Enzyme therapy can help restore health and well-being by healing digestive problems. Plant enzymes and pancreatic enzymes are used in additional ways to improve digestion and absorption of essential nutrients. Treatment includes enzyme supplements, coupled with a healthy diet that features whole foods.

  Enzymes provide the stimulus, for every chemical reaction that occurs in the body.  Edward Howell, M.D., was the first who introduced enzyme therapy in the United States. He states that enzymes are substances that make life possible. No mineral, vitamin, or hormone can do any work without enzymes. They are the manual workers that build the body from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The body may have the raw building materials, but without the "workers", it cannot begin.

 

  Both plant-derived and pancreatic enzymes are employed in enzyme therapy and they can be used independently or in combination. Plant enzymes are prescribed to enhance the body's vitality by strengthening the digestive system, while pancreatic enzymes are beneficial to both the digestive system and immune system. As proper digestive functioning is restored, many acute and chronic conditions may also be cured.
