 Playing Russian Roulette With Your Health

Many people are still not quite sure what a probiotic is or the impact they have on human health.
More important, we are now facing a worldwide crisis in health care as we pay the price for the
continued overuse of antibiotics over the last 50 years.

Since the 1940’s, we have prescribed antibiotics for everything from colds to diarrhea in such
huge numbers that the future of our health has now at risk. Antibiotics actually work on
principles of poor science. Pasteur’s theories of bacteria being the causative agent of diseases
was (and is) so flawed that even he recognized that he was wrong. On his death bed he remarked
“Antoine was right. It isn’t the seed, but the ground.”1

When we hear bacteria we think immediately of disease. In fact, our skin, stomach and colon are
“crawling” with friendly microflora.... that is, friendly bacteria (probiotics) that are also killed off
by antibiotics. (Keep in mind that antibiotic means “against life” and probiotic means “for life”).

We had an individual call recently in tears as she related how she had “six diseases from
advanced Crohn’s Disease2 to Fibromyalgia. They have removed all but 7 inches of my large
intestine and bypassed my small intestine.”

I asked her first how long she had these conditions and she responded with “A little over a year
and it is getting worse. I want to die.” I then asked her when she had been on a major run of
antibiotics. She answered with “about two years ago they put me on antibiotics for strep’ throat
for a few months!”

What had occurred was that this lady, whose immune system was already in jeopardy, had her
last line of defense removed when the antibiotics took over. Crohn’s disease is not incurable and
is caused by diets high in chemicals, sugars, additives, low fiber intake and low vegetables and
fruits and, often, by the overuse of antibiotics.

While antibiotics certainly have their place in judicious use, they ultimately cause more problems
than they solve.

“Antimicrobial resistance is a problem because there is now less choice of effective drugs with
which to treat infections. The more an antimicrobial drug is used, the more resistance develops in
the germs it is used to treat. For example, only a few years after penicillin was developed,
1
Antoine Bechamp was a contemporary of Pasteur and proposed that imbalances in the body are the cause of
disease and not outside bacteria.
2
The incidence of Crohn's disease is increasing rapidly, and is more common now than ulcerative colitis, showing a
twenty-fold increase from 1940 to 1970. Crohn's disease is also called regional ileitis; it is a chronic, progressive,
inflammatory disease of the bowel. The symptoms are most commonly that of diarrhea and pain. Weight loss,
fatigue, and irritability are characteristic of the disease. The bowel movements often include mucus, blood and pus
because of the infection. Fat may occur in the bowel movements, making them bulky and foul smelling.
2
resistance to it was discovered in Staphylococcus aureus. This is a bacteria commonly found on
our skin as part of our microflora. Some Staphylococcus aureus (hospital acquired infections) are
now resistant to almost all antibiotics and can be very difficult to treat if they cause illness.
Following years of heavy use of penicillin several species of bacteria are now resistant to this
drug. Minor infections that were or are easily treated may become more serious if this trend
continues as the range of effective antimicrobials is reduced.”3

Worse yet, we are now seeing forms of staphylococcus that thrive on antibiotics! We are being
subjected to huge amounts of antibiotics in our food supply and consumer products including
canned foods and inkjet printer inks!

“Drug-resistant salmonella bacteria in European, Asian and North American animals have
caused diarrhea, blood poisoning and death in humans, WHO said. The guidelines also say use of
antimicrobials to promote growth in animals should be ended or rapidly phased out if the drugs
are also used for treating humans and no safety evaluation has been carried out.”4

"Studies suggest that people living in areas with intensive use of antibiotics as feed additives are
at greater risk of contracting antibiotic-resistant infections," said Ellen Silbergeld, Ph.D.,
Professor of Environmental Health Services at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health.

North Carolina and Iowa are each estimated to use three million pounds of antibiotics as feed
additives annually, the same quantity of antibiotics estimated to be used each year in human
medicine nationwide. At least one million pounds of antibiotics are estimated to be used as feed
additives annually in seven other states: Georgia, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Minnesota,
Mississippi and Missouri. On a per square mile-adjusted basis, Delaware is estimated to be by far
the most intensive user of all antibiotic feed additives, using three times as many antibiotics per
thousand square miles (187,000 pounds) as the next closest state, North Carolina (64,000
pounds). Two other smaller states join the ranks of the top 10 states on a per square mile basis,
Maryland (4th) and Indiana (9th).

Overuse of antibiotics in agriculture is widely regarded as contributing to the spread of

antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threaten human health. Antibiotics are added to feed not to treat
sick animals, but rather on the grounds that they may promote slightly faster growth or prevent
disease that could result from the crowded, stressful conditions.

"Feeding antibiotics to animals is not only a major cause of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the
human food supply, but also results in the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in animals and
in their waste," said Environmental Defense senior scientist Rebecca Goldburg, Ph.D., co-author
of the report. "Those bacteria can in turn colonize and infect farm workers, as well as
contaminate water, air, and soil."

"With antibiotics, the more you use them, the faster you lose them," concluded Goldburg.
"That's because bacteria become resistant in response to being exposed to antibiotics. Antibiotic
resistance is a serious and growing threat to human health, so it's just plain foolish to be feeding
vast quantities of antibiotics to chickens, pigs, and beef cattle."5

What appeared to be a wonder drug in the Second World War (penicillin) is now proving to be
our downfall as chronic diseases (such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and
Crohn’s)6 are rising at an alarming rate. This is due in part to the overuse of antibiotics which we
further exacerbate by treating with the very thing that is implicated as the causative agent of the
disease itself…a compromised immune system!

Now the Good News From Mother Nature

Existing within and without the human anatomy are literally billions and billions of bacteria.
They have names such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus sporogenes, Bifodobacterium
breve; strains too numerous to mention here. But the purpose of this microflora zoo is manifold.
Just a few of their myriad jobs are to assist in digestion, enhance the immune system and may
have the ability to reduce the risk of cancer.7

Bifidobacteria were first discovered in 1900 by Henry Tissier. He was the first to encourage the
therapeutic use of Bifidobacteria for the relief of intestinal disorders. It wasn't until 1950 that the
remarkable probiotic effects of this effective microorganism were first demonstrated. The three
specific effects noted were, elimination of pro-carcinogens, altering of procarcinogenic enzymes
and tumor suppression.8

Several months ago, we saw a young mother who complained that her day was planned around
knowing where every clean restroom was within 15 minutes. Her condition was diagnosed as
chronic colitis. Colitis, of course, is simply the lower version Crohn’s Disease.

We put her on a simple protocol of probiotics, altered her diet by excluding sugar and processed
foods and gradually increased her fiber intake. Within one month, she called and reported that
“I’m cured! I have normal bowel movements and needn’t worry about where the closest
bathroom is.”

The human intestinal tract contains over 400 friendly bacteria. So how does an individual choose
which probiotic he requires? Sounds a bit daunting. We’ve all heard of acidophilus. It’s in some
milk and yogurt products. But, what is it and what does it do?

 Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) is the most commonly used probiotic, or "friendly"
bacteria. Such healthy bacteria inhabit the intestines and vagina and protect against the entrance
and proliferation of "bad" organisms that can cause disease. This is accomplished through a
variety of mechanisms. For example, the breakdown of food by L. acidophilus leads to
production of lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other byproducts that make the environment
hostile for undesired organisms. L. acidophilus also produces lactase, the enzyme that breaks
down milk sugar (lactose) into simple sugars. People who are lactose intolerant do not produce
this enzyme. For this reason, L. acidophilus supplements may be beneficial for these individuals.

L. acidophilus has been researched and proven useful for the following:

L. acidophilus is the first line of defense as a replacement of the "friendly" intestinal bacteria
destroyed by antibiotics which, in turn can lead to colitis and Crohn’s disease. L. acidophilus can
prevent and reduce the recurrence of vaginal yeast infections,9 urinary tract infections and
cystitis.10 It improves lactose absorption for people who are lactose intolerant. It enhances the
immune system and, of course, helps the body prevent infection. It is also extremely useful in
preventing and/or treating diarrhea. Oklahoma State University conducted several studies
indicating that acidophilus consistently and safely reduced cholesterol by 10%-12%.11 And,
perhaps of primary use in the field of agriculture, The University of Nebraska proved that using
L. acidophilus in cattle feed reduced the incidence of e. coli by an amazing 61%.

Lactobacillus sporogenes

Lactobacillus Sporogenes was first isolated and described in 1993 by Russian Scientists L.M.
Wassowal and N.W. Nowotelnow and proliferates within the gastro-intestinal tract in a non-
invasive way characteristic of beneficial gastro-intestinal residents such as Lactobacillus
Sporogenes, Lactobacillus Acidophilus. L. Sporogenes is the only FDA GRAS listed Bacillus
probiotic. GRAS means Generally Recognised As Safe.

L. sporogenes has been extensively researched and proven useful for the following:

vaginitis.14 candida albicans, Staph Infections, SIDS, Epstein-Barr Virus, athlete's foot, scalp
nail and fungal infections, severe gastrointestinal upset and food poisoning.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus

Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a healthier species of good bacteria than acidophilus and colonizes in
your gut mucosa. Importantly, it relieves hypersensitivity reactions and intestinal inflammation
in individuals with eczema and food allergies. It supports normal intestinal pH. L. rhamnosus has
excellent stability over a wide range of temperatures and pH levels and inhibits the growth of bad
bacteria. It also enhances the immune system's resistance and has demonstrated antitumor
activity.15 Finally, it prevents food allergies caused by a "leaky gut" condition.i

Bifodobacterium longum

Bifodobacterium longum is a species that has a “sweet tooth.” It craves carbohydrates and, with
various enzymes, helps digest carbohydrates in the intestine. Of primary importance, is the
ability of B. longum to eliminate nitrates, a growing concern with the huge rise in nitrate use in
farming and home gardening. According to numerous studies, B. Longum may also significantly
inhibit development of colon, liver and breast cancers.

Bifodobacterium breve

B. breve is the most prolific bacteria in the human digestive tract and is important in the control
of proper digestive function. It has also proven to reduce rotavirus induced diarrhea.16
According to the Center for Disease Control “Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe
diarrhea among children, resulting in the hospitalization of approximately 55,000 children each
year in the United States and the death of over 600,000 children annually worldwide. The
incubation period for rotavirus disease is approximately 2 days. The disease is characterized by
vomiting and watery diarrhea for 3 - 8 days, and fever and abdominal pain occur frequently.
Immunity after infection is incomplete, but repeat infections tend to be less severe than the
original infection.”

While the preceding is a necessarily brief explanation of the ingredients in the Dr Smith’s Pro-
biotic formula, it should make the use of this formula for overall health apparent. We believe that
the use of Dr. Smith’s Probiotic Formula should be an everyday part of a healthy regimine.

Dr. Smith’s Probiotic Formula contains the following flora.

While Dr. Smith's Probiotic Formula is stabilized, we recommend that they be kept at
temperatures at or below 55 degrees. If you refrigerate Dr. Smith’s Probiotic Formula, please
allow it to return to room temperature (at least 15 minutes) before opening as the moisture will
eventually destroy or reduce the number of friendly bacteria.

End Notes

Leaky Gut Syndrome

While many doctors will argue that there is no such thing as leaky gut syndrome, the fact is that it does exist albeit
under differing names. More often it is called Candida-Related Complex (CRC).

7
Chronic candida refers to a cluster of systemic and gastrointestinal symptoms that some physicians report responds
to anti-candida treatment. Nationwide there are a minimum of 300 MDs who recognize and treat the condition.
There is no reliable information on it's incidence, cause, or effective treatment because it has yet to be researched. In
1990 the New England Journal of Medicine urged further study on the condition, but no research is being done at
present. Many patients demand treatment despite the lack of research because it is empirically effective, and other,
more conventional approaches failed.
History
In 1983, Dr. C. Orian Truss published "the Missing Diagnosis", a treatise on his success treating what were thought
to be psychosomatic symptoms with anti-candida measures. William Crook published "The Yeast Connection" the
same year, in which he reported similar positive results.

We recently had a client complain of horrendous rashes and yeast infections. When asked when they began, she
responded “Right after my anti-biotic treatment for h. pylori.” The anti-biotic treatment actually created the
problem. Doctors had now prescribed prednisone to reduce the rashes. This is absolute insanity. Her problem is the
reduction of friendly bacteria in the colon or leaky gut syndrome.

Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, indigestion, fatigue, weight loss, depression, brain fog and irritability are common
symptoms.

Doctors who recognize CRC vary in how they treat it, based on their own experience. Many (possibly all) use
prescription antifungals, such as nystatin, diflucan, and sporanox. Most practitioners and books on chronic candida
advise dietary changes as a cornerstone of treatment. The most common recommendation is the elimination of sugar;
in fact, an exacerbation of symptoms after eating sugar is a cardinal symptom of the condition. The elimination of
"junk-foods" (i.e. potato chips) is also often advised; other dietary suggestions differ depending on the source.

Unfortunately, the use of anti-fungals is also contraindicated in our experience because it actually exacerbates the
problem rather than helping it.

We recommend using 2 Dr. Smith’s Probiotic Formula capsules 3X daily until symptoms subside then reducing to 1
capsule 2X daily for maintenance.
