or another type of supplement? There are so many that it is

confusing. Is TF an enzyme or are you talking about Enzyme/Peptizyde

that help boost the immune system?

I wanted to find you some references for enzymes role in building the

immune system, and the benefits when taking enzymes between meals.

You can find tons of information by searching for enzyme therapy,

immune system and enzymes, detox and enzymes, digestive enzymes, etc.

I am not sure how this is different than the transfer factors, but

they are different. If you read through these articles, this will

explain how the enzymes work...and then you will need to read on the

TF to see how they work (sorry, I just don't know). TF is not an

enzyme though. Straight enzymes products like EnzymAid Complete and

Peptiyzde and Zyme Prime (and many others) can helps with immune

system support, especially the proteases. Proteases act like Pac-man

type elements and go through the gut and blood cleaning out all the

garbage (toxins, wastes, free radical, infections and inflammations).

They selectively only attack " dead " items, not living cells and

tissue. Before the 1960s, bromelain, a standard protease, was

commonly used for burn victims to keep the wounds cleaned out. Let me

know if you need anything else. .

Scientific literature supporting the anti-inflammatory benefits of

proteases includes a study called " Oral proteolytic enzymes in the

treatment of athletic injuries: a double blind study " published in

The Pennsylvania Medical Journal 68 (10): 35-7 1965, and more

specific studies such as " Oral Anti-inflammatory Enzyme Therapy in

Injuries in Professional Footballers, " The Practitioner 198: 543-6

(1967). Compared with subjects administered a placebo, those who were

given oral proteases showed significant reductions in healing time

from various sports-related injuries, including bruising, swelling

and other traumas.

In support of the immune system, proteolytic enzymes are the

mediators of the body's defense and homeostatic mechanisms. Studies

in vitro and in vivo have shown that protease of endogenous or

exogenous origin can directly alter lymphocyte responses in a dose-

dependent manner. Both lymphocytes and microphages expose cell

surface protease in response to antigens and during antibody

production ( & Ziccardi: New York: Academic Press 1976).

Overall, highly active proteolytic enzymes enhance and strengthen the

immune system; ward off antigens, food and airborne allergies; break

up toxic waste and cellular debris; and aid in circulation by

modulating the presence of Circulating Immune Complexes (ClCs) within

the body.

This is an easy to read overview of benefits of enzymes between meals

as besides just digesting food.

Purify blood

Strengthen the Immune System

Break down fats

Lower Cholesterol

Enhance mental capacity

Cleanse the colon

Enhance Sleep

Sheds excess weight & fat

Improve aging skin

Bacteria balance in the colon

Enzymes and their relation to disease

Digestive System Basics

" When your food is poorly digested, you absorb nutrients that aren't

fully broken down or usable.

Your immune system will attack and defend your body against partially

digested foods that get into the bloodstream, because the immune

system doesn't recognize it as food. It sees a toxic invader and

destroys the food. When this happens you don't get the benefit of

that food and you weaken your immune system by using it in a role it

shouldn't be involved in. In other words, you are using the immune

system and metabolic enzymes daily to clean the bloodstream of

undigested food particles, instead of having their full strength to

protect and repair the human body. "

Taking Digestive Enzymes Between Meals

Looking at live blood samples under a dark field microscope, you can

actually see what's going on inside the blood. Here are some of the

unhealthy conditions seen even in people who think they're healthy:

-Red blood cells sticking together (which can be caused by very

sticky undigested proteins). This condition can lead to poor

circulation, migraine headaches and chronic fatigue.

-Cholesterol and uric acid crystals (which can lead to arthritis or

gout).

-Plaque, caused by undigested fats and undigested proteins, which can

lead to arteriosclerosis.

The before and after blood tests have proven:

-Digestive enzyme formulation when taken between meals or on an empty

stomach will go directly into the blood stream and clean up the

blood.

-Including fat and protein deposits left in the body from years of

past poor eating habits. Plaque is partially caused by undigested

fats and undigested proteins that build up on the walls of the

arteries. If it builds up enough, you've got clogged arteries. Taken

on an empty stomach these enzymes will help clean up the arteries.

Taking digestive enzymes with each meal helps digest the food you're

eating. Which means less sludge in your bloodstream and less sludge

in the intestinal track and colon...

and if you take three enzyme capsules every day on an empty stomach,

the additional benefits are so numerous they would be a shame to

miss. Taken on an empty stomach (meaning you haven't eaten any thing

for at least 2 hours) these enzymes go directly into the bloodstream

and...

-digest proteins, assimilate fats, stimulate the immune system,

increase energy, kill bacteria, eliminate toxins, improve

circulation, dissolve uric acid crystals, break up cholesterol

deposits. Increase white blood cell size and activity, raise T-cell

activity and production and increase the surface area of the red

blood cell. Which makes it possible to carry more oxygen to all parts

of the body.

Clinical studies referenced in the book " Enzymes, The Fountains Of

Life " show that a good enzyme formulation has the capability of

increasing and elevating the immune system activity by as much as 700

to 1300 percent within one hour after ingesting.
