    The Enzyme Cure- How Plant Enzymes Can Help You Relieve 36 Health Problems (Alternative Medicine Guide)

    Cover of ISBN 188729922XThe Enzyme Cure
    How Plant Enzymes Can Help You Relieve 36 Health Problems (Alternative Medicine Guide):
    Book by Lita Lee, Lisa Turner and Burton Goldberg. Alternativemedicine.com Books 296 pages Paperback Published 1998-09-30. Description: The complete self-help guide to using enzymes--the little known but powerful nutritional marvel of nature--to reverse 28 major health condition, from one of the nation's leading enzyme therapists.
        • Review:: 'OK for an intro; no practical info I didn't really like the book. I've found it to be OK for novices who don't know what enzymes are and what they do. I wanted some practical information for a particular condition but didn't find it here. While I won't say "Don't read this book", I wouldn't recommend it to my friends if they wanted some practical information. Glancing over it in a book store is all one would need to grasp most of the information in the book.
        • Review:: 'Great book This book is excellent, like all books printed by Burton Goldberg. There is about 100 times the health information in this book as in any other health book. By that I mean, you learn about many ways to address each disease discussed, not just by using enzymes.

          Enzymes can be used to treat inflammation, TMJ, candidiasis, weight problems, headaches, hormonal imbalances, etc. There is virtually no condition which would not be improved by the use of enzymes.

          The only thing I don't like about the book is the author's emphasis on one brand of enzymes. Readers would be better served to know which enzymes a person needs, not which formula from this brand in particular. I hate to criticize this book, as it is excellent, but this is the only weak point. Constantly referring to certain formulations that are only available by prescription seems to make enzymes unattainable to the average reader.

          Enzymes are available at any health food store. Ask for anti-inflammatory enzymes, that's usually the only formula they carry, but they are enough to get you started.

          For more precise info, the book to read is "The Healing Power of Enzymes" by [DicQie]Create? Fuller, Ph.D. This book gives lists of symptoms that are likely to occur if you are deficient in a particular enzyme. You can diagnose yourself and work on getting the correct enzyme formula.

          For example, people with high cholesterol often have a lipase (fat digesting) enzyme deficiency. Taking lipase supplements will enable you to reduce your cholesterol level quickly.

          I definitely suggest you buy this book.

        • Review:: 'RED FLAG Whatever other pearls of wisdom this book may have to offer, the sidebar on page 212 destroys the author's credibility. It reads, "Do You Have a Neck Problem? A Simple Test Can Tell You" -- then, courtesy of Howard Loomis, D.C., you are instructed to lie on your back on a table with your arms crossed on your chest, raise both legs simultaneously while keeping your knees straight, then lower both your legs. You may not have a neck problem as "diagnosed" by using this technique but CONGRATULATIONS! -- you now will have a lower back problem. Lita Lee, Ph.D., was definitely remiss in not "road testing" this one! I tried this and then found out it is literally a prescription for lower back strain. It cost me three days off work, a trip to the doctor's office, a prescription for an anti-inflammatory and a prescription for a muscle relaxant. Gee, thanks Lita! The only piece of information that would be even more valuable is where to find the nearest trash receptacle so I can do justice to the rest of your book.
        • Review:: 'The Enzyme Cure: "The fact is, without enzymes, nothing works in the body," Lita Lee, Ph.D. states in her book, The Enzyme Cure: How Plant Enzymes Can Help You Relieve 36 Health Problems. Enzymes are "necessary for every chemical reaction in your body and the normal activity of your cells, tissues, fluids, and organs."

          The human body contains three types of enzymes: metabolic, which are necessary for all body processes, such as breathing; pancreatic, which are required for digestion; and plant, which also aid in digestion. While the pancreas produces some enzymes, the body gets most of its enzymes from fresh, raw foods. A diet based on unprocessed foods is essential for good health.

          Symptoms of enzyme-deficient diets include "allergies, fatigue, bloating, gas, indigestion, or any symptoms of undigested food," including "rashes, hives, nausea, headaches, diarrhea, or constipation."

          Dr. Lee includes samples of the questionnaires and charts she uses to help diagnose enzyme deficiencies. She also discusses the various kinds of tests that can be used, with information on how to obtain them. All medical terms are explained with "quick definition" boxes on the same page, making it easy to follow her discussion.

          The first part of the book explains enzyme deficiencies and therapy in general terms. The second, and largest, section delves into 36 specific health problems, with "success stories" drawn from her clinical practice. The causes of each condition are explained, along with preventative measures. Dr. Lee details the recommended enzyme therapies and dietary changes needed for each disorder. When appropriate, she recommends additional alternative therapies.

          Included in the 36 health problems she discusses are arthritis, diabetes, headaches, heart disease, and weight problems.

          Extensive appendices go into detail about hormonal balancing, especially as it relates to hypothyroidism; commercial enzyme formulations for those who cannot obtain adequate enzymes from diet; a list a enzyme practitioners; and product contact information.

          Originally a chemist, Dr. Lee spent over 30 years in chemical and medical research before training as a clinical nutritionist in 1980. She has practiced as an enzyme therapist since 1987 and writes extensively in the fields of nutrition, medicine, and the environment. Readers will find the recommendations in The Enzyme Cure useful in achieving and maintaining good health.

        • Review:: 'New Paths to Health When I first found this book I had heard of enzymes but wasn't sure what they were, what they did or how they could help me and my family. I bought this book because it was from the Burton Goldburg group and I trust this line of books and information. The book is set up very precisely so not only is it very easy to read and understand but there are little side-bar notes defining things the average person would have not clue on. I never once got bored or found it hard to finish. It is packed full of wonderful information and success stories and broken into condition-specific chapters. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about natural treatments for common conditions or anyone who just wants to learn more. There is also a very helpful index to help you find an enzyme therapist in your area.

    Bottom Line's Prescription Alternatives, Hundreds of Safe, Natural, Prescription-free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health

    Book - [McGraw]Create? Hill Co., Inc., Hardcover Published 2003. Description: Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research broadens our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy are required. The publisher and authors of this work have checked with reliable sources to provide information that is complete and in accord with standards accepted at the time of publication. Please remember, knowledge is power.
        • Review:: 'Inaccurate by being overly simplistic. This book attacks prescription medications through overly simplistic statements. If you resonate with political AM talk radio, you take to this book. If you possess any critical thinking ability, it will frustrate you. For example, we look at the worn out arguments against SSRI's such as Prozac. Several statements from the book ensue: "In the not too distant future, widespread use and abuse of these drugs will be seen as one of the dark ages of medical history." Could the author also please offer some stock market tips? "While it's true that a small number of people with serious psychological problems can benefit from the short-term use of these drugs..." I know of a person with reasonably serious bio-social, psycho-hormonal problems who benefited long-term, over a ten plus year period. Benefited greatly at that. "Ultimate symptom we should all behave alike...", "the idea that popping a pill will give us more agreeable personality traits," ... "SSRI's create a false sense of emotional detachment..." These are manifestations of the argument that, through the miracle of SSRI's, we will turn the population into a happy group of Stepford Zombies. Ain't true. People continue to have differentiable personalities, empathize with others, tend to their affairs, play the piano passionately, and exhibit a host of other humanoid behaviors. For the unfortunate person cited above, SSRI's *reduced* emotional detachment. We also learn that the SSRI "could" make us suicidal. We are not told of the significant number of suicides possibly prevented by these drugs. After these statements, we get to read side-effect information that is available for free from the manufacturer. Some of the negative side effects are short-term startup effects that go away, which the book fails to mention. We are also presented with alternative medicines, some of which have themselves been discredited by a number of sources. No folks, don't pop pills like candy. BUt be a bit critical in what you read and what you are influened by.
