Why do squirrels bury their seeds? Why do some people get fat from eating grains?

Enzymes were "discovered" in the 1800s, before the importance of vitamins and minerals in human health were discovered in the early 1900s. Since 1932 more research has been done regarding the enzymes needed for digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Enzymes are proteins that supply the spark of life for "dead nutrients" - our food and supplements. We receive a supply of two groups of enzymes at birth and, if used up, our lifespan is shortened.

Our enzyme potential means we have a certain supply of digestive enzymes (to digest our food into smaller particles) and a supply of metabolic enzymes (for building vitamins, minerals and food into blood, nerves, organs and tissues). If we have problems with digestion more digestive enzymes need to be manufactured, and less of the expert metabolic mechanics are available to keep us healthy.

The problem lies with our mostly cooked diet and eating nuts and seeds, which contain an enzyme inhibitor that blocks our metabolism. Squirrels know they have to bury their seeds for a time so that the moisture in the soil can block the enzyme inhibitor and release enzymes. Resting seeds first need to sprout to release active enzymes.

Eastern people use enzyme rich products such as sake (alcoholic rice beverage), miso, tofu (soya milk cheese), tempeh and other fermented soya products to enhance healing. So many people struggle with weight and health because they eat mostly wheat (unsprouted seeds). Ancient desert people, the Essenes, said two thousand years ago "If you kill your food, your food will kill you". This includes dead (unsprouted) grains.

Eat enzyme rich food (raw food) such as fruit, salad, fresh juice extracts, seed sprouts, live yoghurt cultures and take supplements containing enzymes (ZoëTrim). The proof of this pudding is in the eating - just chew slowly, as enzymes are secreted while chewing. Prolong your "treatment", as this is a life style change, especially for the arthritic people.

Now, according to their diagnostic and statistical manual, children who are merely behaving as kids, are being labeled and categorized as being ADD/ADHD. This behavior has risen from 2 % in the past decade to as high as 25 % in some populations. The well-known scheduled medication for ADHD has soared from 3 000 children in 1990 (in Britain), to 345 000 children in 2003.

Eat right to beat cancer

Published in "The Tygerburger" June 13, 2007.

Certain cancers respond favourably to chemotherapy and radiation. But most cancer drugs have limited usefulness, for the drug can effectively destroy only the part of the cancer cells undergoing division and normal cells are destroyed as well. “Destroying” a tumour, whilst facilitating whole body support (as a first concern) means the natural health practitioner takes into account the overall well-being of the patient. Omega-3 oil fish oils, vitamin C and a lot more nutrients are needed as natural protection against cancer - this includes bitter pip-substances of certain fruit.
