Re: Bromelain- has it helped your child? It's an enzyme

[Guest guest]

I recommend you read the book Enzymes For Autism & Other Neurological Disorders

by Deflice....it's all about enzymes...it's one of the 1st biomed books I

red about 7 years ago... & enzymes were one of the 1st things I started...though

I still adhere to a quality diet because good nutrition feeds the cells... & they

need all the help they can get. Here's 's really good website on enzymes:

http://enzymestuff.com/

In her book she explains each enzyme, including bromelain, what it does, what

foods it helps break down etc. There are many enzymes, some for digestion, some

for cleaning up the cellular debree, some for viruses & to break down biofilms

(these are mainly dosed on an empty stomach). One of my favorites for mopping up

cellular debree is Virastop:

Not to step on any docs toes, but I personally don't think Bromelain alone as

lone enzyme will be enough for our kids....reading enzymestuff, Houston's

website & the enzymedica enzyme web sites should help educate you further,

's book will take you even further in making a more informed decission.

Inform yourself then go back & talk w/your doc....it's good that he's willing to

recommend & I'm sure when you go back so informed he'll work w/further informed

on it....it's always helpful to have a doc on your side, especially if you are

in the US & having to have a note to dose the enzyme @ school....every year I

need a docs note as the nurse has to dose the enzyme before he eats lunch...it's

a real pain to get it signed every year, but it has to be done, 7 years now as

he's 14 & in Middle school-mostly gen ed.

I have personally used Houston Enzymes

http://www.houston-enzymes.com/

We use the TriEnza (w/DPP IV activity for caseins & glutens)

which is a combination of AFP-Peptizyde to help digest proteins, Zyme Prime

(mainly for carbs & fats) & No-Fenol for phenolic foods (they also told me it

helps w/oxalates)...we've used these products successfully for 7 years now.

While enzymes aid in digestion...which he needed help with, enzymes have been

just a piece for us...just like the diet, detox & many, many other treatments

have been for us...a much needed piece of his very big puzzle.
