What Are The Controversies Surrounding The Use Of Oral Hydrolytic Enzymes?

The main Controversy regarding oral hydrolytic or proteolytic enzymes can be best summarized in one word. Controversy dates back to the origin of medical enzyme for the treatment. Some of the early investigators obtained excellent results while others could not duplicate or confirm the same enzyme researchers point out the discrepancy was due to the fact that fresh materials of animal or plant origin appeared to have an effect, although the activity ceased the movement the enzymes were denatured by ageing or heat. Unfortunately, the idea that they did not work persisted and became dogma, even though according to the published reports, the lack of effect was due to the administration inactive preparations.

A recent presentation at a national biological response modifier symposium in Tulsa, Oklahoma, stresses some of the Controversies regarding oral enzyme (Larrick). These controversies be discussed in some detail since they underscore the concerns and opinions frequently mentioned regarding the use of hydrolytic pr proteolytic enzymes.The presenter (Dr. Larrick) reviewed some oral enzymes preparations available in Europe for oral adjuvant therapy of cancer and other disease. He also reviewed some of the studies purported to demonstrate efficiency in cancer, various rheumatologic condition and AIDS.
