OVERVIEW OF ENZYME THERAPY: Enzyme therapy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine that uses specific enzymes to improve various bodily functions. In cancer treatment, enzyme therapy is used to improve the immune system, decrease inflammation, and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Enzyme therapy can also help to break down cancer cells and prevent them from spreading. Although enzyme therapy has shown some promising results, more research is needed to determine its effectiveness and safety.
PANCREATIC ENZYMES: Pancreatic enzymes, also known as pancreatic enzymes supplement (PES), are a type of enzyme therapy that contains a mixture of enzymes, including lipases, amylases, and proteases. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and are involved in the digestion of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. In cancer treatment, pancreatic enzymes are used to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and enhance the immune system. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of pancreatic enzymes in cancer treatment.

SERRAPEPTASE: Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the silkworm. It is used in enzyme therapy to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve circulation. Serrapeptase has been found to have anti-cancer properties, including the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and prevent the formation of blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumors. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of serrapeptase in cancer treatment.

VITALZYM™: Vitalzym™ is a blend of systemic enzymes that includes proteases, amylases, lipases, and serrapeptase. It is used in enzyme therapy to improve the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote the breakdown of excess fibrin. Fibrin is a protein that can accumulate in the body and contribute to the formation of blood clots, scar tissue, and tumors. Vitalzym™ has been studied for its potential to improve outcomes in cancer treatment, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

WOBENZYM™/WOBE-MUGOS™/PHLOGENZYM™: Wobenzym™, Wobe-Mugos™, and Phlogenzym™ are systemic enzyme supplements that contain a combination of proteases, bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. These enzymes are used in enzyme therapy to improve the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. Wobenzym™ has been studied for its potential to improve outcomes in cancer treatment, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

In conclusion, enzyme therapy is a promising complementary and alternative medicine approach to cancer treatment. Pancreatic enzymes, serrapeptase, Vitalzym™, Wobenzym™, Wobe-Mugos™, and Phlogenzym™ are some of the enzyme therapies used to improve the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair in cancer patients. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of these therapies in cancer treatment. It is important for cancer patients to discuss the use of enzyme therapy with their healthcare providers before starting any treatment.
