Could Systemic Enzyme Therapy Help With Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Even though rheumatoid arthritis is a disease whose exact cause is unknown, some scientific publications have confirmed that they believe the CAUSE is closely associated with elevated levels of immune complexes circulating in the blood that eventually bound in the joint tissue. Could Systemic Enzyme Therapy be an integrative or complimentary therapy to the immunosuppressive drugs, NSAIDS (anti-inflammatory agents) or the new Biologic drugs?

And if only satisfactory results are being attained by using conventional rheumatoid arthritis drugs... and there is a real concern about all the associated side effects... why haven't we heard about the use of systemic enzyme therapy for the last 60 years in Europe with no apparent side effects?

If over 37 million Americans are affected with some form of arthritis, it's about time there is some information available about effective integrative and complimentary therapies.  What if there is a way to strengthen your immune function and immune system defenses to slow down and eliminate circulating immune complexes (CIC's) without all the complicated side effects of conventional medicine and still have the benefit of reduced inflammation and slow down and possibly halt joint deterioration?

Scientific publications and current scientific investigations report that systemic enzyme therapy can make a major impact in 5 key areas.

1. Fighting Inflammation to help control Arthritis

2. Breaking Down Fibrosis - Breakdown of Fibrin Mantle

3. Strengthening the Immune System - Eliminating the CIC's

4. Lowering the Viral Load

5. Cleaning the Blood and Removing Toxins

If you are actively suffering from the pain of arthritis... here's what the scientific literature reports regarding enzymes.   They have anti-inflammatory benefits; they are virtually free from side effects and are being used integratively and therapeutically for rheumatologic disorders, including such external signs as morning stiffness, pain, joint swelling, loss of grip strength and the ability to bend the joints.

Also this research reports that systemic enzyme therapy can affect an additional and specific mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis, whose importance is often not properly recognized, and which  some scientist believe is associated with the cause of rheumatic disease. This concerns a fibrin mantle which develops around the circulating immune complex... a protein coating.

In fact this could be one of the most important discoveries... a fibrin mantle develops around the circulating immune complexes as a natural attempt of the body to isolate the problem area... but unfortunately serves to prevent the complexes from being seen and broken down by normal immune defenses. This protein coating cloaks the circulating immune complexes from the normal immune function.

Researchers report that proteolytic enzymes can degrade this fibrin mantle built around the tissue-bound immune complexes and thus remove this cloak of invisibility. This then allows natural body defenses to function normally. By allowing the enzymes to eat away at the protein coating, circulating immune complexes are eliminated... stopping the mechanism of inflammation and reducing further tissue deterioration.

In summary, proteolytic enzymes used in systemic enzyme therapy will help to break down the fibrin mantle around the CIC's allowing the immune system to naturally destroy the excessive CIC's that could be the cause of  rheumatoid arthritis.
