Pharmacist Ben Fuchs: Eczema – Finding The Cause

Pharmacist Ben Fuchs explains that "a topical-dermatitis" is a scientific term for Eczema, meaning a non-topical condition. In other words, it is not a condition that originates on the surface of the skin. Yet, most treatments for Eczema are topical, like steroid creams.

Ben Fuchs: Enzymes “match makers” in the digestive system

The liver, pancreas, stomach and even saliva produce hundreds of different Enzymes, which each play a unique role in the transformation of our food into the nutrients we need to live and thrive. Ben explains the vital role of digestive Enzymes as "match makers" in the digestive system and recommends a variety of easy to adopt strategies to enhance our digestive process. Chewing your food for a longer time is one very simple, easy and free strategy to increase the contact between the enzymes in saliva and your food. Stomach problems, gas or bloating may be signs of enzyme deficiency. In Europe and Japan, digestive enzymes are considered medicine. Taking an Enzyme supplement can not only help with digestion, but also allow your body to retain more metabolic enzymes for overall health. Sprouts are an excellent source of enzymes and promote good digestion. Vegetables in general are more enzyme rich. One of the best foods is sour kraut, which has a variety of digestive benefits. Digestive enzyme supplements can also benefit inflammation issues and help with pre & post surgery healing. To leverage the maximum healing benefits from digestive enzyme supplements, they should be taken on an empty stomach.
