Product Review (submitted on July 13, 2016):

John R. Taylor, N.D. and Deborah Mitchell introduce the reader to a natural method of improving health by explaining about the trillions of microorganisms that live in the intestinal tract or “gut” that “work with the body and help maintain the delicate balance between the beneficial flora and bad bacteria that is necessary for well being.”

The authors write that this balance, which can be difficult to maintain because of poor food choices, use of antibiotics and other drugs, emotional stress, and environmental influences, can be attained by the use of probiotics, good or “friendly” bacteria that are found both in various common foods and in the form of supplements.

The book outlines The Core Program, an easy-to-follow basic approach that is designed to enhance energy, vitality, and well-being and protect against everyday stressors that deplete the supply of good bacteria. Discussion of the Core Program begins with an explanation of the effects of these stressors, which include poor dietary habits, lack of sleep, insufficient sunlight, stress, unhealthy beverages (e.g., coffee, chlorinated water, alcohol), use of antibiotics, smoking, and poor bowel habits. The authors then go on to list the probiotic species that will help restore and sustain a balance of beneficial flora in the gut, including: L. acidophilus DDS-1, L. casei, L. plantarum, B. bifidum, B. longum, Baccillus coagulans,B. infantis, L. rhamnosus, L. salviarius,Lactococcus lactis, E, faecium and S. thermophius.
