In simple terms, that means having healthy intestinal bacteria. This is not news to those of us in the natural health field, but more importance is now being attributed to probiotics, even in the allopathic medical field. One reason for this long overdue recognition, is\u00a0outbreaks\u00a0in hospitals and senior complexes of serious conditions such as Clostridium difficile infections (CDI). This disease\u00a0been increasing in the last 30 years, primarily due to increased antibiotic and chemotherapy use.<\/p>\r\n<p>The medical profession continues to use antibiotics to treat the condition, although as far back as 2006, I read\u00a0a report by a Quebec hospital having decreased the incidence of CDI by 90% by merely giving all patients a probiotic supplement daily. I cannot recall the dollar savings, but obviously they were HUGE, as on average, a CDI infection increases a patient&#8217;s hospital stay by 6 days! \u00a0Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, \u00a0as probiotics do not offer the exorbitant mark-up and profit margin as drugs, there has been &#8216;inadequate studies&#8217; to support the evidence to have this become mainstream.<\/p>\r\n<p>Many research dollars are being spent on faecal transplant studies and trials for severe CDI with promising results. In my opinion, effective probiotics such as\u00a0<strong>NutriBiome Bacillus Coagulans <\/strong>is both more cost effective and considerably more appealing. We need to simplify, not complicate our health &#8211; KIS!<\/p>\r\n<p>Those who DO care about their health are reaping the benefits.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dr, Jay Vandenheuval, PhD, ND, presented an\u00a0excellent webinar which covered the basics for 2 new products: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturessunshine.com\/us\/product\/bacillus-coagulans-probiotics-nutribiome-90-caps\/6109\/?upline=1143615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>NutriBiome Bacillus Coagulans<\/strong><\/a>, as well as <strong>Detox Basics <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/naturalpathremedies.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(contact the author)<\/a> , a 30 day kit for whole body cleansing.

It works very quickly for food poisoning, diarrhea, parasitic infestation, and toxic overload from any environmental source.\u00a0<span class=\"s1\"><b>B<\/b><\/span><b>acillus coagulans <\/b>is \u00a0naturally heat-stable, so\u00a0no refrigeration required. This is an excellent feature for travellers. It \u00a0readily withstands the stomach&#8217;s acidic environment,\u00a0thereby providing better targeted\u00a0support to the intestine and maintaining balance\u00a0in the microbiome.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>NutriBiome Bacillus coagulans<\/strong> \u00a0contains\u00a0(MTCC\u00a05856) 1 billion cfu (70 mg), as well as Inulin, a FOS (Fructooligosaccharide), which is a\u00a0prebiotic to stimulate the growth of nonpathogenic intestinal microflora.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturessunshine.com\/us\/product\/detox-basics-30-day\/3986\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Detox Basics Kit&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\r\n<p>combines Bacillus coagulans with several important formulas to provide a comprehensive, 30-day detox program. It has been designed to help support the function of digestive system, colon, liver, kidneys, all our organs involved in detoxification and filtration.<\/p>\r\n<p>The liver aids in the digestive process\u00a0by secreting bile that emulsifies fat, controls the\u00a0metabolism of various nutrients, and serves as a\u00a0reservoir for many of these same nutrients. The liver has over 500 critical functions in the body, and a healthy liver keeps life flowing smoothly.<\/p>\r\n<p>The\u00a0kidneys act as a filtration system, balancing our minerals and water to maintain homeostasis. A couple of signs of kidney\u00a0overload can be sore back and arthritis.<\/p>\r\n<p>The colon in a healthy state, provides nourishment via nutrient absorption, balances water and Potassium, helps production of Vitamins K, B12, thiamin and riboflavin, ensures adequate lymphatic flow to\u00a0enhance immunity, as well as taking out the garbage!
