FOOD ENZYMES

This is not a therapy for Prostate cancer specifically but helpful for people that may have:

acid indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, calcium deficiency, cystic fibrosis, fatigue, hypoglycemia, gas, bad breath, colitis, poor digestion and other digestion system weakness. If this is a silly and not useful post, I apologize. I just was wondering if others, like me, have some of these issues............ I would as always, ask your health care practitioner. 💜

A very important subject that warrants more research. Generally healthy unprocessed uncooked foods should have the enzymes needed to digest that food.

I advised my friend who had his gallbladder removed and his wife turned me own to a new use for dutch oven lol. It had been going on for years so I told them about pancreatic enzymes and no more dutch oven and he could eat fatty food again with no issues.

I take beno when i eat beans and it makes a huge difference.

If you eat food that drags you down after eating it you’re body is steeling the needed enzymes from another important process.

such a great reply and thank you. For us, we see a difference when we don’t eat quality foods that contain enzymes. I’m going to try the beano since I eat beans often. 🌸 easy

I adjunct digestive enzymes when I eat have several different choices more comprehensive better as well as proteolytic enzymes away from food to help my body combat inflammation. Works for me.......

Thank you. My digestion has always been good except when I went on heavy antibiotics for lymes

I understand, be patient, takes 90+ days to rebalance your system. A good gentle bowel cleanz as well as Spore probiotics can be of help

From the antibiotics and nueroborreliosis (lymes attacking the CNS) i ended up with super headaches probably originally from the endotoxiins from the dead spirichetes, but ended up an allergy to dairy. Every day I suffered from bad migraines and i to stay inside in a dark room or where sunglasses and if i had to go out i had to wear welding googles over sunglasses and a jacket over my head. The doctors were convinced my lymes was gone so after a year I figured the doxycycline caused gut dispiosis and every time i had cream in my coffee and any dairy my immune system would associate cassein protein for lymes and attack my optic nerves. Im all healed from that thank goodness.

you got i all going on. I have been balancing symptoms and problems through various Integrated adjunctive device's and treatments. The best one I have found for the myriad of problems and symptoms you report is infopathy.com/?invite=57015747 I am listed as a provider here. Appears overwhelming initially however there are many sources of help. Well worth a minimal investment.

thanks for sharing . You probably have taken them the way they are recommended. I also try to take them between food but in my opinion, taking them when I can is probably better than not taking them at all lol🌸

glad you know about the foods that have great natural enzymes. 😊Along with papaya mango bananas avacado I understand kefir does also. I haven’t tried kefir but was just wondering if you have? And if so, what are your thoughts about it?

No I don’t use it as a rule because dairy is something I really watch. I have acid reflux so on an anti inflammatory diet . My husband watches what he eats but doesn’t have as a restrictive diet as I do. I am minimally processed, right ph, no additives or preservatives… but that’s not what this group is about so will let it finish here. I believe diet is individual choice and doesn’t cure anything, it’s just overall good for the body systemically. I also believe those with prostate cancer should eat what they deem is best for them.

You speak the truth to me. This is a stage 4 forum. Between ravaging cancer, treatment side effects some here myself included experience finicky eating, no appetite, weight loss, wasting away and in general a desire to experience a palliative, pleasure where we can find it spot in the last few years of life should relax and do as our Medical teams tell us eat what we can and desire to eat. And of course some common sense.

Diet seems to be a heated discussion here. I think it’s a personal choice. I am here for the more directly related to and clinically proven research for prostate cancer. I’m more interested in the treatments, new ones on the horizon, etc.. rather than supplements

I agree

I agree with you all. I am trying to figure out how to replace my COMT enzyme so i can balance my good:bad estrogen ratios. Just before i got diagnosed in 2013 i did the Genova diagnostics “detox Genomics” and a “complete male hormone “ tests. It showed and stated with references that i have way to much bad estrogen and not enough good estrogen. The backup was COMT (catecholenemethyltramsferase) mutation that was metabolizing the estrogens. A backup to this is Glutathione s-tranferase and i have that homozygous mutation also. Double whamy. So even though my cutting my T to nill i wonder if i even have to worry about taking COMT enzymes.

My best plan is to have those tests done again now that i am really screwing up my hormone pathways.
