Product Description
Product Description
I adhere to the philosophy that both the living organism and its enzymes are inhabited by a vital principle or life energy which is separate and distinct from the caloric energy liberated from food by enzyme action. Read the first page

Having a life worthy of living.,
By
This review is from: Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept (Paperback)
An interesting subject although the research is a bit outdated. I read too the comments of its critics which were equally as outmoded. Their criticism failed to invalidate the generality of Howell's thesis. Interestingly, Dr Roy Walford of the "120 year diet plan" fame passed away lately in his mid 70s while seemingly Dr Howell was still jogging at this age. Apparently his wife too looked 20 years younger than her age. An interesting point and nothing more, but, I'm impressed. Three days ago I started practicing Dr Howell's recommendations and while it is still early days I have already noticed a distinct increase in energy, libido, and well-being, and a decrease in BP. During the course of this morning my feeling of well-being was so high that it was probably my early 20s when I last experienced such a sensation. It's now almost 6pm and I continue to feel good. I too am in my mid 70s and maintain good health without aches or pains but, then, I take saturated fat in abundance with my meals! I enjoyed this book and would see it as being complimentary to Sally Fallon's book, "Nourishing Traditions". Unlike Walford, my interest is not in extending life, but, rather, having a life worthy of living which is probably more in alignment with the views of Dr Howell.

I switched!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept (Paperback)
This book lays out so well the role that "enzymes" play in our health, that by the time I finished reading it, I switched to a "live-foods" diet. This book is a must read for anyone who's interested in improving their health.

The Real Deal,
By D. Read "Maximumdread" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept (Paperback)
This book turned my conceptions of food, nutrition, disease, disorder, and digestion up-side-down. If you have doubts about *why* a raw food diet is a good idea, and why in many cases it can save a person's life, then this is the book to start with. "Enzyme Nutrition" is pretty much a scientific book. It is not a manifesto, or a how-to book, but rather a presentation of one man's life-long research into the role that food enzymes play in human digestion. Don't let that scare you away, however, because the language is very easy to understand, and the book is easy to read. In fact, this book is a condensation of the author's unpublished 700 page book, a book that supposedly took him 20 years to write.It is really a shame that this book is not a bestseller, and that Dr. Howell's theories are not more widely known. The ideas in it are, pardon the possible hyperbole, revolutionary. Many of the ideas that you read in other raw food and enzyme books are based on Howell's research (although, to be accurate, not all raw food advocates are advocates of Howell's ideas). I can not recommend this book highly enough. I hope I live to see Howell's theories accepted by the mainstream "medical establishment," just as the discoveries of vitamins and minerals (which are only two-thirds of the equation) have. 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful:

The Missing Link in Nutrition,
By Dr. Jeffrey T. Maehr, D.C., - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept (Paperback)
For anyone interested in health and disease, THIS book will open your eyes to a vital, yet overlooked nutritional element that is the single largest deficiency in the world. Startling examples of how traditional diets are lacking in enzymes, and the relationship to degenerative disease processes.I utilize this book in my professional nutrition work and patients are able to read and understand the plain language used to describe the facts. This helps them become personaly involved in improving their health! 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful:

The Facts Behind a Proper Natural Diet,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enzyme Nutrition: The Food Enzyme Concept (Paperback)
Dr. Howell's 'Enzyme Nutrition' is an excellent look at why it is desirable to include as many fresh, natural, and raw foods into ones diet as possible. He backs up his findings on the nutritive, health-giving, and cancer-fighting elements of living foods with years of research, statistics, and even labarotary animal cases. While the use of labaratory animals for research is ethically problematic- the statistics Dr. Howell has gained from them are a great boon to this book, his position, and the health enthusiast community. For all the cynics who think a raw food diet is a silly fad, they might have difficulty arguing the facts present in this book. For those who follow a diet such as the Hippocrates Diet, or who realize the value of adding fresh and uncooked or minimally-cooked foods to their meals, this book will be a valuable source of information as to precisely why, in a scientific sense, your endeavor to eat living foods is not only justifiable, but very wise. There's more to life than the foods you eat, but there's not much more to death than the foods you eat. Most people dig their own graves with their knives and forks. By understanding both the harmful and healthful qualities of various foods and how they are prepared, one can greatly increase once chances of survival through the 21st century. Of course, first one has to avoid getting hit by a car or flying airplanes. |
