ER Probiotics

Friday, February 20th, 2004

Personally I will only use ER probiotics - as they are designed with blood type in mind. As Dr D’s principle is “that we are all different” and our bodily needs are different too. I don’t think there is any one thing “for all”…… here is some info..

ABO Blood Type Specific Probiotics - 90 Vegi-caps Per Bottle
What are the health benefits of consuming friendly bacteria? Friendly bacteria restore intestinal balance, which results in the prevention of adherence of unwanted microorganisms, the production of a wide array of antibacterial and antifungal compounds, improved resistance against bacteria like E.coli, Salmonella, and H. pylori.
Friendly bacteria enhance immunity by promoting improved anti-viral immune system function, increasing NK cell activity, increasing S-IgA producing nitric oxide modulating cell mediated immune response, activating the reticuloendothelial system, promoting a more balanced production of cytokines, promoting resistance against some autoimmune processes, evoking anti-Tn antibodies, decreasing IgE-mediated responses, enhancing immune system response to administered vaccines, mediating against radiation-induced depression in white blood cells.
Friendly bacteria promote detoxification by inactivating and eliminating carcinogens, decreasing mutagenic compounds, decreasing activity of nitroreductase and azoreductase, decreasing activity of B-Glucuronidase, decreasing activity of B-Glucosidase, decreasing activity of ornithine decarboxylase, decreasing activity of tryptophanase, decreasing activity of neuraminidase and mucinase, decreasing levels of polyamines, cresols and indoles, decreasing ammonia, decreasing levels of nitrates and nitrites, enhancing liver function and promoting elimination of bile acids, enhancing cholesterol metabolism.
Friendly bacteria promote healthy digestion by normalizing stool volume and regularity, producing digestive enzymes that help digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fibers, decreasing intestinal permeability, decreasing food sensitivities, decreasing lactose intolerance, decreasing intestinal inflammation.
Friendly bacteria enhance bioavailability of nutrients by alleviating symptoms of malabsorption, increasing the absorption of zinc, calcium, iron, copper, manganese, and phosphorous, increasing the production of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, A, K, folic acid, biotin, and tocopherols.
All the probiotic supplements available today have one thing in common-the flora, or healthy bacteria, have been centrifuged and separated from their culturing media. This is not how one would naturally be consuming healthy bacteria. In The Right Probiotics we corrected this. The Right Probiotics provide live, friendly flora in their original culturing media. Each capsule thus offers the benefits of active friendly flora and the benefits and phytonutrients of the vibrant foods in which they are cultured. The use of organic, fresh freeze-dried Right beneficial foods as the culturing base, allows all 4 formulas to reflect the individual needs of each blood type. In addition to the Right foods, each Right Probiotics formula contains ten valuable strains of friendly flora, carefully selected and balanced to support the digestive needs and intestinal health of A, B, AB, or O blood types.

Probiotic O - These precious bacteria are cultured in a base of okra, spinach, blueberry, cumin, ginger, kelp, arabinogalactan, nutritional yeast and soy.

Probiotic A - These precious bacteria are cultured in a base of blueberry, lemon peel, carrot, green tea, parsley, cumin, ginger, arabinogalactan, soy and black strap molasses.

Probiotic AB - These precious bacteria are cultured in a base of blueberry, lemon peel, green tea, parsley, cumin, ginger, arabinogalactan, soy and black strap molasses.

Blood List “Cultures”

Friday, February 20th, 2004

I find it interesting how the different blood type lists have different
“cultures,” can’t help but wonder if the difference DOES have something to
do with blood type. I am on ALL the blood type lists except the A
Chatterbox, which I was on for a short while, and the AB lists.
On both O lists, dozens of people participate ALL the time, never a day goes
by when those lists are not VERY active. Some people post many times ALL the
time. Many people post a little at least some of the time.
The original A list goes through phases with its level of activity, even
though it has about the same amount of members as the O lists (over 500,
last time I looked at the count). But it has peaks and valleys of activity,
and those usually are dominated by only a small percentage of the people on
the list.
The other blood type lists (cooking, live right, the Zone, sports, etc.)
don’t have enough activity for me to draw any conclusions.
The A2 list seems to go throught its peaks and valleys of activity, but even

Hi,

I have a bad reaction to tomatoes, does anybody know if these means I could be a non-secretor? Or could I just be allergic to them?

Thanks

Excess mucus production

Thursday, February 19th, 2004

Hello everyone,

I am trying to investigate a condition of excessive mucus in the body. I don’t know if this is related to other conditions I’ve seen discussed on this group like leaky gut, or candida (I’m still trying to understand these conditions as well as understanding there differences).

For years I have had excessive mucus production. For example, I can remember for as long as I can remember that I would hack and spit mucus most all of the day. I would also especially do this in the morning for the first few hours after waking up. When it was cold outside, my nose would run excessively. Although I didn’t think it was a big deal at the time growing up, I have always had this problem, and it has gotten worse over the past 2 to 3 years along with additional allergy symptoms. What was interesting, I didn’t have the typical allergy symptoms until the last 2 to 3 years. For example, pollen didn’t effect me, no puffyness, no swelling, no problem around cats or dogs, etc…

Anyway, since being on ER4YT for past year, my symptoms get significantly better especially when adhering to the ER plan.

Here is the other interesting thing that happened to me when I was around 15 years old. I saw an iridologist(spelling?). An Iridologist looks at the iris and can determine many things going on in your body. For example he was the first one to identify this excessive mucus production in my “gut”. This is identified my the yellowish color around the pupil on the inside of my blue iris’. This causes my eye to be a “hazel” color as opposed to a solid blue color”. There are many other things that the Iridologist told me that was right on the money as far as symptoms I experienced at the time! Possibly there are others of you, especially in the fields of chiropractic, accupuncture, herbalist, who are familiar with the study of the iris.

Anyway, is the excessive mucus production related or not to candida, or leaky gut, or is it completely different? And is there any supplements which greatly improve this condition? ER4YT definatly helps, and maybe long term this condition will clear up completely or at least partially with ER4YT.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Elizabeth,

You said: the only one in the world with a patent pending because it guarantees the live flora actually reaches the small and large intestine. Most other products don’t have much live flora by the time you take it out of the bottle, and if they do, it gets killed in stomach acid.* * * * * * * Doesn’t Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) do the same thing as the Optiflora and as well?

Thomas,

We’ve been plugging your website for years on this list so don’t be afraid to do the same!

Part of the beauty of this list is the sharing of resources for finding hard-to-find items and to alert each other of great prices on the blood type related products many of us use. As long as you are answering a specific request and not just posting unsolicited advertisements, you’ll find us all very receptive.

We’re just thrilled to have you here!

I’m sorry to sound like a netiquette princess, but would it be
possible for folks to trim their posts a bit before hitting the
“send” button? The past few days, posts sent to this list have been
like snowballs rolling down a hill, gathering more and more snow as
they go, till they’re all over 20K in size. And they just keep
getting bigger! :) Please, if you want to reference someone’s post you’re responding to,
just include a few lines of their post in your message.
Thanks very much,
Lynn

colitis?

SPELT BREAD COOKING TIPS

Tuesday, February 17th, 2004

Hi Tabitha and others…

It is my understanding that spelt flour is VERY close to wheat flour and contains gluten. I have a friend who is a coeliac and she advises strongly against using it.

I have made Tabitha’s Oatmeal Spelt bread and its beautiful ! keeps for about 3 days fresh and tastes like ordinary brown bread. Spelt flour seems to exhibit the same characteristics as wheat flour…..

What do others think ?
