Post Operative Scars and Lesions
Post Operative Scars and Lesions can be both internal and external and are the source of much discomfort. Medical intervention is not very successful as it may leave the situation even worse.
How can Serrapeptase Help?
Serrapeptase helps immensely as it slowly digests all of the dead tissue/scar tissue. By clearing away this problem tissue it enables the body’s own healing system to replace it with healthy tissue.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 x 80,000IU Serrapeptase with MSM and Trace Minerals, 3 times per day, 30 minutes before a meal and then gradually reduce to 1 twice a day as you get relief. Maintain this until the scarring reduces to a point where it is no longer a problem.
What things can I do to help scars and lesions?
1. Serrapeptase Enzymes
Take Serrapeptase 80,000IU with MSM and Trace Minerals as recommended
2. Rosa Mosqueta oil
For external scars, Rosa Mosqueta oil can be rubbed into the scars to help the process..
3. Hemp Oil or Fish Oil Complex
Treatment with Hemp Oil or Fish Oil Complex will help in the healing process.
4. Penzim
In some cases take Penzim the new wonder enzyme for skin
5. Health Plan
Use the Basic Health Plan™ which will ensure appropriate nutrients and actions are taken to help the healing process.
Will this program cure the internal pain and discomfort?
At this point we have not had a failure and everyone reports good results.
Post Operative Pain and Swelling
Following surgery and medical intervention, recovery can be impeded by inflammation and swelling (see scarring & lesions later). If this inflammation and swelling is not attended to, the recovery can be completely brought to a standstill.
How can Serrapeptase Help?
Serrapeptase helps immensely as it clears out all of the inflammation and dead tissue. By alleviating the inflammation, swelling and clearing away this problem tissue it relieves the symptoms and allows the healing system to rapidly repair the problem.
How many do I take?
Start with 2 x 80,000IU Serrapeptase, 3 times per day, 30 minutes before a meal and then gradually reduce to 1 twice a day as you get relief.
NB. Stop taking serrapeptase 24hrs before an operation and restart 24hrs afterwards to help the healing process.
What things can I do to help?
1. Serrapeptase Enzymes
Take Serrapeptase Enzymes as recommended
2. Electro-Acupressure
Treatment with HealthPoint, an electro-acupressure device has proved to be highly effective in treating postoperative swelling and has been used by physiotherapists with great success (see www.DoveHealth.com).
3. Elevation
Elevation in the case of swelling on the lower limbs will help
4. Rest & Exercise
Rest the area and exercise sensibly
5. Health Plan
Use the Basic Health Plan which will ensure appropriate nutrients and actions are taken to help the healing process.
When the cause of post-operative pain has not been diagnosed the treatment with Serrapeptase Enzymes can still go ahead. There are no side effects whatsoever by taking enzymes. It is of course important to obtain a diagnosis if pain persists.
The HealthPoint Electo-acupressure device can also be used and incidentally is probably the most effective treat for phantom limb pain. Even a person that was paralysed in the lower limbs would benefit.
Edema
Swelling can occur for a variety of reasons but here we are specifically referring to swelling or edema that is the result of inflammation. The swelling can be brought under control wit the cessation of the inflammation.

Sports Injuries
Many people of all ages are participating in sporting activities with the resultant increase in the number of associated injuries.
Common sports injuries include: bruising, partial or complete muscle tears, tendon injuries, tendon inflammation (tenosynovitis) and sprains.
Enzyme Use in Sports Injury Prevention & Recovery
Studies show that the use of enzymes can help to speed the healing of sports trauma, as well as helping to prevent such occurrences in the first place.
In an attempt to shorten the recovery time from common injuries the German National Hockey Team in the 90’s began taking Proteolytic Enzymes. They took capsules of Proteolytic Enzymes in addition to their usual treatments immediately after an injury or preventatively before games. 100 injuries that the athletes suffered were carefully documented and the healing process carefully and systematically monitored with regard to several criteria.
Both the physicians and the players of the German National Hockey Team observed that bruises and haematomas shrank in size faster, swelling was less severe and resolved faster, spontaneous pain, pain on mobility and pain on pressure were all lower than expected, and full mobility returned quicker. Moreover, they found that taking Proteolytic Enzymes preventatively worked better than taking it right after an injury.
The first use of Proteolytic Enzymes in athletics was by the German Olympic team competing in Los Angeles. The coaches and athletes found that those who were hampered by painful bruises and swelling returned back into action faster if they were taking Proteolytic Enzymes.
The apparent ability of Proteolytic Enzymes to reduce bruising, swelling and pain while improving mobility and healing was also suggested by two studies on hockey players and skiers. Those who used the product preventatively were able to return to their sport significantly faster after an injury than those who used conventional and potentially dangerous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID5) like aspirin or ibuprofen.
The Modern Age of Enzymes
The modern age of proteolytic enzyme therapy began with the work of Max Wolf, who is also credited with writing the first textbook on the young science of endocrinology. The work of Wolf and Benitez with various enzyme combinations, from the 1930s until the 1970s, was largely empiric in nature and lacked the rigorous controls common to modern-day research. Nevertheless, they observed positive effects of enzyme therapy in people with vascular diseases, lymph edema, and certain viral infections and in the healing of injuries and inflammations. This convinced them that a deficiency of proteolytic enzymes was a primary factor in premature aging.
It was found that Enzyme Therapy:

Proteolytic enzymes can also be helpful in cases of infection. They have proved particularly useful for treating urinary tract infections.
Clinical investigations carried out in Europe show that systemic proteolytic enzymes combined with antibiotic drugs like ampicillin, tetracyclines, and trimethoprim leads to a substantially higher antibiotic concentration at the site of the infection and a more rapid cure.
Pain Relief
Proteolytic enzymes produce a delayed analgesic effect that appears to arise from two separate mechanisms. First, the enzymes neutralize inflammatory mediators, such as the kinins and prostaglandins, which otherwise would directly stimulate nerve pain receptors. Second, by promoting the breakdown of plasma proteins and immune complexes and by stimulating phagocytosis, as described earlier, they reduce edema that subsequently leads to a relief of pain due to fluid pressure.
Numerous clinical studies in various types of pain have confirmed the analgesic abilities of proteolytic enzymes. In a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled crossover study in 25 people undergoing oral surgery, each subject underwent two different comparable procedures (left and right) on two different occasions. Without knowing which condition they were in at a given time, the participants received papain for one procedure and placebo for the other. Regression of edema and reduction in pain occurred significantly faster following papain treatment compared with placebo. Papain treatment was also associated with a shorter recovery time.
In a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study of episiotomy pain, 160 women received either bromelain or placebo following episiotomy. After 4 days of treatment, the researchers found striking reductions in pain, edema, and inflammation in the bromelain-treated women.
Clinical Effects of Proteolytic Enzymes
Scores of clinical studies of Proteolytic Enzymes (mostly various forms of Proteolytic Enzymes) have been conducted in a variety of conditions that are commonly associated with inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, surgery, fractures, sports injuries, and other injuries of the knees and ankles. Included among these are 2 double blind, placebo-controlled trials and three trials comparing enzyme therapy with conventional pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs. All but one of these 14 trials showed the enzymes to be superior to placebo or the comparative drug. The fourteenth was inconclusive due to methodological problems in the study design.
In a nutshell, enzymes are essential in sports, delivering:

Trauma Overview
Trauma can be anything from a sports injury to the after effects of a surgical operation where swelling is inhibiting the recovery. It is well known that inflammation and the consequent swelling is the block to healing and recovery. The sooner the inflammation and swelling is cleared the faster the bodies healing system can repair the problem.
