\n\t\"insomnia\"<\/a>Enzymes are one of two things you need to break down food.  That, and hydrochloric acid (HCl).\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBut what happens when you’re enzyme deficient?  Food enzyme deficiency has been speculated as a major cause of many chronic diseases.  In fact, it's one of the best-kept secrets to solving and preventing disease!\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEnzyme nutrition therapy is not something you’ll get<\/strong> at your doctor’s office, because they’re simply not trained in how to do it in med school, yet it’s just as life-saving and life-changing as anything a doctor can do for you.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFood enzymes are found in all living things, including raw food.  We have to have enzymes.  Without them, you’d be dead!  They’re responsible for all basic metabolic functions, including thyroid metabolism, protein metabolism and the regulation of healthy cells.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd most of the enzymes we need come from food.  Unfortunately though, they are removed from food<\/strong> in order to extend shelf-life.  As a result, essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals are removed too, causing people to experience symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation, acid reflux, chronic pain, low energy, sore joints, even things like insomnia and depression!\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFood enzymes are thus considered essential nutrients and have been approved by the FDA as food supplements for over 75 years.  Food, or plant-based, enzymes deliver nutrients past an incompetent gut because they’re able to digest food in the stomach and break it down in the “pre-digestive” phase of digestion, thereby taking stress off the intestines, pancreas, and throughout the entire digestive process.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNote: There is no nutritional supplement than can replace food enzymes.  Pancreatic, or animal enzymes, cannot perform the same function due to varying pH’s.  The use of antacids and proton pump inhibitors actually retard digestion<\/strong> and cause devastating long-term side effects.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, 99% of doctors are unaware<\/strong> of the dietary importance of food enzymes.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t[bctt tweet=”Food enzyme deficiencies develop due to unresolved structural, nutritional or emotional stress,”] which causes an increased need to meet increased demands.  If prolonged, nutrient deficiencies result, which produce cravings and overeating.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHence, it’s not<\/u> just because you have no willpower!\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn turn, the body’s digestive capabilities become exhausted, which stresses bowel elimination too.  Toxicity and inflammation appear as evidenced by signs of fever, redness, swelling, and pain<\/strong>, overloading the immune system, and culminating in chronic, debilitating and unresolved health problems.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo correct it, you must:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tEliminate or reduce stressors, dietary, structural or emotional.\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tFix your gut so that you get more nutrients than not!\n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tRestore normal elimination and prevent high toxicity levels in your gut and bowels.\n\t<\/li>\n
  4. \n\t\tRelieve any symptoms of inflammation and repair damaged tissue with the use of metabolic enzymes between meals.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tMedicine considers the following conditions functional disorders, not diseases, and therefore has great difficulty with their diagnosis and treatment whereas natural health practitioners consider them pre-disease conditions<\/strong> related to food enzyme deficiencies:\n<\/p>\n
