Green Barley: Enzyme-Rich product

In biology, one of the factors that defines a living thing from an inanimate object is the organism's ability to carry out chemical reactions that are crucial for its survival. Even one-celled organisms are capable of hundreds of chemical reactions within their cell walls. Imagine the infinite amount of reactions that a large organism such as a human carries out. None of these reactions are possible without enzymes.

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants. Enzymes consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. Enzymes can either launch a reaction or speed it up. The chemicals that are transformed with the help of enzymes are called substrates. In the absence of enzymes, these chemicals are calledreactants.

To illustrate the speed and efficiency of enzymes, substrates can be transformed to usable products at the rate of ten times per second. Considering that there are an estimated 75,000 different enzymes in the human body, these chemical reactions are performed at an amazing rate. On the other hand, in the absence of enzymes, reactants may take hundreds of years to convert into a usable product, if they are able to do so at all. This is why enzymes are crucial in the sustenance of life on earth.

Generally, enzymes work on substrates in one of three ways: substrate orientation, physical stress, and changes in substrate reactivity. Substrate orientation occurs when an enzyme causes substrate molecules to align with each other and form a bond. When an enzyme uses physical stress on a substrate, it in effect grips the substrate and forces the molecule to break apart. An enzyme that causes changes in substrate reactivity alters the placement of the molecule’s electrons, which influences the molecule’s ability to bond with other molecules.

Enzymes have active sites where they come into contact with particular substrates. The catalytic properties of enzymes are a cyclic process. Once a substrate has come into contact with the active site of an enzyme, it is modified by the enzyme to form the end product. Once the process is complete, the enzyme releases the product and is ready to begin the process with new substrates. Enzymes are never wasted and always recycled.

The absence of enzymes is responsible for many diseases. In humans, a tragic disease calledphenylketonuria (PKU), which causes severe mental retardation and even death in infants, is the result of the absence of one type of enzyme. Tay-Sachs disease is a similarly tragic result of an enzyme deficiency. It causes retardation, paralysis, and often death in early childhood when left untreated.

Our ability to alter enzymes by inhibiting their functioning abilities has resulted in hundreds of life saving drugs. One example is penicillin, a well-known antibiotic that can cure syphilis, pneumonia, and other illnesses. Penicillin works by bonding to the active sites of the disease-causing bacteria’s enzymes, ultimately destroying the bacteria’s ability to survive and reproduce.

Why Barley is good for the following illnesses?

What is Superoxide Dismutase

Superoxide dismutase is a protein that neutralizes free radicals. This protein is referred to as an enzyme, or as a protein that initiates or regulates a specific chemical or signaling action. Superoxide dismutase specifically neutralizes the superoxide radical, which is generated during normal aerobic processes.

There are two different forms of this enzyme. These two enzymes work in different compartments of the cell, and they utilize different positively charged metal ions to neutralize the negatively charged superoxide radical. A form of the superoxide dismutase enzyme that uses either copper or zinc is located in the cell cytoplasm, or in the basic body of the cell, and protects the cytoplasmic structures from free radical damage.

The mitochondria refer to cellular organelles where the majority of oxygen metabolism, or respiration, takes place. Many oxygen radicals are therefore generated in this compartment. The second form of superoxide dismutase is located in the mitochondria, and uses manganese for free radical neutralization.

A disease associated with low levels or gene mutation of this enzyme, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), demonstrates the importance of superoxide dismutase in the body. It is thought that the lack of this functional enzyme leaves the nerve cells vulnerable to free radical attack, eventually leading to the symptoms of ALS. Doctors hope that giving ALS patients high levels of this enzyme, or that supplementing with other antioxidant substances, may help slow the progression of ALS.

Superoxide dismutase may also be potentially helpful in the treatment of other disorders associated with free radical damage. This includes inflammatory diseases in general, and more specifically colitis or other inflammatory bowel disorders. This enzyme may also help with conditions resulting from long-term exposure to toxins like cigarette smoke.

This enzyme can be found naturally in wheat grass or BARLEY GRASS, or in vegetables like broccoli and brussels sprouts. In addition, the body can synthesize superoxide dismutase on its own and adequate amounts of this enzyme can be produced if a person eats a relatively healthy diet. For people with conditions that may be helped by extra levels of this enzyme, supplementation may be recommended.

These supplements are somewhat controversial. This is because the enzyme is totally inactivated by stomach acid and therefore tablets need a special coating to survive the stomach acid and to be properly absorbed. Some medical professionals believe that oral supplementation is impossible, whereas others argue that specially coated capsules, or enteric capsules, are fully absorbable. This enzyme may also be injected.

Free radical damage to the skin is considered one of the major factors that causes wrinkles, and superoxide dismutase is included in many anti-aging cosmetic creams. These creams are also thought to heal burns and decrease hyper-pigmentation, or age spots. Due to its antioxidant ability, some people believe it may also help to prevent damage to skin that might eventually become cancerous.

Fact!!! Our Green Barley product is rich in Superoxide Dismutase!!!

What is Sodium Nitrate and its effect to our body?

What is Sodium Nitrate?

Sodium nitrate is used as a preservative in processed meats (hotdogs, sausages, bolognia, ham, tocino etc.), helping to delay spoilage and preserve color. According to animal science researchers at the University of Minnesota Extension, the use of sodium nitrate evolved from the centuries-old practice of using salt to preserve meat, inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

At the turn of the 20th century, it was discovered that a particular type of salt containing high levels of nitrate preserved meat's pink color. Somewhat later it was discovered that nitrate was changed to nitrite by bacteria during processing, and that it was in fact nitrite that was responsible for the pink color, so the meat industry began using sodium nitrite directly. Whether added to meat as nitrate or nitrite, the end product is the same.

When eating processed foods, it is nearly impossible to avoid chemicals added for flavor and color, and as preservatives. Sodium nitrate is an additive found in most deli meats, breakfast meats and hams. While consumed in large quantities daily by a trusting public, sodium nitrate has been linked to serious health problems.

Sodium Nitrate and Heart Disease

More recently, sodium nitrate and nitrite have been linked to numerous modern-day illnesses, including heart disease. According to Mayo Clinic's Martha George, M.D., sodium nitrate is thought to damage blood vessels, making arteries more likely to narrow and harden. Dr. George also points out that nitrates appear to influence the way your body metabolizes sugar, predisposing you to diabetes. In light of those dangers along with the relatively high levels of fat and sodium, Dr. George recommends you steer clear of processed meats, instead choosing fresh, lean meat. Even then, Dr. George recommends limiting your portions to 6 oz. daily, about the size of two decks of playing cards.

Sodium Nitrate and Cancer

In addition to heart disease, sodium nitrate has been linked to other menacing health conditions. A 2005 study of 200,000 men and women conducted over seven years at the University of Hawaii examined the relationship between processed meat consumption and cancer. The study revealed that people who consumed processed meat were 67 percent more likely to get pancreatic cancer than those who ate little or no meat products at all. While the research did not pinpoint sodium nitrate as the culprit, nutrition author Mike Adams notes that the preservative is converted in your body to nitrosamines, which are toxic to humans and promote the growth of cancer cells.

Healing Crisis

 AKA: The Cleansing Reaction, The Detox Reaction, and The Herxheimer Reaction

What is it? 

Also known as the "Herxheimer Reaction", this reaction occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one's bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe. You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances.

Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately -- or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox. Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one's condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best. Most people feel somewhat ill during the first few days of a cleanse because it is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. In any case, a cleansing & purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. 

Cause: 

The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration.

The end result:

Old tissues are replaced with new. When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large scale die-off of bacteria, a significant amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body. The more bacteria present, and the stronger their endotoxins, the stronger the cleansing reaction. When any treatment or detox causes the organs of the body (particularly the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and poison residues) to release their stored poisons and toxins, a cleansing reaction may occur. Any program, such as fasting, which causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which are a storehouse for toxins), can cause a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream. 

Symptoms: 

The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during the crisis. There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis, the most common are: 

Increased joint or muscle pain

Diarrhea 

 

Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, restlessness 

Cramps 

Headache (believed to be caused by buildup of toxins in the blood) 

Aches, Pains 

Arthritic flair up 

Insomnia 

Nausea 

Sinus congestion 

Fever (usually low grade) and/or chills 

Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges 

Drop in blood pressure 

Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes. 

Cold or flu-like symptoms 

Strong emotions: anger, despair, sadness, fear, etc. 

Suppressed memories arise 

Anxiety 

Mood swings 

New phobias develop

Easing Your Way Through the Healing Crisis: 

Drink plenty of fresh water (especially water), juices, and herbal teas to flush the body of toxins. Some professionals recommend distilled water as the best. Drink from 2 to 4 quarts(liters) per day. This will help flush the toxins out of your system and speed along the detoxification.

• If you are feeling fatigued, or sleepy, your body is talking to you, and telling you to rest. Be kind to yourself, and get the rest that you need.

• Symptoms frequently disappear immediately after a good bowel movement, use an enema to provide relief. 

• For other symptoms, meditation, EFT, acupuncture or a good massage might be helpful to speed up the healing process, and reduce the discomfort.

• And, on rare occasions, a reduction of the dosage or temporary cessation may be required.

Important: Always ensure your health by having a thorough medical check up: don't assume that if you have any of the above symptoms that you are in a healing crisis: you may not be in a healing process, you may have a medical health problem.
