I take Serrapeptase, and get it at Iherb.com. You can also take Lumbrokinase, or Nattokinase, Wobenzym, all can be ordered online.. I'm using it to break up the biofilm and excess fibrin.

Hello Friend Enzymes are used for assisting with digestive break-down of certain foods (ie protein, starch, plant fibers, etc). They may assist with detoxification (by neutralizing toxins in the gut) but this function is also limited. As a trained herbalist, I would not suggest that they are curative for cancer but could be useful and even important to aid digestive function. They could be useful for Lyme too as we detox and have our herx's, but again it is only limited in this function. Helpful, yes. If you have the right product. And if your digestive needs happen to be such that enzymes would be helpful to you (ie, if you are low in digestive enzymes to begin with)*.
I like Rainbow Light's digestive enzyme products. One of these has marshmallow root which helps to soothe the lining of the digestive tract, rendering it more flexible which aids elimination and digestive uptake, each alike*. I can't remember the name of the product but you could google it.
Unless, of course, your doc has recommended another product.
To absorb excess digestive system toxins during herx's, you could try activated charcoal capsules too*. But take it separately from medicatgions to be sure it doesn't absorb the drug and alter its effectiveness. Ask your doctor before taking it to be sure s/he is not concerned about nutrient/drug interactions.

PS Anybody interested in researching nutrients, herbs, etc I recommend this site www.healthy.net
Here, only world-renowned or nationally recognized naturopaths, herbalists, acupuncturists, etc post their articles. Again they have to be highly recognized to post here, and the site is extensive. It is highly trustworthy information. You can enter any health topic you want into the search box, in most cases and lots will come up.
