I have had that book for a year: the enzyme cure. I would like to

hear Devin's opinion of the article too.

I have mixed feelings on the book though (bought it through

amazon.com). One one level it is okay, but in every section they

tell how you can solve the problem by buying one or more of the

special enzyme formulation. The don't talk about the specific

enzymes, just the formulations, which detracts a bit from the

message.

For example, for 'catherine' with weight and thyroid problems, the

recommendation is to take:

Thera-zyme PAN

Thera-zyme Lvr

Thera-zyme Opt

Thera-zyme TRMA and

Thera-zyme IrB

plus a handful of other supplements.

So it tells you more about each condition and then which combination

of 3-6 proprietary products to buy for it, more like a sales book

for enzymes then about enzymes. The number of possible Thera-zyme

products is up to 34. It is one of the enzyme books I use the least.

Yes, I know of Lee.

Pure carbohydrate meals can increase the availability of tryptophan, which is

the precursor to serotonin, but this is usually blocked when dietary protein is

available, so this is an uncommon response. Nevertheless, there is some

indication that carbs are involved with mood swings (may explain the

depression experienced when on diets). The problem may lie more with

inappropriate responses to blood sugar, i.e. pre-diabetes, rather than solely

with diet.

An interesting study sponsored by National Enzyme and directed by me at

Bastyr University indicated that when healthy people were on an enzyme

supplement high in carbohydrase enzymes, there was a lower rise in blood

sugar and blood insulin levels following a meal compared to when the same

group did not take enzymes. The result did not quite reach significance, but

the trend was definitely there.
