ENZYME PROCESS(uk)

The company is dedicated to supplying the professional therapist with high quality American-origin Clinical Nutrition (specialist food supplements) including nutritional complexes, enzyme formulae, protomorphogen complexes and herbals. It also distributes Complex Homoeopathics and Diagnostic Supplies.

Enzyme Process Supplements

Years of experience and product development firmly based on studies, both empirical and clinical, has enabled Enzyme Process to provide the finest food supplements available today. For ease of use, they are grouped under four main headings:

Digestive Aids & Enzymes; Protomorphogens; Vitamins and Minerals; Special Combinations.

All supplements are manufactured to the highest standards in our own plant and laboratories in Arizona, USA. As far as possible, our products are formulated to include only the active ingredients from natural sources. They are presented either in hard shell capsules or in tablets with excellent dissolution characteristics. Excipients are used only when needed for tablet stability. These supplements contain and list only those ingredients needed to achieve maximum results, and due to their simple structure they are usually tolerated by the most sensitive digestive systems.

Through excellent educational programmes, practitioners can quickly learn to prescribe these products effectively and successfully.

The advantages of using the Enzyme Process range are:

• Innovative formulae
• Highest quality ingredients
• Careful processing
• Excellent absorption
• Broad spectrum of uses
• Expert practitioner support from the Enzyme Process team

New Vistas Remedies

Recognising that no one modality will provide all the answers for optimum health promotion, Enzyme Process in Europe has also always offered homoeopathic products. New Vistas remedies, well known and respected in the USA for many years, are now also produced in the Republic of Ireland in the first and only licensed homoeopathic pharmaceutical premises in that country.

The comprehensive range includes:

Combination Remedies; Xenobiotics (Detoxifiers); Liquescences; Allersodes; Nosodes; Sarcodes and Isodes

New Vistas remedies are manufactured to the highest standards with the unique and patented "Quantum Quality Control" to ensure that every remedy is pure and of the highest possible efficacy. These procedures provide both practitioner and patient with the standard of product which they deserve.

Despite their powerful therapeutic properties, New Vistas products are designed to avoid the sort of "healing crisis" which can be common with singulars and other unbalanced remedies.

Paradoxically the very complexity of the formulations makes them extremely simple to use. Many practitioners who have no formal homoeopathic training achieve good results for their patients with New Vistas products.

Fully Supported

Enzyme Process (UK) provide personal and telephone contact with professional customers. Educational seminars covering all aspects of clinical nutrition and complex homoeopathy are given by expert speakers from time to time.

Both observational and experimental placebo-controlled studies indicate that zinc may be beneficial in acne cases (1-5). One experimental study found that vitamin A may be helpful (6) and its biological utilisation is enhanced with vitamin E supplementation (7).

Other studies have found digestive support is essential for improved assimilation and utilisation of nutrients (8,9). Assessment of pH is helpful in order to understand how and why detoxification mechanisms may be overloaded in these cases.

In females, ovarian support and B6 supplementation may be necessary (10).

In assessing digestive and nutritional status one must look at the quality of diets Americans habitually consume. Data on food trends since 1900 to the present indicate that the consumption of alkaline and enzyme/nutrient-rich quality foods has declined, while the consumption of foods of acid ash and low enzyme/nutrient quality has increased (1). Digestive status and nutrient/enzyme reserves are also influenced by factors other than eating habits, including cigarette smoking, drug interactions, alcohol consumption and physiological stress (2). Because of these environmental and dietary factors, more and more patients with digestive symptons are in varying states of acidosis. The lowered pH and enzyme responsible for impaired digestion, absorption and resultant decreased nutrient utilisation. Although some researchers have recognised one aspect of digestive incompetence (hypochlorhydria) (3-7), Morter’s pioneering research on pH and digestive function has explained how these problems are related to a decreased pH and lowered enzyme reserve.

The metabolic rate of energy requirements of each patient are important factors, thus carbohydrate utilisation must be seriously considered. Avoidance of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates helps to reduce the symptons of reactive hypoglycaemia (1), while increasing complex carbohydrates (whole grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables) is helpful in normalising glucose metabolism.

Nutrients such as niacinamide have been associated with glucose metabolism disorders and may be helpful (2). A deficiency of vitamin B6, associated with carbohydrate metabolism, can result in faulty carbohydrate metabolism, while supplementation may be beneficial (3).

Chromium supplementation has also been reported as beneficial in these cases (4). Magnesium supplementation may glucose-induced insulin secretion and maintain glucose at normal levels (5). Although the textbook entitled: "Basics of food allergy", states that 75% of functional hypoglycaemia is caused by allergy, many clinicians are finding that these food allergies are a result of digestive incompetence (6).

Dietary management is critical in this disorder as studies have documented how a high acid ash diet increased calcium excretion and bone less (1). Too much animal protein has been reported as the major factor in calcium bone loss and this is confirmed by observation studies that report statistics on vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians versus omnivores (2-8). Furthermore, Morter has provided physicians with a rational and reasonable answer to why calcium, utilised in the buffering process, is depleted from the alkaline reserve. His long-term clinical research has shown that the body uses this calcium out of necessity for survival in order to buffer the excess amount of inorganic acids generated by a high acid ash diet.

Caffeine and alcohol, known expansive foods, have also been documented as increasing urinary and faecal calcium loss (9-13).

Folic acid, a necessary coenzyme for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, has been reported as helpful in some cases (14). A vitamin D deficiency has been associated with osteoporosis (15-17), while supplementation may be beneficial in normalising calcium absorption and effective in treating postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (18-21).

The dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio is another factor that can upset calcium balance (22) as scientists and government statistics confirmed the fact that Americans have virtually doubled their intake of dietary phosphorus over the past 40 years from less than 800 to over 1400mg average intake per day (23).

Magnesium deficiency has also been associated with osteoporosis (24-27). Since a deficiency of hydrochloric acid impairs calcium absorption and increases urinary calcium excretion, the possibility of a gastric hypoacidity condition should be seriously considered (29,30). Morter has presented an excellent explanation of how osteoporosis is related to acidosis and a depletion of the alkaline reserve (31).
