One of many problems caused from taking antibiotics is a yeast infection. No fun, and can be dangerous if left to run amok in the body. Another problem is chronic diarrhea.

In addition to antibiotics you are being bombarded with food additives, chlorinated water and medications that can upset the balance of that ecosystem flora. Hormonal drugs, such as birth control pills and cortisone are especially detrimental to the body’s ecosystem. Your body’s immune system is so strong and fights so hard to stay healthy that you may not notice the imbalance for years but it will catch up to you eventually…

One way of balancing out the ecosystem in your body is with Probiotics, which improve liver and circulatory functions, improve resistance to allergies and decrease the presence of yeast infections. Probiotics are those foods and supplement that enhance and restore the helpful bacteria. Small amounts are found in foods like yogurt and fermented Dairy products. Larger amounts are found in probiotic supplements found in your local health food store or Acidophilus Milk in the dairy case. But most of these Probiotics will grow Mold. Not a pleasant thought.

If you want a Probiotic (one that I have used for over 4 years) that will NOT grow mold, doesn’t need refrigeration and WILL restore your "friendly bacteria" get Total Immune Booster

If you have encountered any of the aforementioned, antibiotics, chlorinated water (chlorine by products exist in over-the-counter bottled water as well), hormones, birth control pills, cortisone or anti-inflammatories you need to get your ecosystem back into balance now before other systems start to break down.

You say, "But I’m not ill." No, you may not feel as if you are now but if you frequently catch colds, have fever blisters, vaginal or rectal itching, diarrhea either chronic or intermittent, dry skin, allergies or a host of other small annoying symptoms you could very well be on your way to becoming more seriously ill!

The Need for Probiotics

The word “probiotic” is a modern term which means just the opposite of “antibiotic” or “anti-microbial”, which mean toxic or death. Anti-Microbial represents the typical, failed philosophy of modern science, being that, if you “kill disease“, health will remain. This philosophy fails to understand that, when you are diseased, health is gone, and even if the disease is “killed”, the cause of the disease would still be present.

At one time, because of nutrient-rich soil, clean water, organic fertilizers, abundant, beneficial insects and micro-flora, it was possible to consume the now defunct “healthy diet“, and be able to maintain, quite naturally, healthy, balanced intestinal flora.

No one has ever lived in a perfect world, but it has never been more imperfect than it is now. Soil depletion, insecticide-herbicide-chemically fertilized farms, cooked, processed, chemical-laden foods, anti-microbial soaps, antiseptics, the overuse of antibiotics, irradiation, chlorinated drinking water, widespread use of birth control pills, immunosuppressant drugs, chemotherapy and much more all conspire to destroy what we may call “the body ecology”.

Harvey Wiley, once head of the American Bureau of Chemistry (now known as the Food and Drug Administration), was a strong proponent of good triumphing over evil in the American food industry, but his ouster by the food and drug cartels spelled ultimate freedom for pharmaceutical and food “lords” to flood our markets with what has been referred to as “plastic” food.

We have come to the point where packaged mixes and dinners, fast served, processed foods, sugar-laden drinks, and even vitamins and supplements are the things people call “food”.

Wiley feared, with good reason, the future of mankind who, having to sustain itself on the commercially proffered “food” would fall prey to illness, weakness and disease. He knew that the food we consume becomes a “substrate” material that is acted upon by the microbiological cultures present in your system, and that the quality of the food you consume has everything to do with the survival of a healthy microbiology.

Eating “junk food“, America’s favorite diet, supplies substrates that lead to disease-creating microbiology! When processed, incomplete foods are consumed regularly, the microbiology dissolves and adjusts downward to the level and quality of the available material. Unfortunately, as modern agricultural methods continue to use chemistry on an ever-increasing basis, the food which is produced will continue to become less of a substrate for healthy microbiology.

What are minerals?

Minerals make up our body and keep each one of the body’s system and organs working in sync. When minerals are not present things go awry…

Minerals are the electrolytes in our body that maintain bodily functions and gives us a healthy mind and body. They also give our bones and tendons enough density and strength to support our weight and enables our brain to function as it should.

Think of minerals as the battery to your body, as the battery is to your car. With out that battery in your car, it is not going to start or turn over the starter. Well, same thing with your body with one slight difference. That difference is that your body can function on partial battery for a longer time, where the car will not…

Mineral deficiency taxes your body and ends up disabling different systems and organs. Over time when mineral depletion is prolonged, more symptoms appear such as:

• exaggerated tiredness (chronic fatigue syndrome)
• headaches (migraine, tension)
• dry skin
