Guess what? For digesting proteins you need protease, fats - lipase, and so on. Digestive enzymes blend in general cases. No specifics. What would you do? Go to pharmacy and buy available digestive enzymes, blend or few separate ones. Doesn't help? I wonder why... (not really). I would recommend instead another book on enzymes, bull's eye: Enzymes: Go With Your Gut: More Practical Guidelines For Digestive Enzymes by Karen De Felice.

What else? "Dr. Ellen" reminds me "Dr. Granny", stories of patients are what I would like not to see in the books I'm reading, together with recommendation to use soy products, bran, legumes, lean meat. To clear why so, take a look at Low phytate, low lectin diet: in the book The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson (Mark's Daily Apple website), Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel (Cure Tooth Decay website), Living the Low-Carb Life: From Atkins to the Zone Choosing the Diet That's Right for You by Jonny Bowden, they explain this better than I.

In general, this is a mix of herbal approach and adding other nutritional supplements, unspecified enzymes and lifestyle changes. Nothing special, I have seen better, both books and recommendations. Sorry.

Lots of information that sounds helpful in theory. After finishing the book, I did go to Cutler's office in Mill Valley and purchased a bunch of enzymes. Has not really helped much unfortunately, if at all.
