Enzyme Questions and Answers

Q46-Can enzymes help fight leukemia?

Maybe.  Remember, leukocytes are produced in greater quantities when cooked foods are eaten.  Leukemia is a disease in which the body produces too many leukocytes (white blood cells).  Eating raw food will help to alleviate the condition by eliminating the excess of leukocytes produced due to cooked food.  Since leukocytes are rich in enzymes, they are transported to the stomach area to aid in the digestive process because the cooked foods are void in enzymes. Consequently, leukocytes are diverted from their designated purpose.

Many people with leukemia have been successfully treated with raw food diets.  Research has demonstrated that (1) raw food produced no increase in white blood cells of the blood; (2) common cooked food caused leukocytosis (increase in white blood production); (3) pressure cooked food caused greater leukocytosis than non-pressure cooked food; (4) manufactured foods such as wine, vinegar, white sugar, and cooked, smoked, and salted meat, produce the most white blood cells.  If you have leukemia, it may be wise for you to eat raw foods or take enzyme supplements.

It has been the experience of many doctors that administering high amounts of protease enzymes orally to their patients, will result in a balance of red and white blood cell count.
