Shan's Note: I have been reading some books by doctor whom found that by

using digestive enzymes that he could make a big difference in several

illnesses, so decided to forward this. Dr. Howells book Enzyme Nutrition is

basically

saying that the body's ability to generate enzymes becomes exhausted from

years of consumption of cooked food (which has had its own enzyme content

eliminated by heat). If you have not read Howells, you should.

 

Howell, Dr. Edward. Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept. Wayne, New

Jersey: Avery Publishing Group, 1985.

Dr. Howell's book is one of the most important ever written about what

constitutes proper human nutrition. This last and most up-to-date version is

currently in print; it is easily and inexpensively obtained. It should be

studied

by anyone seeking a full understanding of human diet's contribution to health

or disease. Because it is in print only one chapter can be legally offered.

Chosen is the first chapter, Howell's introduction to the subject. It is

being offered in hopes that reading it will inspire the reader to obtain and

read

the entire text. It appears that Avery Publishing applied talented editorial

abilities to draw from Dr. Howell the most lucid explanation of his views,

one the average reader can comprehend without strain. Downloads as a PDF of

139 kb. IN PRIINT.

ABSTRACT:

Disturbances in intestinal microbial ecology and in the immune system of the

host have been implicated as a part of the pathogenesis in chronic fatigue

syndrome. Probiotic lactic acid producing bacteria have been shown to prevent

and alleviate gastrointestinal disturbances and to normalize the cytokine

profile which might be of an advantage for patients suffering from chronic

fatigue syndrome. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of

Lactobacillus

paracasei ssp. paracasei F19, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFB 1748 and

Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 on fatigue and physical activity in CFS patients.

 

Fifteen patients fulfilling the criteria set by international researchers in

the field at the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in 1994 for

chronic fatigue syndrome, were included in the study. The patients had high

fatigue severity scores and high disability scores. During the first two weeks

baseline observations without treatment were assessed, succeeded by four weeks

of intake of a probiotic product and a four-week follow-up period. The

fatigue, health and physical activity was assessed by the use of the Visual

Analogue Scales and the SF-12 Health Survey. Faecal samples were collected and

the

normal microflora was analysed.

 

Neurocognitive functions improved during the study period while there were

no significant changes in fatigue and physical activity scores. No major

changes occurred in the gastrointestinal microflora. At the end of the study 6

of

15 patients reported that they had improved according to the assessment

described.

 

The findings in this study that improvement of health is possible to achieve

should encourage further studies with interventions with probiotics in

patients with CFS.
