The Case of the Disappearing Spider Veins

[Guest guest]

This is really about systemic enzymes - and maybe FM. The spider veins

are more indicative of the effect of oral enzymes on the circulatory system .

Anyone know of a good all around systemic enzymes product?

The Case of the Disappearing Spider Veins.

Three years ago I was working with a fibromyalgia / lower back patient

restoring her strength and ability. She had been debilitated by fibromyalgia

for

some 5 years prior and had strained her back while attempting to cope with life

in a weakened state. For the 20 years prior this 40’s something gal had been

an executive for a well known cosmetics company. Along with the rehab and

general strengthening exercises we were doing, I had her start taking Systemic

Enzymes as a natural no side effect way to relieve the inflammation causing

her back pain and, to eat away at the fibrosis of her Fibromyalgia. (Fibrosis

is the actual cause of the ischemic muscle pain of fibromyalgia).

 

Three months went by with this determined gal exercising hard, getting

stronger raising her energy levels and improving her ability to do the all

important

Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s). One day she bounces into the office and

announces that not only is her back and Fibromyalgia pain mostly gone but a

great many of her spider veins had disappeared and her varicose veins no longer

hurt! It had to be something we were doing she said, either the exercise or

the enzymes because nothing else was different in her life or daily routine!

 

After a bit of head scratching and research diving we discovered it was

mostly the enzymes that were doing the trick. Yes, large range-of-motion

resistance exercise pushes the pooled blood out of the stretched blood vessels

and can

temporarily drain them. Yet, in all the decades of exercise research, no one

has ever found a way of making spider veins go away or reducing the

flaccidity of veins that are already fully stretched out (varicosed) using

exercise of

any sort.

 

So what are enzymes? Enzymes are “bio-catalysts†they cause chemical

reactions to happen. We have some 3000 enzymes and over 7000 enzymatic

reactions in

our bodies. Without enzymes we would be stone cold dead! Moreover, enzymes

are essential for vitamins and minerals to work. Everyone has experienced

the fact that even though a certain vitamin or mineral is supposed to do a

particular thing, it does not work for everyone the same way all the time. Most

of

us take supplements and really can’t tell whether they are working or not.

One person might feel great another not feel any good effect at all.

 

Vitamins and minerals are misnamed, they are really co-enzymes and

co-factors. In other words, they are things that make enzymes work better; but

what if

you don’t have much of the enzymes to begin with? Then the co-enzymes won’t

work! In our youth we made a slew of enzymes, that’s what kept us young,

strong, without pain, healing quickly and frankly looking good. After the age

of

27 Physiology teaches that we enter “old ageâ€! That’s right 27! From 27

to

35 we have the fastest and steepest drop in our health, looks and ability we’

ll ever have in less than a decade. Why?

 

Enzymes or the lack of them are the trigger to aging. Dr. Max Wolf MD and

Ph.D. x 7 is the fellow who discovered the enzyme / aging relationship while he

was doing research at Columbia University in the 1930’s and 40’s. He found

that the body makes a finite amount of enzymes in a lifetime. We use up a good

many of them in our youth and so round about 27 the body slows down the

release of it’s protein cutting enzymes (the most important ones), and then

begins

to dole them out with an eyedropper instead of a tablespoon as it did before.

And further, every year it produces less and less enzymes in order to stretch

life out a little further. What happens as this depletion progresses? The

hydrolytic / proteolytic (protein cutting) enzymes are responsible for

hundreds of things but their most important actions are:

 

1). They are the bodies’ first line of defense against inflammation. Think

of when you were a kid, you walked off or shrugged off injuries that now would

lay you up for a week. Enzymes.

 

2). Enzymes control the rate and accuracy of healing. They speed healing

without allowing the build up of scar tissue. Think of the wounds you healed as

a kid, with their thin, strong, plyable, almost invisible scar. Now think of

your wounds lately, thicker, knotty with scar tissue, not as strong and

certainly not invisible!

 

3). Though the development of fibrosis conditions such as Fibro Cystic Breast

Disease, Uterine Fibroids and Endometriosis are all linked with being

Estrogen Dominant, fibrosis conditions of all types cannot happen or are

dramatically

lessened if there are enough strong protein cutting enzymes present in the

body. Here the enzymes eat away at the fibrosis the body does not need!

 

4). They also clean the protein coating that connective tissue builds up

(polymerization). Why is that important? Well if the connective tissue is

under

the skin and holding it up, when it develops a coating of protein, it won’t

hold water any more and collapses – bingo you’ve got a wrinkle. Restore the

water holding ability of the connective tissue and the wrinkle is gone or eased

considerably.

 

5). Enzymes regulate immune function. If the system is to run down, the

enzymes will increase the cleaning / killing action of the white blood cells on

bugs and increase the bodies production of good things called Natural Killer

cells. If the immune system is running to high and creating auto immune

conditions such as MS, Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis, then the enzymes will down

shift

the immune system, control inflammation and eat the antibodies the immune

system is creating to attack it’s own tissue!

 

6). Protein cutting enzymes clean the blood of all the debris the liver can’t

manage to clear out of the blood on the “first pass†or the first time the

garbage goes thought the liver in the blood. This purifies the blood and

makes it flow easier. Not only do they clean the blood, the enzymes also

strengthen blood vessel walls and open micro circulation passages clogged with

fibrin

improving circulation overall.

 

Even if they didn’t make spider veins disappear, all those actions listed

above are enough of a reason to go and supplement enzymes for the rest of your

life.

 

The Systemic Enzymes effect on spider veins was discovered when patients in

Europe, where doctors prescribe systemic enzymes, reported the clearing up of

spider veins and easing of varicose vein discomfort. Studies done afterward

on the effect of oral enzymes in circulatory diseases confirmed the casual

findings.

 

Now be warned; just like anything else that works, there are some folks who

will turn out a like product that won’t. Enzymes are finicky living critters

and if not handled just right during the blending, tableting or encapsulation

process they will die and not ever work. I had my wife Michele on a load of a

leading systemic enzyme to prevent the formation of scar tissue after the

emergency c-section birth of our son. To my astonishment almost a year

afterward, her scar tissue development was extensive. It ran from the incision

to just

under her ribs, and wound into the abdomen threatening to choke off her

intestines! (That danger usually requires surgery to free the bowels). Her

“bubble

†of spider web like scar tissue was palpable (touchable) from the outside

and was even restricting her leaning back. I changed to a different enzyme

product and in 6 weeks the scar tissue was completely and totally gone – eaten

away safely and painlessly!

 

“Sounds like fairy dust; too good to be true†you say! Look up the

recommended readings below and convince yourself otherwise that spider veins,

wrinkles, inflammation and fibrosis are not incurable conditions. Remember

beauty

beings on the inside!
