Enzyme Equalizer Cancer Treatment

Traditional cancer treatments involve eliminating cancerous cell formations from the body through methods involving radiation or chemotherapy. Enzyme equalizer treatment is an alternative approach to treating cancer. It's designed to strengthen the body's immune system functions by replacing depleted enzyme materials. As of yet, it's unknown whether enzyme replacement therapy is an effective approach to treating cancer.

Enzymes

• According to the American Cancer Society, the human body produces an estimated 10,000 different enzymes, many of which work within normal metabolism processes. Most of these enzymes are produced by the pancreas. Enzymes are also available in supplement form, which can be taken orally. Supplements forms are derived from animal and plant materials. Enzyme therapy is an alternative cancer treatment that works to equalize the balance of enzymes in the body. This approach is based the way enzymes naturally stimulate biological processes in the body.

Function

• According to ORACLE ThinkQuest, digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down food materials into forms the body can use. Amylase, lipase and protease are the three enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins when food enters the stomach. In nature, foods contain needed enzymes that assist with metabolism processes; however, the cooking and processing of foods often depletes them of their enzyme content. As a result, the body has to compensate for this by using more of its own supplies within the metabolism process. This can create enzyme deficiencies that leave the body susceptible to illness and disease.

Metabolic Enzymes

• Once food passes through the stomach's digestive enzymes, metabolic enzymes process debris materials not removed by the stomach according to ORACLE ThinkQuest. Metabolic enzymes are located in the bloodstream, and also within the cells of the body. Within cells, they assist with cell metabolism processes and play a vital role in cleaning out harmful materials, or pathogens from the bloodstream and the cells. When digestive enzymes are lacking, metabolic enzymes must assist with digestive processes, which prevents them from eliminating harmful materials. As a result, pathogens can accumulate within the cells and tissues of the body. Enzyme equalizer therapy is designed to supplement these metabolic enzyme materials and remove harmful pathogens from the body.

Effects

• With fewer metabolic enzyme materials available, the body's immune system may be unable to handle the effects from accumulated pathogen materials. Pathogens materials can weaken cell functions, and in some cases alter cell DNA functions as well. When this happens, abnormal cell growths associated with cancer-tumor formations can develop. Enzymes used in treatment act as anti-oxidant agents in cleaning out pathogen materials from cells and tissues and restoring healthy cell function, according to ORACLE ThinkQuest. Glutathione peroxidase, coenzyme 10, and superoxide dismutase are a few of the supplement forms used in cancer treatment.

Considerations

• Enzyme equalizer therapy involves ingesting large doses of supplement capsules on a daily basis. Treatment therapies typically use a combination of several enzyme materials on the premise that each one reinforces the effects of the other. There are questions as to whether enzymes taken orally can actually affect cancer cells in the body, since the body breaks them down into amino acids before they reach the bloodstream, according to the American Cancer Society. Also of concern is the safety dosage for enzyme supplements as no FDA specifications are in place for this classification of drugs.
