This is an excerpt from the booklet Don't Dine Without Enzymes by Victor P. Kulvinskas, M.S., published by L.O.V.E. Foods Inc., 1994, page 5.

Let's play a little with the concept of enzymes by using our day-to-day experience of banking as a metaphor.

Your body's enzymes can be likened to cash reserves in your own life-force bank account. Each time you eat enzyme-less food, you tax your system by making a withdrawal from this enzyme bank.

Meal by meal you decrease your enzyme net worth, which can be equated with your life potential. Since at least half of all enzyme capital in the body is assigned to digesting foods, eating lifeless cooked foods in effect puts a continual hold on 50% of your budget. Your individual budget limit is determined by your genetic inheritance and affected by varying individual stress factors.

If your enzyme capital is frozen in this way, your ability to allocate funds to improve the quality of your life is then 'on hold' to the tune of 50% of your net worth. You'll then have limited enzyme resources with which to make much-needed home improvements (like cleansing and rebuilding organs and tissues) and protecting your enzyme life savings via a stronger immune system.

To complicate matters, your bills are coming due, and guess what?--your account is low in funds. You're desperate, so you borrow (take stimulants such as coffee to keep going) because your credit rating (overall health) is "bad" due to years and years of (mindless) withdrawals. You now wish that you had made more enzyme deposits in your life-force 'bank account' so that you wouldn't be finding yourself in arrears, experiencing energy deficiencies (among other calamities).

You get the point. Now that you know how health finances work, start investing in your future health by taking plant-based digestive enzymes today, before life hands you a bill that you can't afford to pay. It could be the best investment you will ever make, with a return of youthful energy and freedom from some of the health crises of middle age (or any age).
