Empire Health, LLC & Enzymes, Inc. end long-term relationship
with BioSET, Inc. and Dr. Ellen Cutler
May 19, 2008
Dear Health Care Practitioner,
It was recently brought to our attention by one of our customers that Dr. Ellen Cutler, owner of BioSET, Inc., has taken steps in the past few months to discontinue the relationship between BioSET, Inc. and Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. Unfortunately, Dr. Cutler chose not to discuss her intentions with Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. directly, therefore preventing the two sides from negotiating an amicable separation. Instead, Dr. Cutler has secretly attempted to duplicate formulations in the BioSET product line in order to circumvent Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. Moreover, Dr. Cutler has placed BioSET customers in an awkward position by contacting them regarding her plans.
Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. has no choice but to end its relationship with Dr. Ellen Cutler and the BioSET organization effective immediately.
The BioSET, Inc./Enzymes, Inc. relationship began nine years ago when Dr. Cutler approached Enzymes, Inc. in search of a product line that was more compatible with the BioSET System than the one she was endorsing at the time. The technical staff of Enzymes, Inc., consisting of biochemists and a medical doctor with more than 30 years of combined experience formulating enzyme-based products for health care practitioners, accepted the challenge of developing a line of high-quality, innovative products to meet the needs of Dr. Cutler and BioSET. Dr. Cutler was so pleased with the therapeutic effectiveness of these products that she permitted Enzymes, Inc. to promote them to health care practitioners using the BioSET trademark and her endorsement for the past nine years.
During those years, Enzymes, Inc. has remained loyal to and supportive of Dr. Cutler through her many professional and personal trials and tribulations. For the sake of its customers, Enzymes, Inc. has made every effort to help bring stability to the ever-changing BioSET organization. Two years ago, when the BioSET organization was floundering, Dr. Cutler formed a partnership with natural health care industry veteran Frank Guzzo to manage all activities for BioSET, Inc. Encouraged by this positive move, Enzymes, Inc. agreed to work with Frank Guzzo to create a new entity, Empire Health, LLC, which would facilitate the marketing and distribution of the BioSET product line, as well as coordinate BioSET seminars.
The goal of Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. has always been to provide the best possible products to health care practitioners combined with exceptional technical support and reasonable pricing. It has become clear during the past year that Dr. Cutler’s business methods and motivations differ dramatically from those of Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. The inability of Empire Health, LLC to reach a contractual agreement with Dr. Cutler despite its good faith efforts, coupled with Dr. Cutler’s arbitrary termination of Frank Guzzo’s partnership in BioSET, Inc., has led to the realization that any type of continued relationship with Dr. Ellen Cutler and BioSET, Inc. is impossible.
Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. apologizes for any inconvenience this separation from BioSET, Inc. may cause you or your practice. We have immediately begun phasing out product bottles bearing the BioSET logo but will continue to sell the same formulations with the same clinically-proven proprietary ingredients such as PhysioProtease™ and Protease GL.™ To avoid patient confusion, the label design will remain the same with only the BioSET logo being replaced. In addition, the separation from BioSET allows us to offer more favorable pricing on all products, as well as add new, innovative products to the line. Private label opportunities are also now possible.
Of course, you will continue to receive the same excellent customer service and technical support you have come to expect from Empire Health, LLC/Enzymes, Inc. To benefit your practice further, we will be sponsoring educational opportunities on a wide range of topics, including enzyme therapy and bioenergetic medicine, in convenient formats at reasonable prices.
Thank you for your patience during this transition. We look forward to continuing to help you build your practice. Please don’t hesitate to contact either one of us if you have questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Yours for Better Health,
Frank Guzzo

NSAIDs fail to deliver brain benefits
National Enzyme News

Results of a government study indicate a prescription and over-the-counter drug offer no brain-protecting benefits, according to a mid-May Associated Press story.
Researchers theorized that the painkillers, Celebrex and Aleve, might prevent Alzheimer’s through reduced inflammation. The study, however, showed the two drugs did nothing to slow or halt mental decline, the story said.
Celebrex and Aleve fall under the category of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which have been shown to cause potential heart and stomach problems.
For natural pain relief without the dangerous side effects of NSAIDs, there are several products in the WellZymes™ line of enzyme supplements that offer support for pain associated with inflammation. Products include WellZymes™ Joint Health, Protease and Infla-Min.™
In addition, WellZymes™ Mental Focus™ contains anti-inflammatory enzymes, along with rejuvenating herbs, to help older adults maintain memory, concentration and energy. Mental Focus™ helps maintain blood flow and sufficient amounts of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Story in national magazine recommends ingredients found in WellZymes™ products

In its April issue, Health magazine features bromelain and chasteberry tree, both in WellZymes™ products, as safe and effective natural ingredients.
The article, dubbed “All-natural remedies that honestly work,” also lists boswellia, for pain, and valerian, for sleep, as good supplement choices. All four ingredients are included in products from WellZymes.™
Bromelain An enzyme used for pain, bromelain has an “ability to curb pain-causing inflammation,” according to Health. WellZymes™ features bromelain in Joint Health, Fibro Ease™ and Infla-Min.™ For symptoms of fibromyalgia, Fibro Ease™ helps relieve muscle tenderness and enhances nutrient delivery to muscles and nerve cells. Infla-Min,™ also for inflammation, helps reduce redness, heat, swelling and pain.
Boswellia The herb boswellia, which is potentially beneficial for osteoarthritis pain, might be “more effective than drugs like ibuprofen for reducing inflammation,” Health says. WellZymes™ Joint Health, which assists the body’s natural process for producing and preserving joint tissue, features boswellia resin extract.
Chasteberry tree For PMS, chasteberry tree helps regulate prolactin, a hormone that can cause irritability, pain and breast soreness, according to Health. WellZymes™ PMS Comfort™ contains enzymes, vitamins and herbs, including chasteberry extract, to help balance hormone levels and ease PMS symptoms.
Valerian Nonaddictive herb valerian has shown in some studies to induce sleep with no side effects, Health says. WellZymes™ Sleep Enhance has valerian root extract, along with enzymes and other herbs, to promote restful sleep without daytime drowsiness.

Probiotics might be effective against C. diff

Cases of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) increased twofold from 2000 to 2005, claiming the lives of more than 28,000 people in 2005 alone, according to a late April MSNBC report.
About 301,200 people contracted the disease in 2005, where from 1993 to 2005, more than 2 million got CDAD, MSNBC reports.
The intestinal infection, which can cause mild to sever diarrhea, disturbs the normal flora content of the colon. Its occurrence is associated with the use of antibiotics, which can disrupt a normally healthy gut balance. It is most likely to affect older patients.
MSNBC says Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, produces spores that can last on surfaces for weeks, and they must be killed with bleach.
Several reports have indicated that probiotics – often described as friendly bacteria – might help protect against C. diff infection. In fact, a mid-April story posted at enzymeswork.com reports probiotics might fight off C. diff and other infections.
The story, dubbed “Health benefits boost popularity of probiotics,” also mentions that along with keeping people regular, friendly bacteria could prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea.
An Internet search reveals myriad research on probiotics and their potential to fight C. diff. It seems studies are ongoing as researchers seek to reveal probiotic strains that might work best against the infection.
In the WellZymes™ line, Colon Health is a probiotic supplement that provides a blend of more than 3 billion viable organisms to restore the colon’s flora balance. The organisms also raise the pH of the colon to help prevent potentially harmful tissue changes.
