The Role of Enzyme-Rich Living Food

Enzymes cannot be duplicated by synthetic scientific means because they are life itself. Without enzymes which are responsible for nearly every facet of life and health, the other nutrients in our food chain, or those taken as supplements, have little chance of performing their expected benefits.

Enzymes are a necessary element for the digestion of food. The body uses its valuable store of body enzymes to help control all mental and physical functions. If your body uses its own enzymes for the digestion of depleted "dead" food that is lacking in enzymes, then it has to rob those enzymes from the other organs, which in turn weakens those organs and makes them more susceptible to degenerative diseases. The body is then prone to allergic reactions due to a deficiency in enzymes. Cancer research has discovered that certain enzymes are completely lacking in the blood and urine of cancer victims.

The biggest problem exists in these allergy prone folks, which includes the victims of AIDS, is their continual lack of enzymes. The Living Food s-Lifestyle™ puts forward every effort to supply these enzymes, creating Easy-to-Digest nourishment.

The key to Ann Wigmore's training is teaching the value of enzymes. Enzymes are the bridge between the physical and the spiritual worlds, as Rudolf Steiner taught before her time. Raw food may be rich in hundreds of enzymes. Viruses may have no enzymes at all, or one, or at best a few. It appears that it takes the surplus of enzymes that occur in raw food to overcome the deficiency of enzymes in the viruses.

" Food for Living is Living Food "

Even as I believe enzymes to be entities which live between the physical and spiritual worlds, so viruses also live between these worlds. This makes them extremely difficult to work with from a scientific standpoint. Science is not yet fully geared to accept spiritual realities, although considerable progress inevitably is being made in this direction. It is only as we realize that spiritual realities of enzymes and viruses that we will be able to work with them on a realistic basis.

How Enzymes Work in Our Body

Why Living Food

Healthy Meals need to contain, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other elements which nature provides in living food to be used as nourishment. We have learned much about these minerals, vitamins, protein etc., but most of us neglect to learn about life force -- the energy which activates our cells (the Kirlian pictures at this site say it all -- worth the wait to down load.)... and makes our life on the material planet possible. Enzymes literally transform the tissues in the body from old to new; they perform the marriage between the nutrients in the body. They are the catalysts, joining together various elements in the food we use as nourishment.

The cells are the workers; they cleanse, build, and regulate the body's machinery. The cells are what keep the body healthy and young. The right combination of elements such as Vitamin(s) C, D, E, etc., minerals, protein, and enzymes are necessary in order to feed these cells. Everything in the body and all things in life depend on each other.

Enzyme Force

Enzymes in the pancreas convert the protein into various body building blocks, known as amino acids. Enzymes work as a team with vitamins and minerals. The enzymes in our saliva start the digestive process, especially breaking down starch. Enzymes supply the body with electrical energy. See site, Kirlian Photo's above.) they are this energy or the life force. Energy is in all living food; enzymes are the converters and take care of the body's needs. People who eat living food have high vibrations or higher conciousness which means that the body's positive and negative poles are in balance. Enzymes make the balance possible. When the body becomes imbalanced, sickness, and old age are present. At the present time it is evident that the lack of enzymes are creating our serious health problems such as AIDS, and drug and alchohol abuse.

Discovery of Enzymes

Dr. Buckner did much research on enzymes over 100 years ago. He learned how enzymes worked and how their activity was stopped when heat, acid, or cold evironment was present. Dr. Buckner also discovered the powerful contribution they made in the body when they were active. He learned that the body did not manufacture metabolic enzymes if the body was unbalanced. Every individual realizes that energy is essential if there is a desire to be active; activity is an expression of life. Many factors are contributing to this. This is the reason why so many people are using different stimulants - coffee, drugs, candy, stimulating herbs, excessive stimulating spices and even stronger stimulants to force the energy. These unnatural methods that are bringing energy to the body (actually - drawing down on stored energy at an accelerated rate, without adequate replacement); - are harmful to the physical body and causes disturbances of the mind. It alters the brain and causes it to act abnormally and distructively. (Just look around you.) Lasting energy comes from living food that nourishes the cells. Food must be easy to digest if we wish to experience an abundance of energy which will be naturally lasting. Let us recieve energy through uncooked living food. Every person that desires to survive must adjust to a lifestyle using this living energy food. This will make us all channels for the betterment of the planet. By providing the bodies brain cells with the balance it needs, the normal functions manifest in our natural thinking, feeling and actions.

Process of Digestion

This is essential knowledge. Enzymes assist in breaking down the food so that it can dissolve and pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, thus feeding the cells. Enzymes act as an agent to breakdown particles of food into energy giving sugar. Enzymes are co-workers with cells and actually construct food substances into building materials. They might be thought of as the worker bee of the body. They never rest and are very versatile. They break up food for nourishment so that nutrients can be absorbed into the blood. They also help prepare the waste so it can be carried to the kidneys and thrown out of the body. Enzymes act as means to take care of the fat which comes into the body as living food. In pure types of protein such as meat, there is a lack of enzymes which makes it (nearly) impossible to digest or assimilate. Enzymes are the key to well-being. Radiation treatments (on Food) destroy enzymes and vitamins, thus making the body unbalanced. Many prescription drugs do this also.

Stomach

This organ is more of a storage place for food than an organ of digestion. Living Food generally remains in the stomach anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours, depending on the amount a person has eaten. At the end of the stomach is a muscle where vigorous movement and contraction takes place. The muscular end churns food and mixes it with digestive juices and enzymes. In the walls of the stomach there are glands which produce gastric juices which are alkaline. This helps to digest starches. The gastric juices are the producers of smell, taste, color, hunger, etc. The stomach is like a rubber ball. It expands and contracts depending on the amount put in it. When the stomach is empty, a person may experience hunger pangs, usually for certain cravings such as sweets. This is especially true when there is a lack of adequate nourishment.

Gallbladder

Problems in this organ are generally a cause of indigestion. If the food does not contain vitamins and enzymes, the gallbladder fails to produce bile which is needed to digest fats, etc. Understanding and care must be taken for assurance of good digestion. Constipation can manifest itself if there is a digestion problem. If this health problem is present, one can experience fullness, nausea, edema of the ankles, halitosis, etc. Moreover, any treatment for these problems cannot solve the condition unless a careful plan is made to enhance the diet with uncooked food loaded with enzymes. Enzymes and balanced trace minerals, will correct the situation. Enzymes and proteins are the building blocks for mental and physical well-being.

What Living Food Contains Enzymes?

The best enzyme living food s are fermented seeds, grain or vegetables. Greens, vegetables, sprouts, weeds and wheatgrass have a different kind of enzyme. The fermented living food s contain enzymes which are predigested and contain complete amino acids which are needed for healthy meals. Juices from sprouts, greens, and vegetables are also easy to digest and are a healthy food. These foods along with the rules below can eliminate digestive problems and help the body to heal itself.

1. Chew food very well - until it is completely liquid. The blended living food s (those that have become nearly liquid in a blender) are very helpful for our present time when lack of enzymes are experienced in 80% of our society.
2. Eat only when hungry and never overeat - Learn to trust your body. Sometimes several small meals eaten frequently are better than eating three large ones. (But do observe transit times and an empty stomach between meals.)
3. Do NOT drink with meals - this washes the food down before the enzymes can go into action.
4. Avoid constipation - This health problem can be a major cause of cancer, IB, colitis etc. The person with digestion problems must keep away from such foods as , meat, milk, cheese, bread, chocolate, candy, and even citrus fruit. (Citrus fruit is picked too green.)

These simple ideas can help one to eliminate digestion and health problems. Over 90% of Americans are suffering with those conditions. For this reason, we blend many of our living food s and ferment many others to give added enzymes.
