Supplemental digestive enzymes.
Tip 14: Get your enzymes through fresh fruits and vegetables with additional support from supplemental enzymes.
Welcome,
Just to let you know, I will continue to place Regal’s touching video at the top of each blog entry. That way, it is easily accessible. Now, back to my discussion of enzymes.
To support human and animal bodies alike, digestive enzyme supplements have now been developed for our intake. My first introduction and experience with digestive enzymes came when working with a naturopath. I had been very ill with the Epstein-Barr Virus for ten years and had found no medical help despite years of searching. Lucky for me, I finally heard of a particular naturopath who specialized in helping people with the EBV. Western medicine, as you may be aware, has little to offer in the area of helping people with viruses.
Upon starting with my enzyme therapy, I felt a significant shift in my state of feeling better within the first month. Considering that I had suffered for the prior ten years, it was an amazing and most welcomed shift. Then, after taking my enzymes religiously for an additonal five more years, the virus was completely out of my system. About three years ago, I resumed taking supplemental enzymes when I was again reminded of how important they are to one’s health and to their support in the prevention of disease. I take WobenzymN on a daily basis and feel enriched by these enzymes.
Then, knowing what I know now and making the decision to bring a 14 year old cat, Tux, into my home, I decided to apply all that I knew. I gradually tried to introduce her to the raw food diet which is nature’s avenue of helping felines get their enzymes. However, having been conditioned to cooked foods, she was not interested in any raw foods that I brought to her. So, I got her some digestive enzymes at the natural pet food store. Needless to say, she too gets her daily enzyme supplement added to her food every day.
Just a bit of feedback regarding Tux. A friend had seen Tux shortly after I had gotten her. After four months of eating the highest quality of canned and dry foods and having her daily enzymes, my friend visited again. Her comment was “Boy, Tux looks good. Her coat is so shiny!” To say the least, this was wonderful and fortifying feedback that affirmed that I was on the right track.
This whole issue of enzymes is very interesting and worth investigating. If we want to stay healthy and keep our animals healthy, we need to keep our bodies and theirs filled with enzymes. Because this is so important, I will continue to share more of what I have learned about enzymes.
