Now, this information is very, very important if you are on medications.

If you know of someone on medications, send them this video because I'm going to show you how to greatly reduce the side effects from medication.

Now, one primary reason why a lot of people have side effects from medication has to do with something in your liver.

It's a certain group of enzymes that help break down certain medications and toxins as well.

And that enzyme system is not working. Not only are you going to experience more side effects, but the medication could also not be as effective as it should.

Now, of course, you already know this, but I'm all about giving people alternatives to medication, but there's certain people that need to be on medication.

And it's a really good thing to minimize the side effects. And then at the end of this, I'm going to give you a download that you can give your medical doctor to help them look at a potential DNA problem that you might have that can greatly alter the type of medications that you're given.

And so I will talk about that at the end, but let's first just talk about what is an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the chemical reaction in your body millions of times faster than if that enzyme wasn't working.

The great majority of medications work by inhibiting certain enzymes, for example, like an ACE inhibitor, which inhibits these ACE enzyme that affects the blood pressure, like aspirin inhibits something called Cox enzymes that relate to inflammation.

So enzymes speed up the reaction, but what's really interesting about enzymes is they don't seem to use their own energy in this work that they do.

In other words, they can keep being recycled and they seem to be very magical in that way.

The other thing about enzymes in order to make them work is they need helper molecules. They need it's called co factors or co enzymes.

And those are basically vitamins and minerals. And so now you know very simply why we need vitamins and minerals to allow these enzymes to work in our body.

And we have millions and millions and millions of different enzymes in the body that create all sorts of different effects.

But the primary enzymes I'm going to talk about today are called the phase one phase two enzymes. Now these are families of enzymes. They're groups of enzymes. They're not just one enzyme.

And the phase one enzymes in your liver are called cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Again, there's a family of them. And if there's any problem with this enzyme, you're not going to get the breakdown.

Or at least the start the breakdown of this drug or toxin or whatever's trying to be broken down. And then when you get into phase two, which works with phase one, you have other enzyme groups called glutathione enzymes.

So you have both of these working together to take a poison. I'm sorry, medication and dismantle it and then turn it into a harmless water soluble particle that can be eliminated through the urine or the sweat or the bowel.

And this doesn't just have to do with medication breakdown. This has a lot to do with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, benzene from petroleum products that you're exposed to pro carcinogens, which are cancer causing things smoke the chemicals in smoke alcohol estrogen.

So this enzyme system is very, very important, not necessarily just to reduce the side effects, but also the effectiveness of the drug, but also to prevent cancer because a lot of these medications or toxins that you're exposed to.

If they're not fully broken down, they can build up in the body and accumulate and create toxicity and increase your risk for cancer and other problems.
