Page 77 - The Miraculous Machine that Works for an Entire Lifetime: Enzyme

Adnan Oktar

Enzymes are constantly active inside the cells, breaking down,

synthesizing and regulating. The division of labor among them is truly
amazing. One enzyme uses phosphorus for bone building; another en-
ables blood to clot, while still another bonds iron to red blood cells.
Some enzymes carry out oxidation, combining other substances to-
gether with oxygen. Meanwhile, other enzymes eliminate carbon diox-
ide from the lungs; while still others are responsible for converting pro-
49
tein into fat, or sugar or carbohydrate into fat. The sperm cell has spe-
cial enzymes that permit it to pierce the egg. Enzymes in the immune
system take constant action against waste products and toxins in the
blood and tissues. 50

Still other enzymes carry out such chemical processes as breaking
down sugar into carbon dioxide and water in a matter of seconds, hun-
dreds or even thousands of times, non-stop throughout the entire
course of your life.
An average of 40 separate reactions take place inside the cell every
second, all by means of enzymes. But once they have accelerated reac-
tions and discharged their duties, enzymes leave without themselves
undergoing any changes and continue taking part in other reactions,
and thus maintain a constant state of employment. This is a most im-
portant economy measure, since there is no need for enzymes to be
manufactured constantly. They maintain their various stocks inside the
body and continue to carry out their duties.

Enzymes heal wounds and cure infections. They also clear away
the dead cells that are casualties in the immune system's war against
microbes. Once the war is over, destroyed microbes, antibody-microbe
compounds and toxins are all eliminated as the result of the scrupulous
activity of enzymes. If these wastes are not expelled from the body, they
will cause congestion of the arteries.
Enzymes also seem aware of situations in which precautions need
to be taken and know how to behave during emergencies. For example,
