Ice axes and enzyme capsules helped along the way.

The Jeep revved its engine, then jerked to a stop. Men with guns were outside, guarding a checkpoint at a gold mine in Indonesia’s Maoke Mountains. There were muffled shouts. A pause. Then the Jeep was moving again.

Troy Aupperle, an American mountain climber, was hidden in back. He crouched on top of his pack, concealed under a tarp. He waited for the truck to gain speed. He exhaled in relief.

It was January 2007, and Aupperle, a small-business owner from Alexandria, Minn., had hired a travel company to get him to the wilderness near Carstensz Pyramid. The summit — a 16,023-foot fin of rock, the highest point in all of Oceania — was on Aupperle’s checklist as a must-climb mountain peak.

“Clandestine human smuggling was not initially part of the plan,” he said during a recent presentation at an REI store in Roseville, where he recounted his attempt at setting a time record for climbing the highest mountain on each continent.

Aupperle, 44, did not make his hoped-for time, overshooting the deadline by more than a year. But in May, on a desolate perch at 29,029 feet, the veteran climber pulled off his oxygen mask and posed for a victory photo atop Mount Everest, the final peak on a continent-hopping quest that had consumed his life.

As mountaineering feats go, climbing the Seven Summits — peaks in Alaska, Argentina, Russia, Nepal/China, Antarctica, Tanzania and Indonesia — is an ultimate accomplishment.

Conceived almost 25 years ago by Dick Bass, the owner of Utah’s Snowbird Ski Resort, the Seven Summits concept continues to fascinate. Each year a few more adventurous — and mostly affluent — climbers tick off the continental circuit.

Aupperle said he spent more than $150,000 in travel expenses, permits and guide fees. The challenge of climbing high peaks and the adventure of international travel — Jeep smuggling episodes and all — were primary draws.

But Aupperle, who is pursuing a master’s degree in nutrition, had other motives with his high peaks spree. As the founder of Enzymology Research Center, a manufacturer of mixes used in supplemental nutrition products, Aupperle said accomplishing the Seven Summits would demonstrate the effectiveness of a certain underappreciated amino acid group.

“Completing these peaks was my first step in the ultimate goal of introducing enzymes to the world,” he said.

Indeed, Aupperle expresses not a hint of irony in this statement.

The full disclosure is that his company sells enzyme-based products to resellers. The fine print is that, as an athlete, Aupperle has long believed in the effectiveness of enzymes, the proteins found in many foods that catalyze chemical reactions at a cellular level.

He takes about 10 capsules of enzymes and other supplements each day. He credits this regimen with increasing his energy levels and aiding in digestion.

“Your body is more efficient and effective with enzyme supplements,” he said.

His company, which employs 11 people, offers plant and fermented microbial enzymes such as glucose oxidase, fungal lipase and serratiopeptidase. Traveling around the planet, Aupperle packed bottles of the stuff alongside his mountaineering boots and ice axes.

“The digestion process consumes ridiculous amounts of energy, so if you can relieve the body from those duties, you will have more energy to put towards your climb,” he explained.

Health experts disagree on the effectiveness of enzyme supplements, which are sold over the counter in dozens of types. Promised effects range from easing upset stomach to increasing a person’s life span. The supplements are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but most do not require administration approval.

Aupperle also is a proponent of other unorthodox supplements, including antioxidant products, probiotic bacteria, medicinal silver and a liquid solution that contains digestible oxygen. Smoked salmon and a meal-replacement product called the ProBar are other favorites for high-altitude adventures.

“I have a system down,” Aupperle said, noting that he suffered almost no illnesses or altitude sickness during his quest.

Take or leave Aupperle’s nutritional advice, but his efficiency on expeditions on peaks from Russia’s Mount Elbrus to Vinson Massif in Antarctica is a case study in how to do the Seven Summits right.

Carstensz Pyramid, where smuggling climbers in trucks was once a common practice, might be another story. Aupperle said the Indonesian travel company he hired had promised helicopter transport to the base of the remote mountain peak. He said he confirmed several times before leaving the United States.

“There was no helicopter when I arrived,” he said.

He took it in stride. He got in the Jeep, pulled the tarp over his head, and they bumped along.

In a few hours, he was in the jungle, hiking toward Carstensz Pyramid for a solo ascent. He set up camp in the Indonesian outback, rock walls towering above.

Early the next morning, he shouldered his pack. The sun was rising as he neared a final ridge. He popped some enzyme capsules, and then climbed on, not stopping until he reached the top.

Here is a neat list of scripture about the birth of Jesus Christ and how God sent His only Son down from heaven to restore man by taking away our sins at Calvary. Merry Christmas Everyone! We have joy to share with those that don’t know Our Savior Jesus Christ!

Isaiah 7:14
Matthew 1:18-25
Luke 2:1-14
Revelation 19:11-16

Here is a great resource to look up scripture online. I recommend the New King James Version: Holy Bible

Nattokinase is an enzyme that helps prevent blood clots. British Airways sought a way to keep their passengers that suffer from deep vein thrombosis on long transcontinental flights from suffering strokes shortly after landing. Research uncovered the enzyme Nattokinase. Dr. Ralph Halsworth has researched Nattokinase and writes on the effectiveness of Nattokinase in journals.

Peak Enzymes has platinum nattokinase in its systemic enzyme. Peak Enzymes are totally transparent. Our supplier is Troy Aupperle. He lists the amount of enzymes available per serving on our products. The testimonials are flooding in now:

Byron in Tennessee has a brother that has had scarring heal in 3 weeks of using Peak Enzymes.

Judy in Wisconsin has seen scars from a bite on her arm heal. She told me the extra energy helped her dig out from the latest snow that fell recently.

Maxine in Washington is noticing her energy level is much improved.

Consumers like to compare products when they shop so they can find the best value. Peak Enzymes are pure Japanese plant based enzymes products. Wobenzym also carries enzymes products. The following comparison is Wobenzym’s tablet and Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ Systemic Enzyme veggie capsule.

Wobenzym has 5 separate proteolytic enzymes. There are 2 plant based enzymes and 3 animal derived enzymes in the Wobenzym tablet. Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ Systemic Enzymes has 7 different proteolytic enzymes and they are pure Japanese plant based enzymes.

Wobenzym has 20,000 units of protease activity per tablet. Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ has 160,000 units of protease activity per veggie capsule.

Wobenzym is 13 cents per tablet. You will need 8 Wobenzym tablets to match 1 Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ Enzyme. So 8 x .13 = $1.04 to get the same amount of protease activity as Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ has. The cost of one Peak Enzymes ‘Without’ is .64 cents. Wobenzym is .40 cents more expensive.

There are no other ingredients in Peak Enzymes ‘Without’. There are no animal by products. Peak Enzymes is 100 % clean. Here are the other ingredients in Wobenzym:

Today was a tough day. I had to make a quick gratitude list because some major financial problems came my way today. I decided not to let a major truck repair and getting locked out of my own house destroy my day. I did the next best thing and will go from there. Tomorrow is another day. Every human being will have tough days. How we deal with problems is part of our learning process. If I dwell on the bad, my attitude will be bad. If I accept that things will happen and it is expensive to live, the situation doesn’t overwhelm me anymore and I can get back to business. Think I will shoot a video about our Peak Enzymes sample packages.

Was on a conference call recently with Troy Aupperle and learned how you can get up to 70 percent of your energy back by using Peak Enzymes. Imagine how much better you would feel by getting back the energy your body is currently using to digest your food. Just think about how much better your body will break down the nutrients from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes from your diet.

One other important point Troy made was it is essential for your body that you drink plenty of water ever day so the body can expel toxins. Many people feel sick and ill due to toxic build up in their cells. You can listen to the latest recorded call with Troy here:
