Probiotics--What To Look For...
A good probiotic formula [one with pre- and probiotics] is absolutely essential for long-term intestinal health, and long-term parasite control. When choosing a probiotic, you need to know the following:
~ Not all strains of beneficial bacteria are created equal. For each type of bacteria, there are recognized super strains. Choose a formula that uses only these recognized super strains of beneficial bacteria -- should be clearly identified as such on the label or in the company literature.
~ Then there's the question of how many live microorganisms are alive in that formula when you actually consume it. Pick up any probiotic formula, look at the label, and you'll see something like: "Contains 10-13 billion live organisms per capsule at time of manufacture. " And that's the problem: "at time of manufacture."
~ The die-off rate for probiotics can be astounding. Most formulas experience a die-off approaching log within just 60 days of manufacture. This means that the 10-13 billion you see on the label may be down to 10-13 million, or less, by the time you use it. Heat and moisture accelerate the process, which is why most manufacturers recommend refrigeration for their probiotics.
~ There are many beneficial bacteria that can be contained in a good probiotic, but two are preeminent. Look for a formula based on these:
L. acidophilus resides primarily in the small intestine and produces a number of powerful antimicrobial compounds in the gut (including: acidolin, acidolphilin, lactocidin, and bacteriocin). These compounds may inhibit the growth and toxin producing capabilities of some 23 known disease-causing pathogens (including: campylobacter, listeria, and staphylococci), as well as reduce tumor growth and effectively neutralize or inhibit carcinogenic substances.
~ It's also important to note that L. acidophilus is the primary beneficial bacteria in the vaginal tract. When the presence of the acidophilus is compromised, this allows the bad guys such as Gardnerella vaginalis or E. coli or Chlamydia to take over.
Many researchers believe that declining levels of bifidobacteria in the large intestine actually mark the eventual onset of chronic degenerative disease. Bifidobacteria benefit the body in a number of ways. They: Consume old fecal matter, Have the ability to remove cancer-forming elements (or the enzymes which lead to their formation), and protect against the formation of liver, colon, and mammary gland tumors.
~ The Right Probiotic is the Key to proper digestion. Taking a probiotic supplement is an excellent way to replenish the good bacteria in your intestinal microflora. A quality probiotic product contains two different types of bacteria from " Lactobacillus and normal" Bifidobacteria species.
Probiotics Q&A
Q. How do I know if the probiotic is fresh?
A. First, look for a product that has a “use by” date or an “expiration” date clearly stated on the package, and one that does NOT require refrigeration. Probiotic supplements that require refrigeration often have been subjected to warm temperatures during shipment and storage that will inevitably kill off some or all of the bacteria.
It is very important that the product label guarantees live bacteria at the time of purchase, not at the time of shipment or manufacturing. However, from the laboratory test discussed, we see that sometimes these written guarantees are not worth the paper they are written on. There is one scientifically validated process that truly delivers live and vigorous bacteria to the intestine. This process suspends the probiotic bacteria in a moist paste and immediately seals the bacteria in a perfectly seamless, spherical, gelatin ball. This bacterial paste is completely protected from air and dryness so the bacteria are alive until the specialized gelatin dissolves – in the intestines. [Shaklee uses this process.]
Q. Why is it important to dissolve only in the intestine?
A. Lactic acid bacteria are not very resistant to the acids of the stomach. The harsh environment of the stomach destroys the majority of these bacteria.
This pearly-like coating technology protects bacteria from the stomach acid. The sphere is specially developed to ONLY dissolve in the intestines. Note: An Enteric coating is not enough protection as it does nothing to protect the bacteria while they wait for purchase on the shelf (or on it's journey through the stomach).
Q. What does this proprietary coating technology mean to me?
A. Shaklee's Optiflora Probiotic Complex has a patented triple-layer encapsulation that guarantees delivery of at least half a billion live, beneficial bacteria directly to the small intestines. This specialized process is an expensive processing step, but it has many advantages to you, because the pearl-shaped spheres actually “seal” the bacteria in the capsule. This protects them from air. Probiotic bacteria are anaerobic, meaning they do not require oxygen to live. In fact, the presence of oxygen may actually injure or kill probiotic bacteria.
By protecting the bacteria on the shelf and in the stomach, the probiotic bacteria successfully reach the intestine. As a result, there will be a greater number of healthy, intact bacteria that will colonize in the intestine.
But how do you know the bacteria will still be alive when you make your purchase? Look at the package. If there is no date stamp, don't buy it. If it says the company guarantees there was a certain number alive at the time of manufacture, put it back on the shelf. That means that the company is not willing to claim the bacteria are alive when delivered to the target site, the intestine.
If the product must be constantly refrigerated, put it down. How do you know it didn’t sit in a truck for two or more days, or was stored in a warehouse before it was shipped to the health food store? You don't.
Find a probiotic that says the bacteria are guaranteed to be alive in the numbers stated on the label until the printed on the package. Find a product using unique, cutting edge science to deliver the probiotic bacteria in a form that uses spherical, sealed, triple coating to protect the bacteria. That company has gone to extra time and expense to make sure you reap the benefits that probiotics can offer.
The critical key to a good quality probiotic supplement is that the bacteria must be alive to work. Only living probiotic bacteria can colonize in the intestines. A good quality probiotic nutritional supplement will have GUARANTEED levels of live bacteria at the point of consumption. Inferior brands will merely state levels of live bacteria at the point of manufacture.
Shaklee has options for you:
CitriBoost is an easy and enjoyable way to give your body the vitamins and balanced nutrition it needs. It mixes well with orange juice or your favorite protein shake. http://www.shaklee.net/profitandprosperity/product/20635

OptiFlora Prebiotic & Probiotic System: Taken regularly, Optiflora helps maintain a healthy colon. This advanced, two-product system uses new technology to protect beneficial microflora during the rigors of shipping, storage, and the acidic journey through your stomach. Other products claim live microflora at the time of manufacture. Shaklee guarantees the delivery of live microflora to your colon.

We are "not" living longer today - longevity facts from candidasupport@yahoogroups.com
A Letter From Bee--candidasupport@yahoogroups.com:
"Hi everyone,
Excerpts from: Are We Really Living Longer?, Caustic Commentary, WAPF (Weston A. Price Foundation), Spring 2007.
http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig20.php
An astute member has sent us some interesting statistics about centenarians [people who are 100 years of age or older].
From a video segment recently aired on Nova [2007 population 306 million], we learn that only one in 10,000 Americans will live to age 100 [0.33% of the total population].
US census data indicates that in 1990, there were an estimated 37,306 centenarians out of 248,709,873 . . . [or 1.5% of the total population].
According to numbers compiled at the University of Virginia, in 1830 there were 2,600 centenarians out of 12,866,020 people, or . . .[or 2.02% of the total population].
Summary by Year:
2007: 0.33% of total population were 100 years of age or more
1990: 1.50% of total population were 100 years of age or more
1830: 2.02% of total population were 100 years of age or more
So much for assurances that this generation will live longer than ever.
The best in health, Bee"
Ok Readers...
Questions--
Do you believe the environment is the issue in lowering our longevity?
Do you think what we are eating, and what is in our foods, is the main problem?
And if so--what are you doing to take better care of yourselves?
I suggest you visit my website and see the nutritional supplements there that can bring you a healthier life, despite the answers to the questions above--especially VIVIX--our anti-aging tonic. Watch the videos and learn HOW we age.

Don't FLUSH Your Old Medications
Years ago we were advised to get rid of old or unused prescription medications by flushing them down the drain [toilet]. But as our population continued to take more meds, and flush those unwanted pills and potions--not to mention our bodily wastes that also contained drug residue--no, they are not used entirely when you ingest/use them--it was discovered that measurable amounts of these substances ARE in our drinking water. Bad News.
It's a fact: Wastewater treatment plants are not always able to remove these residues, and when they enter a septic system they can destroy the 'good' bacteria needed for the system to work properly.
So you have these unused drugs in your medicine cabinet--and you wish to be environmentally friendly--what do you do with them? The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality recommends to ask at your pharmacy if they have a drug take-back program. Visit: michigan.gov/deqreswastecontacts for a list of waste collection or recycling done in your area.
If you can't find a local collection program, throw the meds [whether oral or topical] in the trash, in their original container.
First scratch out your personal information, and then wrap them in plastic bags or plastic containers with lids taped closed. Double-bag them in bags that have a secure closure to prevent leaks.
It is essential to remember that the way these drugs are disposed of may affect our environment as well as our safety. Keep these separate from any trash with food that might attract pets or wildlife.
Any specific questions on your responsibilities in regard to the proper handling of unused drugs in your community should be directed to your pharmacy or city officials.
NOTE: To reduce the use of, or replace the prescription drugs you currently take, incorporate safe, natural nutritional supplements into your diet. Visit: http://www.Shaklee.net/profitandprosperity
