"The Enzyme Factor: How to Live Long and Never Be Sick"
ISBN 10: 1-57178-209-5  ISBN 13: 978-1-57178-209-0

I dedicate an entire page to this book because it is changing my life in such significant ways I feel the need to share this knowledge with everyone!

Dr. Hiromi Shinya is Chief of the Surgical Endoscopy Unit at Beth Israel Medical Center and Clinical Professor of Surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I saw him speak in May, 2009 in Anaheim when he spoke to the Enagic Convention.  He is an extremely charismatic person with a humor and wit along with extreme intelligence.

The first time I read this book I was shocked at how much of the accepted American diet that we learn is "good for us" is actually very destructive to our health!

The back of his book makes statements many in the medical community would challenge.

• Drinking Kangen water can help cure obesity.

• Antacids will make your stomach worse.

• Medication often makes you sicker.

• A fever can make you well.

• Medical specialization can lead to poor health care.

• Heredity does not dictate cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes.

• Calcium supplements and dairy products might actually cause osteoporosis.

• Your body is designed to heal itself.

•  Ignorance is making us sick.

 Reading Dr. Shinya's book again I try to piece out specifics to share with my family and friends, as I analyzed what he says and try to find a way to fit his diet into the real world.

BOOK JACKET COVER
The Enzyme Factor provides the key that will revolutionize the way we look at the human body, nutrition, medicine and health.

As we become more aware of our overmedicated culture and face serious breakdowns in our national medical system, Hiromi Shinya, MD, long a highly respected member of the medical establishment in the United States and Japan, reveals the key to the body's amazing ability to heal itself. That key is the enzyme factor.

Enzymes are those microscopic packets of energy that enable all our life functions.

When we deplete those enzymes, we get sick.

When they are replenished, we get well.

Dr. Shinya shows how to conserve your body's supply of "miracle" enzymes and trigger healing. He explains why none of the thousands of his cancer patients following his advice over the years has had a relapse of cancer. He shows how you can help your body cure ailments that have puzzled doctors for decades:

• cancer ·

• heart disease ·

• obesity ·

• fibroids ·

• constipation ·

• irritable bowel syndrome ·

• Crohn's disease ·

• sleep apnea ·

• autoimmune diseases

The Enzyme Factor will show you how to support your body's enzymes and enjoy glowing, vital health into a good old age.
