******************DETAILS ON ENZYMES*****************
Enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids. They are catalysts to create biological reactions, they are not used up in the process. Some of the required reactions[biological function] would happen very slowly or not a all without the enzymes. The amino acids in enzymes connect to make protein chains. These chains often bond together, creating patterns that seem to fold or twist into certain shapes, this gives each its distinct characteistics and function. If the specific pattern is disrupted the enzyme could be rendered inactive or be destroyed.
Enzyme each have a specific function and are essential to every spect of life, and they perform all the functions necessary for life. Without these basic biochemical purposes occuring; building compounds to break down substances [digestion, for instance], elimination of unwanted chemicals, life becomes encreasingly more precarious.
Food we eat is essentially just a mix of chemicals broken down by enzymes. Nutrients released by the foods we eat are the raw materials for our ability to maintain health. Vitamins and other nurtrients cannot be used in the body by themselves but are assisted by the action of the various enzymes. Enzymes are the key that unlocks all the goodness [vitamins, minerals, proteins and each amino acid-hormones that produce the health from various organs doing their jobs properly] in each tasty morsel we eat. Enzymes, while not alive themselves are the workers that assist many biological, chemical, and metabolic reactions.
Often enzymes need certain vitamins and minerals like Magnesium [which participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions] to be utilized properly, these are called co-enzymes. All enzymes are necessary and if a co-enzyme is not available, the enzyme in question will not perform its duties. This is why we need whole fresh foods, complete balance of diet and foods that are raw and grown with good healthy soils that have all the raw ingredients to make for healthy plants to help us stay healthy, see how all of this is important, how everything on the planet contributes to the health of the rest?
Enzymes run the body, every single operation in the whole organism must be facilitated by enzymes, Without the role the enzymes play illness begins to befall the body. All the additional supplements you can take will not be efficasious if the proper enzymes are not in evidence to break them down and allow them to be absorbed by the body. Cooked enzymes are dead enzymes, they do not help the body to maintain health.
Lack of digestive enzymes can cause any of the following and probably a lot more: Diabetes, Allergies, Skin afflictions, Arthrtis, Fibrocystic or cystic breast disease, Lysosomal Storage Diseases-Fabry, Gaucher, Hurler, Niemann-Pick, Pompe, Tay-Sachs diseases, Sleep disorders, RA, osteoarthritis and fibrositis, chronic fatigue, depression, weight loss, and cancers. In fact a 100% whole raw, fresh foods diet is often used to clean a body of a cancer that has set up shop, by those cancer clinics you hear about with the awesome rate of cures.
We NEED ENZYMES TO DIGEST OUR FOODS!! We don't get them from cooked foods. No proper digestion- no health, we just can't assimilate our foods without digestive enzymes, but never fear, my dear, you can still get some of these lovely digestive enzymes from your pancreas, you know that nice little organ nestled by the liver that gives us insulin to keep us from being Diabetics? One small problem however, our poor over-worked pancreas only has a finite amount of digestive enzymes to give us when we eat too much cooked foods, then it's curtains, Bub, you just get sicker and sicker, then you die. Juicy health
Ok, I'm not a Scientist, I'm merely paraphrasing what science has come up with to make easy reading for an extremely complicated subject, Please read the sources I've listed for yourself, to learn more.
In order to make sure I get plenty of enzymes I take CellPower™
because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal.Also: SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.

Seventeenth Chapter
A Sunday school teacher was giving her class the assignment for the next week.
"Next Sunday," she said, "we are going to talk about liars, and in preparation for our lesson I want you all to read the Seventeenth Chapter of Mark."
The following week, at the beginning of the class meeting, the teacher said, "Now then, all of you who have prepared for the lesson by reading the Seventeenth Chapter of Mark, please step to the front of the room."
About half the class rose and came forward.
"The rest of you may leave," said the teacher, "these students are the ones I want to talk to. There is no Seventeenth Chapter in the Book of Mark."

Calf Value
A motorist driving by a Texas ranch hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road.
The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then asked what the animal was worth.
"Oh, about $200 today," said the rancher.
"But in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I'm out."
The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer.
"Here," he said, "is the check for $900. It is post-dated six years from now."
