Systemic Enzymes<br /><br />http://www.TakeBackYourHealth.com<br /><br />Three hundred years ago no one knew what a vitamin was and if you’d said the word “antioxidant” people would have looked at you as if you had two heads.<br />That was back in the age of sail, when thousands of sailors got very sick if they were at sea for months or years. One of the symptoms was that all their teeth would fall out! Bad news! <br /><br />The disease was called scurvy. An English doctor was alert enough to notice that scurvy disappeared totally — and fast! — when the sailors ate fresh citrus fruit.<br /><br />Eventually the Royal Navy required every ship to carry a supply of oranges, lemons or limes to keep the sailors healthy. That’s why the English are called “Limeys”to this day. Now we know that vitamin C was the ingredient in citrus fruit that cured scurvy. Scurvy is what’s called a deficiency disease. It’s caused by the lack of a nutrient the body MUST have. If you provide the missing nutrient, you cure the disease. It was a long, long time before scientists discovered vitamins and antioxidants. They just knew there was something in citrus fruit that prevented scurvy and cured the disease at once if you already had it.<br /><br />We’ve come a long way since the first “Limeys.” Yet we still haven’t connected all the dots. With enzymes as with antioxidants, there’s still a lot to learn, and alternative medicine has to do most of the work while conventional doctors throw bricks (and send out police with handcuffs to stop the work from going forward).<br /><br />Enzymes
