Frequently Asked Questions
RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS & WOBENZYM®
How does Wobenzym-N can help patients with
chronic recurrent respiratory infections?
In two separate studies, we have seen that
Wobenzym dramatically reduces the
sickness rate in children
that have frequent
respiratory tract infections. The sickness rate in Wobenzym-treated children was reduced by 65.2 %
and reduction of antibiotic consumption was 71.8 %. The decreased
need for antibiotics is of course impressive. On average, the
children were sick over 5 times a year before taking Wobenzym. Atfer
taking Wobenzym they got sick less than twice a year. The
Wobenzym-treated children also benefited from not having elevated
temperature and feeling less tired.
We should keep in mind, that in these cases the children were
traditionally treated with antibiotics, but the course of the
infection took long to resolve, and the patients had recurrent
infections – they were in and out of the hospital over 5 times a
year.
Wobenzym is used as an adjuvant in these cases to
make antibiotics more effective - but more importantly to improve
immune function so that the patients did not keep getting sick. So
Wobenzym acted as both an adjuvant and as an immunomodulator –
restoring balance to the immune system.
What
are some other specific respiratory infections that benefit
Wobenzym-N?
Specific
respiratory tract infections
include bronchitis,
laryngitis, tonsillitis, and even pneumonia. In fact when Wobenzym
was added to the traditional antibiotic therapy there was a notable
acceleration of healing time, that was evidenced in both the x-rays
and lab tests, as well as the patients clinical symptoms.
What
about allergic symptoms?
In one of the mentioned
studies, a Wobenzym treatment caused a reduction of allergic
manifestations, such as nose obstruction and burning eyes during
pollen season - which persisted even under treatment with
antihistamines - was observed in children with proven pollen
allergies.
Another study patients with asthma had significantly reduced
frequency of acute diseases and were often able to reduce their
dosage of inhalation corticoids.
We should also note that
eczema is also improved with Wobenzym.
As you know, asthma, eczema and allergies (eyes & nose) make up the
“allergic triad”.
Could Wobenzym-N help with seasonal allergies?
Noting that Wobenzym is effective in treating
each of these difficult conditions, we can say without a doubt that
people with allergies – including seasonal allergies – would benefit
greatly by taking Wobenzym-N.
What about chronic sinusitis?
I have seen good results when using Wobenzym to
treat chronic sinusitis. Which of course makes sense. Chronic
recurrent sinusitis is typically a condition that has both allergic
and infectious components – due to unstable local immunity.
Wobenzym-N is able to balance the immune system and decrease the
occurrence of sinusitis and help is resolve much quicker.
