We are often surprised to witness a spontaneous healing of body or mind in ourselves or others. But the truth is this miracle of healing and damage control goes on inside our bodies continuously. Because it is going on unconsciously, we take no notice of it until something goes awry.
Although some experts may debate which techniques actually work to facilitate healing, no one argues about the reality of mind healing or the mind body connection. Your mind has the potential to restore your health, whether it happens quickly and completely or slowly over time. http://www.holistic-mindbody-healing.com/mind-healing.html
Trying to direct the subconscious to heal at will has led to the resurgence and development of mind healing techniques. Some of these methods are ancient, some are quite new.
When used properly and consistently, you may experience positive, sometimes miraculous effects mentally and physically. At other times, despite your best efforts, you notice no benefit at all. This is part of the mystery that has yet to be figured out.
Keep in mind that whatever methods you choose, whether visualization, hypnosis, tapping and so on, your subconscious cannot be primed, coaxed, manipulated, or bullied into carrying out your conscious wishes anymore than hollering at your computer will change its programs.
Mind healing techniques can be used along with conventional medical treatment and natural remedies. Using needed therapy, herbs, medication, healing foods, emotional healing techniques, or surgery does not mean you lack the belief to heal. Together they can help set the healing power of the mind in motion, remove what is harming you, and provide what is needed for healing and continued wellness. This is what holistic mindbody healing is all about. A rebirth so to speak you’re reborn in wholeness a whole new you 🙂
Follow these three steps to maximizing your body mind healing results.
Neutralize interferences – You may have to identify and negate limiting beliefs, emotional blocks, and the lure of secondary gains, or side benefits of being ill, that keep you from realizing your conscious desire to heal. Using one or more of these methods can help.
Because physical (and mental) healing often follow the release of long held negative emotions, some of these techniques do double duty. For example, experienced EFT professionals document a 70% or higher success rate for reducing negative emotions and a 50% success rate for improving or resolving physical issues. Dr. Sarno claims a 70% success rate using pain protocols that address and delete subconscious nocebo programs. Once they are gone, the body relaxes and restores balance.
A great many people experience healing following forgiveness of deeply held judgments against self and others. Personally, I have experienced an amazing mental healing when I expressed heart-felt gratitude for a very difficult situation. Perhaps that was also because inherent in my thanksgiving was a releasing of my resentment.
Colin Champ: Augmenting Cancer Therapy with Diet ????????
Provide and/or remove. Your subconscious cannot do its job of healing and restoring balance if it does not have the vitamins, minerals and other building blocks of health it needs or if problematic substances are present. You may need to avoid foods and chemicals that create sensitivities. You may need to make a habit of relaxing mind and body so your brain can release healing hormones.
Hormones exert clear and substantial effects on wound healing. As clinicians begin to develop an understanding of the role of hormones in the healing wound, they can begin to address the cause of the delayed or nonhealing wounds that are experienced by many in the elderly population. Arguably, estrogen is the most important hormone to regulate skin homeostasis and has clear implications for wound healing.
Unfortunately, the possible detrimental effect of estrogen treatment on other systems is problematic, highlighted by the recent women’s health initiative studies and the recent addition of estrogen to the US Department of Health and Human Services’ list of cancer-causing agents.
In 1902, the Scottish Embryoligist John Beard proposed that proteolytic, pancreatic enzymes were the body’s primary defense against cancer. Within a few years, pancreatic enzyme cancer clinics popped up all over London. Not too long after this, Madame Curie proposed radiation therapy for cancer patients and Dr. Beard’s work was soon lost in the tomes of medical history.
Dr. Beard’s pancreatic enzyme therapy for cancer was re-evaluated in the 1960’s by William Donald Kelley, a dentist who had used Beard’s protocol to cure himself of pancreatic cancer. Kelley went on to become known as “the father of Metabolic Typing”. He offered individualized nutritional therapies for patients, mostly who had cancer.
Today many clinicians use pancreatic enzymes for alternative cancer treatments. Most notably, the late Nicholas Gonzalez, MD, a respected alternative cancer physician in Manhattan whom died suspiciously July 21, 2015. Had been using porcine-derived pancreatic enzyme therapy for 20 years in his clinical practice.

Enzymes and Cancer pt1
There a variety of other proteolytic enzymes on the market including nattokinaise, commonly recommended as an anti-coagulant. I have read very mixed reviews with this fermented soy-derived enzyme.
Bromelain from pineapple has been demonstrated to have potent anti-inflammatory properties, as well as fibrinolytic activity. Fibrinogen forms as a blood clotting agent produced by the liver. Excess fibrinogen is a primary cause of blood clotting, and is reflective of elevated levels of inflammation.
Not all enzyme supplements are made the same.
Proteolytic Enzymes & Serrapeptase
Proteolytic enzymes have a very potent anti-inflammatory effect. They have been shown to inhibit the formation of fibroids, scar tissue, fibrinogen and excessive blood clotting. They offer tremendous potential for the rapid increase of the healing processes of the body.
Proteolytic enzymes such as serrapeptase powerfully inhibit inflammation in the body. There is much in the way of clinical evidence in studies to demonstrate serrapeptase’s potent effects.
Serratia peptidase, commonly called serrapeptase is an enzyme taken from the intestinal bacteria of silkworms. Many German, European and Japanese doctors have used serrapeptase for decades to reduce inflammatory responses in the body, which in many instances reduced or eliminated the need for NSAID’s such as aspirin/ibuprofen. Studies have demonstrated serrapeptase’s potent anti-inflammatory effects for a vast array of conditions including:
- Joint swelling and arthritis
- Fibroids
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Excessive blood clotting
- Cystic breast disease
- Respiratory conditions
- Excess mucous and sputum
How do Proteolytic enzymes work to fight cancer?
Once absorbed the body prevents digestion of proteins in the blood and other body tissues producing antiproteases. The production of these antiproteases is critical to the mechanism of action of proteolytic enzymes. These antiproteinases block the invasiveness of tumor cells ~ as ~ well ~ as prevent the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Proteolytic enzymes exert a number of other interesting anticancer mechanisms including the inhibition of metastasis (the spread of cancer) and the enhancement of the immune response.
What clinical research has been done with proteolytic enzymes in cancer?
The clinical research that currently exists on proteolytic enzymes suggests significant benefits in the treatment of many forms of cancer. Specifically these studies also have shown improvements in the general condition of patients, quality of life, and modest to significant improvements in life expectancy. The studies have consisted of patients with cancers of the breast, lung, stomach, head and neck, ovaries, cervix, and also colon; lymphomas and multiple myeloma.
These studies involved the use of proteolytic enzymes in conjunction with conventional therapy (surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation) indicating that proteolytic enzymes can be used safely and effectively with these treatments. Proteolytic enzymes are not recommended for at least two days before or after a surgery as they increase the risk of bleeding. Proteolytic enzymes have been shown to be quite helpful in speeding up post-surgical recovery and relieving a complication of surgery and radiation known as lymphedema.
Enzymes may not share the superstar status of certain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and other miracle nutrients in the world of conventional health and nutrition, yet a growing number of studies suggest that enzymes very much deserve a standing ovation when it comes to improving overall health and the successful treatment of numerous diseases.
Enzymes perform an all-encompassing function in the development and maintenance of the human body. Dr. Edward Howell, father of enzyme nutrition and therapy, stated that enzymes are the very substances that make life possible. Yet mainstream medicine has frequently ignored this basic fact, undervaluing the enzymes’ vital role in health and underestimating their true potential in overall health, including disease management and prevention. Proponents and advocates of enzyme therapy regard enzyme bankruptcy as a lethal health catastrophe, causing countless bodies to shut down prematurely.
Know Your Enzymes
Bodies of research have identified more than 3,000 types of enzymes in the human body. As organic catalysts, enzymes are known to initiate, speed up, slow down, alter or halt about 4,000 kinds of biochemical reactions. Millions of biochemical reactions take place in our body on a daily basis, while including respiration, food digestion, assimilation and transportation of nutrients, detoxification of certain organs, blood purification, movement of muscles, production and regulation of hormones, and cell renewal and repair, to name a few. The enzymes make all these processes possible, and they are destroyed once they complete their respective tasks.
There are three types of enzymes: digestive, metabolic, and food enzymes. Digestive enzymes are produced by the digestive organs that aid in breaking down food into more assimilable forms. The four general classes of digestive enzymes are: amylase, which digests carbohydrates, starches, and sugars found in grains, fruits, and starchy vegetables; protease, which breaks down protein found in meat, nuts, and cheese into amino-acids; lipase, which breaks down fats and oils found in dairy and meat products into fatty acids; and cellulase, which helps digest fiber.
Metabolic enzymes on the other hand are manufactured by the body’s own cells to perform highly specific tasks required in regulating the blood, tissues, and organs. They are responsible for the production and growth of new cells, with the repair and maintenance of tissues and organs, transportation of blood to the different organs, and detoxification of the cells, tissues, organs, and blood. Metabolic enzymes also carry out the delivery and absorption of nutrients in various organs.
The third kind of enzymes is the f ood enzymes. These enzymes are the vital life force naturally found in raw, uncooked food which you can obtain a great deal from green vegetable juicing . By definition, raw food is food heated below 118 degrees F, the highest temperature in which these enzymes can still survive and function. There are a lot of well-documented cases that attest to the wonderful benefits and healing power of raw food.
The enzymes present in raw food work synergistically with the other nutrients in your body like vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and co-enzymes, allowing your digestive system to take its much needed rest and giving your immune system the necessary boost to successfully carry out its search and destroy missions.
The Enzyme and Disease Connection
The problem arises when the body becomes overburdened in producing enzymes due too poor dietary choices like eating cooked, highly processed and preservative-laden foods. According to research, food enzymes are heat-sensitive and die when heated at temperatures above 118 degrees F. When a person ingests enzyme-less food, his body then diverts a lot of its energy to the production of digestive enzymes to break down the carbohydrates, protein, fat, and other nutrients of the food. If a person has been eating cooked, unhealthy food most of his life, his body’s line of defense may already be exhausted in its fight against diseases associated with diets high in sugar, sodium, additives, trans and saturated fat, and carcinogenic substances.
This is further compounded by a person’s genetic predisposition to certain diseases. The body then struggles more to achieve homeostasis or internal equilibrium, which is needed for all the organ systems to run smoothly and to function properly. Because a lot of energy gets allotted to the manufacturing of digestive enzymes, with the production of metabolic enzymes becomes disrupted. The more important tasks of providing immune system back-up, blood purification, and organ detox needed in fighting off the disease all take a backseat to the digestion of cooked food.
Nevertheless the body does not stop recognizing an unfriendly invasion when it sees one, and in a greatly strained attempt to set all things back to order, it goes on a red-alert mode and uses all its limited energy to follow its natural tendency — which is to heal itself. The body is not meant to be in a state of emergency for a prolonged period of time. When this happens, the body finally breaks down and serious diseases like cancer develop.
Other diseases linked to enzyme deficiency include heart disease, which is a sign of the body’s inability to break down fats. Autoimmune diseases such as allergies and arthritis on the other hand are the results of the body’s incapacity to digest protein and carbohydrates.
The Enzyme Advantage
Studies indicate that increasing your raw food intake and taking enzyme supplements can be very potent measures in the prevention and healing of certain diseases including cancer. Although raw food already has its own enzymes to digest its own nutrients, the undigested substances circulating in the blood that are responsible for a lot of diseases would need extra enzymes before they could be broken down for elimination. This is where enzyme support comes in handy.
The high concentration of enzymes ….in enzyme supplements…. can dissolve all the unfriendly substances floating in the bloodstream that are causing damage to various organs. Since bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells are made up of protein, proteolytic or protein-metabolizing enzymes … such as protease … would greatly assist in destroying pathogens and cancer cells. White blood cells are also heavily dependent on enzymes; a shortage on their supply would therefore result in impaired immune function. It is these reasons that a mega-dose of enzyme supplements is usually required to restore health to cancer patients.
Various experiments conducted on enzymes demonstrate their versatility and efficacy. Combined with a proper diet and other nutritional supplements, enzymes can perform tasks that are nothing short of miraculous. The use of enzymes among athletes suffering from injury and patients who underwent surgery accelerated the recovery and healing of both groups. In one study, a marked improvement was noted among arthritic patients consuming raw food.
In another study, a control group of hypertensive and obese outpatients experienced a significant improvement in their conditions on a raw vegan diet. Enzymes have also been shown to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy among cancer patients. Countless allergy sufferers reported relief upon increasing their enzyme intake. Other reported benefits include the elimination of digestive and colon problems, hay fever, asthma, inflammation, hypoglycemia, and Crohn’s disease.
With all the positive reports that enzymes are receiving, it is only high time that enzymes get the big publicity they so much deserve, and cease to be the underrated nutrients that they currently are. Often I am ask what would I do if I had cancer? My answer is and always will be Enzyme Therapy, Budwig Protocol with Bill Henderson Supplements. While accepting my fate that death is what Life Promises 🙂
