“Daily probiotic dietary supplementation during the winter months was a safe effective way to reduce episodes of fever, rhinorrhea, and cough, the cumulative duration of those symptoms, the incidence of antibiotic prescriptions, and the number of missed school days attributable to illness,” wrote the authors, led by Gregory Leyer from the Department of Research and Development for Danisco in Madison.

Their study analysed and confirmed probiotics positive effects in children in maintaining immunity and preventing disease. To read a report on their study please click on the link below.

Infant Eczema

Marilyn Vine has found a good source of probiotics and prebiotics. I have been using this probiotic and prebiotic product for over 12 months as at July 2009. I recently attended a seminar where probiotics and prebiotics was discussed and after learning even more about the product I am so glad that I have access to it and would like to share it with other people.

The way that this product is formulated, the combination of probiotics and probiotics gives you a super synbiotic. This product combination has the ability to correct intestinal imbalance and may be able to do this in a very short period of time, like 24-48 hours. The most efficient form of super synbiotic is when it is prepared in a sachet form, and then blended in milk, soy or water prior to swallowing.

All the studies and research that I have undertaken over the past 13 years has led me to believe that many of our current ailments all stem from the fact that the person’s gastrointestinal tract does not function either efficiently or only partially. I believe that when you heal the gut you start to help the person’s body heal itself.

A study on the effect of fermented milk containing Bifidobacterium animalis on the health-related quality of life and symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome was undertaken by Guyonnet D, Chassany O, Ducrotte P, et al (2007).

Fermented Milk and Irritable Bowel

As many of you will be aware, what helps one person does not necessarily mean that it will help some one else. However, I believe that a powerful synbiotic may assist some people to overcome the following:

• May help to control or possibly eliminate most types of constipation over a period of time.
• May help to control bloating by reducing digestive gases.
• May assist in helping to heal the damage caused by a yeast overgrowth. People who consume reasonable amounts of sugar and who use antibiotics can unknowingly have yeast overgrowths. Until these yeast overgrowths are removed and their health improves they may not have even realised they had a yeast overgrowth!
• As mentioned in the above study on fermented milk; may be able to assist people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and may very likely improve the health of people who suffer from Crohn’s Disease.
• By healing the gut people may very well find that their allergic reactions decrease, for example asthma and hay fever. Wouldn’t that be wonderful for these people?
• May also help people reverse the effects of chronic disease. There is nothing worse than feeling fatigued all the time.
• There is also a possibility that by reducing inflammation and increasing a person’s ability to resist infections that it may help people who suffer from fibromyalgia-like symptoms.

A study on Reversal in fatigued athletes of a defect in interferon gamma secretion after administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus undertaken by Clancy RL, Gleeson M, Cox A, Callister R, Dorrington M, D’Este C, Pang G, Pyne D, Ericker P, Henriksson A at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology, University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia showed the first evidence of a T cell defect in fatigued athletes, and of its reversal following probiotic therapy.

Reversal of T Cell Fatigue in Athletes

Other studies tell us about Irritable Bowel Syndrome ((BS)
Another probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, was also found to be effective in reducing Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. Additionally, a probiotic formulation, VSL#3, was found to be safe in treating ulcerative colitis, though efficacy in the study was uncertain. Bifidobacterium animalis DN-173 010 may help.
