Enzymes Support the Function of the Immune System

Relieving swelling and pain caused by chronic arthritis.

The causes of rheumatoid arthritis are not yet been fully understood.  However, it is believed that viruses or bacteria are possibly responsible.  Enzyme therapy can successfully support the immune system in its fight against intruding enemies.

If you get up every morning with stiff fingers and hands and feel pain for at least 30 minutes, it could mean the beginning of rheumatoid arthritis.  When localized arthritis is not healed properly, but allowed to advance into its worse stages, the swelling and pain can spread to other joints.  In Germany, approximately 800 000 people suffer from chronic arthritis.  It attacts people of all ages, and three out of every four cases are women.

Natural active substances to support the immune system
The real cause behind rheumatoid arthritis is not completely clear.  Auto-immune diseases are caused by the body’s defense system loss of control and its attack on to its own healthy tissues.  Scientists suspect the disease is genetic.  However, since it could be triggered by bacteria and viruses, enzyme therapy can support the immune system to protect the body from the disease-causing intruders.

Be active, but gentle on the joints
Acute and chronic inflammation is accompanied by mild or intense throbbing pain.  What helps? Avoid strenuous and high-imput physical activity and opt for gentle exercise. Because enzymes are an essential part of human, animal and plant organisms, taking natural enzyme combinations alleviates pain and helps reduce swelling.  Taking the natural products will support and encourage a gentle healing process and accelerate the healing of inflammation. Enzyme therapy can improve the overall well being of a patient even in cases of chronic illnesses.

Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms

Tip:
Enzyme therapy can help relieve pain in cases of chronic inflammation.  The natural active substances activate the immune system, improve circulation and reduce swelling.  Specific enzyme combination products can be purchased over the counter in most pharmacies.

Arthritis and arthrosis

Pain relief
The World Health Organization (WHO) separates rheumatic diseases into two branches. The first is the degenerative rheumatic disease like arthrosis.  The second is generally regarded as rheumatoid arthritis. It is the most current form of rheumatic disease. 

Rheumatoid arthritis is typically developed between the ages of 30 and 50 and is often related to a failing immune system.  Arthritis is generally a result of the immune system’s false activation of immune cells and antigens.  Instead of attacking the intruder, the defense system starts fighting its own body cells and causes inflammation, which becomes chronic over time.  Arthrosis is caused by the use and damage of joints over time.  The injured cartilage becomes inflamed from overuse, worsens with age and leads to the grinding of bones.  The cartilage is worn down with the painful friction of the moving joints until it completely disappears.

Enzyme therapy
For a long time rheumatic diseases were considered untreatable.  Increasing knowledge on its causes and development, raises the number of possible treatments and their effectiveness. Trustworthy enzyme therapy can now be purchased over the counter.  The immune system is the basis for its effectiveness.  Inflammation is the natural reaction of a body to an antigen, such as a virus, bacteria or tumor cell.  The immune system must be in optimum balance to be able to control and regulate the inflammation and the healing process adequately.  Enzyme combinations gently stabilize the immune system and bring it back to its natural balance. The build up of antigens and the activation of white blood cells is slowed down.  The inflammation heals, the swelling subsides and the pain caused by the pressure on the sensitive nerve cells disappears.  Through an improved blood flow, muscles and joints are better supplied with essential oxygen, nutrients and warmth.

Pain in joints and muscles is caused by

  • Cold
  • Injuries incurred during physical activity
  • Age-related wear

Enzymes heal
Enzymes -- natural substances that support the immune system—
Accelerate the inflammation process, reduce the swelling, stop the pain, improve blood circulation, which heals the wound.  Specialized enzyme combination products may be purchased over the counter in pharmacies.

Naturally painless with enzymes

No grinding of the joints
What is often referred to as rheumatism has actually been medically divided into 400 different diseases.  Approximately 4 million Germans suffer from the inflammation of joints, muscles, tendons and bursas.

Even though physical activity is healthy…
Anyone at any age can be affected.  Recent studies have demonstrated that 50% of the population in its thirties undergoes changes in joints and that more women than men suffer from arthrosis.  Once diagnosed with arthrosis, many active men and women are unsure about  whether physical activity could worsen the disease.  Recent studies show that arthrosis patients do not need to refrain from physical activity, but should choose a low-impact exercise such as swimming or biking.

Popular enzymes
Enzyme therapy is a valuable form of therapy, which has been used in the successful treatment of rheumatism-related diseases.  New findings show that enzymes improve the blood flow and encourage circulation, accelerate the healing of inflammation-related and auto-immune diseases, such as rheumatism.  What makes it especially effective is the fact that the substance directly targets the damaged part of the body – the inflammation – and works on the disease-causing immune complexes themselves. The substances that are responsible for the inflammation are reduced to their normal levels and pain-causing substances are eliminated.  The blood flow is thereby improved, the swelling is reduced and the pressure on sensitive nerve cells disappears.  Joints, muscles and tendons are properly supplied with life-essential oxygen, nutrients and warmth, improving mobility and quality of life.
