4.0 out of 5 stars STEADY FLOW OF SIMPLIFIED ENZYMOLOGY, April 6, 2003

By 

reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enzymes: The Key to Health : The Fundamentals (Paperback)

The authors of this book knew quite well that 192 pages are not that many. So, they went into the fundamental analysis of enzymes without wasting time.
This handbook will suit anybody whose preoccupations include offering or receiving nutritional advice. It clearly outlined and defined the basic principles of enzymology: focussing on both their nature and their clinical applications. Without delving into the complex kinetics aasociated with catalytic reactions, "Enzymes: The Key to Health" did shed light on the biochemical and physiological pathways connected with each enzyme it discussed.
It also did a good job in describing the multicomponent forms of these globular proteins. The same could be said concerning the way it classified each enzyme group.
This is an interesting book to read, if you want to get a good understanding of enzymology with little or no biochemistry hassles. It was written in such a way that non-scientists could understand. It provides a steady flow of simplified enzymology gists.

This book will revolutionise any misconceptions about food, diet and digestion and enlighten many to the cause and remedy of disease.Its concepts are well laid out, very readable, very practical, authorative and easy to apply. I am curently studying Naturopathy and find it a valuable reference for study and personal application, it is so well communicated and not lacking in authentic up to date clinical and scientific validation of principles vital to 'nature cure'. It presents a modern holistic system of approaching clinical nutrition. It is truelly a fundamental first volume.
