Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Does anyone here put any stock in enzymes like No-Fenol by Houston? With the addition an enzyme that contains zyphenase, xylanase, and cerecalaise, like No-Fenol, can a person with slow phase II pathways better digest salicylates?? ~robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is theoretically a good one to start with as it doesn't contain a lot of proteases and therefore is more gentle for people with digestive issues. However, on the Enzymes and Stuff website, it says that *some* people with heavy metals are not able to tolerate enzymes until they do some chelation. I tried No Phenol myself as I have a huge problem with phenols (which includes) salicylates) and it was a big mistake for me to take a whole capsule. I got significant reactions like big-time burning for hours. Then I tried using just a teeny part of a capsule sprinkled on food. I still got reactions but not as strong. But still too strong for me to continue to take the enzymes. You might have better luck than me with it! Many of the kids with autism use it and have great success with it. I don't want to discourage you, but only suggest that you proceed slowly, taking a small part of a capsule rather than the whole thing, whatever you try. Unless you are not especially sensitive to things. The Enzymes and Stuff website has a load of information about enzymes, how to select them, now to take them, etc. And it has a section on enzymes for people with phenol problems; there's more than one option. Hope you can find something that works for you! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
