They may come from the Amino Acid complexes which are formed when Plants convert the Nitrogen into Complete Complexed Proteins and then when each animal and mankind eats these Plants in the cycle of Life, these Amino Acid Proteins are passed along and converted to the Digestive Proteins ?
Wrong. Amino acid complexes are not formed, and neither are complete complexed proteins. Frankly, digestion destroys most of the plant protein, we have to. If we think about this it will be clear that otherwise we could not get usable protein from plants. We would die of malnutrition, never being able to digest plant protein.
Digestive enzymes are produced by the body in the same manner it produces other proteins. We get a minor amounts of enzymes from some foods, like papain, or bromolain in certain foods.
There is no such thing as “Amino Acid Protein”; it is redundant. If it is a protein, then by definition it must be composed of amino acids. Simply put, a protein is nothing more than a chain of amino acids.
It may be called the Carbon/Nitrogen cycle of Life !
Wrong. The Nitrogen Cycle is this, and the Carbon Cycle is this.
But, if we have too much Nitrogen and not enough Carbon and not enough Oxygen, then we may get Putrification of the process !
Putrification will occur regardless. It is essential, or else we would be knee deep in the carcasses of other animals, plant waste and microbial refuse.
In this case we may Innoculate our Digestive system with some of the needed starter Enzymes to get our Digestive system working properly
Sheer idiocy. As if enzymes were like bacteria, multiplying all by itself. You cannot “seed” your digestive system with enzymes, and expect to grow more from these. There are some diseases in which the patient suffers from certain deficiencies, they usually take enterically coated digestive enzymes for these conditions or avoid the corresponding foods.
Secondly the amount of enzymes found in some of these foods is very low (think micrograms and nanograms), as enzymes are usually synthesized during specific phases. Enzymes are not just hanging around waiting to be used; they are manufactured, used and often reabsorbed.
"IF" we presently are having problems associated with Poor Digestion problems, we may find some good probiotics to jump start our Digestion system !
Funny he should write this as probiotics are usually found in foods that are acidic, because the acidity prevents spoilage. Probiotics have more to do with intestinal flora, than “enzymes”; as usual ML has no idea what he is writing.
Yes, GRZ, I am sure of what I wrote.
I imagine you are somewhat familiar with bioreactors and how proteins are then isolated from this mixture of media, cells, detritus, metabolic waste, and lipids, phospholipids and all the other proteins.
When prebiotics work; which they only seem to in a minority of people, they do so by acting as part of intestinal flora – that is, just breaking down food by digesting it. This is vastly different than the activity of enzymes. Enzymes work directly on a molecule. So I repeat: "Probiotics have more to do with intestinal flora, than “enzymes”; as usual ML has no idea what he is writing."
The reason that probiotics seem to work in a few people is likely due to a compromised profile, or a reduced population – there is no general improvement as you write. I am of the opinion (only an opinion) that there is nothing wrong with taking probiotics, but the common (ie. healthy person) user is will be lucky to see a minor effect and most will see none. I have never seen any effect in me, and I due to my exercising put my body under more stress than necessary – neither have the 4 young people whom I informally coach and once put them on the stuff for 12 weeks. I believe this coincides with the previous experience I related regarding no observable effect of bromolain/papain supplement in my young dogs and a minor (but observable) one with the ones near the end of their life.
And it is amusing to me that ML is, since the probiotics come in mainly acidic foods. And it is the very acidity which confers the beneficial aspect in those it helps. It is the acidity which prevents other undesirable bacteria from taking hold and setting up residence…. Hey just like in our acidic skin mantle.
And as far as the Carbon and Nitrogen cycles; once again you play the benign creative interpreter to ML’s irrational ideas. If you understand both N/C cycles and then looked as his statements with a critical eye, it would be obvious that he is not saying anything that is remotely true. His idea of the C and N cycle has nothing to do with what you (I assume) and I understand it to be.
Though really, this was pretty straightforward to me… His piece on watermelons and urination made me laugh outright, though on the serious side it is potentially dangerous.
