Since many are still battling the flu outbreak, I though this information was helpful. Jackie
FLU: Proteolytic Enzymes Can Work Against Viral Infections Such as the Current Influenza Type A Virus Which is Causing the Killer Flu Outbreak in the United States
(PRWE
December 11 2003--The Baseline of Health Newsletter, one of the world's foremost alternative health reports, released findings today that Proteolytic Enzymes, (distinguished from digestive enzymes) can work against viral infections such as that being experienced in the current outbreak of flu in the United States.
The report states: "Supplemental protease raises the proteolytic potential in the blood, which works as protection against viral infection through a process called lysis (or inactivation) of the viral protein coat."
"Viruses in their extra-cellular phase do not have any protection against lysis and therefore can be dissolved or inactivated by proteases."
Jon Barron, one of the leaders in alternative health and nutrition reports that "Successful inhibition of infection has been demonstrated in many different viruses including six different influenza type A viruses, polio and other enteroviruses, varicella viruses (herpes zoster), vaccinia viruses (hepatitis A), and others."
The report also states that "In addition to supplemental proteolytic enzymes, it is worth taking prophylactic doses of garlic extract and tincture of echinacea.

Proteolytic enzymes or proteases - break down or digest protein into smaller units. These enzymes include the pancreatic proteases chymotrypsin and trypsin, bromelain (pineapple enzyme) papain (papaya enzyme), fungal proteases and Serratia peptidase (the silk worm enzyme.)
Other pancreatic enzymes include pancreatin, lipases and amylases
Proteolytic enzymes have a long history in cancer treatment and are used to reduce inflammation. Controversy over whether proteolytic enzymes are actually absorbed has been resolved with studies confirming they are absorbed intact and appear to be actively transported across the gut wall.
Since stomach acid can destroy pancreatic enzymes, most pancreatin products are enteric coated meaning the pills have a coating to prevent them from being broken down in stomach acid and the pill passes to the small intestine where it breaks down there due to pH change.
They are safe for most people but contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation as well as for people with an allergy to pork (pancreatin), pineapple or papaya.
In addition to helping kill flu viruses, two pioneers in the therapeutic use of proteolytic enzymes (Drs. Max Wolf and Karl Ransberger) used a mixture of proteolytic enzymes with Vitamin E in treating senior citizens and observed an increase in clot-lysing activity in the blood and a reduction of serum lipids including cholesterols to a normal range.
To find various brands of proteolytic enzymes, type in enteric coated proteolytic enzymes on the google search for a selection and information.
