Consider the Enzyme

Live Foods are live because of the enzymatic action that has not been cooked out of it.

I recently came across this wonderful little story in a book entitled Enzyme Nutrition by Edward Howell, long considered the pioneer in the field of human enzymes. This little story kicks the door open for us to start the discussion on live and raw food nutrition.

“An African watering hole supplies drinking water to hundreds of animals, and although it is dirty and carries dozens of questionable and possibly carcinogenic chemicals, none of the animals become ill from it. They are protected by their superb body chemistry and maintained by a raw diet from which no enzyme nutrients have been removed”. Howell continues, “What is the reason for this immunity, and why are they free from degenerative diseases? All of these creatures get everything in the food that grew in it, including the food enzymes”, (p. 137).
