The medical industry continues to tell us that conventional medicine is the only way to treat all of our health issues. For too many people, however, these treatments do little more than spend money. But there are alternatives. For decades, the use of natural enzymes has been studied and evaluated. The Enzyme Cure is a comprehensive guide for everyone who wishes to learn more about treating health problems with enzymes.

The Enzyme Cure teaches you how to use plant enzymes to help reverse asthma, cancer, diabetes, herpes, kidney stones, menopausal symptoms, weight problems, and dozens of other common disorders. It not only details the enzymes that should be used for each condition, but also guides you in treating many underlying problems through diet and lifestyle changes. If you have ever wanted safe and effective medical alternatives, ever wished that doctors would provide new solutions instead of more prescriptions, The Enzyme Cure is for you. 

Lita Lee, PhD, has over thirty years of experience in chemical and medical research, and has been an enzyme therapist since 1987. An abiding interest in health and healing led her from the chemistry lab to the medical lab, and finally to clinical practice. Dr. Lee uses her strong scientific background to inform her work as an enzyme therapist. She has also undertaken the mission of informing the public on the dangers of toxins and radiation.

You Don’t Have to Take Drugs

America has created a multibillion dollar synthetic drug market. In 1997 alone, American women bought 33.1 million prescriptions of Premarin (a synthetic estrogen derived from the urine of pregnant horses), making it the nation’s best-selling drug. Yet, this estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) may actually be harming the health of the women who take it. Often, too much estrogen in relation to progesterone causes hormonal havoc and leads to symptoms from bloating and headache to major health problems such as gallbladder disease and cancer.

The pharmaceutical companies, however, simply come up with another drug to treat the symptoms the original drug produced. The second drug then creates its own side effects, and so on. In the end, we have come to accept what conventional medicine tells us: We need drugs to control our body functions. We even take drugs to destroy cholesterol, which is necessary for the production of essential anti-aging hormones. At the same time, these cholesterol-lowering drugs let loose toxic side effects, which can result in liver problems, depression, immune system dysfunction, and, once again, cancer.

There is, however, an escape from this destructive cycle of drug-taking. That escape is alternative medicine. Instead of treating symptoms with synthetic drugs, alternative medicine goes to the root causes and uses safe, noninvasive methods to address and reverse these causes.

One such natural alternative is enzyme therapy. In this book, Lita Lee, Ph.D., one of the nation’s leading enzyme therapists, shows you how to treat 36 health problems without using synthetic drugs. Here, you will read about desperate people who consulted Dr. Lee after going through countless drugs and a lot of money. They came to her not only with their original symptoms, but often with damage from the drugs they had taken, and she put them back on the path to good health.

Unlike conventional medical practitioners, Dr. Lee does not search for a single cause behind a health problem. Nor does she believe in giving vitamins and supplements to a patient without first addressing the digestive dysfunction which often accompanies chronic illness. For her, that would be like throwing money out the window. Instead, Dr. Lee looks at the whole person. Before she begins any treatment, she gets a complete picture of the individual’s symptoms, health history, diet, and possible digestive problems and hormonal imbalances. She then designs a treatment plan tailored to that individual, using a combination of enzyme therapy, dietary recommendations, and thyroid and other hormonal balancing, as appropriate.

This book gives you detailed accounts of over 60 people whose health problems were successfully reversed through these therapies. Dr. Lee’s advice is simple: You don’t have to take drugs to get well. By treating the underlying causes of your health condition—whether asthma or insomnia—you will improve your overall health, and leave the drugs behind. God bless.
