how digestive enzymes reduce #inflammation

10.30: news.health/diet/enzymes/digestive enzymes reduce inflammation?:
12.31:summary:
. several doctors say enzymes reduce inflammation;
but they are talking about different types?
Dr.Mercola says your best source is raw food
and calorie restriction;
but Dr.Bob Martin promotes a supplement
that contains various proteolytic enzymes
and other digestive enzymes.
. the idea I got from researching
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's
Guts and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) diet:
was that certain infections (candida?)
can inhibit production of digestive enzymes
so that more food is not absorbed by you
and is thus available to the infection;
this infection can be a source of inflammation
when your immune system attacks it;
so, the cure is to replace the enzymes
and go on a diet that inhibits infections
(no sugar, and low glycemic).
. if the infection is removed inflammation is reduced,
and, digestive enzyme supplements can be discontinued.
. if you tend to eat out of a blender,
keep in mind that the act of chewing
is a major source of some digestive enzymes.
Dr.Mercola 2011`enzymes reduce inflammation:
. the main source of inflammation is the
immune system reacting against germs,
and proteolytic enzymes in the blood degrade germs;
also, fibrin "can prolong inflammation"
and can be cleared by proteolytic enzymes.

Dr.Mercola 2011`ways to get enzymes:
enzyme supplement?
"NO manufactured product can duplicate
the positive effects of a nutrient-rich diet",
with "at least 75 percent of your foods raw";
and do a lot of chewing during each meal.
. also, calorie restriction helps
because it reduces your need for digestive enzymes.

Dr.Bob Martin (radio):
. "Healthful-Zymes" were recommended
along with avoiding certain foods
as a way of reducing inflammation.
