The Road to Perfect Health
How Probiotics Balance Your Gut and Heal Your Body

Millions of people suffer from digestive disorders including irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, but comparatively few realize that good overall health begins in the gut. We’re all equipped with our own “Gut Protection System,” or GPS, populated by a delicate balance of friendly bacteria that help us digest and synthesize nutrients, defend us from toxins, and fortify our immunity to disease.

When there is an imbalance of the bacteria (friendly vs. harmful) in the GPS—whether from anti­biotics, antacids, poor diets, or simply the natural course of aging—we experience digestive disturbances, which, if left unchecked, can lead to more serious health issues. In this publication, you will discover that by consuming probiotics (beneficial bacteria), especially strains of lactobacillus or bifidobacterium, you can safely and effectively restore balance to your GPS, ease digestive disturbances, and maintain optimum health.

Your overall good health depends on a healthy functioning digestive system. The bacteria present in your digestive tract play a major role. Imbalances in the types of gut flora, (friendly vs. harmful), can lead to digestive disturbances, which, if left unchecked, can lead to more serious and health issues. Researchers have observed that certain organisms, primarily species of lactobacillus or bifidobacterium, have health promoting benefits.

In
Probiotics: The Key to a Healthy Digestive and Immune System, you will discover that one such bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum 299v (Lp299v™), has been clinically proven to be not only beneficial to the digestive system, but also to one’s overall health.

And Your Sinus Health
John G. Thomas, Ph.D.

More than 40 million Americans suffer from sinus infections every single year. In fact, ­almost all of us will have a sinus infection sometime in our lifetimes. For the 33 million sufferers of chronic sinusitis, it seems like life is an endless round of antibiotic treatments, perhaps a brief respite, and re-infection.

Conventional medical treatment for chronic sinusitis may only be compounding the problem because research shows that most chronic sinus problems have components of viral, bacterial, and fungal infection, meaning that antibiotics will be ineffective. Increased use of antibiotics leads to more antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the medications become less effective.

Probiotics can help break the vicious circle by balancing beneficial microorganisms to help eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi; strengthening the immune system; and promoting the healthy flow of mucus to eliminate harmful organisms.

It is estimated today that over 80% of all Americans suffer from gum disease and 35 million have a severe form of it. Conventional treatments for advanced gum (periodontal) disease can be very expensive and painful. While brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist can certainly go a long way toward preventing gum disease, scientists have identified powerful new tools to fight this silent epidemic. Mounting evidence reveals that that periodontal disease can be the starting point for illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and respiratory ailments. New research suggests that probiotics, specifically lactobacillus reuteri, may prevent--and even reverse--signs of gum disease.

In Probiotics and Digestive Health, you will learn that your overall health depends on the healthy functioning of your digestive system; not only does it pull nutrients from food to nourish the body, but it participates in protecting it against diseases. The bacteria that populate the digestive tract play a major role in both of these functions. Imbalances in the types of gut flora--friendly versus harmful--can lead to digestive upsets which, if left unchecked, can lead to far more serious health problems.

One such disease is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is the most common chronic medical condition in the Western World. Approximately 40 percent of those suffering with IBS have symptoms severe or frequent enough to disrupt their daily lives. In Probiotics and Digestive Health, you will learn how probiotics work and why they are so critical for regulating overall digestive health. In addition, you will learn the differences between probiotic strains and the promise of a newly discovered strain--Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 (Bifantis)--for relieving IBS and other GI problems.

To ensure good health, maintaining a properly functioning digestive system is crucial. The bacteria present in your digestive tract play a major role. Imbalances in the types of gut flora (friendly versus harmful), can lead to digestive disturbances, which, if left unchecked, can lead to far more serious health issues. Researchers have observed that certain organisms, primarily species of lactobacillus or bifidobacterium, have health-promoting benefits.

As the population ages, more attention is being devoted to the prevention of disease and its effects. Maintaining a properly functioning digestive system is critical. The bacteria that populate the digestive tract play a major role in these functions. Imbalances in the types of gut flora (friendly versus harmful) can lead to digestive distrubances, which, if left unchecked, can lead to far more serious health issues. Researchers have observed that certain organisms, primarily species of lactobacillus, or bifidobacterium, have health promoting benefits.

In Probiotics: The Key to Digestive Health, you will discover two such bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285 and Lactobacillus Casei. Both have been clinically proven to be not only beneficial to the digestive system, but also to one’s overall health.

More than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic kidney disease, and at any given time 400,000 have advanced kidney disease that ­requires dialysis or transplantation. Probiotics offer hope for anyone with chronic kidney disease, and especially for those in Stages 3 and 4, by:
• Filtering out urea and uric acid from the intestinal tract and bloodstream
• Acting as a pseudo-kidney to remove other toxins
• Giving malfunctioning kidneys an opportunity to rest and heal

In Probiotics and Kidney Health the prime researcher in the field gives clear and concise information on kidney disease, probiotics, and the dynamic way they meet to slow—or even stop—the progression of chronic kidney disease.
