Nightly Essense ~ Systemic Enzyme Overview
Nightly Essense utilizes a blend of the latest cutting-edge systemic
enzymes along with a complete panel of 14 different strains of probiotic
bacteria. The information for this product is divided into
two sections:
1) Probiotic Bacteria
2) Systemic Enzymes.

Nightly Essense ~ Probiotic Bacteria Overview
“If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space!”
When we were born our intestinal tracts were void or empty of any
bacteria. Breast-feeding during the first few weeks establishes
a base of friendly bacteria that coats the entire tract.
This
good bacteria will fight off and act as a defense against any harmful
pathogens. Studies have revealed that the mortality rates of infants
that do not breast feed are significantly higher. By the time we
reach adulthood, we will have approximately 3 ½ pounds of bacteria
(this includes both good and bad) in our intestines.
Generally
speaking when the colon is slightly acidic (pH below 7.0) and no
harmful bacteria will proliferate or gain a foothold. If the colon
goes alkaline (pH above 7.0) the friendly bacteria will no longer
be able to protect your health. There are a number of benefits that
go along with these friendly bacteria:
• Vitamin production specifically B2, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin
and niacin.
• Decrease in lactose intolerance because of the enzyme lactase.
• Lower cholesterol levels
• Defense against food poisoning
• Inhibition of candida, yeast and other fungal forms
• Healthier looking and feeling skin
• Better absorption of foods because of the enzymes they produce
• Increase in paristalsis (wave of contraction that moves food through
the colon). Normalizes bowel movements.
• Increase in immunity through the secretion of acids and natural
antibiotics.
• Help maintain a good hormonal balance.
As we age the levels of friendly bacteria will lessen. This is also
true of your body’s production of hydrochloric acid (HCl) which
helps maintain a low pH in the colon. As your body produces less
HCl, the friendly bacteria will have to compensate for that. There
are also a number of things that we can do to help preserve the
good bacteria:
• Avoid antibiotics at all costs (prescription as well as those
found in non-organic store bought meats)
• Stop drinking chlorinated water
• Do not use antacids or anti-inflammatory drugs
• Lower your stress level
• Don’t subject yourself to radiation or chemotherapy
• Consume less alcohol and smoke less tobacco
• Eat more raw, enzyme-rich foods
Remember, that a properly functioning intestinal tract is one of
your body’s main defenses against illness.
Nightly Essense ~ Probiotic Bacteria Recommendations
Commitment: "It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.”
All of the following ingredients are found in the Nightly
Essense product.
Bifidobacterium bifidum- 3.0 billion CFU (Colony
Forming Units).
These bacteria live predominately in the large intestine and will
consume old fecal matter, produce important B vitamins, lower the
pH (more acidic) in the colon, protect and support the liver and
stop the formation of cancer-causing agents. pH range 4-7.
Bifidobacterium breve- 5.2 billion CFU. Same functions
as bifidum.
Bifidobacterium infantis- 7.2 billion CFU. Same
functions as bifidum.
Bifidobacterium longum- 1.2 billion CFU. Same functions
as bifidum.
Lactobacillus acidophilus- 7.2 Billion CFU (Colony
Forming Units).
These friendly flora live mainly in the small intestine and will
produce B-complex vitamins, digest milk sugars (lactose), produce
enzymes that will digest foods, create natural acids and antibiotics
(lactic acid, acidolin, acidophilin, lactocidin, bacteriocin), reduce
yeast infections, reduce cholesterol levels, help lessen yeasts
such as Candida and prevent bad breath. pH range 4-7.
Lactobacillus brevis- 900 million CFU. Same functions
as acidophilus.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus- 900 million CFU. Same
functions as acidophilus.
Lactobacillus casei- 900 million CFU. It is stable
in acid and bile. It produces an antimicrobial substance that inhibits
pathogens like C. difficile diarrhea in a pH of 4-7.
Lactobacillus helveticus- 300 million CFU. Same
functions as acidophilus.
Lactobacillus lactis- 300 million CFU. Same functions
as acidophilus.
Lactobacillus plantarum- 900 million CFU. Originally
found in foods such as sauerkraut and sourdough. Works in the small
intestine and eliminates dozens of harmful pathogens such as E.
coli in a pH range 4-7.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus- 900 million CFU. These
bacteria are very powerful immune stimulators and will boost the
immune system’s effectiveness by up to 300% in killing off foreign
invaders. They inhibit uropathogenic bacteria and thereby help prevent
recurrent urinary tract infections. pH range of 4-7.
Lactobacillus salivarius- 300 million CFU. Dramatically
increases energy levels by breaking down proteins and its byproducts
and making nutrients more available. Its effectiveness against pathogenic
microorganisms is so powerful that symptoms of food poisoning have
been relieved within 30-60 minutes after ingestion in a pH of 4-7
Streptococcus thermophilus- 900 million CFU. It
produces lactase enzymes, and lowers oxidation/reduction potential
in the intestine in a pH range 4-7.
Other Recommendations
• Eat more raw, organic enzyme-rich foods. This will greatly assist
the intestinal tract in facilitating proper absorption and elimination
of the some 50,000 tons of food that will pass through it during
an average life span.
• Eat more fiber like ground, organic flaxseed meal. Put in juice
or a shake.

Nightly Essense ~ Systemic Enzyme Overview
“Do not look back in anger or forward in fear but around in
awareness.”
Emerson
In order to receive the maximum benefits of enzymes they should
also be taken on an empty stomach (between meals, bed time, etc.).
Some of the benefits include:
• Increased circulation and energy levels
• Boosting the immune system (white blood cells- WBC)
• Decreasing food and airborne allergies
• Removal of Circulating Immune Complexes (CIC)
• Revitalization of major organs (liver, kidneys, colon, heart)
• Reduction of inflammation or swelling
• Speeds up recovery time from sickness or injuries
Let’s explain this in a little more detail. When we eat cooked,
processed foods over long periods of time, proteins and fats are
only partially digested when they are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Once
in the bloodstream, specific white blood cells recognize them as
foreign invaders and produce antibodies. These are referred to as
Circulating Immune Complexes (CIC). Normally our white blood cells
(WBC’s) are able to engulf and break them down enzymatically.
Because of the excessive amounts of CIC’s the body is unable to
dispose of it fast enough, so it stores them. These may end up as
plaque attached to the inside of the arteries, uric acid crystals
in the joints or as allergic reactions in the tissues or lungs.
What happens is that the most important part of our immune systems
(white blood cells) are pulled away from their job of protecting
us from real pathogens and used for the digestion of our meals.
This was conclusively proven by studies conducted by Dr. Keutchakoff
in 1930. He showed that there was a dramatic increase in white blood
cells after eating a cooked food meal while there was no substantial
increase in white blood cells after a raw food meal.
Another
interesting study showed that taking proteolytic (protease) enzymes
on an empty stomach actually increased white blood cell activity
between 700 and 1,300 percent.
This also explains why the body’s temperature will rise slightly
during an infection or injury to approximately 104 degrees. Enzymes
do their absolute best work at these temperatures. This is why the
body produces more white blood cells which contain the highest concentration
of enzymes in order to get the job accomplished in the shortest
period of time.
Taking aspirin or a similar product actually impedes this process
by bringing the temperature down and prolonging the healing time.
Enzymes are the workforce in the body. Give them the support they
need and they will serve you without fail.
