The Power of Protease

“All viruses are alike in that they have protein coats containing nucleic acid...Enzymes fight viruses by breaking up this protein” (Anthony J Cichoke, D.C.)
Protease is a classification of a group of enzymes which act on protein molecules and assist in catalyzing reactions. These reactions, in effect help to change the molecular structure, or break down the protein molecules. Based on clinical studies, it is known that proteases are able to dissolve almost all proteins as long as they are not components of living cells. Normal living cells are protected against lysis by the inhibitor mechanism. Viruses, parasites, fungal forms, and bacteria are either protein or protected by protein. The introduction of oral proteases presents the ability of those enzymes to act upon the protein coating of viruses or any protein that is harmful to the body or does not belong. Enzymes can also break down undigested food protein, cellular debris, and toxins in the blood, sparing the immune system this task. The immune system can then concentrate its full action on the bacterial or parasitic invasion. It should be noted that protease when taken on an empty stomach are readily taken up into the mucosa cells of the intestine and passed into the blood circulation. Clinical observations have noted that upon high intake of oral protease, heavy metal concentrations have been significantly decreased in the blood. While in the blood, proteases are taken up byalpha II-macroglobulin which ensures its survival in the body. This same alpha II macroglobulin escorts the protease throughout the body and appears to have the same ability that white blood cells have for determining what does not belong. Once identified the Alpha II macroglobulin exposes the protease to the protein invader and digestion of that protein begins.
