The word “systemic”
means body wide. Systemic enzymes are those that operate not just for
digestion but throughout your body in every system and organ. But let’s
take first things first, what is an enzyme?
An enzyme is a
biocatalyst - something that makes something else work or work faster.
Chemical reactions are generally slow things, enzymes speed them up.
Without enzymes the chemical reactions that make up our life would be
too slow for life as we know it. (As slow as sap running down a tree in
winter). For life to manifest as we know it, enzymes are essential to
speed up the reactions. We have roughly some 3000 enzymes in our bodies
and that results in over 7000 enzymic reactions. Most of these enzymes
are derived or created from what we think of as the protein digesting
enzymes. But while digestion is an important part of what enzymes do,
it's almost the absolute last function.
Blood Cleansing
The blood is not only
the river of life, it is also the river through which the cells and
organs dispose of their garbage and dead material. Enzymes improve
circulation by eating the excess fibrin that causes blood to sometimes
get as thick as catsup or yogurt, creating the perfect environment for
the formation of clots. All of this material is supposed to be cleared
by the liver on its "first pass", or the first time it goes through but
given the sluggish and near toxic or toxic states of everyone's liver
these days that seldom happens. So the sludge remains in the blood
waiting for the liver to have enough free working space and enough
enzymes to clean the trash out of the blood. This can take days, and in
some cases, weeks!
When systemic enzymes are taken, they stand ready in the blood and take the strain off of the liver by:
- Cleaning excess fibrin from the blood and reducing the stickiness of blood cells. These two actions minimize the leading causes of stroke and heart attack causing blood clots.
- Breaking dead material down small enough that it can immediately pass into the bowel.
- Cleanse the FC receptors on the white blood cells improving their function and availability to fight off infection.
Facts:
Enzymes are proteins
All reactions are accelerated by enzymes
Enzymes also aid with inflammation
Enzymes aid in wound healing
Enzymes also contribute to tissue repair
Enzymes produce immune support and have immunosuppressive effect.
Suppression of the body's immune system and its ability to fight infections and other diseases. Immunosuppression may be deliberately induced with drugs, as in preparation for bone marrow or other organ transplantation, to prevent rejection of the donor tissue.
