The Essence of the Prodigious Enzyme: Dr. Shinya’s Health Guide
In a world where chronic diseases are becoming increasingly common, Dr Hiromi Shinya, one of the world’s most renowned gastroenterologists and co-developer of modern colonoscopy, presents a practical and revealing guide: ‘The Essential Guide to the Prodigious Enzyme’. This work challenges many of the conventions of Western medicine and proposes a new health paradigm based on the power of enzymes and alkaline nutrition.
Who is Dr Hiromi Shinya?
Dr. Shinya is a world leader in digestive surgery and preventive health. Throughout his career in the United States and Japan, he has treated tens of thousands of patients, many of them public figures and high-level executives. His work is based on decades of clinical observations and in-depth research on the connection between the state of the intestine, digestive enzymes, and overall health.
The Central Concept: The Prodigious Enzyme
According to Dr. Shinya, all living beings have a limited supply of essential enzymes that regulate all vital functions — from digestion to cell renewal. He refers to these enzymes as “prodigious enzymes.”
The author’s thesis:
-
The more we overload the body with processed foods, excess animal protein and environmental toxins, the faster we deplete these essential enzymes.
-
The secret to living longer and healthier lies in preserving and enhancing these enzymes through diet and lifestyle.
The Connection with Alkaline Water
One of the pillars of Dr. Shinya’s approach is the consumption of ionised alkaline water. The author consistently observes that patients who drink high-quality alkaline water experience:
-
Improved intestinal flora,
-
Less inflammation in the digestive tract,
-
More energy and efficient cell recovery.

Essential Recommendations from the Book
-
A mostly plant-based diet: According to Shinya, the ideal diet is rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains and low in animal products.
-
Avoid dairy products and red meat: These foods are difficult to digest and overload the body.
-
Drink 6 to 10 glasses of alkaline water per day: Preferably between meals.
-
Avoid late meals and overeating: Night-time digestion negatively affects metabolism.
-
Regular exercise and adequate rest: Essential for supporting enzyme function.
Observed results
Shinya presents comparative images of the colons of patients who have been following his recommendations for years and those who maintain typical Western habits.
The “clean” intestines of his patients reflect better absorption, fewer toxins, and greater immunity — reinforcing the direct link between diet, enzymes, and long-term health.
The Importance of Water in the Enzymatic Process
In addition to nutrition, hydration with alkaline ionised water plays a key role in the effectiveness of enzymes:
-
Improves cellular pH;
-
Increases blood oxygenation;
-
Helps eliminate metabolic waste.
