Commitment to Enzymes and Good Health

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Gary wants all Young Living distributors, including those in their '60s and beyond, to enjoy a zestful, healthy life.

Aging is not a requirement for diminished hormones. The higher the level of hormones you can maintain, the greater longevity you will have, the greater flexibility you will have in your joints and muscles, the greater strength you will have, and the more elasticity you will have in your ligaments; then when you are 60 plus years old, you will be able to do the things you did when you were 30 years old.

So how does that happen? It’s called discipline. It’s called commitment—to a purpose, the purpose of your eating habits and what you supplement with. All of those will determine whether you can do that or not.

The upper stomach is alkaline, with a pH of 6.5–7, and food remains there for one hour and then enters the lower stomach, which is acid, with a pH of 2.5–5. This is really critical in helping to maintain good pH. What helps to maintain a proper pH in the stomach? Two things are really, really critical: Enzymes, No. 1, and probiotics, intestinal flora, No. 2.

So you have to have intestinal flora and enzymes to maintain a good pH range in the gut. If you don’t, what is the end result of not having good pH? Burping, gas, excessive acid, headache, stomach ache—all those wonderful things that we sometimes experience.

Your Body Cannot Create Hormones Without Enzymes

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Hormones keep us young and energetic. But remember, your body must have enzymes in order to create hormones.

Enzymes are natural chemical compounds that orchestrate other chemical functions. Foods are made of chemical elements that require enzymes to break them down and prepare them to be used by the body. Enzymes unlock these life-supporting nutrients in our food. Without enzymes, life would cease to exist.

Enzymes play a major role in every metabolic process in the body, from glandular function and support to hormone production and toxic waste disposal. They facilitate digestion and assimilation. Enzymes are in all raw food products; carrots are especially very high in natural enzymes.

Enzymes need minerals and vitamins to function, and they free minerals, vitamins, proteins, and hormones to be used in metabolic functions.

This is so critical. How many of you women have hormone deficiencies and know it?  Hundreds. How many of you suspect you do? And you are right. Why? Your body cannot create hormones without enzymes. Hormones are made in a series of steps, and each step requires enzymes. Why are we hormone deficient? Not enough enzymes. Can we change life? Can we maintain longevity? Absolutely.

Enzymes Can Help with the Stress of Travel

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Gary's family poses for a photo before he leaves on another trip.

I can tell when I haven’t taken my enzymes for a couple of days, because I’ll start feeling a little tickle in the back of my throat, or I’ll feel a little congestion in my head, especially when traveling.

Nothing is harder on the body than traveling, particularly if you are traveling internationally. You are exposed to so much when you travel—radiation exposure, elevation changes, climatic changes, environmental changes, and going in and out of hotel rooms that you don’t know who was in the night before. So how do you do that and stay healthy?

Recently, I was gone for six days and only slept in the same bed for two nights. Then I came home for two nights and then traveled to Florida. That is stressful on the body. That would be okay if that’s the only thing I had done in the last year, but that is just a sample of my life every month.

So, know how to take care of yourself. Enzymes are the answer. They are also a possible answer to many of today’s health problems.

Enzyme “Blueprints”

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

When you apply, taste, or smell an essential oil, you are also stimulating the production of certain enzymes in your body.

I had a discussion with one of my professors years ago when I was at the Anadolu University in Turkey studying oil chemistry and GC and mass spectrometry. I had been having a fascinating debate with Dr. Bashir, who later visited me when I had the clinic in Springville.

I told him that I believe essential oils have enzymes in them. He just about went ballistic and said that there is no way essential oils have enzymes.

I told him that it’s true that you can’t see the enzymes in essential oils under a microscope. But think about this example: It takes a sperm and an egg to make a child, and after that child is conceived, you can’t find the sperm or the egg, but they were there.

It’s the same in essential oils. The enzymes are in the plant that produced that oil; therefore, the blueprints of the enzymes, or their energetic signatures, are then in the oil.

Because of that, more and more we’re seeing evidence of essential oils activating enzymes, so when you put an oil on or in your body through water or under your tongue, you are stimulating certain enzyme production in your body.

Last year I met Dr. Bashir in Cape Town, South Africa, at a conference. He grabbed me and hugged me and said, “Gary, you were right.” It was worth going all the way to Cape Town just to hear that.

Are essential oils invaluable to human beings? Absolutely.

Your Enzymes “Savings Account”

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

Gary explains how our enzymes "savings account" can become depleted and what we can do about it.

Enzymes enhance the absorption and utilization of food nutrients, but their production decreases in the absence of live food, disease, stress, aging, and petrochemicals.

You are born with a savings or reserve account of enzymes, except for amylase, which you are supposed to get from your mother’s milk from nursing, but when you start eating fast foods or frozen boxed foods, which are dead foods because they are devoid of enzymes, the enzymes you are born with have to come out of the reserve account to do the digesting. It’s like you’re taking out a loan.

As you keep taking out more and more on loan, pretty soon your savings account is spent. Then all of a sudden, when you eat what you have eaten before, you have a reaction. It may be bloating, water retention, acid burning, acid reflux, coughing, or a headache, but it’s a reaction.

Why is it that wheat is the staff of life, according to God, and yet a large number of people are allergic to it? And it’s not just wheat. Some people are allergic to anything with gluten in it.

How many of you have an allergy? Why are you having that reaction? Because your storage reserve, your savings account, has been depleted of enzymes.

How do you replace your reserve? You have to eat live food and drink live juices, or you have to supplement the enzymes.
