Thoughts on ‘The Miracle of Enzym: Self-Healing Program’ by Hiromi Shinya
Months ago I told you that I am going to change my diet to lose some weight, 11 kg precisely. In the process of tight diet, I stumbled upon a YouTube channel that tells everything about dieting. Well, I learned that the vlogger knows a lot about diet science and I guess she knows about the digestive system that has become my numero uno problem so far.
She mentioned about Hiromi Shinya couple of time and shows the books as well. She ensured me that the book tells people what to eat or what to do to stay healthy. And that is beyond just losing some pounds.
I rushed to Gramedia (bookstore) and enthusiastically read the book a couple of months ago. ‘The Miracle of Enzym: Self-Healing Program’ is then the second book of Hiromi Shinya I read. The first one was ‘Mukzizat Enzym’ with the green cover. I loved the first book and I still craved for more detailed information. And here are my thoughts on the latest Shinya’s book that’s been released in Indonesia:
Intro
‘The Miracle of Enzym: Self-Healing Program’ is written by a Japanese-American doctor and expert in colonoscopy, Hiromi Shinya. He pioneered modern colonoscopic techniques, and invented the electrosurgical polypectomy snare now common on colonoscopes, allowing for removal of colon polyps without invasive surgery.
On the cover of this book, you can see that Shinya offers his theory can be applied to prevent heart attack, osteoporosis, cancer, and to bring a more healthy and happy life. He has this simple idea that every human has a key enzyme that keeps people stay young and able to recover from any sickness. So this book is absolutely non-fiction.
Experience
Let me be honest with you. This is not a book for everyone who has no interest in the medical field. Sometimes I felt like the doctor explained his studies in a too detail way and it made me both confused and bored. You’ll find many Latin names and whatsoever in the pages and wondering whether you need to know this deep or not (and whether your brain can record ‘em or not).
But the good news is, Shinya will tell the information again and again. So, you’ll start thinking that the information he wrote cannot be overlooked. Reading his books actually felt like having a conversation with your personal internist. He will try to read you and give you a suggestion very meticulously. That’s what I like about this book. You just need to open your mind, be more patient and start to absorb his experiences of 30 or more years.
The After Effect
A good non-fiction book always contains a bunch of information I can apply on a daily basis. And so does this book. I learned that I:
1. Need to drink more water and know when to;
2. Need to do more exercise, starting with the light one;
3. Chicken, red meat and other animal protein sources should be limited cause they may cause more fat (for people who want to lose weight) and furthermore can cause allergic;
4. Need more veggies;
5. Stay away from alcohol and smoke;
6. Need to keep our environment healthy cause you know, Mufasa was right. We are in the circle of life!;
7. Every disease (cancer includes) starts from the digestive system. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
