Pancreatic enzyme therapy is successfully applied in the treatment of variety of disease conditions, including inflammation, viral disease, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.

Inflammation: Inflammation is a reaction of the body to noxious stimuli, when it rids itself of harmful substances. The classical signs of inflammation are pain, redness, swelling, and heat. Once inflammation takes place, however, curing can begin. With sports injuries, enzymes are used to promote inflammation in order to quicken curing, and if injury occurs, athletics can  take them before performing in order to promote faster curing. 

Viral Diseases: Viruses have a protein coat, and enzymes are able to initiate reactions that can digest this protective layer, and thus, destroy the viruses. Enzymes also help in the removal of CIC's that are abundant in viral disease. Research also indicates that enzymes are beneficial in the treatment of herpes zoster (shingles), particularly in patients with immune deficiencies. And enzymes can in part counteract the decreased immune function of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection.

Multiple Sclerosis: The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown, but research had shown that demyelination (reduction of the fatty covering of the nerves) occurs. Dr. Solorzano recalls a wheelchair-bound patient diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. No traditional treatment had helped for him. Within one month after trying pancreatic enzyme therapy, the patient gained strength and could dress himself. After three months, he could work with difficulty, and within six months his symptoms disappeared and he was able to resume a normal, productive life.

Cancer: Pancreatic enzymes can help in the treatment of cancer in several ways. Enzymes help expose antigens on the surface of cancer cells, so they can be recognized as foreign and destroyed by the immune system. They also help destroy CIC's produced when cancerous cells shed their antigens into the circulation to avoid detection by the immune system. Pancreatic enzymes can stimulate natural killer cells, T-cells, and tumor necrosis factor (anticancer agents), all toxic to cancer cells.

  According to Dr. Solorzano, by removing the "sticky" coating found on tumor cells, enzymes reduce the risk of tumors adhering to other areas of the body (i.e., preventing metastasis). And pancreatic enzymes can enter cancer cells in their reproductive phase when they are not completely formed and more susceptible to destruction. Vitamin A  releases enzymes contained in lysosomes (components of the intercellular digestive system), and is often given in combination with pancreatic enzymes. In Germany, pancreatic enzyme solutions have been injected directly into tumors, causing them to dissolve.
