Building your health is no different than building a structure – it requires a strong foundation on which to construct the framework. Building your immunity requires a foundation of friendly bacteria, able to ward-off invading viruses, bacteria and yeasts – not unlike making sure the wood used for a structural foundation is free of termites, imperfections and invading organisms that weaken the building materials.
Do you know that, according to the National Digestive Disease Department, 70 million Americans are victims of a digestive disease? Do you also know that the intestinal tract is the foundation on which health is built, are you building a foundation of health or disease?
Your intestinal world is a self-contained bio-system that requires the right balance of “good” bacteria (probiotics) to build a structure of health that cannot easily be destroyed by:
Commercial food processing – destroys viable beneficial organisms needed to maintain a balanced intestinal population (flora).
Food preservatives, additives
Birth control pills
High-fat diets
Antibiotic drugs – destroy the “good, bad and the ugly” leaving you with a damaged intestinal environment. Destruction of friendly bacteria (probiotics) characteristically leads to yeast over-growth, chronic infections, poor digestion, fatigue and allergies.
Alcohol consumption
Steroid medications
What do probiotics do for our foundation of health? They attach to the gut and vaginal walls and lower the pH of this intestinal environment to levels that cannot sustain the life of the invading organisms. Consuming live, beneficial bacteria (probiotics) help to restore intestinal balance and strength to our foundation.
A natural probiotic that, in my clinical experience, excels in building a strong intestinal foundation is Caprobiotics™ Plus. It’s uniqueness comes from being cultured in fresh, organic goats milk. Caprobiotics™ Plus is an advanced probiotic formula containing:
• Over 24 Billion Beneficial Microorganisms per serving
• Pure goats milk that are not fed any Pesticides, Herbicides, Antibiotics or Growth Hormones.
• 6 Strains of Probiotics – 4 cultured in goats milk, 2 are derived from vegetarian sources and are added to extend shelf-life
• Substrates of naturally occurring Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, Enzymes and Proteins
• Naturally occurring “Live Enzymes”
I use and recommend Caprobiotics™ Plus especially for my patients suffering from Crohn’s Disease, colitis, leaky gut, irritable bowel and chronic fatigue syndromes, diverticulitis,
fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivities, inflammatory and immune system disorders.
