Should the need for one be indicated, please consult a health professional
and qualify them by asking “Do you believe that healthy recovery plans will
only ultimately succeed with the inclusion of enzymes and nutrition as part of
those plans?”

Foreword
M y book is about enzymes, one of the prime ingredients for the basic
biology of life and therefore health.
I am Robert Redfern, a Nutrition Researcher, and I have written this book to
publicise a substance that may help you to recover from serious diseases
and recover your good health. The stars of this book are called enzymes, also
known as active proteins. The Super Star Enzyme, which is discussed in detail
later, is an called Serrapeptase.
Enzymes are proteins that are the catalyst for life. Without them life (and
therefore health) would not exist as we know it. Even Oxygen needs enzymes
to be released into the atmosphere. Their importance to health cannot be
overestimated and you are going to learn that they are the prime tools in
regaining health from the majority of health problems. Without proper
and appropriate enzyme activity, there can be no return to health. This is
recognised by every medical doctor and is well known to those that use
them as the front line in health care.
Enzymes are used in every facet of industry: making beer, cheese, leather
processing, sauerkraut, fermented soy products like miso and tempeh,
food processing and in many chemical processes. Even in the medical
business, enzymes and enzyme activity are used in the analysis and
manufacturing process.
Fact: Only enzymes, nutrition and lifestyle provide Health Care
Fact: Drugs only ever provide Diseases Management
The problem comes when enzymes are put forward for therapy and to
replace patented drugs. Enzymes as a primary treatment are only ignored
because they negate the need for the majority of expensive patented drugs
and this is against the interests of the medical/pharmaceutical business
(more about this later). The medical/pharmaceutical business controls what
treatments doctors are allowed to prescribe, using powerful marketing and
sometimes, downright intimidation. This is not a book to ‘knock doctors’;
they are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. I personally know
of many doctors who prescribe enzymes and nutrients for health recovery,
but they only do it quietly to avoid trouble from the medical/pharmaceutical
business. The rest may succumb to the expensive marketing and also
pressure from patients who are impressed by the press release promising the
next ‘Wonder Drug’.
In this book we are going to look at a range of plant derived enzymes
(although animal derived enzymes may have some lesser benefit). Plant
derived enzymes are the type that work best in humans, according to the last
100 years of studies. There are a number of enzymes found in living plants
and three basic types are:
• Protease (Proteolytic) – will digest differing types of proteins.
• Amylase (Amilolytic) – will digest starches.
• Lipase (Lipolytic) – will digest Fats

About the Author
R obert’s interest in health started when he and his wife Anne decided to
take charge of their family’s health in the late 80’s. Up until 1986, Robert did
not take much notice of his health - in spite of Anne’s loving persuasion. It took
the premature death of his parents, Alfred and Marjorie, who died in their 60’s,
to shock Robert into evaluating his priorities.
They looked at the whole field of health, available treatments and the causes of
health problems. They found, from doctors researching the causes of disease,
that lifestyle and diet were the most important contributions to Health.
They researched the benefits of acupuncture and together developed the
HealthPoint, the world’s foremost electronic acupressure device. This was
based upon the electronic waveform research of Dr. Julian Kenyon MD. This has
become the Gold Standard Electro-Acupressure device and is now successfully
used by tens of thousands of users throughout the world and in many UK
hospitals by Physiotherapists.
Robert and Anne changed their lifestyle and diet and, together with the use of
HealthPoint, the improvement to their health became remarkable. As well as
good health, they feel and look younger and more energetic than all those years
ago - before they started their plan. Robert is now nearly 60 and, together with
Anne, is still planning to look younger with continuing care.
Enzymes have been a major part of their life for nearly ten years after reading a
book by Dr Edward Howell, ‘Enzyme Nutrition, The Food Enzyme Concept’
This filled in some of the gaps as to why just taking nutrition did not give the full
benefit for everyone.
Over the past 10 years, tens of thousands of people have followed the plans and
the majority that stayed with the program have reaped tremendous benefit.
This book shows you how to resolve most of the common diseases using
enzymes and other lifestyle changes. To the extent that you follow them, you
will be amazed how healthy you can become.

Serrapeptase - The New Wonder Enzyme?
T his ‘rising star’ enzyme is relatively new on the scene (only 30 years of
studies and use by doctors in Europe and Asia) but Serrapeptase is set to
become the biggest star of all time, as you will soon find out.
Serrapeptase – a Protease Type Enzyme that stops inflammation and
dissolves non-vital tissue.
As an anti-inflammatory, nothing surpasses the ability of Serrapeptase to
safely stop inappropriate (sometimes it is needed) inflammation its tracks.
No matter the cause or the location (it even crosses the blood brain barrier),
Serrapeptase gets to work stopping the inflammation. If that is not enough,
it has the ability to dissolve any dead or non-living tissue that may be
gumming up the works, particularly mucus and inflammation associated
with pain.
Over the past 30 years studies and practitioners’ observations have shown
benefits in a huge range of conditions, including: Arthritis, Inflammatory
Migraines/Headaches, Chest Problems such as Bronchitis, Asthma,
Bronchiectasis, Sinus, Blocked Arteries, Fibrocystic Breast Disease, Breast
engorgement and Cancers.
The book is in two sections:
a. The first part of this guide explains how enzymes, and particularly
Serrapeptase enzymes, work and gives you the information you need to
understand why it will work for your condition.
b. The second part shows you a clear action plan to clear disease from your
body, prevent its return and maintain Health & Fitness For Life.

1. Introduction:
a. Enzymes, what Enzymes are catalysts and are made out of amino acids by RNA (RiboNucleic Acid)
which is made by DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid). Some people call them ‘active
are they? proteins’. This activity means they make things happen. (Imagine a factory with
lots of equipment and raw materials, nothing much happens without workers to
make it all happen. These are the same as enzymes, look after them and they will
do a great job. Enzymes need a specific temperature and PH (measure of acidity/
alkalinity) to perform their work. Enzymes from plants work best at the human
body’s temperature and PH. They are essential in every function of growth, repair

Robert Redfern critical vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B12. Even a small deficiency in B12
results in disease. This becomes such a problem with elderly people on poor diets
that they at times need injections.
Another Co-Enzyme, Zinc is needed by about 80 enzyme activities, not to mention
the famous Co-Enzyme Q10. Without enzymes and co-enzymes there would be
no living thing, as we know it. Grass, Trees, Insects, Germs, Animals and Humans
all depend on enzymes to sustain growth and health. In a nutshell:
page 11
Enzymes are the workers in your body - they carry out every chemical reaction. To
have a healthy body you need both workers (enzymes) and building materials. The
building materials are proteins (amino acids), minerals, and vitamins. All of these
are necessary to build a healthy body. Trying to function without all the necessary
enzymes is the reason for most body malfunctions.
There are seven categories of food enzymes:
(1) Lipase to break down fat
(2) Protease to break down protein
(3) Cellulase to break down fibres
(4) Amylase to break down starch;
(5) Lactase to break down dairy foods;
(6) Sucrase to break down sugars; and
(7) Maltase to break down grains.
There are two ways to preserve and replenish our enzyme level:
• Eating living foods & food supplements
• Taking enzyme supplements.
c. Where do they On a daily basis they are ingested in unprocessed, raw or lightly cooked food
(called Exogenous or Food Enzymes) and they are also produced or converted by
come from? other enzymes inside the body (endogenous, meaning inside-created). Some have
a long life (weeks) and some have a short life (minutes). This explains the obvious
need for a daily intake of enzymes that are alive (meaning not microwaved,
cooked or processed until enzyme death, as in pasteurised milk) and foods such as
vegetables, fruits, raw or lightly cooked fish, meats and sprouted seeds and beans.
Studies show that a 70 year old has only 20% of the enzymes found in the body of
a 20 year old. This is a major part of the cause of age related diseases and is easy to
correct with better food and supplementation.
d. Have they Probably more that any other facet of life and health over the past 100 years. In
1930 only 80 enzymes were known. By 2000 3,000 enzymes had been researched
any scientific and discovered. There are literally thousands of studies on enzymes’ contribution
studies? to life and health. Rheumatoid Arthritis, Cancer, Lung diseases all have studies
showing enzyme therapy to be the most successful prime treatment. See the
appendix for lists of studies.
e. Are they safe? In studies equivalent to a human taking thousand of tablets, no side effects were
shown. Only Haemophilia patients would need to take them under supervision.
f. Why do doctors Many do. There are many doctors who have changed completely and now practise
health care (Lifestyle and Nutrition) as opposed to disease management (drugs
not prescribe and surgery). They are unfortunately a tiny minority and the majority of doctors
them? will only practise ‘healthcare’ when the system is taken out from the control of the
medical/pharmaceutical business that only can see profit in diseases management.

me from Southport and reported that after using this for breast cysts, her doctors
had given her the all clear.
The first dramatic effect that I experienced was with a man in his 60’s who had been
a heavy smoker for many years. His wife wheeled him from a special van and into
my pharmacy. He was very breathless in his voice and was difficult to understand
because he has emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
These are considered to be irreversible damage to the linings of the lungs usually
caused by smoking or toxic environments. Whereas asthma may be considered
reversible, COPD is an irreversible disease. Normally with this, the only thing we
can do is to relieve or help, with say an oxygen tank or sprays to open the airways,
or steroid sprays that help to stop inflammation. This man said he had heard me
on the BBC Radio Program talking about the studies saying that it had helped to
maintain the airways of people with breathing problems by helping to breakdown
the damaged tissue that had built up over their lifetime, whether due to smoking or
things like working with chemicals. He told me he was on sprays, on oxygen and on
antibiotics every two weeks as he was always getting bad infections and breathlessly
“He started to feel so he told me he wanted to try Serrapeptase. To begin with, he took two 20,000IU

this 6’ tall person who had been in a wheelchair previously, had marched out of his
van, no wife with him, no wheelchair with him and spoke to me in a clear voice.
He told me that in the early days so much rubbish was coming up that he thought
his lungs might be disintegrating, but he soon realised that it was a big clearout
underway. He started to feel so much better and he was no longer on Antibiotics,
no longer on oxygen cylinders and he was no longer using his sprays. He was still
smoking and he had booked a holiday to go to Benidorm, in Spain in March 2002.
He is still a regular visitor to the shop to get supplies; he brings other people along,
he buttonholes other people in the shop and praises Serrapeptase if he hears them
ask about it. He is still so thrilled after 2 years of feeling good.
This story related on the radio has given many people encouragement, who have
gone onto the programme themselves and been given a much better quality of life
than they thought possible. Many of these who are smokers, and at that point have
only a chesty cough, do not realise how it can easily develop into COPD and by
taking the Serrapeptase are keeping it at bay.
All smokers should realise that no matter how pleasurable addictive smoking is,
there are many chemicals and toxins in the smoke. Their quality of life, and possibly
their life, is in the balance (40% of all deaths are from lung diseases).
Support from your pharmacist with nicotine patches and Serrapeptase may
change those outcomes.
I mentioned before the world famous heart surgeon, Dr Hans Napier, from
Germany who died in 1998. He presented to a press conference in Germany the
results of his work treating people who had blocked arteries, using the enzyme
Serrapeptase. He reported that he was able to cancel the operations for double,
triple and even quadruple bypasses. He presented two former gymnasts who in
their 70’s were scheduled for by-pass operations, suffering from cardiovascular
disease, as they could ‘hardly walk across the room’. He reported that he was able
page 14
to cancel, because their arteries were now clear. To make the point, the gymnasts
proceeded to do cartwheels across the floor in front of the journalist.
When I related this information on the radio, many people started to take it for
that. Three gentlemen, all scheduled for by-pass operations within a few months,
contacted me to tell me their stories; one 69 year old Morecambe man, one 74 year
old Chadderton man, and the other Rochdale man was also in his seventies. All
three have been reporting back to me over the past 2 years and all three have had

do work, but when the person stops they can get what we call a rebound effect
that means it can come back again with a vengeance. With the Serrapeptase, it is
working in a different way and making the mucus material both in the sinuses and
the back of the throat, with the lungs and especially with asthma, much thinner,
which allows the body to dissolve it out quickly. It also stops the inflammation

Mrs Jones takes up the story: “We were going on a coach holiday to Slovenia
when this pain really flared up. The doctor prescribed an anti inflammatory, but
the side effects were disastrous and my husband stopped taking them.”
Returning to another doctor for a cortisone injection, Mr Jones was told that

From Wheelchair To Wings
‘Ripples on water, the texture and detail of the natural world, the myriad
shapes of leaves and plants: because of my poor eyesight I never expected
to see these beauties. They were hidden to me, or limited to my imagination
based on friends’ descriptions. Now everything has changed and I am seeing
the world with fresh eyes.’
This poetic description of Mike Tawse’s regained sight marked a significant chapter
and perhaps the most astonishing in his Serrapeptase Adventure. He describes a
visit to the Lake District as a day ‘full of visual surprises’
‘The idea of texture being visible, as well as tactile, has never made much sense
to me before. Not only was I seeing the beauty of England but everyday objects,
which I used to know only by touch, in completely new ways. It was the first time I
have been able to use my fresh new eyesight for pure pleasure.’
Mike’s Serrapeptase Adventure has now entered its fourth year, relating his
incredible journey, one that has taken him from a purgatory of illness to the joy of
health. “I feel like two different people,” he says. “I can now talk about that person
who was ill from the point of view of the person who is positively not ill.”
This is an inspiring story of one man’s determination to beat the odds and of those
who helped him achieve what once seemed impossible goals. Mike Tawse’s victory
over his life-limiting health condition even persuaded Robert Redfern to rename
his book The ‘Miracle Enzyme is Serrapeptase’.
Robert at Naturally Healthy Publications is responsible for the Serrapeptase
formulations marketed by Good Health Naturally. In the 2006
summer edition of Serrapeptase News he wrote:
“...everything has “I have renamed my book ‘The Miracle Enzyme is Serrapeptase.”

‘If you have read my book and followed my newsletters,
Mike Tawse you may realise why I am so enthusiastic about this
enzyme. I was finally convinced not only to change the
name of the book, but also to create a web site, www.
themiracleenzyme.com to go with it, when the story
of the then 36-year-old Mike Tawse first surfaced.
‘Mike, a cerebral palsy sufferer since birth,
revealed that life was so bad at the end of
2005 he felt he could not endure another
year on a multitude of prescription drugs
that hardly made a difference. I thought
I had heard it all, but his story impressed
me so much I knew that Serrapeptase was
deserving of the name, ‘The Miracle Enzyme.’’
Mike’s adventure story begins in December 2005. The scene is a small ground
floor flat near Manchester University. The 36 year old sits in his wheelchair - as he
has for the previous ten years - and wonders if he will have (or wants) another year
of life. He has had several transient ischaemic attacks (mini strokes), asthma, sinus
tachycardia and various digestive problems so severe that surgery had even been
considered, despite the potential risks.
He is now hardly able to speak, the fluid from his lungs nearly choking him, his
heart and lungs failing. His concerned friends are so anxious they have discussed
what arrangements he wants for his funeral.
page 23
Even at this low peak, Mike refuses to go along with this. He is not one to settle for
bad news. “Friends used to shout at me because I wouldn’t make a will? Did I know
something they didn’t? I’m not sure. Perhaps I was just bloody minded or scared.”
Mike was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and although he had battled to live a normal
life, went to school, went to college; the problems that accompany this condition
had overtaken his will. The medical professionals had gradually increased his
medication in a last-ditch attempt to keep him alive and all were failing. It appeared
that he would have only a few years before his body gave way under the strain.
“Friends used to

Mike Tawse Moved by the pain Mike was suffering, his friend suggested he give it a try. They
had no proof, but after much research decided there was nothing to lose. What
happened next shook Mike. In just a few days the pain diminished, his breathing
became easier and his lung capacity measurably improved by 300%.
He started a blog, which was to become an ongoing message of inspiration. As he
says: “The reason for putting my story out there was not so much for myself, but it
was worth it if just one person read it and was persuaded to try this route.”
page 24
‘The only major new development I have noticed is not dramatic, or quick, but it is very
exciting, at least to me. Since having surgery in 1984, I have had red keloid - raised,
irregular - scarring, which simply refused to reduce. Now, nearly twenty-two years
later, these scars appeared to be fading in colour and to smooth out a little. I have no
way of knowing how effective Serrapeptase will eventually be, but I am amazed to see
any improvement at all, after such a long time.’
Life was opening up to Mike in ways he had never dreamed. On April 12, 2006
his blog describes how he appeared on an American talk show called, ‘The Power
Hour’. Says Mike: “Joyce Riley, the show’s host, has a strong spiritual faith. One of
the questions she asked me was ‘Do you believe in miracles? I replied: ‘if I didn’t in
the past, I do now.”
In an earlier show a caller had enquired about helping someone with cerebral
palsy. Joyce interviewed Robert Redfern, who described Mike’s experience with
Serrapeptase. She subsequently invited them both onto the show in June 2006.
After Mike’s contribution was completed, Robert Redfern spoke of introducing
Mike to HealthPoint He said: “If I can add just a little bit more to his adventure
then I’m privileged.”
April 22, 2006 Mike happily reports that his condition is stable.

May 25, 2006. This is a celebratory blog as Mike describes his ‘first twenty steps’.
Mike Tawse
“For several weeks, I have been experimenting with standing, with crutches, but not
had the confidence to walk. After recovering from a stomach bug I got back on my feet
on 24th May thinking I would stand for a few minutes, and that would be that. After
about five minutes, my phone rang so, without conscious thought, I found I had taken
the 20 steps to answer it.
‘This might not seem much, but for me it might as well have been miles. It was yet another
sign I was regaining control over my condition instead of it having control over me.
‘Surgery in my teens had made it hard to walk, especially as I grew heavier. For many
years, I’d been unable to walk at all. Physiotherapists and a multitude of medics had
told me it was too dangerous for my heart and lungs to continue with any form of
mobilisation beyond a wheelchair, even the sort of exercise that many wheelchair
users are capable of.
page 26
Monday July 24th, the following day.
‘My local pharmacy finally collected all my old, unused medication. So now I suppose
it is official: a small step, but a great psychological boost.’
In October 2006, Robert and David visited Mike and recommended MaxiFocus™
for his failing eyesight, Curcumin98™ for his whole system, D-Ribose™ and a new
nutrient, Glyco8+™, to help regenerate his body. They spent most of the time
talking about the amazing impact that Serrapeptase continued to have on Mike.
page 27
‘This is one bit of the whole story nobody understands. Robert Redfern
described Serrapeptase as ‘the miracle enzyme’. It is a description I believe is
well deserved.’
On February 18 2008 Mike celebrated the anniversary of when he stopped his

rescued me” provide proof of what can be achieved when knowledge is shared as a gift.’
Mike Tawse Mike’s story is a blend of personal determination and the support of others.
It is one that begins in despair and illness and progresses to hope and health
through the fortuitous discovery of Serrapeptase and collaboration with
Naturally Healthy Publications’ Robert Redfern. The journey which began in
2005 has now reached the point where the unexpected becomes the accepted.
Throughout the past year Mike has continued his blog, recording his thoughts
on disability and charting further positive developments.
“My own experiences have taught me that living with a disability, whilst not
being dominated by it, requires a delicate blend of personal determination and
the support of others,” he says.
January 3rd 2008, marked the second anniversary of the day when Mike first
took Serrapeptase, ‘the first day of my third year of adventure. This was a day
which, just a few short years ago, I could not reasonably have expected to see.
On February 18th, another anniversary: the first full day of his third year without
prescription medication! ‘For me, this second anniversary of freedom from
prescription medication is, in some ways, even more significant’.
He adds: ‘I have recently discovered that many of the symptoms were known,
and even expected, side effects of all the prescription medications, which I took
before Serrapeptase rescued me.’
This was quite a momentous day for Mike because he also discovered he
could harness the power of HealthPoint, alone. ‘I am able to do this by means
of the ear clips which come with the machine, allowing me to overcome the
limitations of normal dexterity which are signatures of cerebral palsy.
Mike notes the ‘amazing level of relaxation’ comparable with that experienced
earlier in the expert hands of the Good Health Naturally team. ‘If it continues to
work as well, despite my lack of expertise, then I will be thrilled.’
On March 5th, Mike is musing on what has led to the remarkable improvement
in his eyesight, developed since November 2006. ‘I will be fascinated if a
definitive medical opinion ever emerges. I believe that the improvements in
my eyesight and visual perception are perhaps among the most remarkable
elements of My Serrapeptase Adventure.
Mike did a photo shoot in April, something which can present difficulties
for many people with spastic forms of cerebral palsy, he tells us. Because of
page 28
sufferers’ tendency to flinch and blink in response to the camera flash, it is hard
to obtain good quality photographs. Mike thanks photographer, Matt, for his
persistence and ingenuity. The results speak for themselves.
It was ‘Keep Fit’ time in June 2008 when Mike renewed his gym membership. A
month later there is a happy blog when, on 24th July he is allowed to use the
abdominal toning machine without supervision. This proves his core muscle
strength had improved immensely.
When In August 2008 the Great Britain Olympic team emerged with flying
colours, Mike blogged of his own triumph. As he watches the BBC’s coverage
of the sporting events he notices something very exciting. For the first time
he can recognise individual athletes and follow them as they move. Mike had
been commenting on his improved eyesight since November 2006, noting how
it had moved to ‘within normal range’ since 2007. But even he was surprised
by this alteration. As he says: ‘It is a real pleasure to be able to understand
what everyone around me is talking about when they try to convince me how
exciting their chosen sport can be.’
In late autumn, Mike was looking forward to the exciting challenges he felt certain
2009 would hold. Then in November, Joyce Riley of the Power Hour recorded
her personal view of his Serrapeptase Adventure, spanning the early days to the
present day. As Mike writes: ‘it reminded me of how My Serrapeptase Adventure
started. It was Joyce’s interview with Robert Redfern that gave me the information
I needed and the confidence to try Serrapeptase for the first time. This was long
before my eyesight became good enough to read the information for myself.’
They say life begins at forty. However, when you have been born with a
condition that has involved a multitude of drugs in an attempt to treat its
symptoms, attaining that age seems tenuous. When Mike woke up to his
birthday in 2009 he realised he had made it. He was reminded once again that
“I would like to thank the truest measure of good and improving health is not expressed in moments

it is the ability to enjoy those

types of arthritis, 283 were found to be much improved, and a further 219 were
improved to a less marked extent. Of 292 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, 264 showed
improvement of various degrees. The longer the duration of the disease, the

Despite these favourable findings, digestive enzyme therapy in conventional
medicine has been reserved for those diseases that directly result in a pathological
deficiency of pancreas-derived digestive enzymes.
What causes it?
There are two main types of arthritis: Osteo-arthritis, which in lay terms is due
to wear and tear of the joint and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) which is a form of

improvement and confirms earlier such studies that show processed starchy
carbohydrate diets are disease promoting.
Surprisingly, doctors still do not know what actually causes arthritis - whatever the
various schools of thought speculate on as to its cause, the one thing we are sure of
is that the real problem is that the normal healing function of the body is no longer
doing its job of looking after the repair of the damage being caused by the Arthritis.
Arthritis Relief
One of the most important potential benefits of Proteolytic Enzymes is in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Conventional treatment of this devastating
disease involves powerful, dangerous drugs, like steroidal and non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs, as well as more exotic treatments, such as methotrexate and
D-penicillamine. About the best one can say about these drugs is that they may
provide a degree of short-term symptomatic relief. At worst, they will kill you.
Numerous studies in animals and people with rheumatoid arthritis indicate that
enzyme therapy can manage symptoms of pain and inflammation at least as well
as the conventional drugs, but with none of the adverse effects. In fact, side effects
with enzymes are virtually nonexistent
Doctors who are experienced with Proteolytic Enzymes find prophylactic treatment
offers a wide range of benefits including:

Lupus Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or lupus) can affect anyone but most often
strikes young women between the ages of 20 to 40. While technically not arthritis
similar to RA it is an immune-related form of arthralgia often affecting the hip joints.
Lupus is a serious condition because it may also cause diseases of the internal
organs, including the heart, brain, lungs, and kidneys, as well as bleeding, anaemia,
and chronic infections. With proper treatment, however, lupus can be controlled,
and sufferers can expect normal life expectancy.
Enzymes help to dissolve circulating immune complexes and antibodies that cause
the severe inflammation of SLE. In one study of SLE patients presented at the
1996 Russian Symposium, clinical and laboratory immuno-inflammatory activity
was found to decrease more quickly with enzymes than with medical drugs,
and in a number of cases it was possible to reduce the dose or to improve the
safety and side effects profile of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),
corticosteroids and second-line agents being used.

Rheumatica and Polymyalgia Rheumatica and giant cell arteritis represent varying manifestations of one
disease: Both show similar patterns of cytokines in blood and Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Giant Cell Arteritis is a clinical diagnosis based on pain and stiffness of the shoulder and pelvic girdle area,
frequently in association with fever, anaemia, malaise, and weight loss.
The differential diagnosis of malaise, anaemia, and a markedly elevated
sedimentation rate includes multiple myeloma, other malignant disorders, and
chronic infections such as bacterial giant cell arteritis, a systemic panarteritis
affecting medium-sized and large vessels in patients over the age of 50.
The condition is also called temporal arteritis. About 50% of patients with giant
cell arteritis also have Polymyalgia Rheumatica. The classic symptoms suggesting
that a patient has arteritis are headache, scalp tenderness, visual symptoms, jaw
claudication, or throat pain.
Blindness results from occlusive arteritis of the posterior ciliary branch of the
ophthalmic artery.
The main reason to diagnose and treat giant cell arteritis is to prevent blindness.
Once blindness develops, it is usually permanent. Therefore, when a patient
has symptoms and findings suggestive of temporal arteritis, therapy with
prednisone, 60 mg daily, is initiated immediately, and a temporal artery biopsy
is promptly obtained.
Symptomatic relief is a useful, but not an absolute guide to disease activity. The
dosage of steroid should only be adjusted under strict medical guidance.
Blindness rarely occurs when the ESR has reached the normal range. The drug may
be slowly tapered when disease activity ceases.

(Not healing) Open sores/wounds on the leg that will not heal within 6 weeks.
What causes them?
1. Venous Failure and/or Arterial Insufficiency. Venous (leg ulcer) refers to a
failure of the venous system to return blood to the heart. Incompetent valves
in the ‘Deep Veins’ in the lower leg usually cause this.
2. Arterial (or Ischemic) leg ulcers refers to a failure of the arterial system to
supply sufficient blood to the limb, causing oxygen & nutrient deficit. This is
normally caused by either stenosis (narrowing), or occlusion (by an embolus)
of the microcirculation.

Fibrocystic Breast What is it?
Disease (including A cyst, or fibrocystic lump, in the breast is a benign (non-cancerous) condition
characterized by round lumps that move freely within the breast tissue. These
Fibrosis with lumps are usually tender to the touch (In contrast, a cancerous growth in the
implants) breast is often not tender or freely movable when touched). The texture of the
lumps can vary from soft to firm. For many women, the tenderness may increase
as menstruation approaches. Often the cysts fill with fluid and can enlarge when
premenstrual, in response to the increase in hormonal levels during this time.
What causes it?
In the case of implants the cause is the breast tissue reacting to a foreign body. A
lack of progesterone and a dominance of estrogens, the main female hormone and
prolactin, the milk release hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Dietary factors
have also been implicated. Usually the symptoms of pain and swelling do not persist
once menstruation begins and most women notice significant relief at this time. With
repeated cycles of hormonal stimulation, the breast cysts may become chronically

and Diabetic This is mostly a ‘western’ disease caused by eating starchy carbohydrates and foods
that have a high glycaemic index (GI over 44, see later) and that produce high
Neuropathy amounts of glucose in the blood stream. This condition develops in about 20% of
the white population, but is suffered by over 50% of people of African and Asian
descent eventually, if they eat the same starchy diet. It is made worse by the low
nutrients in the diet that caused it. If after diagnosis the same diet (wheat, potatoes
and white rice) is eaten, then complications called Diabetic Neuropathy can start to
damage the myelin sheath on the nerves in lower limbs. If the same diet continues
to be eaten, then it is not uncommon for it to lead to one or both legs being
amputated. Another condition of high glucose for diabetics is Diabetic Retinopathy,
where the person loses their eyesight. Glucose related damage is caused by the
glycation of proteins that causes massive free radical damage. Dr Hey was correct
100 years ago, when he said never eat starchy carbohydrates with proteins. He
called it ‘Food Combining’. Enzyme, nutrient and fatty acid deficiencies all combine
to make a miserable life for diabetics.
What causes it?
“After testing several It could be said that that it is caused by ignorance in the people that eat these

these foods in the diet. Some people say that it is a great con trick by the drug

advertise these junk foods at an early age, so that we become addicted at an early
C. L. M N age. They make much more profit from these foods than is possible from fresh fruit
and vegetables. I believe it is because these are addictive foods and we all find it
hard to stop them and so we all join in with the food industry, the drug companies
and the professionals, deluding ourselves that they are safe to eat so we can get
our fix. “Is it worth it?” I ask myself. To end up in a wheelchair, blind, with probable
diseases of the heart, kidneys, and all to keep on eating wheat and potatoes etc.
How can Serrapeptase help?
Many ways. The first is to help stop chronic inflammation that is part of the process.
The second is the clearing of non-vital proteins from the blood stream and the third
is clearing the scar tissue on the myelin sheath that disrupts the nerves and stops
the myelin sheath healing. Another reason, according to users, is a lower blood
sugar level. My problem with this is that I do not want you to think that this is all
you need to do. The Good Health Diet is the thing that will give you a future.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 x 80,000IU Serrapeptase, 3 times per day, 30 minutes before a meal and
then gradually reduce to 1 twice a day as you get relief.

Tuberculosis (TB) A contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). The
lungs are primarily involved, but the infection can spread to other organs.
Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air. When people with
TB in their lungs or throat cough, laugh, sneeze, sing, or even talk, the germs that
cause TB maybe spread into the air. If another person breathes in these germs there
is a chance that they will become infected with tuberculosis.
What causes it?
It is important to understand that there is a difference between being infected with
TB and having TB disease. Someone who is infected with TB has the TB germs, or
bacteria, in their body. The body’s defences are protecting them from the germs
and they are not sick. Someone with TB disease is sick and can spread the disease
to other people. A person with TB disease needs to see a doctor as soon as possible.
It is not easy to become infected with tuberculosis. Usually a person has to be close
to someone with TB disease for a long period of time. TB is usually spread between
family members, close friends, and people who work or live together. TB is spread
most easily in closed spaces, over a long period of time. The TB bacteria, to become
pathogenic and make a person sick, will need a poor diet or a very stressed lifestyle.
Healthy people, although infected, do not become sick. Your goal is to stay healthy.

In most common forms of CF, a responsible protein (CTFR) is trapped inside the cells
of the airways and gastrointestinal tract, inhibiting normal secretion of ions and fluid
that eventually can lead to a buildup of mucous clogs in the lungs and the pancreas.
However, in the study, researchers found 45 mg/kg body weight/d of curcumin
administered to mice with CF helped release the protein from the cells. The
treatment was either given once per day, or as a divided dose administered three
times per day.
“After having received curcumin treatment, mice with the genetic defect that
causes CF survived at a rate almost equal to normal mice,” said Gergely Lukacs,
M.D., Ph.D., one of the study’s authors. “The CFTR protein also functioned
normally in the cells lining the nose and rectum, which are areas of the body
affected by CF.”
Plans for a human clinical trial using curcumin are underway, which will be carried
out under the auspices of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Inc., according
to Michael Caplan, M.D., Ph.D., the study’s senior author and professor at Yale
University School of Medicine. “In the next phase of research, we will work to
determine precisely how curcumin is achieving these effects and to optimize its
potential as a possible drug,” he said.

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Section C
What are they? Ulcerative Colitis/IBD/Colitis
It affects the rectum and sometimes the colon (large intestine). Inflammation and
many tiny ulcers develop on the inside lining of the colon resulting in urgent and
bloody diarrhoea, pain and continual tiredness. The condition varies as to how
much of the colon is affected.
In addition, UC can cause inflammation in the eyes, skin and joints. If the
inflammation is only in the rectum it is known as proctitis.
Crohn’s Disease
It most commonly affects the small intestine and/or colon. It causes inflammation,
deep ulcers and scarring to the wall of the intestine and often occurs in patches.
The main symptoms are pain in the abdomen, urgent diarrhoea, general tiredness
and loss of weight. Crohn’s is sometimes associated with other inflammatory
conditions affecting the joints, skin and eyes.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS
IBS is a functional bowel disorder of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract characterized by
recurrent abdominal pain and discomfort, accompanied by alterations in bowel
function, diarrhoea, constipation or a combination of both, typically over months or
years. A diagnosis of IBS has been reported by 10 to 20% of adults, and symptoms
of IBS are responsible for many visits to doctors. Research suggests that IBS is one
of the most common functional GI disorders. IBS exhibits predominance in women,
with females representing over 70% of IBS sufferers.
What causes them?
The medical profession may tell you that they do not know. Other health
professionals and researchers know that ALL health problems are caused by diet
(except that stress can play a part in making the tract dysfunctional).

Multiple Sclerosis The Symptoms
(MS) Progressively worsening (in some cases) symptoms blurred vision, speech
problems, fatigue, muscle weakness, poor co-ordination, walking difficulties.
What causes it?
A dysfunctional leaky digestive system, leading to a dysfunctional auto immune

Stress, worry, pharmaceutical drugs (Antibiotics, Steroids, Ibuprofen, Aspirin etc.,
Toxic inorganic metals such as Mercury, Viral, Bacterial Problems.
The Effect
Your body’s own immune system attacks the myelin sheath, destroying patchy
areas. This leads to scar tissue forming that in turn blocks or slows the nerve signals.
The Solution
Clear away the scar tissue, restore a healthy digestive system and provide all of the
nutrients to repair the damaged tissue.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters Health) - Preliminary studies in rats suggest that
curcumin, a compound found in the curry spice turmeric, may block the
progression of multiple sclerosis (MS).
According to researcher Dr. Chandramohan Natarajan of Vanderbilt University in
Nashville, Tennessee, rats with an MS-like illness showed little or no signs of disease
symptoms after being injected with curcumin, while animals without the treatment
went on to severe paralysis.
“We got a very good inhibition of the disease by treating with curcumin,” Natarajan
told Reuters Health. He presented the findings at the annual Experimental Biology

Multiple Sclerosis and other Neurological problems Section F
2002 conference.
No one knows what causes multiple sclerosis, in which the body’s immune system
attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibres in the brain and
spine. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis include muscle weakness and stiffness,
balance and coordination problems, numbness and vision disturbances.
Interest in the potential neuroprotective properties of curcumin arose after studies
found very low levels of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, in elderly Indian
populations. Added to this were studies confirming curcumin as a potent anti-
inflammatory agent, effective in wound healing. And just last fall, researchers at the
University of California, Los Angeles, reported that curcumin appeared to slow the
progression of Alzheimer’s in mice.
In their 30-day study, Natarajan and co-researcher Dr. John Bright gave injections
of 50- and 100-microgram doses of curcumin, three times per week, to a group of
mice bred to develop a disease called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(EAE)--an autoimmune condition used by researchers as a model for multiple
sclerosis because it also results in the slow erosion of myelin. They then watched
the rats for signs of MS-like neurological impairment.
By day 15, rats who had not received curcumin developed EAE to such an extent
that they displayed complete paralysis of both hind limbs, according to Natarajan.
In contrast, rats given the 50-microgram dose of the curry compound showed only
minor symptoms, such as a temporarily stiff tail. And rats given the 100-microgram
dose appeared completely unimpaired throughout the 30 days of the study.
The results didn’t really surprise Natarajan. “In Asian countries, such as India, China,
who are eating more spicy foods, more yellow compounds like curcumin... there are
only very, very rare reports of MS,” he pointed out. He said the doses the rats received
were roughly equivalent in human terms to those found in a typical Indian diet.
Just how curcumin might work to thwart the progression of demyelinization
remains unclear. But the Nashville researchers believe it may interrupt the
production of IL-12, a protein that plays a key role in signalling immune cells to
launch their assault on the myelin sheath.
Natarajan stressed that “we have to do a lot of work on this,” including examining
other potential mechanisms by which curcumin slows EAE and, potentially, MS.
The work remains preliminary, and MS patients should follow their doctor’s advice
when it comes to treating the disease. Still, Natarajan said adding a little curry to
the diet couldn’t hurt. “I think using this spice in their food could be of help,” he said.
Further Research
Dr. Hector E. Solorzano del Rio, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., chairman of the Program for
Studies of Alternative Medicines of the University of Guadalajara, claims it has been
scientifically proven that enzymes indeed help MS patients.
Dr. Solorzano gives an example about one of his wheelchair-bound MS patients,
named Jose. At 40 years of age, he had received all known orthodox treatments
with no results. After one month on an enzyme program, Jose felt more strength in
all of his muscles. He could again dress himself; within three months he could walk
with some difficulty. After six months of enzymatic treatment, he was no longer
sick. He is very happy and now lives a productive life.
Important additional factors found in MS patients are a deficiency of unsaturated
fatty acids and other essential nutrients. Hundreds of patients have been treated
with enzymatic therapy, with good results, not only in Germany or Mexico, but also
in many other countries. It is important to remember that these patients also had a
full dietary program.

Damaged Nerves This is only added as a result of the one study below and at the time of writing I do
not know of any successful treatments. It cannot do any harm to at least try and do
something. Please report back to me the results.
Enzyme Aids Spinal Cord Injury Healing in Rats
A bacterial enzyme that prunes scar tissue formed after spinal injury could help re-
grow severed nerves, research in rats suggests.
Researchers speculate that the enzyme could eventually be used with other
experimental therapies to treat serious spinal cord injuries in humans.
In experiments with rats with crush-type spinal injuries, UK scientists found that the
enzyme broke through cellular obstacles at the injury site and allowed some re-
growth of severed nerve fibres. What’s more, the treated animals recovered at least
some normal walking abilities.
Elizabeth J. Bradbury, of King’s College London, and her colleagues report the
findings in the April 11th issue of Nature.
One of the obstacles to natural nerve regrowth after a severe spinal injury is the
build-up of molecules at the injury site that inhibit nerve regeneration. Among these
are chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (CSPG) molecules. Certain bacteria harbor
enzymes, including chondroitinase ABC, that can effectively “prune” CSPG molecules.
So Bradbury’s team looked at whether infusions of the enzyme could trim back
these molecular obstacles and clear a path for nerve re-growth in spine-injured rats.
They found that the treatment did promote some nerve regeneration and improve
injured animals’ movement.
Chondroitinase ABC and other potential treatments that target CSPG molecules
join other experimental therapies, such as nerve growth factors, that could
eventually treat human spinal cord injuries, the researchers conclude. The
“molecular machete” chondroitinase ABC could indeed be used to help “clear the
road” for nerve regeneration, according to an accompanying editorial.
Lars Olsen of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, notes that no single
experimental therapy has been shown to completely heal severe spinal injuries.
Fortunately, he adds, many could potentially be combined.
“In the short term,” Olsen writes, “the prognosis for people with complete spinal-
cord injury remains grim. Yet, looking further into the future, we can perhaps allow
ourselves to be a bit more optimistic.”

Sinusitis What is it?
Sinusitis is an infection and can occur either in the maxillary sinuses, which lie on
both sides, deep in the face below the eyes, or the frontal sinuses, situated on either
side of the bridge of the nose.
How does it occur?
Invariably they are the result of intolerance to foods, such as wheat and dairy
products. A bowel dysfunction such as constipation (not passing stools 2-3 times
per day) will contribute. Not drinking enough water, 8 glasses per day (as opposed
to tea, coffee and soft drinks) will also be implicated. Poor diet is absolutely
implicated. This leads to a build-up of unhealthy tissue and provides a perfect
breeding ground for infections.
How can Serrapeptase help?
Serrapeptase 80,000IU helps immensely, as it clears out all of the inflammation and
mucus. By clearing away this problem tissue, it enables the body’s own immune
system to deal more easily with the infection.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 Serrapeptase 80,000IU Tablets/Capsules x 3 times per day on an empty
stomach and increase it to 4 x 3 if no relief within 7 days. Then gradually reduce to 1 x 1.
Can I give/take too many tablets or can it interfere with any drugs?
No. It has been used for over 25 years with no side effects reported.
Research - 400% Improvement with Serrapeptase
In a double-blind study, 193 subjects suffering from acute or chronic ear, nose or
throat disorders were evaluated. Treatment with Serrapeptase lasted 7-8 days with
5 mg tabs. After 3-4 days treatment, significant symptom regression was observed
in the Serrapeptase-treated group, while this was not noted in the control group.
Patients suffering from laryngitis, catarrhal rhinopharyngitis and sinusitis noted
markedly rapid improvement. The physicians’ assessments of efficacy of treatment
were excellent or good for 97.3% of patients treated with Serrapeptase, compared
with only 21.9% of those treated with placebo.

Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Problems Section G
Hayfever Hayfever is a very common condition, affecting many millions of people
every year. It is triggered by an allergy to pollen or sometimes mould spores.
In hayfever the body’s immune system inappropriately reacts to the presence
of external substances, as if they were something toxic. This results in irritation
and inflammation.
Hayfever often runs in families, and is also related to asthma and eczema. It is
quite common to find a family with some members with asthma, some with
hayfever, and some with eczema. Any individual might have more than one of
these conditions.
Symptoms
The symptoms vary from person to person and often involve sneezing, runny/
blocked nose, red, watery, and itchy eyes, and an associated itchy throat. Very often
there is also a wheezy chest, which really suggests a degree of asthma.
Unfortunately the peak pollen time is the early summer, when school and
university examinations take place. As a result sufferers find it difficult to revise and
to perform well in the actual examinations.
Causes
The cause is erroneously said by so called experts to be pollen. Of course they mean
to say it is caused by a dysfunctional immune system and triggered by the different
pollens that are present at different times of year. This means the time that you are
affected depends on the pollen to which you are allergic. Other factors which can
aggravate the situation are the weather and the air quality.
Treatment
The traditional drug route of Antihistamines, and even sometimes steroids,
is not satisfactory, as it does not deal with the cause and they all have side
effects. Recently in the UK a hayfever medicine was withdrawn because of the
‘unacceptable’ high number of deaths! This indicates there is an acceptable level of
deaths, crazy or what?
How does it occur?
Invariably it is the result of intolerance to foods, such as wheat and dairy products.
A bowel dysfunction such as constipation (not passing stools 2-3 times per day)
will contribute. Not drinking enough water, 8 glasses per day (as opposed to tea,
coffee and soft drinks), will also be implicated. Poor diet is absolutely implicated.
Low friendly flora in the digestive tract. This leads to a build-up of unhealthy tissue
allergic responses.
How can Serrapeptase Help?
Serrapeptase 80,000IU helps immensely, as it clears out all of the inflammation and
any mucus. By clearing away this problem tissue, it settles the body’s own immune
system and stops the cycle.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 Serrapeptase 80,000IU Tablets/Capsules per hour until it clears. Then
gradually reduce to 1 per day.
Can I give/take too many tablets or can it interfere with any drugs?
No. It has been used for over 25 years with no side effects reported.

Cardiovascular Diseases Section H
Arterial Disease, What is it?
(Actions also for Arteriosclerosis (calcium deposits) and Atherosclerosis (fat deposits) involve a build-
up on the inside of artery walls.
Angina, Blood
What causes it?
Clots, Deep Vein
While there is overwhelming evidence that high levels of cholesterol increases the
Thrombosis DVT) risk of developing Atherosclerosis, Angina, DVT and Blood Clots, cholesterol is not
the damaging mechanism. Measuring the proportional relationship between HDL
cholesterol and LDL cholesterol more accurately assesses the risk of atherosclerosis.
The latest research shows that inflammation and free radicals cause damage to
both the cholesterol and artery walls that initiates a natural repair sequence that
results in the patching and build-up of calcium and cholesterol deposits. The
marker that I believe will become the gold standard for risk is Homocysteine. This
relates to cardiovascular risk in a much more precise way than cholesterol. A simple
blood test indicates the risk and can be re-measured after a nutritional program to
ascertain the effectiveness of the program.
This program shows that controlling free radicals is a more successful angle for
preventing this major cardiovascular disease problem. This has more potential to
provide much greater success than restrictive fat and cholesterol diets that have
thus far failed.
How can a Serrapeptase/Nattokinase formula help?
Serrapeptase - helps immensely, as it clears out all of the inflammation and dead
tissue. By combining it with other enzymes such as:
Nattokinase - a well studied enzyme, famous for dissolving blood clots faster than
any drug.
Digestive Enzyme Complex - alleviating the inflammation and clearing away this
problem tissue it relieves the symptoms.
Olive Leaf Citrus Blend - a powerful antioxidant that in studies is effective in
lowering the bad cholesterol.
Mineral Blend - A blend of 70+ colloidal trace minerals acts as co-factors for the
enzymactic activity.
Acidophilus - A strong friendly bacteria to aid in absorption and digestive activity.
The above blend is the strongest I have seen and it should increase the chances of
completely clearing arteries to nearly 100%.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 Tablets of Serrapeptase/Nattokinase formula x 3 times per day on
an empty stomach and increase it to 4 x 3 if no relief within 7 days, even more if
necessary. Then gradually reduce to 1 x 1.
Can I take too many tablets, or can it interfere with any drugs I am taking?

3. Basic Health Plan
Using the Basic Health Plan on page 121 will both help to clear the arteries and keep

4. Self-Help
Treatment and prevention entails the following common sense, self help approach.
Treatment includes:
• Raising your legs when sitting. This may help reduce the pain and swelling, and
may help prevent getting varicose veins at all.
• When sitting watching TV or reading or even at the computer, try to remember
to put you feet up on a chair or footstool, the higher the better. This will help
the blood to re-circulate back into the body.
• Another thing that can be done is to get custom fitting support stockings.
While they are not very attractive, you could wear them under pants and when
at home
Prevention of varicose veins includes the following recommendations:
• Take breaks from standing, especially if you have a job where you stand all day,
mostly in one place. Alternate between standing on your toes and rocking
back on your heels while raising your toes, lower them and then raise your
heels. This will pump your blood from your legs back to your heart. Walking
is obviously better than standing still all day and walking fast is better than
walking slowly to get better foot movement.
• Wear support stockings or pantyhose
• Avoid wearing tight banded knee hose or knee socks and tight girdles, which
all impair circulation.
• Take short walks during the day; walk on your lunch break. Do calf pumping
and make circles with your ankles during the day.
• Avoid sitting with your legs crossed
• Each day lie on the floor or bed near a wall. Put your feet up on the wall. Lie
there for at least fifteen minutes each day. This will allow some or most of the
blood that has pooled down in your legs to move out of the legs and back into
the body. It is also very relaxing and de-stressing. Take a catnap or read a book
while doing this exercise, if you like.
• Consider blocks under the foot of the bed to incline backwards.

Enzyme Use in Sports Injury Prevention & Recovery Section I
Studies show that the use of enzymes can help to speed the healing of sports
trauma, as well as helping to prevent such occurrences in the first place.
In an attempt to shorten the recovery time from common injuries the German
National Hockey Team in the 90’s began taking Proteolytic Enzymes. They took
capsules of Proteolytic Enzymes in addition to their usual treatments immediately
after an injury or preventatively before games. 100 injuries that the athletes
suffered were carefully documented and the healing process carefully and
systematically monitored with regard to several criteria.
Both the physicians and the players of the German National Hockey Team observed
that bruises and haematomas shrank in size faster, swelling was less severe and
resolved faster, spontaneous pain, pain on mobility and pain on pressure were all
lower than expected, and full mobility returned quicker. Moreover, they found that
taking Proteolytic Enzymes preventatively worked better than taking it right after
an injury.
The first use of Proteolytic Enzymes in athletics was by the German Olympic team
competing in Los Angeles. The coaches and athletes found that those who were
hampered by painful bruises and swelling returned back into action faster if they
were taking Proteolytic Enzymes.
The apparent ability of Proteolytic Enzymes to reduce bruising, swelling and pain
while improving mobility and healing was also suggested by two studies on hockey
players and skiers. Those who used the product preventatively were able to return
to their sport significantly faster after an injury than those who used conventional
and potentially dangerous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID5) like
aspirin or ibuprofen.
The Modern Age of Enzymes
The modern age of proteolytic enzyme therapy began with the work of Max
Wolf, who is also credited with writing the first textbook on the young science of
endocrinology. The work of Wolf and Benitez with various enzyme combinations,
from the 1930s until the 1970s, was largely empiric in nature and lacked the
rigorous controls common to modern-day research. Nevertheless, they observed
positive effects of enzyme therapy in people with vascular diseases, lymph edema,
and certain viral infections and in the healing of injuries and inflammations. This
convinced them that a deficiency of proteolytic enzymes was a primary factor in
premature aging.
It was found that Enzyme Therapy:
• Reduced swelling and inflammation
• Enhanced immune function
• Reduced pain
• Improved circulation
• Accelerated recovery from traumatic injury
• Prevented serious injury
• Minimised scar formation
Proteolytic enzymes can also be helpful in cases of infection. They have proved
particularly useful for treating urinary tract infections.
Clinical investigations carried out in Europe show that systemic proteolytic
enzymes combined with antibiotic drugs like ampicillin, tetracyclines, and
trimethoprim leads to a substantially higher antibiotic concentration at the site of
the infection and a more rapid cure.
page 87
Enzyme Use in Sports Injury Prevention & Recovery Section I
Pain Relief
Proteolytic enzymes produce a delayed analgesic effect that appears to arise from
two separate mechanisms. First, the enzymes neutralize inflammatory mediators,
such as the kinins and prostaglandins, which otherwise would directly stimulate
nerve pain receptors. Second, by promoting the breakdown of plasma proteins
and immune complexes and by stimulating phagocytosis, as described earlier, they
reduce edema that subsequently leads to a relief of pain due to fluid pressure.
Numerous clinical studies in various types of pain have confirmed the analgesic
abilities of proteolytic enzymes. In a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled
crossover study in 25 people undergoing oral surgery, each subject underwent
two different comparable procedures (left and right) on two different occasions.
Without knowing which condition they were in at a given time, the participants
received papain for one procedure and placebo for the other. Regression of edema
and reduction in pain occurred significantly faster following papain treatment
compared with placebo. Papain treatment was also associated with a shorter
recovery time.
In a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study of episiotomy pain,
160 women received either bromelain or placebo following episiotomy. After 4
days of treatment, the researchers found striking reductions in pain, edema, and
inflammation in the bromelain-treated women.
Clinical Effects of Proteolytic Enzymes
Scores of clinical studies of Proteolytic Enzymes (mostly various forms of Proteolytic
Enzymes) have been conducted in a variety of conditions that are commonly
associated with inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, surgery, fractures,
sports injuries, and other injuries of the knees and ankles. Included among these
are 2 double blind, placebo-controlled trials and three trials comparing enzyme
therapy with conventional pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs. All but one of
these 14 trials showed the enzymes to be superior to placebo or the comparative
drug. The fourteenth was inconclusive due to methodological problems in the
study design.
In a nutshell, enzymes are essential in sports, delivering:
• Quicker recovery, with lower associated costs.
• Quicker return to training for athletes.
page 88
Anti-Ageing Section J
Ageing – or premature ageing as we know it, is caused by four active problems:
1. Chronic Inflammation.
2. A build-up of Fibrous Tissue.
3. Thickening of blood.
4. Weakening of the Immune System.
The causes of these problems have been identified as a deficiency of enzymes (a 70
year old has only 25% of the enzymes present in a 20 year old and a deficiency of
nutrients both in the diet and being absorbed through a failing digestive system.
Again, the nutrients absorbed are around 25% of the 20 year old (excluding the
current standard junk diet being eaten by today’s 20 year old).
As enzymes are critical for a healthy regenerating system, any deficiency in the
body and absorption, coupled with lack of nutrients in the food, will result in a
prematurely degenerating body or Premature Ageing.
A brief explanation of these active problems is:
1. Inflammation.
Studies now show that chronic inflammation is a prime factor in both disease
and ageing. This inflammation is the result of diet/lifestyle such as breads, pastry,
biscuits, breakfast cereals, potatoes, rice, pasta, overcooked foods, micro-waved
foods, irradiated foods, insufficient vegetables and fruits, stress, toxins and
drugs. The degree of inflammation can be tested by biochemical markers such as
C-Reactive Proteins; the higher the level the more chance of disease. Hardly a week
goes by without another study showing that a major factor in disease and ageing is
inflammation. These are partly being driven because some of the Major Drugs act
as anti-inflammatory and the drug manufactures are rubbing their hands with their
potential. Drugs such as aspirin, statins, and other anti-inflammatory drugs are all
publishing studies as disease preventatives for such diverse conditions as cancer,
heart disease and alzheimer’s. The fact that you should never forget is that DRUGS
ALWAYS HAVE SIDE EFFECTS.
How can enzymes help?
When combined with lifestyle changes as in the basic plan, taking an anti-
inflammatory enzyme such as Serrapeptase and supplementing with digestive
enzymes to top up the enzyme deficiency, will visibly improve health and ageing.
2. Fibrotic build-up
Modern lifestyle can result in the enzymes that control the laying down of
fibrous tissue diminishing. Too much fibrous tissue can become the matrix for
Atherosclerosis plaque that clogs arteries. In blood vessels, it causes thrombosis or
blood clots; in breast tissue, fibrocystic breast disease and fibromas in the uterus.
Proteolytic enzymes, such as Serrapeptase, have been shown in studies to dissolve
away these, relieving the inflammation and lowering the associated pain.
3. Blood thinning
There are broadly two reasons for ‘thick’ blood. 1. Chronic inflammation can cause
blood cells to ‘clump’ together and 2. An excess of dead (necrotic) and other
matter in the blood will cause thickening of the blood. Unlike blood thinners,
enzymes clear the inflammation, eat away dead and other matter in the blood
and as a result, lower blood viscosity. Aspirin also lowers blood viscosity but not
by this mechanism and not without side effects, such as producing haemorrhage.
Proteolytic enzymes will not do that in any dosage. If the enzymes have something
to work on they will, if they don’t, nothing happens and they will be excreted from
page 89
Anti-Ageing Section J
the body. Another problem with Aspirin is that it can cause intestinal bleeding.
Thousands of people die annually from NSAID’s i.e. Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxsin etc.
4. Immune system supportive.
The white blood cells are in charge of destroying pathogenic germs in our system.
They have little extensions called Fc receptors. These extensions pick up the debris
from the dead bug and carry it around awaiting disposition by enzymes. Enzymes
also keep the system clear of non-vital proteins to stop their use by germs to
‘hide’ from the white blood cells. The more free enzymes we have in our body, the
stronger our immune system becomes.
The formula for successful anti-ageing is practically the same for any diseases.
Anti-Ageing Program - after 30 days on the program below, you can get the
following tests to evaluate whether any other nutrients are needed to get the
levels into a safe area.
1. Get tested for C-Reactive Protein (OK less than 10 mg/L)
2. Get tested for Homocysteine (OK less than 6 micro moles per litre of blood)
“Anti-Ageing Program ”
1. Take the basic nutrients missing from the average balanced (so-
called) diet for daily good health
• Take 2-4 Serrapeptase/Nattokinase Formula daily as a preventative
inflammatory (better and safer than aspirin).
• A digestive enzyme complex to keep your digestive system healthy and to
ensure complete enzyme support.
• Probiotics – at least 14 strains of friendly flora to keep your digestive system
healthy, to aid digestion and prevent food poisoning.
• 90+ vitamins & minerals in a liquid form for perfect absorbency ensures that all
of the critical vitamins and minerals are present.
• Fatty acid complex (e.g. hemp oil or fish oil) is essential for a healthy
functioning system
• Colloidal iron supplement (liquid sachet). Even a slight iron deficiency can
result in a loss of energy. Ask your doctor for a blood test before taking iron.
• If elevated levels of homocysteine take sublingual homocysteine control
formula.
• If elevated test for C-Reactive protein, increase serrapeptase.
• If like me you are determined to stay Fit & Healthy for Life (and sexually active)
there are more things to take. See the list at the end of this section.
2. Drink water
ater is essential for good health and filtered water is better than bottled. Tea,
W
coffee, and soft drinks are not replacements for pure water. They can in many
cases add to the health problem. Take with a pinch of bicarbonate of soda in
each glass.
3. Eat Living Foods that regenerate your cells
L ive food brings life and dead food brings *****. We need to eat at least 10-14
portions of vegetables and fruit (dark skinned) per day to achieve the level of
nutrients needed to help repair and prevent diseases.
page 90
Anti-Ageing Section J
4. Stop Eating Junk foods that degenerate your cells
hese include all microwaved, overcooked, processed in a factory or irradiated
T
foods. This especially includes ALL breads, pastry, biscuits, breakfast cereals,
potato products, parsnips and pasta. See food section in appendix for the
important reasons.
5. Get more oxygen around your body
xygen is the prime source of health, energy and regeneration in your body.
O
Just sitting down and expecting oxygen to get around your body is useless.
Walk at least 60 minutes at a fast pace every day, or jump up and down on the
spot or wave your arms and legs around if you cannot walk. Just do it until your
heart beats fast and then for 20 minutes longer.
6. Cleanse/Detox
leanse at least yearly with a Herbal Cleanse to recover and heal your digestive
C
system and Herbal Formula to help rebuild your liver and kidneys (both critical
for lung health).
7. Homeopathy
sk your Doctor to refer you to a Homeopathic Doctor. It may work and should
A
not need more that a couple of visits.
8. Acupuncture/Acupressure
onsider acupuncture or electronic acupressure to keep your energy system in
C
balance or to treat the acupuncture points associated with any condition.
9. Consider Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen Promoting Enzymes or in serious conditions Oxygen Therapy is a
recommended treatment. Call the help line in appendix for more information.
10. Get Serious about Health
etting healthy, as opposed to just taking drugs, is the sensible way to avoid
G
diseases and premature ageing. Make it the highest priority in your life.

Serrapeptase in Animal Drug-Free Treatment
Animal Health Breakthrough Treatment for Arthritis and the other conditions shown
A number of vets have been using Serrapeptase enzymes for arthritis and many
other animal conditions and the signs are more than encouraging.
This amazing enzyme has been successfully used on humans, without side effects
for 25 years. This new animal treatment does not require a prescription and is a
fraction of the cost of conventional medicines.
So far they have been giving the supplement to dogs, all severely affected with
arthritis and all in a great degree of pain. There have been no side effects and pain
relief has been almost total. Being a dietary supplement rather than a drug means a
“...now two years later possible breakthrough for non-drug animal arthritis sufferers.

Manufacturers have now introduced enteric-coated granules in capsules. This is of
Mr Rich great benefit for treating small dogs, cats, children and those unable to swallow, as
they can be mixed. Serrapeptase is a stronger saseinolytic (fibrinolytic) agent than any
other known alkaline neutral protease such as chymotrypsin, bromelain or pronase.
The medicinal effects of Serrapeptase for animals identified clinically are:
• Lung, sinus and other mucus problems
• Pain problems of any kind
• Inflammation (after surgery, injury etc)
• Scar tissue
• Mastitis
• Cysts
Liz Hayden I used Serrapeptase on my horse, which sustained a severe tendon injury in April
2003. By June a scan showed that he had a chronic tendonitis with much scar
tissue formed, both on the tendons, in the tendon sheaths and in the surrounding
ligaments. The prognosis was poor; ‘moderate to guarded for anything more than
light hacking’ said the report.
I had no idea about dose, so had to make an educated guess! I fed him 10 tablets of
Serrapeptase a day for 6 weeks, then 6 a day for 2 months, then 3 a day for a further
2 months. He has just been re-scanned (November 2003). To my delight, the scan
showed almost a full recovery. There is minimal scarring on the tendons, and none
in the tendon sheaths or ligaments. He is expected to get back to full work now.

I can now bring him back into work. I will increase the work slowly over a period of 2
-3 months, and continue on a maintenance dose of Serrapeptase (2 a day) for a while.
This is a truly remarkable recovery, and I am absolutely delighted.
I will be spreading the word! Liz Hayden

Questions from the Help-Line Section L
What is Serrapeptase?
Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the micro-organism, Serratia
E15. This enzyme is naturally present in the silkworm intestine and is processed
commercially today through fermentation. This immunologically active enzyme
is completely bound to the alpha 2 macroglobulin in biological fluids. Histologic
studies reveal powerful anti-inflammatory effects of this naturally occurring enzyme.
page 95
Questions from the Help-Line Section L
Can it be taken with other medication and do I need to inform my Doctor?
Yes it can be taken with any medication and may mean that you will be able to stop
taking them, but you should check with your doctor before doing so.
I have abdominal scar tissue 2 years after a lipoplasty procedure. I heard that
Serrapeptase could help “dissolve” internal scar tissue. Is there any truth to this?
Yes it is a very effective and safe solution. It may take about 3 weeks to get rid of
the discomfort and several more weeks to make sure it they are completely clear.
Where can I get a Serrapeptase by Mail Order that doesn’t have additives? I
don’t want all the non-essential ingredients like: maltodextrin, silicon dioxide,
magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide.
Answer is: SerraEnzyme 80000IU from www.goodhealthnaturally.com contains
only serrapeptase and brown rice powder.

own recovery systems can then start to rebuild, with the help of Glucosamine,
Chondroitin, MSM and collagen.
“I have a client in Portugal who takes medication for high blood pressure and
also a prescription HRT; she would like to come off both and is interested in
taking Serrapeptase. At present we are still discussing her options and I have
expressed my opinion, which is that she should not stop taking her prescription
drugs. Am I correct in thinking that with diet improvement, vitamin and mineral
supplements her health may improve, perhaps to the point where she may not
need to take the prescribed drugs? I do not intend to make any promises but feel
the improvements in diet etc. would improve her overall health anyway.”
The benefits with Serrapeptase will come for the high blood pressure. With the diet
changes you are planning she should see a steady improvement. If she wishes to
keep to a low dose for the future it is highly recommended. The HRT is a different
story and natural progesterone and natural estrogens may be needed to replace
the HRT.
Has Serrapeptase ever been used for Peyronie’s Disease (curvature of penis)?
I have been asked this a few times, but I have not had any feedback. It could work
as the growth that causes it should diminish with Serrapeptase. I look forward to
feedback on this matter.
Please can you tell me if I give Serrapeptase to my Dalmatian dog how many
tablets can I give him. Also can it help for inflamed skin which occurs because of
a small infection in the hair follicle which makes the skin swell in to a lump which
looks inflamed?
It is well worth trying; 1-3 per day should be sufficient.
Does Serrapeptase help with lung problems fungus?
No, just the inflammation that may result from the fungal infection. Try colloidal
silver in a nebuliser mixed 50:50 with 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Questions from the Help-Line Section L
Can it get rid of my varicose veins completely?
It can get rid of the discomfort and the swollen veins (ask my grateful wife). It
cannot repair damaged valves.
My son has Crohn’s Disease, he is 10 years old can he take these tablets and
how many?
He can take any amount as they are quite safe. I would try 3 per day to begin. He
also needs to follow the recovery plan to resolve it (see it in this book).
I will be having ACL surgery and would like to use this enzyme in my recovery. I
am somewhat familiar with enzymes from the book “Enzymes for Autism” which
I am utilizing, successfully for my son diagnosed with PDD-NOS.
Serrapeptase will certainly help in your post-op recovery.
My granddad is diabetic but would like to try this product for a number of things
listed. Can he take this medication with being diabetic? and what ingredients
are used to make Serrapeptase please?
page 98
Questions from the Help-Line Section L
Yes he can take it as a diabetic and with the drugs he is taking. The contents are
just Serrapeptase enzymes. Reports for diabetes users tell of balanced blood
sugars but I cannot tell if it is the Serrapeptase or the fact they are cutting back
on starchy carbohydrates.

Serrapeptase – Inflammatory Response
Scientific The Inflammatory Response is normally an important mechanism for protecting
the body from attack by invading organisms, faulty cells and trauma. When the
Background of immune system becomes dysfunctional, it loses its ability to differentiate between
the Most Potent innocuous and potentially dangerous substances. This dysfunction results in a
wide array of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis,
Proteolytic allergies, psoriasis, uveitis, multiple sclerosis and some forms of cancer.
Enzyme? In spite of the huge range of successful enzyme studies showing safety and
effectiveness, the standard therapy for inflammatory-mediated diseases and
trauma include drugs such as steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents
(NSAIDs). These classes of drugs do in most cases offer temporary, symptomatic
relief from swelling, inflammation and accompanying pain, but without treating the
underlying condition.
Drugs
The drugs used to control the inflammatory response may be immunosuppressive
and cause dangerous side effects. The benefits and long-term risks associated with
the use of NSAIDs, especially in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, need to be weighed
very carefully. If not successfully treated, the inflammatory process itself can lead to
limitation of joint function and destruction of bone, cartilage and articular structures.
NSAIDs
NSAIDs are one of the most widely prescribed drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and
other inflammatory joint conditions. They inhibit the biosynthesis of prostaglandins
by irreversibly blocking cyclooxygenase, the enzyme which catalyses the reactions
of arachidonic acid to endoperoxide compounds.
The Side Effects
The neurological and gastrointestinal side effects of these agents have been
reviewed in considerable detail. All of the NSAIDs, with the exception of Cytotec,
inhibit prostaglandin El, a local hormone responsible for gastric mucosal
cytoprotection. A common side effect from these medications is gastric ulcers.
More serious adverse reactions such as blood dyscrasias, kidney damage and
cardiovascular effects have been noted. Most physicians rotate among the ten most
widely prescribed NSAIDs, as soon as one causes side effects or stops working.
The Enzyme Alternative
The search for a superior enzyme that offers safe but powerful anti-inflammatory
properties, thus averting the terrible side effects, ended when Serratia peptidase
(Serrapeptase) enzyme was discovered in the early 70’s. Serrapeptase is now in
wide clinical use throughout Europe and Asia as a viable alternative to salicylates,
ibuprofen (sold as an OTC in the U.S.) and the more potent NSAIDs. Serrapeptase is
an anti-inflammatory, proteolytic enzyme isolated from the microorganism, Serratia
E15 and has no inhibitory effects on prostaglandins, is devoid of gastrointestinal
side effects and offers a sensible alternative.
Serrapeptase the Enzyme
Serrapeptase is processed commercially in the laboratory through fermentation.
It was originally found in the silkworm where it is naturally present in its
intestine. This immunologically active enzyme is completely bound to the alpha
2 macroglobulin in biological fluids. Histologic studies reveal powerful anti-
inflammatory effects of this naturally occurring enzyme. The silkworm has a special
relationship with the Serratia E15 microorganisms in its intestines. The enzymes
secreted by the bacteria in silkworm intestines have the ability to dissolve avital
tissue, but have no detrimental effect on the host’s living cells. Thus by dissolving
page 101
The Science Section M
the silkworm’s protective cocoon (avital tissue), the winged creature is able to
emerge and fly away.
Wide Range of Applications
The discovery of this unique biological phenomenon led researchers to study
clinical applications of the Serrapeptase enzyme in man. In addition to its
widespread use in:
• Arthritis
• Fibrocystic breast disease
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Atherosclerosis.
Researchers in Germany have used Serrapeptase for atherosclerosis to digest
atherosclerotic plaque without harming the healthy cells lining the arterial wall.
Chronic Inflammation
Today, researchers consider atherosclerosis an inflammatory condition (similar
to many other degenerative diseases whose cause is identified as chronic
inflammation). Some immunologists are even categorizing atherosclerosis as a
benign tumour. Hardening and narrowing of the arterial wall is a cumulative result
of microscopic trauma; inflammation occurs in the presence of oxidized lipids.
Serrapeptase doesn’t interfere with the synthesis of cholesterol in the body, but
acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps clear avital tissue from the arterial wall. It is
important to note that cholesterol in its pure state is an antioxidant and a necessary
component of the major organ and hormonal systems in the body. The use of
medications, which block cholesterol biosynthesis, may eventually damage the liver
and compromise anti-oxidant status of the eyes, lungs and other soft tissues.
Powerful Anti-Inflammatory
A wealth of information exists regarding its anti-inflammatory properties.
Serrapeptase has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of:
• Chronic sinusitis
• To improve the elimination of bronchopulmonary secretions
• Traumatic injury (e.g. sprains and torn ligaments)
• Post-operative inflammation
• To facilitate the therapeutic effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infections
• Cystitis and epididymitis.
Standard Treatment In Europe
Serrapeptase has been admitted as a standard treatment in Germany and other
European countries for the treatment of inflammatory and traumatic swellings. In
one double-blind study of Serrapeptase conducted by Esch et al at the German
State Hospital in UIm, 66 patients with fresh rupture of the lateral ligament treated
surgically were divided in three randomised groups. In the group receiving the
test substance, the swelling had decreased by 50% on the third post-operative
day, while in the other two control groups (elevation of the leg, bed rest, with or
without the application of ice), no reduction in swelling had occurred at that time.
The difference was of major statistical significance. Decreasing pain correlated for
the most part with the reduction in swelling. The patients receiving Serrapeptase
became pain-free more rapidly than the control groups. By the 10th day, all
patients were free of pain in the Serrapeptase-treated group. The therapeutic daily
dose was 1-2 tablets (5 mg) 3 times daily.
page 102
The Science Section M
Cystic Breast Disease
In another double-blind study, the anti-inflammatory enzyme, Serrapeptase, was
evaluated in a group of 70 patients with evidence of cystic breast disease. These
patients were randomly divided into a treatment group and a placebo group.
Serrapeptase was noted to be superior to placebo for improvement of breast pain,
breast swelling and induration, with 85.7% of the patients receiving Serrapeptase
reporting moderate to marked improvement. No adverse reactions were reported
with the use of Serrapeptase. The use of enzymes with fibrinolytic, proteolytic and
anti-edemic activities for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the ear, nose
and throat has gained increasing support in recent years.
ENT Success
In a third double-blind study, 193 subjects suffering from acute or chronic ear, nose
or throat disorders were evaluated. Treatment with Serrapeptase lasted 7-8 days
taking 5mg tablets. After 3-4 days treatment, significant symptom regression was
observed in the Serrapeptase-treated group, while this was not noted in the control
group. Patients suffering from laryngitis, catarrhal rhinopharyngitis and sinusitis
noted markedly rapid improvement. The physicians’ assessments of efficacy of
treatment were excellent or good for 97.3% of patients treated with Serrapeptase
compared with only 21.9% of those treated with placebo. In a similar study of
chronic bronchitis, conducted by a team of otolaryngologists, the Serrapeptase-
treated group showed excellent results compared with the placebo group in
the improvement of loosening sputum, frequency of cough and expectoration.
Other improvements included the posterior nasal hydro rhea and rhinostenosis.
The administration of Serrapeptase reduces the viscosity of the nasal mucus to a
level at which maximal transport can be achieved. It has also been demonstrated
that the simultaneous use of the peptidase and an antibiotic results in increased
concentrations of the antibiotic at the site of the infection.
The mechanisms of action of Serrapeptase, at the sites of various inflammatory
processes consist fundamentally of a reduction of the exudative phenomena and
an inhibition of the release of the inflammatory mediators. This peptidase induces
fragmentation of fibrinose aggregates and reduces the viscosity of exudates,
thus facilitating drainage of these products of the inflammatory response and
thereby promoting the tissue repair process. Studies suggest that Serrapeptase
has a modulatory effect on specific acute phase proteins that are involved in the
inflammatory process. This is substantiated by a report of significant reductions
in C3 and C4 complement, increases in opsonizing protein and reductions in
concentrations of haptoglobulin, which is a scavenger protein that inhibits
lysosomal protease.
Carpal Tunnel RSI
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a form of musculo-ligamentous strain caused by
repetitive motion injury. Individuals who work at keyboard terminals are
particularly susceptible to this condition. While surgery has been considered the
first line treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, recent studies reveal that the use of
anti-inflammatory enzymes (e.g. Serrapeptase and bromelain), in conjunction with
vitamins B2 and B6, is also effective. The use of non-invasive, nutritional approaches
to the treatment of this common condition will become more important as a
generation of keyboard operators approach retirement.
Enteric Coating for Intestinal Absorption
Several research groups have reported the intestinal absorption of Serrapeptase.
Serrapeptase is well absorbed orally when formulated with an enteric coating. It
is known that proteases and peptidases are only absorbed in the intestinal area.
page 103
The Science Section M
These enzymes are mobilized directly to the blood and are not easily detectible
in urine. Other enzymes with structural similarities have been reported to be
absorbed through the intestinal tract. Chymotrypsin is transported into the blood
from the intestinal lumen. Horseradish peroxidase can cross the mucosal barrier
of the intestine in a biologically and immunologically active form. Several studies
have appeared so far which refer to the systemic effects of orally given proteases
and peptidases (e.g. Serrapeptase), such as repression of oedema and repression of
blood vessel permeability induced by histamine or bradykinin. These enzymes also
affect the kallikrein-kinin system and the complement system, thus modifying the
inflammatory response.
Superior Effects
In vitro and in vivo studies reveal that Serrapeptase has a specific, anti-
inflammatory effect, superior to that of other proteolytic enzymes. A review of the
scientific literature, including a series of controlled, clinical trials with large patient
groups, suggests that Serrapeptase is useful for a broad range of inflammatory
conditions. If one considers the fact that anti-inflammatory agents are among
the most widely prescribed drugs, the use of a safe, proteolytic enzyme such as
Serrapeptase would be a welcome addition to the physician’s armamentarium of
physiologic agents.

tissue and to clean up afterwards. When cooked food is eaten, digestive
diseases are enzymes must be taken to compensate. Failure will lead to enzyme dysfunction
rampant and therefore health failure. Take digestive enzymes with any cooked foods.
2. Too many starchy carbohydrates in the diet.
Bread, pastry, biscuits, breakfast cereals, rice, potatoes, pasta, any starchy foods
that contains fungus (mycotoxins) and also creates a high level of glucose in the
blood stream (higher than 40 on the glycaemic index); will cause inflammation

3. Not enough vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and beans being eaten.
10 to 14 portions of vegetables (not root except carrots, beetroot) 3 fruit, 1-2
beans, 1-2 nuts, 1-2 seeds (you will get more than enough good carbohydrates

The previous Medical Doctors have little or no training in nutrition and consequently may tell
you that there are no known causes of these conditions detailed in this book. In
explained in fact I believe that the whole concept of nutrition being directly related to the state
greater detail of our health is deliberately kept from Doctors during their training. From what I
hear from doctors, a culture of ridicule is deliberately fostered around the notion.
We concur with a different group of Scientists and Doctors trained in nutrition
that found that it is contributed to significantly, or exacerbated by, nutritional
deficiencies. Everyday we need the following to sustain vibrant life and health:
• Proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
• 13 or so Vitamins.
• 20-60 Minerals (the number depends which scientist you believe).
• 12 or so Amino Acids.
• 10 or so Fatty Acids.
• 6 or so Digestive Enzymes (from plants).
• Oxygen.
• Pure Water.
• Probiotics (the healthy bacteria that should be in your intestines).
You may have heard the glib statement that ‘as long as you eat a balanced diet
then you will get all of the nutrients you need’. To say that all of the above is in
the average western diet is plain crazy. Every single study for the past 75 years is
showing a steady decline in nutrients in the food (even organic foods).
What your Doctor may not know about the so-called ‘balanced diet’.
Nutritionist, Dr David Thomas, gave the following findings on mineral depletion at
a lecture (published in the Nutrition & Health, the Journal of the McCarrison Society for
Nutrition & Health Vol 17:no 2, 2003).
Even if your ageing digestive system would absorb them, they are
simply not there.
Are you absorbing your nutrition?

Facts:
• The minerals are missing or severely deficient in the soil and hence the
food. These are critical co-factors for enzymes.
• All of the listed factors need to be in place, as they all work interactively or
as co-factors to each other and any deficiency will result in a malfunction.
For example, there are over 80 enzymes at work in your body that need zinc
as a co-factor.
1. You simply do not eat enough of the vegetables every day (10-14 portions)
to get the nutrition to regenerate your body. A list of vegetables and their
content is shown later.
2. As we get older, we do not absorb food from our digestive system as well
as we did when we were younger. This is caused by:
a) Eating too many starch carbohydrates for convenience. These block the
digestive system linings and kill the friendly bacteria. They cause the
digestive diseases that so many people suffer from.
b) By a lack of HCL (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach.
c) A lack of digestive enzymes in the food.
Studies show that the average 70 year old has only 20% of the beneficial
enzymes available compared to a 20 year old. This is in the main
caused by overeating enzymatically dead foods. There is an urgent

problems are very common. These problems block the uptake of
nutrients in the digestive tract. If you have these problems you
will probably already be suffering from digestive problems such as
indigestion, acid reflux and bowel diseases such as crohn’s, piles, colitis,
IBS etc. (This intolerance can also have a Genetic factor). Only eat
Sprouted Seed breads.
4. Eating too many grains, cereals and dairy products can replace or block
proper nutrition. Wheat, grains and dairy products are not appropriate
nutrition for good health. I know many experts disagree, but their
error in thinking may have helped to get you into this mess in the first
place (more later). The negative aspect of these foods is amplified by
modern factory processing. The fact is scientific studies show them to be
unhealthy for humans or animals. Eating organic whole grains instead of
of processed grains do not make you healthy, just a little bit healthier.
5. The blood stream can suffer clogging (blood cells sticking or clumping
together) as a result of an inappropriate diet as described in 4. above.

Food and Lifestyle in Detail for Good Health
Lack of This does not need much more clarification as enzymes are well covered in this
book. The only thing to emphasise is that as we all get older the available enzymes
Enzymes in our body are insufficient to digest overcooked and processed foods, convert
metabolise that digested food into healthy tissue and to lastly clean up the mess
afterwards. At the same time they have to deal with the day to day emergencies
that occur in everybody’s life: sprains, strains, infections, wear and tear, and the
extra work looking after an older body. Try to eat at least one of your meals per
day raw as in a salad or raw veggie. The rest should be only lightly cooked (stir-fry,
steamed, or gently heated as in soups etc).
You need to Supplement with Enzymes for Good Health
Many types of enzymes are being offered and there are two considerations:
1. The amount of Enzymes.
2. The Sources of Enzymes.
The Amount
This is confusing because manufacturers and suppliers use confusing terms such as
weight in mg on the bottle. As Enzymes are measured in activity (e.g. in the same
way that electricity is measured in watts, not kilograms) then to see mg on the
bottle is meaningless. You will have no way of knowing what you are getting and it
could be 50mg of dead powder.
Therefore: Enzymes are ONLY MEASURED IN ACTIVITY, AS THEY ONLY PERFORM
ACTIVITY.
All reputable sellers of Enzymes took the standard measurements from the
European committee that is now used on all enzyme products.
All Protease products must be measured in HUT, which is a measure of activity and
not of weight, such as mg.
Examples are:
• IU stands for International Units and is used for serrapeptase
• HUT stands for Haemoglobin Unit Tyrosine base
• DU stands for Alpha-amylase Dextrinizing units
• LU stands for Lipase Units, and so on.
The authorities are putting pressure on all companies to comply with unit activity.
The Sources
Plant sourced enzymes are perfect for human beings as they are more active in the
PH range (acid/alkalinity) found in the digestive system of humans. There is quite
a difference in PH range which explains the superior effects from plant sourced
enzymes. Examples of other sources of inferior enzymes are:
• Pancreatin is a protease product from ox or bovine.
• Trypsin comes from bovine.
• Papain is a weak form of amylase.
• Bromelain a weak Protease.
How do I know what is a good formula to take?

when we all ate pure fresh and alive foods, full of nutrients and full of enzymes.
starchy
Many people are only just discovering that there are some foods that actually do
carbohydrates harm to us such as:
and other junk 1. Bread, pastry, biscuits, breakfast cereals, rice , potatoes, pasta. Any starchy foods
foods in the diet that contain fungus (mycotoxins) and also create a high level of glucose in the
blood stream (higher than 40 on the glycaemic index) will cause inflammation
and free radical damage (indicated by the rise in C-reactive proteins). High glucose
in the blood stream, combined with proteins leads to a chemical process know as
glycation. When high glucose glycates proteins in fats or protein clotting agents
floating around the blood stream, it results in up to 50 times more free radical
damage. Only Eat Sprouted Seed breads (see the specification in the suffix).
2. Foods cooked in microwave ovens or cooked at high temperature for over 5
minutes or that have been irradiated. Processed foods from a factory will certainly
come in this category. All of these are nearly useless to deliver the nutrients.
By stopping eating unhealthy foods we stop the damage and we get a chance to
eat real foods to replace them. The real foods are discussed in the next section as
well as the shopping list later.
Except carrots and beet there are possibly no good starchy carbohydrates.
According to various studies Starchy Carbohydrates:
1. Have too much Glucose (causing Glycation of proteins and subsequent free
radical damage)
2. Have too many Mycotoxins (fungus) causing Chronic Inflammation.

8. Upset the hormonal system via the thyroid (and get us addicted to the

9. Make us fat (too much glucose is quickly converted to fat for safety).
10. Cause Diabetes Type 2 as a result of glucose overload into the cells.
11. Blocks the uptake and manufacture of nutrients and especially B. Vitamins in
the intestines.
There are no good reasons to eat them, except to help the bank balance of the
food industry (that is why they call it a ‘balanced diet’). But seriously, we may be
addicted to them and need to take care just how much of them we eat. Once
you have regained your health a small amount of complex starchy carbohydrates
such as brown rice, small jacket potatoes etc. can be included, but not mixed with
proteins (meat/fish etc.).
Over 100 years ago a GP, Dr Hay, noticed that when he asked patients to stop
eating starchy carbohydrates and proteins together at the same meal they became
much healthier. This is called the Hay diet, or food combining and has been used
by many people in the last 100 years. Sir John Mills, the actor credited his 96 years
of health to food combining.

curried vegetables is acceptable, or a few new potatoes with your salad or veggies
will just be OK. Just be sensible.
Three ideas to get them in your foods:
1. An easy way to get six of those vegetables in one meal is in soup. This can be
blended with tomatoes and herbs, garlic and other natural flavours to give to
you whatever fits the bill.
2. Six vegetables in a stir-fry for dinner
3. Fruit salad for breakfast
This will give you your 16 Portions daily - great! Get creative to give you at least 5
recipe choices for each meal on your weekly menu. It is good to cycle the same
meal only within 3-5 days (except soup). If fish/meat are eaten then make sure the
fish and meats are naturally reared, not intensively farmed. Later I have given some
ideas to get you started. Build on it with all of your cookbooks and check out the
magazines for great recipes. You must end up with your own perfect recipe book/
scrapbook to keep you on track.

What do they do?
• Attack and kill unfriendly yeast, fungi, bacteria, virus and parasites.
• Synthesize B vitamins and help them to be absorbed.
• Enable Taurine, an important amino acid, to be absorbed.
• Keep the intestines clean and healthy
• Break down hydrocarbons, improving absorption through the digestive system.
• Stimulate the body to produce natural alpha-interferon, a potent immune
system enhancer.

Deficiency Trace minerals are missing from the soil and even organically grown food is
seriously deficient in trace minerals. All minerals in the spectrum are needed as
in the 60+ they act as co-factors to each other.
trace minerals Minerals and trace minerals are either low or missing completely from our soils and
needed in a hence our foods. An example of this is selenium. Studies show that it is essential
for many functions in the body and many studies show that a deficiency leaves
healthy diet us open to cancers and heart disease. Farmers know this and give their breeding
animals extra selenium and other minerals in their feed to ensure the animals
stay healthy. The government of Finland know this and in 1984 made a law that
selenium must be in the food chain. Finland has had a drop in the cancer and heart
disease rates, compared to a steady rise in the UK and USA. This is only one mineral
out of more than 70 that were previously found in the soil. In the past 50 years,
according to the statistics from the United Kingdom Ministry of Agriculture, some
of the major minerals are down to 25% compared to the 1950’s. It is obvious that as
minerals are critical in good health then only by supplementation can we achieve
good health.
I will repeat the findings of the study quoted earlier, because the findings are so
dramatic.
Nutritionist, Dr David Thomas, gave the following findings on mineral depletion at
a lecture (published in the Nutrition & Health, the Journal of the McCarrison Society for
Nutrition & Health Vol 17:no 2, 2003).

Essential Fatty Many people are confused about fats and oils as the media and nutritionists are
always going on about low fat or how fats are bad for us, give us Heart disease/
acids cancer, and make us fat. Well the truth is the opposite; fats are essential for our
good health. New studies are now showing that even saturated fats are not as bad
as previously thought.
Fats are essential for our brains, our eyes, our heart and many other functions. They
even help you to lose weight. Well what is going on?
Two things:
1. The information given out about by the authorities on nutrition is mostly wrong
and at least misleading.
2. The food industry want to sell ‘low-fat foods’ as though they are good for losing
weight and health promoting. The truth is the opposite. Ask the long living
people in the Mediterranean. Fats keep you healthy but NOT when eaten with
starchy carbohydrates, so be warned.
Warning
There are artificially manufactured fats ‘Trans Fatty Acids or Hydrogenated Fats’
that do you serious harm and the fact that they are allowed to be sold and
included in snacks, causing such harm, is testimony to the power of the food
industry’s political contributions.

If we do not have the proper mix of oxygen and glucose then less ATP is
produced and Lactic Acid is produced instead.
• Our Cells cannot regenerate properly if they do not have enough energy. As
well as physical energy this ATP is needed to energise the regeneration of our
cells. Without it they will start to degenerate.
• The immune system fails without high levels of oxygen and we open ourselves
to disease with a deficiency.
Why do we not get enough Oxygen?
• Poor Breathing.
• Sedentary Lifestyle.
• Pollution.
• Emotional stress or possibly from trauma.
• Infection.
How can we get more oxygen to avoid problems?
• Take oxygen absorbing enzymes - these enzymes are extracted from
seaweed and allow your cells to take in more oxygen. This happens almost

immediately and those suffering lung problems will notice within minutes the
improvement. These are used by athletes for endurance and by air travellers
to overcome oxygen-deficit jet lag. If you are unable to get more oxygen any
other way, or you need it for the other reasons mentioned previously, then it is
an essential and effective way to improve your health.
• Exercise for Oxygen - as well as better oxygen, there are other good reasons
to exercise daily, including muscle maintenance and lymphatic drainage. The
old saying ‘Use it or Lose it’ gets truer as we get older and something is better
than nothing. For able people, fast walking for 60 minutes daily or rebounding
on a mini trampoline (some now have safety rails) are the best ways to get
basic exercise. Swimming does not compare, except maybe crawl or butterfly
strokes, definitely not breaststroke.
• Improve breathing - With our ‘sitting down’ lifestyle the majority of people
are breathing into their chest as opposed to the diaphragm (tummy). To
improve oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, exercising to regain correct
breathing is essential.
• Breathing Exercises - Correct breathing is rare (ask any singing teacher)
but is essential for good health. It takes a lot of practice to use the correct
breathing cycle, usually lost through too much stress and not enough
walking (60 mins. per day).
A simple exercise to correct breathing can be started while lying on our back.
The breath should be taken into the diaphragm/tummy (not the chest). The tummy
should inflate like a balloon when we take a breath in and deflate under our rib
cage when we breathe out. This will be difficult to begin with, as the internal
tummy muscles will have become very weak from lack of use. You can correct this
as with any muscle rebuilding by repeating the exercise every day. Choose a time
and place that will be most convenient e.g. just before rising in the morning and
going to bed at night. The action is:
• Take a breath in (let the tummy expand) to the count of 3.
• Hold the breath in to the count of 3.
• Breath out to the count of 6 - deflating your tummy under the rib cage.
• Repeat for as many cycles as you can manage.
• Try to increase daily by 1 or 2 breaths.
This should give you around 5-6 breaths per minute.

being drunk I guarantee you are not drinking enough. Many Natural Health Practitioners have
found that a major part of the epidemic of degenerative diseases is dehydration
daily (8-12 from not drinking enough water. Water helps all the major organs to function
½ pint glasses). more efficiently. The kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, arteries and veins all need
adequate supplies of water to work at their optimum.
One of the most notable side effects of drinking 8+ glasses of water a day is your
skin, which is about 70% water. You will get complimented often on your skin
when you increase your intake of water. Watch the cells plump up and wrinkles
disappear… really! Headaches will also be reduced dramatically.
page 116
Food and Lifestyle in Detail for Good Health
According to Dr. Susan Shireffs, of the Biomedical Services Department at Aberdeen
University “By the time you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Even small levels
of dehydration can cause headaches, lethargy, an overall lack of alertness and
changes in mood”.
So how can you tell if you are dehydrated? One way is by checking your urine. If
it’s bright yellow then you’re probably dehydrated. Once you are re-hydrated it will
become very pale and clear. Results however depend on the quality of the water
you consume. I’d suggest staying away from, or at least cutting down on, fizzy
drinks. All those little bubbles are carbon dioxide. We expel the carbon dioxide
while breathing out, as it’s poison to the body. So why do we choose to put it back
in again in the form of carbonated drinks? Probably because we didn’t know any
better… but we do now!
Fizzy drinks like cola not only dehydrate you, but may also contain around eight
cubes of sugar per can - even worse are the diet colas with huge amounts of
chemicals like aspartame…UGH! Steer clear of these if you want good health.
We are walking around dehydrated… just think of a dried prune and you’ve got
the picture!
Muscles store about 16% of our water, so no wonder they are not able to function
when dehydrated. They become flabby and soft and find it harder to hold the
skeleton in its correct position. Once we have re-hydrated our muscles, you may
be surprised to see your posture change, as they are now able to hold the skeleton
in place much more easily. This is where you often find that backache, and general
aches and pains disappear.
The brain too, is mostly water, and dehydration shows as poor memory, inability
to think quickly and a general sluggish thought process. All of these symptoms are
much improved by drinking lots more water - lots more than you think you need.
Remember, we have to re-hydrate first.
It’s interesting to note that the Hypothalamus, the master of the endocrine system,
houses both the receptors for thirst and hunger close together, so often these
signals get confused. When we think we are hungry, we may in fact be thirsty and
a glass of water will do the trick. The secret is not to wait until you feel thirsty, as by
that point your body is telling you that you are already dehydrated.
You need to drink more water. Tea, coffee, juices, and specifically soft drinks, cannot
be classed as water. Only water is water (and do not drink it regularly iced or
chilled). The very best water in a clean natural environment is rainwater. If you have
ever washed your hair in rainwater you will know what I mean.
How Much to Drink? If you are not travelling and have regular access to the
bathroom then the following is ideal:
• Drink 1 pint immediately on waking up in the morning. Do not eat or drink
anything else for 30-60 minutes. If you are suffering from constipation (defined
as less than 2 bowel movements per day) then make this 2 pints for a week and
then try just 1 pint.
• Do not drink liquid with meals, as this will dilute your digestive juices. Then, to
help your digestion even more, try to wait 30 minutes before you have a drink
after your meal. The rest of the day, drink 1 glass (½ pint) every waking hour
until 7pm. This should be 10-12 glasses per day as well as the first pint. If you
have bladder or prostate problems this water is even more important and you
should also call the ‘help line’ for the action plan to solve that problem urgently.
The best available water filter that can be plumbed in is the ‘Reverse Osmosis’
filter. These also come as a counter-top unit and are the least difficult to look after.
page 117
Food and Lifestyle in Detail for Good Health
Reverse Osmosis filters range in price from around £200 for the counter-top
version to about £350.00 for the plumbed-in unit. They can also be rented for
approx. £5.00 per week.
Another good water filter is a water distiller. These come in two forms: the counter
top, 1 gallon Distiller and a plumbed-in unit that fits in a cupboard. Both are only
obtainable from specialist suppliers. They can be difficult to plumb in and probably
the counter top version, at about £150.00, is the best to start out with.
The next best filter is the carbon block filter or ceramic block filter. Both of these are
normally plumbed-in but can come as ‘counter top’ units that you fill up.
The most common of the ‘counter top’ filters is the Jug filter that can be bought at
most health stores or chemists. These are the best (except for determined health
participants) and cost between £20-£30 each. I really do recommend that you start
with one of these and move on to the other options when you have established
your action plan for good health. The downside of it is that the filter needs changing
every 2-4 weeks to remain effective. You can always keep this as a travel filter.
Unfortunately, most tap water in Britain does not meet EU regulations and, even
after using a water filter, traces of poisons such as aluminum, lead, cadmium,
iron, arsenic and nitrates are still likely to be there. Anna Selby, the author of ‘H2O:
Healing Water for Mind and Body’ states that about 800 chemicals have been found
in British drinking water.
The best way to filter your water is by fitting a filtering system that purifies your
tap water and removes impurities including minerals, fluoride, e-coli bacteria and
nitrates. A portable water filter does filter out the worst of the bacterial contaminants
and is better than tap water - just remember to change the filter regularly.
When you are out traveling, bottled ‘still’ water is acceptable as a temporary
substitute. Important note - if your tap water comes from underground wells
(water company or private) then you should seriously look at a good filter as the
inorganic minerals can cause problems.
If you are determined to go with the tap water then fill a jug with boiling water and
leave it to stand for an hour before using it to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Try
not to drink it from the tap.
Lack of sunshine While you may be put off the sun by the scare stories of skin cancer, the truth again is
the opposite. We need sunshine on our skin at least 3-4 times per week for about 30
on the skin minutes. Other than obviously too hot mid day sun, taking the sun will keep our Vitamin
D levels and who knows what else it does to our feel good hormones and other juices.
The facts are that people who live in sunny climates and eat more vegetables and
fish live longer and healthier than anyone else. Of course walking will give you this
exposure. If you cannot walk then get out and sit in it.
A feeling of This is critical for good health. I do not mean becoming a control freak of those
around you, I mean carefully considering what you want to do in life, balancing
control over this against your responsibilities and then getting on with your course of action. Of
one’s life course the greatest fulfilment is when we are helping others, we feel much better
compared to worrying about how the world is unfair to us. If you are depressed it is
probably caused by a shortage of minerals and poor diet. Get these corrected and
then evaluate the next step.
Get hope and a vision for the future.
The above steps have been shown in studies to be major factors in
whether disease and premature death can be avoided.

Junk-the-Junk Foods
Before we start on the basic ‘10 Step Plan’. I want to make one last plea for getting
the junk food out of your life. I know it is usually tasty to say the least but the fact
is junk foods all have: high glucose, sugar and salt and all become addictive. Who
wants to be an addict all of their life and pay for it with poor health?
What are Junk Foods?
• Breads pastry, biscuits, breakfast cereals, polished (white) rice, potatoes and
potato products, parsnips and pasta.
• Intensive farmed meats and fish i.e. fed on grains and cereals to fatten them
quickly instead of the natural food in nature. Smoked meats, sausages and
practically any processed fish and meats.
• Homogenised and pasteurised milk, cheeses, yoghurts and in fact any milk
products. It is believed by many researchers that processed milk products
can cause cancer and other problems. If you want these in your life then it is
possible to obtain what is known as organic raw milk products. They are not
perfect, but I believe they are much healthier than the processed types.
• ALL Fruit Juices from shops are pasteurised and should be avoided. There is no
such thing as fresh squeezed juice from a shop. Gasp... you mean they tell lies?
Yes, they at least mislead you. Small amounts of juice that you have made fresh
from the fruit are acceptable. It is much better to eat the full fruit.
• Do not eat food that has been micro-waved or irradiated. Studies show that
these foods reduce the life span of any animal (or human) eating them.
• It is difficult to list every junk food, but basically anything that is processed in a
factory and then repackaged in boxes, bottles, or cartons. Frozen fresh is 2nd
best to fresh. Tinned is a poor 3rd because of the high temperatures they are
subject to in preparation.
The list includes the following at least:
• Breads • Grains • Corn • Wheat
• Rice • Dates • Processed foods • Potatoes
• Breakfast cereals • Root vegetables • Pastry • Biscuits
• Sweets • Sugars • Ice cream • Meats
• Cakes • Soft drinks • Fruit juices • Dairy products

The 10 Step ‘Good Health for Life’Plan
In the following pages you will see the basic action plan for general good health.
Any action plan for a particular condition will obviously get better results when
combined with this Basic Health Plan.
The following is my Basic Health Plan that has been used by many thousands with
great success. It needs to be used in conjunction with the enzymes and is strongly
advised as a continuing life style choice for good health for the rest of your life.
You may have been told that all you need is in a balanced diet. The Ministry of
Agriculture’s own figures show that some minerals have reduced by 75% over the
past 50 years.
If anyone tells you that the nutrients for health are contained in a balanced diet
then you have my permission to call them “an ignorant fool” from me.
page 121
Action plan for a Dysfunctional Digestive System
I have had discussions with thousands of suffers of just about very disease and a
common factor is that the majority suffer some sort of digestive tract problem. This
ranges for the minor indigestion to severe inflammatory bowel diseases. I have
to be honest and tell everyone that while my nutritional programs can help their
problem, until they get there digestive tract healthy then full recovery will not
happen. This is why everyone should consider a digestive recovery program.
“For Bowel Diseases or Digestive Tract Recovery Take (in order of priority): ”
1. Digestive Enzymes
Ensures proper digestion and absorption of food that will the help heal the
digestive system and improve general health.
2. Gastro Enzyme and herbal complex
To heal the digestive tract.
3. Probiotic 9 Strains
Ensures a healthy digestive tract by killing the unfriendly bacteria, keeping the
Candida in check, helping the digestion of food and ensuring critical nutrients such
as Taurine are absorbed. The are also responsible for the manufacture of certain
important B Vitamins in the digestive system.
4. Oxygen and Aloe Vera Formula
Take 1-2oz, 30mins before food to help heal the digestive tract and support the
Probiotic. Probiotic are oxygen respiring bacteria and the addition of oxygen will
help them thrive. The oxygen will also help to kill any pathogenic bacteria and
fungus. The addition of Aloe Vera with its well-know healing effect on the digestive
system makes these two components critical.
5. Curcumin98
in serious health and bowel problems (Crohn’s etc) This is an extract from Turmeric
and has the following digestive benefits:
• Helps protect against or lessen the degree of kidney lesions
• Increase the production of digestive fluids and reduce gas
• Lowers cholesterol levels in kidney and liver tissue
• Protection against free radical damage
• Neutralizing of free radicals
• Possesses anti-inflammatory actions
• Relieves pain and inflammation in mucosal tissue
• Possesses anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-parasitic activity
6. Essential Herbal Cleanse
To cleanse and restore digestive system and whole body system (if not already
done yearly).

Basic tips for 1. Take Digestive enzymes
healthier eating 2. Do not drink liquid just before, during, or after your meals (this means tea
coffee, large glasses of water etc. but a glass of wine is OK).
3. Chew each mouthful of food at least 20 times until it is liquid in your mouth (or
blend it if you have difficulty chewing, otherwise it will not absorb).
4. Take longer over your meal and eat only when relaxed.
5. Eat at least three meals every day and only eat fruit between meals.
No food will be digested without Enzymes; no food will be assimilated without
enzymes. Many natural practitioners just prescribe enzymes; drinking of more
water and good nutrition and health recovery follows very quickly. If you cannot
bear to eat your food raw, then you can only digest and assimilate it with additional
enzymes taken before each meal.
When we eat a large amount of grains and cereals, we do not realise we are missing
out on foods that contain high levels of nutrients - there are very few nutrients
(proportionately) in grains and cereals that are not found in real foods, as well as
“Eat your greens for many more. What are real foods? Vegetables (mainly plants, with only a few root

• Romaine Lettuce 5,700 mcg • Cooked Broccoli 1,800 mcg
• Pumpkin 1,500 mcg • Summer Squash 1,200 mcg

Health Soup™’ later in this section.
I explained earlier that excess glucose in the bloodstream causes Glycation. This is
where the body’s cells are damaged by this excess glucose and, unless you are a
marathon runner, you will almost certainly be overdosing on glucose if you eat the
standard amount of carbohydrate and starchy foods that has become the habit in
the modern diet.
Where do we get this excess glucose? The foods that cause this unhealthy rise in
glucose are officially called ‘High Glycaemic foods’. I call them junk foods.
Glycaemic Index
The Glycaemic Index (G.I.) is a numerical system of measuring how fast a
carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar - the higher the number, the
greater the blood sugar response. So a low G.I. food will cause a small rise, while a
high G.I. food will trigger a dramatic spike.
A list of carbohydrates with their Glycaemic values is shown on the following
pages. The list is ordered by the G.I., which makes it easy to locate high or low G.I.
foods. Except as noted, each of the G.I. values shown is based on around 80 studies
in the professional literature referenced in the G.I. Factor.
There are two Glycaemic indexes, based on:
1. White bread = 100
2. Glucose = 100.
page 124
Foods & Recipe Data Sheets
The fact that there are two glycaemic indexes is confusing. I have shown the
Glucose Index.
Scientists fed 50 grams of glucose to their test subjects. They saw that this amount
of glucose raised their subjects’ blood glucose to a certain level. They called that
level 100, which became the base of the index. Then they tested their subjects with
other foods. If, for example, one of those foods raised their test subjects’ blood
glucose level 70 percent as much on average as the glucose did, then they assigned
an index of 70 to that food. And so on with other foods tested.
Try to substitute foods that are lower on the list for the higher Glycaemic foods
that you have been eating up till now. OBVIOUSLY, THE LOWER THE BETTER - in my
opinion, less than 45 would be ideal.
DIABETES - By eating regular meals from low Glucose Index foods you will also
avoid or reverse Type 2, or age related diabetes (and get off the drugs).
If you mix two foods, one with a low number such as spinach (22), and one with a
high number such as green lentil (67) then the result on your body is the average of
these two (67+22 = 89 ÷ 2 = 45) and therefore do not worry about making a dish,
say soup, with some foods that are nutritious but of the higher numbers, when the
majority of low GI food such as vegetables will bring down the average.

Organic Sprouted I recommend this because it is the only UK bread made from Organic Wheat Grass.
Wheat Bread Centuries ago, especially in biblical times, bread was made simply, purely and
naturally, using just sprouted wheat and water. This is believed to be the healthiest
of bread. Now such bread is available again, but this time with a number of varieties
to choose from.
ORGANIC SPROUTED BREAD is available in Original Plain, or with Raisins, Dates and
Fruit and Almond.
Benefits:
• Sprouted grain bread has almost double the fibre and protein content than any
other bread
• It is lower in calories, and virtually fat and salt free.
page 139
• It is ideal for people looking for a low fat, energy food, as it provides sustained
energy, using complex carbohydrates.
• It is also ideal for an increasing number of people with special dietary needs, as
it contains no ingredients other than Organic Wheat Grass and filtered water -
no flour, yeast, fats, sugar, sweeteners, eggs, salt or dairy products.
• Sprouted Wheat breads have been known to be eaten by those on Wheat-Free,
and Gluten-Free diets, as well with no detrimental effects.
• But perhaps most remarkably, despite its healthy ingredients, it is delicious too!
The high nutritional content of the sprouted grain bread is achieved through
the special process by which it is made. Firstly, they soak only the best organic
wheat kernels in pure filtered water, under tightly controlled conditions. These are
then allowed to sprout naturally. Once fully germinated, the sprouts are ground,
blended with organic dried fruit where appropriate, formed into loaf shapes and
baked slowly and gently at low temperatures.
Sprouting of the grain significantly increases the protein, vitamin and enzyme
content of the breads, whilst complex starches in the grain are converted to natural
sugars, providing the body with an easily digested, rich energy source. Because at
Sunnyvale they use the whole grain, the breads contain 100% of the bran fibre and
wheat germ of the original grain, naturally producing typically almost double the
fibre content of everyday bread. The resulting bread is highly nutritious, traditional,
filling, as well as full of flavour.
Eat Right 4 Your Type: Research in the USA by Dr D’Adamo has shown that to
maintain perfect health, we should eat according to our Blood Type, because the
different lectins in food react differently in our bodies, that is, your blood type
determines which foods are right for you. This research has also shown that though
wheat is not suitable for all blood types, Sprouted Wheat on the other hand is
suitable for ALL Blood Types.
As if all of the above was not enough the Original Sprouted Bread is also available
in the following delicious Flavours: Raisin, Date and Fruit & Almond. Sunnyvale
Organic Sprouted Wheat Breads are available in most good health stores.

Coleus Forshkolii • Asthma cases have increased 400% since 1980, to approximately 3 million.
and Tylphora • Asthma is characterized by a hyper-response of the trachea and bronchi to
various stimuli, which results in a narrowing of the airways in the lung.
Asthmatica Spray • Mast cells are intimately involved in releasing chemical mediators that
enhance or inhibit the asthmatic attack.
For example • Mast cells have receptors for cAMP and cGMP.
AsmaSpray™ CAMP inhibits the release of histamine, cAMP is released under the stimulation of the
enzyme adenylate cyclase. The receptor that activates this enzyme is the beta-receptor.
Drugs that are beta-receptor agonists enhance cAMP release, and inhibit histamine
release that eases the asthmatic attack. The relative ratios of cAMP and cGMP have a
direct consequence on whether an asthma attack will occur. The problem with drugs
is their considerable side effects. Steroids have unpleasant side effects including:
Inhibiting growth, stomach upset, weight gain and thinning of bone density.
It is the ability of C. forskholii to activate intracellular cAMP that makes it so
valuable as a therapeutic component of AsthmaEnd. Forskolin stimulates the
enzyme adenylate cyclase to release cAMP, which inhibits the release of chemical
mediators. This relaxes bronchial smooth muscle and prevents bronchi-spasm.
Recommended Usage: Use one pump 6-8 sprays once a day under the tongue, or
as directed by a health care professional. For best results, hold under the tongue for

Oxygen A unique natural oxygen-enhancing compound that allows more oxygen to enter
the bloodstream with each breath.
Absorbing
Thousands of Oximeter tests have demonstrated that the amount of oxygen in the
Enzymes (OAE) bloodstream can be increased in less than a minute after OAE is taken.
For example A small amount of OAE helps the lungs to get rid of a large amount of waste gases. Its
OxySorb™ action is easy to understand, when you realise that there is only a certain amount of
haemoglobin (the type of cells which transport gases) in the body. These cells load up
with oxygen (and the other gases that you’ve just breathed in) as they pass through
the lungs. On their trip through the body, they drop off oxygen and pick up more
waste gases that are typically but not exclusively carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon
dioxide (CO2). When they get back to the lungs, the waste gases must be exhaled, so
the haemoglobin can be loaded with more oxygen (and the cycle can start over).
OAE is extracted from Norwegian seaweed, which has to produce oxygen from CO2
in low temperature and virtual darkness. (That’s a much more difficult task than
plants usually face, since their chlorophyll usually is aided by warmth and adequate
sunlight!) OAE is a blessing for persons who need more oxygen due to reduced
oxygen in the local air (because of high altitude or pollution, during jet travel,
and when in a sealed building or when trapped in traffic); or because of increased
demands (common when doing heavy physical labour, or for athletes in training
and in competition).
OAE is unique. Helping the body extract more oxygen from the ambient air, it
provides more oxygen than any other product. Athletes in competition can use it
without compromising urine testing, and it is also used by people of all ages. It can
be taken as often as needed. It is also acceptable to vegetarians, since it contains no
animal products.
By using sublingual technology already pioneered in other areas, a version of the
seaweed that is absorbed in the mouth has a dramatic effect on the oxygen levels
of the blood - and it acts quickly.
page 147
OAE is prepared for maximum oral absorption by inclusion of naturally occurring
plant extracts that neutralise the digestive effect of saliva while it’s held in the
mouth. Oximeter tests show that for most people, the oxygen saturation of their
blood increases, significantly, in less than one minute after it is taken.
Homocysteine Overcomes the poor absorption of B12 and other nutrients through the
digestive tract. Also helps to:
Control Formula
• Lower Homocysteine levels • Prevent heart disease
Vitamin B12 • Prevent Alzheimer’s • Prevent cardiovascular disease
& Folic Acid Homocysteine Elevation
Sublingual The inner lining of blood vessels, known as the endothelium, is sensitive to irritation
or abrasion. High levels of homocysteine have been shown to cause endothelial
damage and thus initiate the atherosclerotic lesions that lead to heart disease.
Elevated Homocysteine levels are associated with a wide variety of other
diseases including:
• Depression • Birth defects • Rheumatoid arthritis
• Multiple sclerosis • Alzheimer’s disease • Osteoporosis
• Diabetes
Homocysteine is located at a junction of several key metabolic pathways in
the body. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of cysteine from methionine. A
deficiency of vitamin B-12, folic acid, and/or vitamin B-6 can block this pathway,
causing build-up of toxic levels of homocysteine. Supplementation of these
nutrients facilitates the pathway, reducing homocysteine levels.
Homocysteine is the best single indicator of whether you are likely to live long
or die young.
Staying healthy, happy, clearheaded and full of energy into old age - this is what
we all want. But insuring that we do depends on how well we can ’read’ the state
of our health. What if there was a single test that could do that, as well as point the
way to a super healthy future? Fortunately, there is. This test measures your level of
homocysteine, an amino acid that is found naturally in the blood.
High levels of homcysteine, or a high ‘H’ score, predicts your risk of more than 100
diseases and medical conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular
disease, arthritis, cancer and depression. In fact, it is more accurate than a
cholesterol reading for predicting the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Homocysteine is a strong risk factor for alzheimer’s disease.
New England Journal of Medicine. 2002 Feb 14; 346:476-483
Subjects from the ‘Framingham Study’ were examined over an eight-year period.
Baseline homocysteine levels measured eight years earlier were examined in
relation to those individuals who developed dementia on follow-up. The study
concluded that an increased homocysteine level is a strong, independent risk
factor for the development of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s
nearly doubled in subjects with a high level of homocysteine. (Some researchers
believe dementia begins many years before the symptoms become apparent. One
HomoCysteine Control Spray daily starts lowering homocysteine now).
Alzheimer’s patients found deficient in B12 and folate.
Journal of Gerontology and Biological Sciences, 1997 Mar; 76-79
This study showed that patients with Alzheimer’s disease were deficient in both
folate and B12 compared to age matched controls. (HomoCysteine Spray provides
“ready-to absorb” patented Metafolin®, identical to folate in green leafy vegetables,
and B12+ a coenzyme that overcomes obstacles to absorbing B12).
Higher risk of death shown with even mildly elevated homocysteine levels

SAM-e SAM-e stands for S-adenosyl-l-methionine. It is one of the most innovative and
multifunctional food supplements on the market.
Essential food
SAM-e is a substance produced by our own body. It plays a central part in almost all
for Every Healthy body processes. But the older we get, the more drastically the level of SAM-e in our
Living Cell body decreases. Yet recent medical science has discovered and proved that SAM-e
is responsible for the repair and stimulation of cell growth.
In our brains SAM-e helps production of dopamine and serotonin. Consequently,
SAM-e plays a stimulating role in case of stress related depressions. SAM-e also
conquers the negative effects of CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). Its positive effect
on the brains can be helpful for people suffering from Alzheimer’s.
In case of liver disorders like hepatitis, SAM-e takes care of a faster destruction and
elimination of the toxins.
SAM-e co-operates at the repair of cells. Therefore it is also beneficial in case of
arthrosis, since it helps to repair the cartilage. This makes it an ideal product to
combine with glucosamine.
General Benefits of SAM-e:
• Counteracts stress, emotional imbalance and depression.
• Relieves CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).
• Optimises liver functions and counteracts liver disorders (e.g. due to excessive
use of alcohol or use of medicines).
• Beneficial effects in case of Alzheimer’s.
• Improves the health of joints and ligaments (see SAM-e Joint).
Why choose SAM-e 200mg?
1. SAM-e occurs as SAM-e-tosylate-disulphate (very stable). It is a chiral molecule
appearing under two forms: the S,S and the R,S-form. Only the SS form is
biologically active.
page 149
2. SAM-e contains approx. 80% S,S SAM-e, which is the highest possible active
form. It is a completely natural product, manufactured via fermentation.
3. The tablets are enteric coated (coated with an acid resistant layer); this way they
can resist the stomach acid, and are only absorbed entirely in the blood when
reaching the small intestine.
Ideal supplement for anyone facing stress, depression, liver disorders, fatigue
or CFS.
SAM-e is perhaps the safest and most effective antidepressant in the world. SAM-e
is a precursor for Glutathione, coenzyme A, cysteine, and taurine.
One study measured the post-mortem levels of SAM-e in the brains of 11 patients
with Alzheimer’s disease. Decreased levels of S-adenosylmethionine (-67 to -85%)
and its demethylated product S-adenosylhomocysteine (-56 to -79%) were found
in all brain areas examined as compared with matched controls (n = 14) (Morrison
et al. 1996).
A review article of SAM-e concluded that intravenous or oral administration
of SAM-e represents a possible treatment for Alzheimer’s dementia, subacute
combined degeneration of the spinal cord (SACD), and HIV-related neuropathies,
as well as in patients with metabolic disorders such as folate reductase deficiency
(Bottiglieri et al. 1994).
Dosage and Uses:
• 1 or 2 tablets daily are suggested.
• Taking this product with food may avoid gastrointestinal disturbance
• Refrigeration is recommended.
• Take folic acid, vitamins B12, and B6 when using SAM-e.
Caution: Do not use SAM-e with antidepressant medications, except under
a doctor’s care. At levels above 400 mg daily, SAM-e may cause dry mouth,
restlessness and gastrointestinal problems. Cutting back on dosage and then
increasing it slowly should alleviate these symptoms.

Calcium + Indications:
Diabetes Diabetes Nutrition helps to normalise the blood sugar levels and may stimulate
natural production of insulin.
Nutrition
It should contain the following ingredients:
For example • Gymnema Sylvestra that has the ability to normalize blood glucose function
Pancreas+ by repairing, revitalizing and regenerating the beta cells of the pancreas.
Support™ • Vanadyl Sulphate has partially restored insulin production, protected the
size and content of pancreatic islets, maintained glucose tolerance regardless
of insulin levels, maintained levels of glucose, lipids, creatinine and thyroid
hormone, and corrected heart function and glycerol output from adipose tissue.
• Chromium Polynicotinate reduces fasting glycaemia, mean blood glucose and
glycated haemoglobin.
page 154
• Niacin (B3) is vital for proper synthesis of insulin, and metabolism of
carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Synergistic formulation needs Gymnema Sylvestre, the only substance scientifically
shown to regenerate Pancreatic B-cells.
Gymnema Sylvestre
Research shows that the average person consumes 12lbs. of sugar a year.
The results of this sugar binge are: hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Syndrome X, A.G.E. products, cataracts and various
forms of neuropathy. These are the chronic diseases of our times. The frontline
organ dealing with this glucose onslaught is the pancreas. The increasing levels of
diabetes and dysglycemia problems are indicators that the pancreas is not up to
dealing with this level of sweetness.
Gymnema sylvestre, a woody climber from the tropical forests of India, has been
shown to repair/revitalize/regenerate the pancreas. In one study, Streptozotocin
was used to induce diabetes in rats. Gymnema treated rats had increased insulin
secre-tion and beta cell number. There was no effect on normal rats. Rabbits
induced diabetes with Alloxan showed the same results. Tests in humans with both
Type I and Type II diabetes Gymnema was shown to be effective. Gymnema extract
was able to reduce blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin, glycosylated plasma
proteins, increased C-peptide levels and conventional diabetic drug therapy. These
effects are not noted with standard conventional therapy. All patients developed
secondary hypoglycaemic symptoms and had to have their drug dosages reduced
after several weeks.
When tested on healthy Individuals, Gymnema does not produce any acute
reduction in fasting blood glucose levels. This research is starting to overturn the
conventional concept that the pancreatic beta cell in juvenile, maturity-onset and
experimentally Induced diabetes is Irreversible.
Gymnema extract has the ability to normalize blood glucose function by repairing/
revitalizing and regenerating the beta cells of the pancreas. Gymnema in traditional
Indian medicine is known as a stomachic, diuretic, and diabetic controller. In Sanskrit
it’s known as Meshashringl and in Hindi, Gurmar. Both names refer to its ability to
destroy sugar. Gymnema has the interesting properly of being able to stop sweet
taste. This property was investigated in the early 1900’s and a crude fraction known
as ‘gymnemic acid’. This fraction not only stopped sweet taste but glycouria.
Modern research has isolated a polypeptide, gurmarin that is responsible for
stopping the sweet taste. Several triterpenpoid saponins have been isolated that
have the blood glucose regulating effect.
Vanadyl Sulphate
Vanadyl Sulphate, a salt of the mineral vanadium (vanadium oxySulphate), has
demonstrated insulin-like effects on glucose metabolism in both animal and
human trials. (2,3) Clinical trials have shown a significant decrease in Insulin
requirements by patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus after Vanadyl
Sulphate therapy and a significant decrease in cholesterol levels in both insulin-
dependent and non insulin-dependent diabetics. There was an increase in basal
mitogen-activated protein and S6 kinase activities in mononuclear cells from both
groups that mimicked the effect of insulin stimulation in controls. (3) Vanadyl
Sulphate given to diabetic rats stimulates glucose uptake and metabolism leading
to glucose normalization. Rats with Streptozotocin-induced diabetes were given
Vanadyl Sulphate for three weeks. Although insulin levels were still depressed,
glucose tolerance was normalized.
page 155
Vanadyl Sulphate has also been shown to lower high blood pressure in the same
rats, as a result of the reduction in excess insulin. Vanadyl Sulphate is likely to be
beneficial for diabetes mellitus. It partially restored insulin production in diabetic
rats’ pancreas tissue. Three weeks of Vanadyl Sulphate treatment, followed by 13
weeks without it, still protected the size and insulin content of pancreas islets. It
also maintained glucose tolerance regardless of insulin levels. In another study
on diabetic rats, Vanadyl Sulphate maintained the normal levels of glucose, lipids,
creatinine, and thyroid hormone. It also corrected abnormalities in heart function
and in glycerol output from adipose tissue.
Muscle cells show increased intake of glucose, amino acids, & insulin. Muscles
increase tissue formation and retention. Less protein from muscles is available for
fuel, so the body turns to fat for fuel. As the metabolic rate increases, the muscles’
sensitivity to Vanadyl appears to increase.
Glycogen production is increased in muscle and liver cells. The result: less fat, more
muscle, and more endurance. Vanadyl Sulphate is beneficial for diabetes mellitus.
It partially restored insulin production, protected the size and insulin content
of pancreas Islets, maintained glucose tolerance regardless of insulin levels,
maintained the normal levels of glucose, lipids, creatinine, and thyroid hormone,
corrected heart function, and glycerol output from adipose tissue.
Niacin (B-3)
Vitamin B3, also called Niacin, Niacinamide, or Nicotinic Acid, is an essential
nutrient required by all humans for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, fats,
and proteins, as well as for the production of hydrochloric acid for digestion. B3
also supports proper blood circulation, healthy skin, and aids in the functioning
of the central nervous system.
Because of its role in supporting the higher functions of the brain and
cognition, vitamin B3 also plays an important role in the treatment of
schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Lastly, adequate levels of B3 are vital
for the proper synthesis of insulin, and the sex hormones such as estrogen,
testosterone, and progesterone.
Chromium taken with Niacin has been found to be a synergistic combination, that
Increases glucose utilization beyond that when taking Niacin or Chromium alone.
Chromium Polynicotinate
Research in recent years has been published showing that chromium in its non-
toxic, trivalent state bound in an organic complex with nicotinic acid as Glucose
Tolerance Factor (GTF) improves insulin function In vitro and in vivo. Most
chromium used as a GTE supplement comes from Brewer’s yeast. Chromium in
Brewer’s yeast is in the Polynicotinate form. Chromium Polynicotinate is up to 300%
more bio-available than chromium picolinate.
Chromium doesn’t stimulate the increase of insulin, but rather acts in potentiating
the action of the hormone. Human trials have shown that Chromium works in
the following ways: reduces fasting glycaemia, mean blood glucose and glycated
haemoglobin. It lowers cholesterol and triglycerides but less than the other indices.
Newer research points to chromium as being able to sensitise tissues to Insulin.
This action would be beneficial in insulin resistance and Syndrome X problems.
Chromium not only acts in glucose related problems, but is also involved in body
composition and fat distribution. In double blind studies, just the addition of
chromium supplementation with no other dietary changes altered the body fat
composition to increase non fat body mass.
page 156
One factor affecting chromium stores is the body is the amount of sugar that an
individual consumes. Once chromium has acted as a cofactor in insulin response
it is excreted in the urine. With the high sugar diet of today, the turnover rate of
chromium is quite high. In patients with the highest risk for developing frank
diabetes, they need chromium the most. The highest tissue stores of chromium
occur in newborns. As the result of diet and sugar stress, chromium is depleted
from the body as we age. Studies have shown that diabetics have lower plasma
chromium levels than non-diabetics.
Niacin-bound chromium is more bio-available than chromium picolinate. A recent
animal study at the University of California found that Chromium Polynicotinate
was absorbed and retained up to 311% better than chromium picolinate and 672%
better than chromium chloride

Protease Enzymes PROTEASE is responsible for digesting proteins in your food, which is probably
one of the most difficult substances to metabolize. Because of this, protease is
For example considered to be one of the most important enzymes that we have. If the digestive
process is incomplete, undigested protein can wind up in your circulatory system,
Enzyme Therapy as well as in other parts of your body.
Protease When you take protease in higher quantities, it can help to clean up your body
by removing the unwanted protein from your circulatory system. This will help to
clean up your blood stream, and restore your energy and balance.
One of the tricks of an invading organism is to wrap itself in a large protein shell
that the body would view as being ‘normal’. Large amounts of protease can help
to remove this protein shell, and allow the body’s defence mechanisms to go into
action. With the protective barrier down, your immune system can step in and
destroy the invading organism.
Additional amounts of protease are also helpful in fighting such things as colds,
flu, and cancerous tumor growths. Protease helps in the healing and recovery
from cancer by dissolving the fibrin coating on cancer cells, and thereby giving
your immune system a chance to do its job. It can effectively shrink these tumors
by helping to remove the dead and abnormal tissues, and by stimulating healthy
tissue growth.
Proteolytic enzymes are very important in digestion as they breakdown the protein
foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body. Additionally, proteolytic
enzymes have been used for a long time in various forms of therapy. Their use
in medicine is gaining more and more attention as several clinical studies are
indicating their benefits in oncology, inflammatory conditions, blood rheology
control, and immune regulation.

Protease should be taken on an empty stomach to maximize its ability to
breakdown protein-based invaders in the bloodstream. If Protease is taken with
food in the stomach, it will begin to work on digesting that food instead of going
directly into the bloodstream.
However, if meat is a part of your meal, Protease maybe taken with Digestive for
that meal to help breakdown the protein in the stomach.
Protease maybe taken by children, simply open the capsules and mix the powder
with liquid. Parasites, fungal forms and bacteria are protein-based organisms that
are dissolved by protease. Viruses have a protein-based film covering the nucleic
acids inside. Protease helps to clear the blood of cellular debris, undigested protein
and toxins.
Protease taken between meals may be beneficial in cases of infection, fever,
inflammation, lowered immune response, hypoglycemia, PMS, osteoporosis,
candida, acne, cold, flu and acute traumatic injuries.

required with other forms of CoQ10
Quad strength Coenzyme Q10
• Quad strength has undergone clinical scrutiny in humans in several trials.
• Quad strength is the preferred dosage form recommended by leading
physicians and cardiologists.
• Quad strength is recommended by Jean Carper on page 40 in her runaway
New York Times Bestseller, Miracle Cures.
• Quad strength provides up to 400% CoQ10 serum levels than conventional
dosage forms and achieves therapeutic levels of CoQ10 in three weeks or less.
• R. B. Singh, M.D., FACN, President, International College of Nutrition said: “ Quad
strength Coenzyme Q10 softgels provide an immediate boost in blood CoQ10
levels and therapeutic levels exceeding 2.5 mcg/ml within weeks as revealed
by research data.”
• Quad strength absorption is not dependent on the food you eat or proximity
to meals and provides effective serum levels at lower dosages.
• Quad strength is the only Coenzyme Q10 supplement formulated via the
patented Bio Solv® technology.
Clinical studies confirm Quad strength CoQ10’s absolute superiority over all dosage
forms tested.
Here Are the Latest Reports on CoQ10
1. Published studies have previously shown that CoQ10 protects heart muscle cells
against adriamycin induced cardiomyopathy. Adriamycin is a popular cytotoxic
drug used in cancer chemotherapy. These studies showed that a double
dose of adriamycin could be administered in the presence of CoQ10 without
encountering cardiac toxicity. What the study did not reveal was that only 10%
page 159
of the cancer patients receiving CoQ10 and adriamycin were dead after three
years, while 90% of the patients given adriamycin without CoQ10 were dead
within 1.5 years! European oncologists are now using high doses of CoQ10
to put cancer patients into long-term remissions. In studies in breast cancer
patients, the results have been so astonishing that, after gathering more
data, scientists expect to announce the cancer treatment breakthrough of
the 20th century!
2. A minimum dose of 240mg a day of CoQ10 is recommended for patients
with heart disease and cancer and there is no maximum (1000mg+ is
not excessive). Doctors are now using 600 mg a day of CoQ10, without
encountering toxicity. Cancer patients should consider taking this higher dose
of CoQ10.
3. Scientists have not yet determined the exact mechanism by which CoQ10
benefits cancer patients. Preliminary evidence indicates that CoQ10 may
suppress the proliferation of cancer cells and boost immune factors that kill
cancer cells.
4. CoQ10 is effective in treating heart disease and chronic fatigue syndrome in
those deficient in CoQ10.
5. Those with heart disease, who benefit from CoQ10, must continue taking
it for the rest of their lives (just like other heart medications). When a study
showed significant relapses in heart disease patients after CoQ10 was
discontinued, the FDA tried to use this study to ban CoQ10 for not ‘curing’
heart disease. Since no other cardiac medications ‘cure’ heart disease,
this is an example of the FDA’s prejudice against natural therapies. Unlike
cardiac drugs that work almost immediately, CoQ10 being a nutrient, can
take 60-to-90 days to produce a therapeutic effect. It also takes 60-to-90
days for the effects of CoQ10 to wear off. Some heart disease patients
discontinue taking CoQ10 after they experience a dramatic improvement
in their condition because they think they’ve been ‘cured’. In reality,
however, they are increasingly at risk of dying as their cellular levels of
CoQ10 decline.
6. CoQ10 combined with Vitamin E protects LDL cholesterol against oxidation,
which causes much of the arterial damage of atherosclerosis. CoQ10
dramatically extends vitamin E’s ability to prevent the oxidation of LDL
cholesterol. In patients with coronary artery atherosclerosis who take high
doses of CoQ10 for 2-to-3 years, regressions of coronary artery blockage has
been observed.
7. CoQ10 may by the most potent antioxidant found in mitochondria. CoQ10 is
responsible for 95% of energy expenditure in some areas of our cells.
8. Psoriasis is a serious medical condition that does not always respond to
conventional corticosteroid therapy. High dose coenzyme Q10 appears to be an
effective therapy against psoriasis. It works by improving the immune profile of
the skin.
9. CoQ10 is being looked at as a therapeutic for prostate cancer.
10. More scientific conferences are being planned to disseminate information
about the role CoQ10 may play in the treatment of cancer.
11. For optimal health maintenance, healthy people over the age 40 should take at
least 100 mg a day of absorbable CoQ10.
page 160
12. HydroQSorb CoQ10 delivers four times more effectively into the bloodstream
compared with ordinary CoQ10. i.e. 1 = 50mg HydroQSorb = 200mg Ordinary CoQ10.
Each capsule contains 50mg and deliver 4 times more to the blood stream than
ordinary co-enzyme Q10. i.e. you would need to take 200mg of ordinary co-enzyme
Q10 to get the equivalent amount delivered from HydroQSorb.

Glucosamine hydrochloride is a naturally - occurring, essential component of
glycosaminoglycans, the sponge-like compounds which absorb and bind water
within cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride is, therefore, crucial for maintaining
joint cushioning, flexibility, function, and integrity. Glucosamine hydrochloride is
also important in the formation and structure of bones, tendons, ligaments, and
other connective tissue, stimulating cartilage production, natural joint repair, and
reduction of joint inflammation.
As age increases, glucosamine levels decline. Cartilage is a living tissue with the
ability to regenerate itself, given the right nourishment. Studies confirm that
supplementary glucosamine is readily absorbed and incorporated into cartilage
and other connective tissue.
Glucosamine Sulphate is a supplemental form of glucosamine - an amino sugar
made by the body and involved in forming nails, tendons, ligaments, heart valves,
and other tissues.
Glucosamine is one of the building blocks of glycosaminoglycans, a major component
of cartilage that helps stimulate cartilage growth and maintain joint health.
Chondroitin Sulphate works cooperatively in the support and stabilising of
collagen, the chief fibrous protein component of connective tissue. It attracts water
into the glycosaminoglycans, increasing tissue elasticity and joint cushioning,
and it protects cartilage by inhibiting the action of destructive enzymes. Like
glucosamine, chondroitin stimulates production of glycosaminoglycans.
Glucosamine Sulphate hydrochloride and chondroitin Sulphate have been studied
extensively in combination, with excellent results. The blend is effective in reducing
page 161
inflammation and pain, as well as providing support for maintenance of healthy
connective tissue.
MSM (methylsulfonymethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound and a
derivative of DSMO, composed of 34% bio-available sulfur. It supports the integrity
of healthy mucous membranes, and is necessary for the production of collagen
and keratin, the primary proteins in hair, skin, and nails. MSM also plays an essential
role in the formation of bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
MSM is primarily used for its natural and remarkable anti-inflammatory properties,
which are especially useful in alleviating pain, joint inflammation, muscle spasms,
allergies, and gastrointestinal inflammation. Its maintenance of healthy cell
membranes helps prevent allergies and support normal lung function.
Although it is prevalent in fruits and vegetables, MSM is destroyed by heat and
processing, and the amount of MSM found in cells throughout the body decreases
significantly as we age.
OptiMSM®, is the original, patented MSM, and is safe, effective, and 99.9% pure
methylsulfonymethane. It is American-produced in an NNDA-GMP-certified MSM
facility, and is certified Kosher - an additional assurance of quality and purity.
OptiMSM® is non-toxic and non-allergenic. No significant allergic reaction has
ever been reported. However, we recommend that MSM not be used by pregnant
or nursing women, by children under the age of two, or by patients using
Heparin or Coumadin.
Collagen is the major structural component of articular cartilage in joints. Type
II collagen from chicken sternal cartilage contains the highest amount of anti-
inflammatory and joint-related proteoglycans, including glucosamine sulphate,
chondroitin sulphate, and cartilage matrix glycoprotein. It is also much more
absorbable than other forms of collagen, with an absorption rate of 70 to 90
percent. It supports production of synovial fluid, decreases levels inflammatory
cytokines and increases T-suppressor cells.
Enzymes are included in the product to enhance absorption of the glucosamine
and chondroitin molecules.
If patients experience any mild gastrointestinal side effects, administer the capsules
with meals.
Suggested use: Take 2 capsules once daily, or as directed by a health care
professional.

Probiotic Friendly Flora plays a critical role in digesting undigested protein and
other foods.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract and the
most numerous of the lactobacilli. It is considered to be the most beneficial
lactobacillus in the intestine. Some of the beneficial effects attributed to
Lactobacillus acidophilus are: cholesterol reduction, inhibition of undesirable
bacteria, improved lactose intolerance, reduced carcinogen production, and
improved immune response. This bacterium is also the predominant bacteria in the
normal flora of the vagina where it has a role in inhibiting infections.
Bifidobacterium bifidum is the natural component in the small intestine and is
the predominant bacteria in the intestine of breast-fed infants. It is also part of the
intestinal bacteria in adults. It produces acetic and lactic acid and may keep the pH
low in the small intestine, which inhibits E.Coli. Often added as a Probiotic to milk
or yogurt.
Bifidobacterium infantis is similar to Bifidobacterium bifidum, flourishes in breast-
fed infants and is not usually found in adults. It manufactures B-vitamins, and may
detoxify the intestines. Useful for children with food allergies.
Bifidobacterium longum stimulates the immune system by enhancing the
activity of natural killer cells in the spleen. The mechanisms of immune support by
Bifidobacterium longum have been studied in animals.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a high producer of Lactase that digests sugars in
dairy products. Destroys pathogens in large intestine when introduced. May help
alleviate painful arthritis.
Lactobacillus plantarum aids in the balance of beneficial bacteria in the large
intestine and produces lactic acid that is vital to balancing the pH in the colon. It
inhibits the translocation of bacteria from the gut to other organs such as lymph
nodes and liver. Intestinal toxicity leads to a low immune system. Accumulation
of toxins in the colon diverticula causes Diverticulitis and other problems. L.
page 164
Plantarum can be utilised throughout the whole gastro-intestinal track eliminating
toxins and balancing the environment. The colonies continue to grow and produce
a natural antibiotic effect, aiding the immune system in its fight against harmful
agents in the body.
Streptococcus thermophilus is a good source of lactase to aid digestion of milk sugar.
Lactobacillus casei is an inhabitant of the intestinal tract and has been
demonstrated to have an immunostimulatory effect by the intestinal secretion
of IgA and thus promoting the gut immune barrier. May reduce the severity of
diarrhoea in children.
Lactobacillus salivarius has been proven to be capable of producing a high amount
of lactic acid and could inhibit and reduce the inflammatory response of H.pylori.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) is an effective nutrient for intestinal Probiotic
bacteria. The Probiotics have to have some good flora to enable them to work.
Normal human enzymes cannot digest FOS, which allows it to enter the colon
intact and become a nutrient for the good bacteria.
Herbal Cleanse Before I list the various herbal cleanser and liver supports, I must stress that
drinking more water is even more essential when taking herbs. The herbs’
Whole Body and detoxification action must be helped by drinking extra water to flush the body
of the toxins that are released when the cleansing takes place. Your liver, kidneys,
Colon Cleanse intestines, skin, bladder and lymphatic system will all be working overtime and
Program™ need as much fluid as possible to dilute the toxins.
A powerful Herbal Cleanse may come in two parts. The example shown below is
one called ‘Essential Cleanse’.
‘Essential Cleanse’
Part 1.
Colon Cleanser that includes herbs that rid the small intestine and colon of all the
putrid matter and mucous that will have built up over the years. The herbs are listed
here and you should do your best to obtain one with as many of these herbs as you
can find.
• Cascara Sagrada Bark • Rhubarb Root
• Buckthorn Bark • Psyllium Husk
• Liquorice Root • Ginger Root
• Fennel Seed • Golden Seal Root
Part 2.
Body Cleanser that includes herbs to cleanse the whole body including Liver,
Kidneys and Lungs.
• Oregon Grape Root • Mullein Burberry Root • Buckthorn Bark
• Black Cohosh Root • Dandelion Root • Fenugreek Seed
• Prickly Ash Bark • Peppermint Leaf • Ginger Root
• Irish Moss • Goldenseal Root • Liquorice Root
• Cascara Sagrada Bark • Burdock Root • Sarsaparilla Herb
• Gentian Root • Yellow Dock Root • Echinacea Root
• Safflower Herb • Peach Leaves • Slippery Elm Bark
• Chickweed Herb • Yarrow Flower • Capsicum Fruit
The test of a good herbal program is how long you are recommended to cleanse.
If it is recommended on the packaging that you need to cleanse for between 1-3
months then you know you are getting good information and it should indicate
page 165
the quality of the products. Even if it includes Milk Thistle in the formulation, you
are still recommended to continue with Milk Thistle support for a month or so after
you have finished the cleanse.
The last stage is to support the liver. The most famous herb for this is Milk Thistle.
Doctors and natural health practitioners have used this successfully to help
regenerate the liver when it has been abused and over-worked (especially from fats
and alcohol).
As ever, the price will reflect the quality of the product and you are advised not to
buy the cheaper options. Ask for the best.
Astaxanthin Possibly the most potent Natural Antioxidant that has been discovered.
Astaxanthin (asta-zan-thin) has tremendous promise for health and well-being.
Research suggests that it is 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 10 times
more powerful than beta carotene.
Clinical trials have shown that Astaxanthin:
• Helps protect Eye Health
• Helps prevent Neurodegenerative diseases
• Helps Cardiovascular Diseases
• Helps Animal Health
• Helps to limit or prevent sun burn
• Helps gain a quicker and deeper tan
• Alleviates the effects of carpal tunnel syndrome
• Protects the joints from inflammation after exercise
• And many more
What is it?
Astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment, is a powerful biological
antioxidant. Astaxanthin exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity and
protects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol,
cell membranes, cells, and tissues. Astaxanthin has been the focus of a large and
growing number of peer-reviewed scientific publications.

Food Studies Bread and cereals may pose as much of a threat to children’s eyesight as reading
books or staring at computer screens for too long, research suggests.
(just a few of
Scientists suspect the problem lies with the fact that diets high in refined starches
the many) increase insulin levels. This affects the development of the eyeball, making it
abnormally long and causing short-sightedness, they suggest.
Dr Loren Cordain, from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, the US, and
Professor Jennie Brand Miller, from the University of Sydney, Australia.
Bread Linked to Acne.
Processed breads and cereals could be a significant factor behind teenage acne,
according to US scientists.
A team of researchers, led by Professor Loren Cordain from Colorado State
University in Fort Collins, believe that because highly refined breads and cereals are
easily digested, the resulting sugar rush created in the body results in high levels of
insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1).
High fat, no-starch diet doesn’t raise cholesterol.
Patients with atherosclerosis lose weight on a high fat, no-starch diet followed for 6
weeks, without increasing their blood fat (lipid) levels.
Those results come from a study involving 23 obese patients with documented
atherosclerotic heart disease. All of the patients were being treated with
cholesterol-lowering ‘statin’ drugs, but no changes were made to their drugs or the
dosing during the study.
The participants were instructed to consume half of their calories as saturated fat
for 6 weeks. Other food sources were permitted with the exception of starches,
according to a report in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings medical journal.
The people on the test diet dropped a significant 5.2 percent of their total body
weight and reduced their body fat percentage by a similar amount, note Dr. James
H. Hays and colleagues, from Christiana Care Health Services in Newark, Delaware.
Study links starchy foods to birth defect risk.
Women who eat lots of foods that tend to make blood sugar soar may be more
likely to have a baby with birth defects of the brain or spine, a new study suggests.
These foods, known as high glycemic index foods, include white bread and other
high starchy grains, potatoes and soft drinks. Researchers say the finding, seen
page 169
predominantly among obese women in the study, adds to evidence that a problem
in blood-sugar control might be involved in neural tube defects.
But they also caution that the research is only one step in understanding how the
birth defects arise, and it’s unclear whether the foods, per se, are the culprit. “These
are new results that need to be repeated and pushed further,” study leader Dr. Gary
M. Shaw, of the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program in Berkeley.
Oils Offer Hope for Troubled Children.
Dr Alexandra Richardson, a senior research fellow in neurosciences at Imperial
College School of Medicine, London, has spent the last 15 years researching
common developmental conditions such as dyslexia and ADHD.
Dr Richardson says, “The first trial involving dyslexic children showed that
supplementation with fish oil and evening primrose oil can reduce behavioural and
learning problems in those with ADHD tendencies.
“Particular improvements were found in attention, concentration and working
memory, but disruptive behaviour and hyperactivity in these children also
responded to EFA (essential fatty acids) treatment and marked reductions were
seen in anxiety and withdrawal.”
Fibre Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk.
MILAN, Italy - New research published in the March 20 edition of the International
Journal of Cancer (109, 2:278-280, 2004) shows vegetable fibre may lower the
incidence of prostate cancer. Researchers noted this is the first study to look into
fibre’s role in prostate cancer.
In an 11-year multi-center case-control study, researchers investigated 1,294
men with incident, histologically confirmed prostate cancer and 1,451 controls
with acute non-malignant conditions. They found the risk for prostate cancer was
inversely related with soluble fibre, cellulose and vegetable fibre, with vegetable
fibre seen as the most protective. Men who consumed the highest amount of
vegetables were 18-percent less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who
ate the least amount of vegetables. These relationships were consistent across all
ages, family histories of prostate cancer, body mass indexes and education.
Researchers reported that because vegetables were seen to provide the most
benefits of all the fibres investigated, it may be possible that some of their other
nutrients could be the reason behind their prostate benefits.
Study Links High Carbohydrate Intake with Breast Cancer.
CUERNAVACA, Mexico - High carbohydrate diets were positively linked to increased
incidence of breast cancer. The study conducted by the Instito Nacional de Salud
Publica was a population-based case-controlled study involving 475 women aged
20 to 75 years with breast cancer (identified through six Mexico City hospitals) and
a comparison group of 1,391 healthy women from the Mexico City population.
Study published in the August issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention
(13, 8:1283-89, 2004) (www.cebp.aacrjournals.org).
Greek Diet Eases Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The so-called ‘Mediterranean diet,’ already believed to help prevent heart disease
and some forms of cancer, may also reduce the pain and swelling of joints stricken
with rheumatoid arthritis - although relief may not begin for at least six weeks,
suggests a new study. Still, significant improvement was reported by most of
the 26 arthritic patients who followed the well-studied dietary regimen for three
months. The Mediterranean diet includes olive and canola oils as the primary
dietary sources of fat - along with plenty of fish, poultry, produce, and legumes, say
page 170
Swedish researchers. By comparison, no relief was reported by another group of 25
patients who followed a typical Western diet.
