Dan Kaur Weamer, technical director for Enzymes, Inc., will explain the benefits of raw- and fresh-food enzymes on radio, Thursday, April 23.

Tune in to KKFI-FM (90.1) in the Kansas City area from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to hear the interview, which will feature a discussion on Plant A Row for the Hungry, a fresh-food donation program.

Weamer plans to talk about the importance of enzymes in a daily diet. Digestive enzymes, whether from food or supplements, aid digestion, help control inflammation and support tissue maintenance.

Plant A Row is a program of Harvesters, a community food network based in Kansas City. Harvesters encourages local gardeners to plant, and donate, a row of fresh produce.

Unlike typical donations to food banks, which usually include canned and processed foods, fresh produce contains natural food enzymes.

Whether a seasoned professional or a recent graduate, the most successful health care practitioner is often the one who chooses cost-effective, time-conscious marketing methods.

As insurance costs skyrocket and consumers grow evermore leery of traditional medicine, complementary and alternative practitioners have a unique opportunity to earn the attention and trust of prospective clients.

Enzymes, Inc., invites health care practitioners to download a free white paper intended for the practitioner who is eager to learn, as well as implement, marketing techniques designed to increase income and attract new patients.

The latest newsletter from NEEDS, a health and wellness mail-order company, features NutriSolâ„¢ Joint Care Plusâ„¢ in the article “Eggshell Membrane, Anti-Inflammatory Enzyme as Joint-Care Support.”

The benefits of a professional systemic enzyme product from Enzymes, Inc. were touted in a July column from Naturopathic Doctor News & Review.

In her column, dubbed “Using Systemic Enzyme Therapy,” Tina Marcantel, a registered nurse and naturopathic doctor, specifically mentioned a clinical trial that involved Advanced Formula™ InflammEnz.™ She notes the proven effectiveness of InflammEnz™ in achieving accelerated healing time.

Systemic enzyme therapy can help control pain, promote healing and boost the immune system. Marcantel’s column discusses how proteolytic enzymes can be a safe alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, which have been linked to liver, kidney, stomach and intestinal problems.

Other benefits of systemic enzyme therapy include modulation of the immune system through increased binding of cytokines, as well as maintenance of blood circulation. Proteolytic enzymes can also help with the inflammation, swelling and pain of muscle-related injuries.

In the 2004 study on Advanced Formulaâ„¢ InflammEnz,â„¢ researchers found the supplement sped skin-wound healing time in 77% of healthy subjects. In fact, less redness in the wounds and a nearly 20 percent acceleration in healing time demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of InflammEnz.â„¢

Marcantel also addresses the benefits of the bromelain enzyme, which is a protease sourced from pineapple. Bromelain helps prevent swelling, promotes muscle relaxation and hinders platelet aggregation.

In addition to the clinically proven proteolytic enzyme blend pHysioProtease,â„¢ Advanced Formulaâ„¢ InflammEnzâ„¢ contains bromelain, vitamin C, calcium and potassium.

Dear Health Care Practitioner,

It was recently brought to our attention by one of our customers that Dr. Ellen Cutler, owner of BioSET, Inc., has taken steps in the past few months to discontinue the relationship between BioSET, Inc. and Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. Unfortunately, Dr. Cutler chose not to discuss her intentions with Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. directly, therefore preventing the two sides from negotiating an amicable separation. Instead, Dr. Cutler has secretly attempted to duplicate formulations in the BioSET product line in order to circumvent Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. Moreover, Dr. Cutler has placed BioSET customers in an awkward position by contacting them regarding her plans.

Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. has no choice but to end its relationship with Dr. Ellen Cutler and the BioSET organization effective immediately.

The BioSET, Inc./Enzymes, Inc. relationship began nine years ago when Dr. Cutler approached Enzymes, Inc. in search of a product line that was more compatible with the BioSET System than the one she was endorsing at the time. The technical staff of Enzymes, Inc., consisting of biochemists and a medical doctor with more than 30 years of combined experience formulating enzyme-based products for health care practitioners, accepted the challenge of developing a line of high-quality, innovative products to meet the needs of Dr. Cutler and BioSET. Dr. Cutler was so pleased with the therapeutic effectiveness of these products that she permitted Enzymes, Inc. to promote them to health care practitioners using the BioSET trademark and her endorsement for the past nine years.

During those years, Enzymes, Inc. has remained loyal to and supportive of Dr. Cutler through her many professional and personal trials and tribulations. For the sake of its customers, Enzymes, Inc. has made every effort to help bring stability to the ever-changing BioSET organization. Two years ago, when the BioSET organization was floundering, Dr. Cutler formed a partnership with natural health care industry veteran Frank Guzzo to manage all activities for BioSET, Inc. Encouraged by this positive move, Enzymes, Inc. agreed to work with Frank Guzzo to create a new entity, Empire Health, LLC, which would facilitate the marketing and distribution of the BioSET product line, as well as coordinate BioSET seminars.

The goal of Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. has always been to provide the best possible products to health care practitioners combined with exceptional technical support and reasonable pricing. It has become clear during the past year that Dr. Cutler’s business methods and motivations differ dramatically from those of Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. The inability of Empire Health, LLC to reach a contractual agreement with Dr. Cutler despite its good faith efforts, coupled with Dr. Cutler’s arbitrary termination of Frank Guzzo’s partnership in BioSET, Inc., has led to the realization that any type of continued relationship with Dr. Ellen Cutler and BioSET, Inc. is impossible.

Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. apologizes for any inconvenience this separation from BioSET, Inc. may cause you or your practice. We have immediately begun phasing out product bottles bearing the BioSET logo but will continue to sell the same formulations with the same clinically-proven proprietary ingredients such as PhysioProteaseâ„¢ and Protease GL.â„¢ To avoid patient confusion, the label design will remain the same with only the BioSET logo being replaced. In addition, the separation from BioSET allows us to offer more favorable pricing on all products, as well as add new, innovative products to the line. Private label opportunities are also now possible.

Of course, you will continue to receive the same excellent customer service and technical support you have come to expect from Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. To benefit your practice further, we will be sponsoring educational opportunities on a wide range of topics, including enzyme therapy and bioenergetic medicine, in convenient formats at reasonable prices.

Thank you for your patience during this transition. We look forward to continuing to help you build your practice. Please don’t hesitate to contact either one of us if you have questions or concerns regarding this matter.

Yours for Better Health,

Frank Guzzo
