Hi John
Here are some not-so-cheery statistics to start your day.
According to a recent study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic, seven out of 10 Americans take at least one prescription drug every day, and sadly that includes kids.
Plus half of us take two or more drugs per day, and one out of five takes five or more medications each and every 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
- http://bluerockholistics.com/product/pross.asp
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 probiotics 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 your antibiotics.
Antacids and acid blockers (like H2 blockers or PPIs)
Problem:
They block or neutralize acid in your stomach and small intestine and can 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 slow digestion. This can lead 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 and incorporate more fiber into your diet to help naturally overcome constipation.
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, or have 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, 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 in an optimal range, 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 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
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
or Great Taste No Gluten
- http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
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 more efficient digestion which is absolutely vital to having any degree of health.
Think about it--having better 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!
Now that’s powerful!
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 friendly neighborhood pharmacy on a regular basis.
And even if you must take medications, you can certainly help counteract their harmful effects!
See what a difference you can make today.
To your health,

PPS: Sherri has seen a big difference in her colitis and IBS!
I just want to say thank you so much for your Great Taste No Pain system. I have Colitis and IBS, and have suffered for as long as I can remember. I came across your system on a Colitis blog, someone on the blog swore by the system and wanted to help others with this horrible disease, at that point I would have tried anything.
I don't think before I started this system of eating I ever have had a normal bowel movement (going from severe diarrhea to severe constipation).
I have only been combining my foods like you suggest for a week and for six days I have had normal bowel movements! I was on steroids and an antispasmodic daily, I took myself off them to see if I could and I am doing great.
I have had no pain in my stomach for me that's unheard of. I have two sisters with similar problems who are now trying your plan with great success.
Thank you so much,
Sherri B.
