Here's
some not-so-cheery info to start your Wednesday.
According
to the CDC, over half of Americans take at least one prescription drug
every day, and sadly that includes kids.
In
fact, 1 out of 3 of us takes two or more drugs per day, and over 1
out of 10 takes five or more each day.
And
although the need for medications can many times be reduced or eliminated
through a healthy diet (more on that below), the fact remains that
medications ARE necessary in some cases.
So
it's no surprise that one of the questions about Super Shield
probiotic formula that I get very frequently at health conferences and
in emails is:
"Can
I take Super Shield in addition to my medications?"
The
answer most times is YES--with very few exceptions, probiotics and
medications DO mix.
As
a matter of fact, in many cases it's VERY wise to take them while on
medications!
You
see, one of the many problems with medications is that they can kill the
beneficial bacteria in your gut, creating an imbalance of flora (called
dysbiosis)...so you can end up even sicker AFTER you've taken your
prescribed drugs.
Plus,
medications leave an acid waste residue in your gut, which further disrupts
your flora balance and can pull your pH into the unhealthy acid range.
Here
is a guide that explains the issue between certain drugs and probiotics,
and how you can help overcome the problems...
Antibiotics
Problem:
In addition to the harmful, infection-causing bacteria that you WANT them
to kill, they also kill the friendly bacteria in your gut like
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This makes you prone to digestive
disorders of all types, leaky gut syndrome, and greatly impairs your immune
system.
What
to do:
Be sure to take
Super Shield at least one to two hours AFTER
taking antibiotics.
Antacids and acid
blockers (like H2 blockers or PPIs)
Problem:
They block or neutralize acid in your stomach and small intestine and
greatly impair digestion. Also, with less acid, your small intestine is
more susceptible to bacterial invasion from the large intestine (called
SIBO--small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and can result in gas, severe
bloating and pain.
What
to do:
Consider increasing dosage of Super Shield from
1 to 2 capsules per day as tolerated.
Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
Problem:
These too can block production of stomach acid which can hamper or stop
digestion completely. This leads to poor nutrient absorption, wastes that
don't move through the intestines like they should and harmful bacteria
overgrowth.
What
to do:
Same as for antacids (above).
Laxatives
Problem:
They speed the emptying of your intestinal contents, which includes many
friendly bacteria. This gives the dangerous bacteria the advantage and they
can overcome the good.
What
to do:
In addition to taking Super Shield,
drink at least 8-10 glasses of filtered water a day.
Muscle relaxers
Problem:
They decrease peristalsis, which is the contractions that move your food
through the digestive tract. This results in constipation, slow emptying of
the intestines, and also allows bacteria in your large intestine to move up
into the small intestine -- causing SIBO and IBS symptoms.
What
to do:
Same as for laxatives (above).
Immune suppressors
Problem:
They shut down the immune system for people who have had organ transplants,
AIDS, autoimmune diseases or other immune disorders. Since probiotics help
to strengthen the immune system, they may counteract and lessen the
effectiveness of the prescription drugs.
What
to do:
If you're taking immune suppressors, be sure to talk to your doctor about
taking probiotic supplements.
Make yourself less of
a "medication magnet"
It's
a sad truth that drugs that are supposed to treat sickness often times
actually make you sicker.
But
you can help fight back against the harmful effects of medications. Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula can help keep your intestinal flora
balance where it needs to be, regardless of what medications you take.
But
it doesn't stop there!
Because
while probiotics are very effective, it's also crucial to help make
yourself less of a "medication magnet" to begin with!
And
that, my friend, comes from having a healthy diet and ensuring good
digestion.
NOTHING
can undo the damaging health effects of an unhealthy diet and poor
digestion--certainly not medications and not even probiotics!
That's
where an eating program like Great Taste No Pain or
Great Taste No Gluten
can make all the difference for you.
Both
Great Taste No Pain
and Great Taste No
Gluten stress delicious, nutritious real foods--foods that provide the
nutrients, phytochemicals and antioxidants that are so crucial to great
health!
Plus
both systems show you how to pair foods together for efficient digestion
which is absolutely vital to having any degree of health.
Think
about it--having efficient digestion can help eliminate the need for digestive
medications, especially acid reducers and laxatives!
Plus
a good diet and strong digestion can help keep your pH in the healthier
alkaline range and keep inflammation low, which many times can help reduce
the need for pain relievers, NSAIDS and muscle relaxers!
Don't be a visitor
Although
medications are unavoidable in some cases, they are not always
automatically a given.
You
can do a LOT to help avoid visiting your neighborhood pharmacy on a regular
basis.
And
even if you must take medications, you can certainly help counteract their
harmful effects!
Sounds
like a win-win to me.
To
your health,

Nexium anymore!
Sherry:
I have only been on
Super Shield
for about two weeks and don't
need to take any more supplemental antacids.....it's wonderful!
I was on Nexium and after a
couple of months I was having discomfort at night and all my doctor said
was, "What do you expect? You are 68 years old and have a hiatal
hernia and you'll have to be on medication for the rest of your life."
I knew I didn't want have to
do that and then I discovered your information and ordered
Super Shield.
BTW, I was taking the
strongest Probiotic that I could buy at our super market health food store
and didn't compare with Super Shield
in effectiveness!
Thanks.
Joyce
