advancement of creating
systemic enzymes for human consumption is an example of
science at its BEST!!! Enzymes are catalysts and they are
responsible for accelerating positive chemical reactions in the
body. When they do this they retain their own structure and
do not become part of any action they perform. Working
as catalysts, enzymes group together any wandering
inactive molecules and transform these molecule
structures into new active-molecules that can be of
use to heal the body. Once an enzyme catalyzes one
group of molecules, making them active to help heal
the body, the enzyme then moves on to the next
group of inactive molecules. These “God-sent” enzymes
do not die out after one positive chemical reaction.
They keep going and going until their life force is
completely depleted.

These inactive wandering molecules at some point may be
of use to the body when they naturally connect with
whichever counterparts they need to become active,
however, with enzymes present, these reactions can
proceed much faster, sometimes a million-fold times
faster. As an anaology, I am in Arizona right now…
If I wanted to go to New York, I could walk, but if I were to take
an airplane, that airplane would act as a “catalyst” and
expedite my trip to NY 1000-fold or more.

All enzymes taken on an empty stomach will work to help the
body… even digestive enzymes. However, some enzymes are
much more POWERFUL than other enzymes. If you use
standard digestive enzymes, you will need A LOT more to
accomplish the same task compared to most systemic
enzyme blends on the market. The two most POWERFUL
enzymes that have the potential to help with inflammation and
tumors are serrapeptidase and nattokinase. I have witnessed
HUNDREDS of people utilize these enzymes with GREAT SUCCESS.

The recommended dosage for ‘maintenance’ with
our systemic enzyme blend is 1/2 a teaspoon, 2 – 3 times a
day. I personally am an ‘extremist’ and have built up to taking
over a teaspoon of enzymes on an empty stomach 2 – 3 times
a day. I have been taking these dosages for around two years
now. I know of some cancer patients who wanted to heal so
badly that they chose to take up to 5 tablespoons of these
systemic enzymes a day on an empty stomach, based on the
recommendation of their holistic practitioners.

I can give you example after example of how people have
expedited the process of their healing with these magical
sparkling catalysts. My friend from college healed herself
from PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) by
taking enzymes, drinking vegetable juice, cleansing the
colon, and improving her dietary lifestyle. The process
of healing herself so rapidly seemed to be miraculous,
and I feel that wouldn’t have happened SO QUICKLY
without the use of these systemic enzymes. You can read
about her story by clicking HERE, or watch the video up above.

Water, water everywhere

I live on the beautiful Tohickon Creek (ed. in Bucks County PA). The first year I lived here, that first Spring, I saw a variety of fish, turtles and a blue heron who makes his/her home a few yards downcreek from the house. In the Summer, when I walked the creek, I found shards on the creek floor from an old, now defunct, glass factory some small shells and beautiful stones. It was lovely. But something was wrong and I wouldn’t know what it was until four years later. Because, now when Spring comes there are otters, beavers, mussels and many many more fish and turtles. The problem was pollution and as the creek cleans up, life is returning to it. It is exciting, reaffirming and hope-filled to see nature return our waterways to vitality because water is essential for all life on this unique planet we inhabit….this planet we share with the Earth’s flora and fauna and, moreover, this planet that we are bound to protect.
Besides, we NEED water to have healthy minds, bodies, and spirit….never mind the rest of the Flora and Fauna. Lets get selfish here. We NEED water and it behooves us to be the stewards we’re meant to be for our sakes as well as for the rest of life. Selfish is good sometimes.

So lets read on about one of our most valuable assets.

Seeing Water

In the Journal of Active Aging, Sept. 2005, Dr. Oladele Ogunselian, a social ecologist talked abut the effect that water, trees, and flowers have on positive attitudes. He maintains that there is a positive link between a restorative environment and emotional well-being. His research has lead him to determine that bodies of water are one of the environmental features that are viewed as enhancing emotional health by subjects in the tests. Furthermore, in these studies, landscapes with complex designs were not seen as healing. the Term topophillia refers to a study of environmental perception, attitudes and values, including the emotional affective bond between environment and human beings. I suspect this may be true because there is a beautiful creek that flows past my house and it is a source of healing and peace to me and from what other say…well, I suspect it may be true.

Hearing Water
fountain The sound of water has a soothing effect on the human brain. There is an area in the human brain located near the brain stem called the inferior colliculus where cells respond to sound, (frequencies, rate and volume) and process the sounds and identify them. This area of the brain interprets these sounds sending signals to other parts of the brain causing neurological firings to occur. Water calms! Researchers Monti Escari and Heather Read are doing research on the effects of sounds, including the sounds of flowing water on brain function linking sounds with mental wellness. While they are doing their research we know that there are already CD’s of flowing, dripping, streaming and swirling water sounds, table top fountain and wall fountains are found in lobbies, living rooms, offices and even in the salon where I have my hair done. Very soothing. Close your eyes and think about lying on the beach, feeling the warmth of the sun and listening to the waves crashing on the sand. If it weren’t so soothing it would be intoxicating. And, the quantity of water oceanside provides an enormous amount of negative ions that creates a positive mental state. Why, there are even screensavers with pictures of water accompanied by the sounds to calm and sooth when you turn on your computer.

Drinking Water

More research. The brain is 85% water (although some say 78% but whose counting). Water regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to the blood, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, removes toxic waste and more. Dehydration leaves us tired, irritable and foggy, can lead to poor stress management, depression and can induce anxiety. (That 3:00pm slump??? Dehydration!) Furthermore, lace of water creaates a physical reduction of the ionic composition of the fluid surrounding brain cells or neurons which swirls the brain into over activity resulting in a headache.

Feeling Water: Warm water when it is cold outside, cool wataer on a hot day. Doesn’t get better than that. But more good news about water. When I have been exposed to toxic energy I just get in the shower and let the water carry the negative energy down the drain, into the earth, were I belive and hope it get neutralized. Its a little like washing your energy field. Another benefit from being in water is that it removes the pull of gravity relieving your body of stress and physical weight on joints, muscles and tendons. So showering in the morning starts the day our refreshed. If it was a hard day take another soapless shower at night, (don’t want to dry your skin out) and float any chance you get.

Water abounds in our lives so use it to provide the mental and physical well-being it offers. The Center for Personal Reflection also is a resource for mental and physical well-being for individuals and couples. As you plan out your strategy for continued growth please avail yourselves of all the Center offers. Stay well.

Practitioners and businesses in the healthy nutrition and food business provide dietary education and guidance on the restoration and maintenance of health using dietary balance, and if necessary, nutritional supplementation. As an example, practitioners might recommend regular doses of vitamins to maintain health, as well as using high dosages of vitamins under certain circumstances. They will also concentrate on identifying food sensitivities and subtle nutritional deficiencies, and recommending individually tailored diets using whole, unprocessed foods.

More and more consumers also want to know where their food comes from. People are wanting to eat local and are patronizing food establishments that buy fresh and local. Buying local helps local businesses and cuts down on transportation emissions creating a win-win-win for businesses, consumers and the environment.

Organically Grown, Naturally Raised and Non-GMO Food – Eating fruits, vegetables and grains that are grown without pesticides, herbicides and that are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) is a good idea. Also eating meats that are raised naturally and humanely is better for your overall nutritional needs.

Intuitive (Mindful) Eating
Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body–where you ultimately become the expert of your own body. You learn how to distinguish between physical and emotional feelings, and gain a sense of body wisdom. It’s also a process of making peace with food—so that you no longer have constant “food worry” thoughts. It’s knowing that your health and your worth as a person does not change because you ate a so-called “bad” or “fattening” food.

Macrobiotic Education
Includes natural principles of diet and lifestyle, which includes focusing on locally grown and seasonal foods, as well as organically grown foods. Made popular in the 70’s from its founder Misio Kushi. Teachers teach principles of cooking, food combination as well as exercise and hygiene practices.

Herbal Medicine–Herbology
Herbal Medicine is the most ancient form of health care known to mankind,and herbs have been used in all cultures and are integral to the practiceof medicine throughout history. In general, herbal medicines work in muchthe same way conventional pharmaceutical drugs–via their chemical makeup.Herbs contain a large number of naturally occurring chemicals which havebiological activity. Extensive scientific documentation now existsconcerning their use for health conditions, including heart disease,cancer, HIV, PMS, insomnia, indigestion, and many others.

Nutritional Testing
Nutritional practitioners can determine individual biochemistry and nutritional status byutilizing many new preventive diagnostic procedures, such as nutrition assessment and risk analysis factor. These include physiological data, personal and family health history, dietary intake analysis, and scientifically biochemical screenings.
Nutritional Supplementation Education Employing vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other similar substances to create optimum nutritional content and balance in the body.

Raw Food Diets
Raw food is essentially food as nature intended. Eating unprocessed, natural foods is being rediscovered as life giving, rejuvenating, healing and energy boosting. A raw diet will lean on nuts, fruits, grains, vegetables, pure oils, and sprouted seeds. Often, raw foods are blended, grated, chopped, juiced, mixed and dehydrated in preparation. They do not see temperatures above 105° F generally. This preserves all of natures intended goodness including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and energy.

Eating raw is simply consuming foods that are not heated. It is eating food as nature intended: naturally grown, naturally harvested, unprocessed. Raw diets are catching on because the benefits are understood, although not touted on your local news. And big business doesn’t want us to know that the healthiest foods are essentially untouched, that is, not processed under heat or with chemicals, additives and preservatives.
