The ulitmate binder: Cleanse - gut health, immunoglobulins, detox

Ultimate Binder? Yes, the ULTIMATE pathogen binder. Cleanse is "the" dairy-free pathogen binder that does not bind to beneficial bacteria. It helps improve the nutrient absorption of other supplements. Other binders may reduce nutrient absorption. Other binders may affect the absorption of medications. Other binders may bind to beneficial bacteria. Not Cleanse. It only binds to the bad stuff. Cleanse contains both immunoglobulins and albumin for antigen (pathogen) and heavy metal binding actions. Multiple research studies have proven the binding action of the immunoglobulins in Cleanse.* Cleanse binds to pathogens. Pathogens then follow normal peristalsis (intestinal flow so to speak)...

2 keys to a complete gut cleanup - gut health, pathogens, IBS, SIBO, candida

2 keys to a complete gut cleanup - gut health, pathogens, IBS, SIBO, candida

There is a full cleanup and then there is a "so-so" cleanup. Which one do you want? The Silver Fern™ approach assumes pathogens are entrenched in your system (defenses are built up). The Silver Fern™ approach assumes you may have imbalances of all kinds in the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The Silver Fern™ approach combines an aggressive unraveling mechanism (against pathogens only) with a complete binder shown to bind everything from bad bacteria, candida, and mold to heavy metals. Once the system is cleaned up, we suggest a full gut buildup process right after. Pathogens don't thrive in...

Digestive Enyzmes help with building muscle- gut health, protein, digestive enzymes

Digestive Enyzmes help with building muscle- gut health, protein, digestive enzymes

Believe it or not, loading up on more protein may not be as effective as taking the right enzymes with the protein you are eating so that you absorb more of it. In the past, I have posted on keys to protein absorption. Gastric juices (produced by a healthy stomach barrier) are key to protein digestion. Many people have too little and not too much stomach acid or gastric juices. With this comes a deficiency in enzymes to break down protein. Due to the translocation of pathogens from the digestive system to the pancreas (via leaky gut or increased intestinal...

Why an effective kids probiotic? - gut health, probiotics, kids health

Building a child's gut is key to their overall health. Like many of you, we have children. We wanted our children to have the best gut health possible. So, we had a renowned microbiologist formulate our Kids Probiotic. When he was formulating the Kids Probiotic we asked him to formulate what he had his children taking every day.Kids Probiotic is a bit different than traditional probiotics you might see elsewhere. Instead of loading a child up with a few strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, we wanted a probiotic to help drive out pathogens AND increase a lot of beneficial bacteria...

There is a small disconnect in the world of probiotics. Pediatricians recommend children get probiotics from their food vs. supplements. This advice would be brilliant if probiotic strains found in most food didn't die from the high acidity of the stomach. "Such high acidity due to secreted gastric acid kills probiotic strains as well as gastric commensal microbes. Therefore, the application of probiotics to the stomach or proximal small intestine has historically been considered impractical.""Microbiota in the stomach and application of probiotics to gastroduodenal diseases" National Library of Medicine Do you know what strains do survive the harsh acid, temperature,...

3 common misunderstandings with supplements - gut health, dose, quality

After working with thousands of people, here are the 3 most common misunderstandings we see with supplements:⏲️ TIME: Most research studies done on supplements say they need 8 to 12 weeks to work, NOT 30 DAYS. Most people will quit taking a supplement in the first 30 days if they don't notice it working. I had to train myself to give products the time needed to work per the research studies and trust the process.

News Flash. ⚡️If you have gut issues like constipation and diarrhea, bloating and gas, autoimmune issues, allergies, etc. you have some degree of leaky gut (or increased intestinal permeability). It may not be bad, but you likely have it. I find it interesting that for something that doesn't exist (per the medical community), there is ample research on it and what it does. We feel very strongly that to help with a leaky gut you have to do more than just strengthen the gut barrier. You need to clear out the pathogens that are tearing it down. Your approach for...

I think it is very safe to say that poor gut health (whether you know it or not and whether you feel like you have poor gut health or not) affects the immune system, which in turn causes asthma and allergy issues. Stress, poor diet, irritants, allergies, infections, viruses (cold/flu/CO*ID), and gut issues can all cause asthma problems.

Depression also comes with random bouts of being mean suddenly, lashing out at stupid things, sudden flashes of anger, etc. The most common one many may not recognize is that "crossed-lined" situation where you have had enough and then suddenly something else happens (usually something stupid), but you just lose your crap because of it.

Wondering what helps with heavy metals, hazardous environmental materials, and harmful biofilms? The answer is P.

The strains need to be resistant to temperature fluctuations, stomach acid, bile salts, and other conditions in the digestive process. 2) The strains need to have a positive modification to the microbiome. The strains better drive out pathogens and help beneficial bacteria thrive. Further, the probiotic strains better increase bacteria diversity and abundance of bacteria that produce...
