colonize

$23.95 - 100 Caps

The human body is host to billions of microorganisms. Some of these are good guys and some are bad guys. There are more than 400 different species of bacteria in the gut alone, and who knows what number of parasites and viruses. One of the primary things I am addressing with Colon-ize is a very serious issue called “Leaky Gut Syndrome”. Even Edgar Cayce, considered the father of modern holistic medicine, spoke about the small intestines leaking poisons back into the general circulation of the body and being the primary cause of psoriasis. When the large intestines (also called the colon) leaks through its walls, many other negative conditions can arise. Among these are chronic food and environmental allergies, lowered immune function, blood sugar disorders, a build up of cancer cell toxins, chemical sensitivities, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, hepatitis, pancreatitis and chronic fatigue. I have always been attracted to colostrum and thanks to a few individuals, it is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a health super-food. Colostrum contains an impressive list of immune factors and is involved in increasing bone and muscle mass, burning fat, healing of all body tissues and regulating the balance of fungus, bacteria, parasites and viruses in the body. It is further reported to relieve arthritis, reduce lupus levels, relieve allergies, asthma, help multiple sclerosis and herpes infections. However, I personally am making no claims for these conditions with Colon-ize. There is ample research to support what colostrum can do. Also included in Colon-ize are five different types of lactobacillus. These help to stabilize and properly re-Colon-ize the colon with “friendly bacteria” in just the right milligram amounts creating a “synergistic” blend with the colostrum. The widespread use of antibiotics both as drugs and as used in animal feeds and care, has led to the mutations of “super-bugs”. This increased strength is not only found in bacteria, but also in viruses and parasites. The primary ingredients in Colon-ize which are colostrum, different forms of acidophilus, and FOS, (see descriptions below) are superior re-colonizers of “friendly bacteria” and superior opponents to the “unfriendly bacteria” and other bugs. To insure maximum absorbability into the body, enzymes have been properly added. Colostrum seems to absorb much better if taken in a capsule instead of a tablet. I have purchased the highest possible grade of colostrum and acidophilus for Colon-ize.

Description of Ingredients:

1.Colostrum (325 mg)

This is the first food that any of us receive straight from our  mother’s milk. It supplies us with an enormous amount of natural immunity. There are five types of antibodies which fight off bacteria, yeast, viruses and allergens. These are IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE and IgA. Colostrum contains all of them. Taking it as a therapeutic food supplement has tremendous value to our health. Colostrum enhances our immune system so that we can better prevent the many “super bugs” floating around from anchoring into our bodies and starting their destructive cycle. The biggest plus, in my opinion, is its ability to help with “Leaky Gut Syndrome”. The next 5 products are being listed under a category now called “Probiotics”. This means that they are producing the natural “good bacteria” needed for our colon health.

2. Lactobacillus Acidophilus (4 billion grams)

Research studies show that this form of lactobacillus has antiinflammatory properties by preventing the production of histamine-producing cells called eosinophils. It stimulates lymphocyte production and is stated to help reduce LDL cholesterol. (the bad kind) Over the years, it has been widely recognized for reducing recurrent vaginal yeast infections.

3. Lactobacillus bifidus

This form of lactobacillus can produce vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and folic acid. It prevents the growth of detrimental colon bacteria and actually makes some antibiotic materials. Bifidus can also help prevent diarrhea as well as constipation by producing short-chain fatty acids. Bifido bacteria counts decrease as we get older as a result of having less digestive enzymes.

4-6. Lactobacillus bulgaricus, thermophilus, & rhamnosus

These important types of lactobacillus form a supportive synergistic network as “good bacteria” necessary to maintain balance within the colon. From my clinical testing procedures, I find that bulgaricus supports the ascending colon, thermophilus the transverse colon, and rhamnosus the descending colon energies. Colostrum, acidophilus and bifidus support the small and large intestines as a whole. The main purpose is to properly Colon-ize the small and large intestinal tract and make them work smoothly from one organ to the next.

7. Fructo-oligosaccarides (FOS)

This is a complex carbohydrate also known as inulin and sometimes referred to as a prebiotic. It supports beneficial bacteria in the colon, particularly bifido bacteria. It has the ability to bypass the upper digestive processes and only work in the intestines. An excellent synergist for this formula.

8. Apple pectin

Used to support bowel motility and because of its high malic acid content.

9-13. Lipase, Catalase,, Amylase, Protease, & Lactase

These digestive enzymes are a trademark in my formulas. Their exact amounts allow Colon-ize to work to its fullest capacity. Lactase has been added for any dairy-sensitive people, although really no complete dairy products are in this formula.

14. Spirulina

This green protein is essential for its vitamin K. Of all the conditions I test (over 300), Vitamin K shows up weak the most often. I feel this is because it is not produced by any beneficial colon bacteria. It must be supplemented by diet. Also, Colon-ize uses this as a synergist to strengthen the lactobacilli in this formula.

15. Odorless garlic

Garlic sometimes called Russian penicillin is legendary in its uses for controlling all forms of detrimental colon bacteria, as well as viruses, parasites and fungi.

16. Dimethyl Glycine

This substance is used in Colon-ize for its oxygen and hydrogen releasing ions. It is an excellent free radical antioxidant.
