Gordon, MD, affirms, "There is magic in Jordan Rubin's idea about the actions of his Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>.  I employ this product personally to great advantage; for instance, it definitely changed my propensity to intestinal gas.  I've tried all types of products from around the world but nothing else has helped me to overcome bloating and gas like this combination of HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>."</p> <p align="left">Osteopath Joseph Mercola, DO, of Schaumburg, Illinois states, "I have put literally thousands of people on Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> which is incorporated into a full detoxification program.  The product is an incredibly potent and effective agent for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and most especially for this condition's subset, Crohn's disease.  I recommend it to all of my IBD patients."</p> <p align="left">Dr. Mercola's associate, board-certified gastroenterologist Joseph Brasco, MD, also of Schaumburg, Illinois, says<b>:</b> "I believe Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> is applicable as a food supplement for everyone, whether a person is sick or not.  ...Where people specifically find advantage in using Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> is in situations involving chronic disease of gut origin.  Since my expertise lies in the area of gastrointestinal disorders, this product is the primary therapy that I utilize on a routine basis.  It is one of the main tools I employ for treatment of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease."</p> <p align="left"><b>The Primal Defense</b><font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> <b> Delivery System and Its Components<br> </b>Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> is designed to supply the consumer with all of the living nutrients present in pristine and healthy soil.  There are three components<b>:</b></p> <p align="left">(1) The beneficial bacteria from both soil and plant life which include HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> combined with very hardy. plant-based probiotic organisms.  They are designed to resist chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid, hydrochloric acid, heat, cold, and extremes of pH.  These beneficial bacteria are extraordinary and can't be destroyed the way ordinary probiotics are.  Upon reading the label of Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>, you may notice that there are no bacterial counts or Colony Forming Units (CFU) listed.  That is because the probiotics contained in Primal Defense <font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> are integrated within the whole food substrate.  These microbes are so hardy that no need exists to include billions of CFU in order to get the job done.  In this case, it's not quantity; it's quality. </p> <p align="left">2) These HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> are delivered in a base of whole food concentrates, particularly green foods such as phytoplanktons and cereal grasses, which turn out to be an excellent medium for the probiotics.  Thus, the probiotics in Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> are not isolated but rather they grow within the whole food as not only the medium for growth, but also a rich source of nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and chlorophyll.  These green plants are predigested in this manner so that they are 100% absorbable by the human body. Moreover, live enzymes are created as part of the product's delivery system.</p> <p align="left">(3) Present are quantities of PhytoSterols and Sterolins, which are plant lipids that aid the immune system to function at its peak level.  These PhytoSterols/Sterolins are indispensable to attaining optimal health, but seldom do people ingest sufficient amounts of such plant lipids.  Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> furnishes the required optimal quantities of them. Instead of using three separate sets of nutritional components, this probiotic product delivers all of them together as one live food matrix.</p> <p align="left"><b>Leitia Devine, OMD, LAc, Enjoys Using Primal Defense</b><font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä<br> </font>"My clinical results with the use of Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> for the relief of patients with intestinal diarrhea, constipation, or bloating have been excellent.  I really enjoy employing that product because it works so well;' says Leitia Devine, OMD, LAc, a doctor of Oriental Medicine and licensed acupuncturist practicing in Newhall, California.  "Right now I'm finding it beneficial in the treatment of a chronic intestinal flu strain in the population of my area.  Very little of what's out there, including herbs, are touching the current strain of influenza, but Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> has become my product of choice for its treatment.</p> <p align="left">"Let me qualify my praise for the product, however; it's not knocking out this rare strain of flu all by itself, for adjunctive remedies are needed too.  But those unique HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> and other food stuffs in the Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> formula do stop any recurrence of my patients' infections.</p> <p align="left">"As for therapy against <i> Helicobacter pylori</i> infection  as a cause of gastric ulcer, nothing works better for its eradication than Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>.  And these probiotics are so much safer for my patients than taking antibiotics," says Dr. Devine.  "The product's friendly bacteria immediately coat the stomach's lining and stops patients' heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, and bloating.  Plus, Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> is absolutely a god send for the elimination of <i> Candida albicans</i> infections.  There is nothing I know of that could replace the HSOS<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> for destroying those two particular organisms, one a bacterium and the other a fungus.</p> <p align="left">"To be perfectly frank, I own an herbal company which manufactures my own set of remedies," Dr. Devine admits.  "But I've been unable to formulate a competitive product which relieves my patients' intestinal gas, bloating, bellyaches, and other symptoms of gastritis as well as does Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> ."</p> <p align="left"><b>Dr. Irv Rosenberg Counsels on Taking Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä<br> </font></b>"I have personally been taking Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> for over two years, and I am sure that is the reason I have perfect functioning of my gastrointestinal tract.  It is quite evident to me that having regular, comfortable bowel movements comes directly from daily ingestion of HSOS<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>," says Doctor of Pharmacy Irving Rosenberg, proprietor of The Apothecary, a compounding pharmacy located in Bethesda, Maryland.</p> <p align="left">"Each week I counsel up to 20 cancer patients about appropriate nutritional practices for restoring their health, and the ingestion of Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> invariably is among my first recommendations," Dr. Rosenberg states, "It is my intention that these cancer patients should maintain or improve their quality of life, and this product helps them accomplish it for themselves.</p> <p align="left">"The product works well for people suffering from the yeast syndrome, too.  Their improvements are subtle but steady.  They get better.  Since 1981, I have been counseling clients who are beset by candidiasis, and I was called a quack and heretic by the media, but that's not the case any longer.  Now I'm referred to as a visionary quite simply because products like Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> have come on the market and my pharmacy makes them available.  One of the wonderful parts about getting older is that we live the history of this evolving holistic health field," says Dr. Rosenberg, who recently reached his 7Oth birthday.</p> <p align="left">"More than eight million dollars of my compounding pharmacy's sales involves nutritional products.  Jordan Rubin's Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> has been reaching for the top of the market.  It's among my nutraceutical best sellers, and it has achieved that status in a very short time," the pharmacist added.</p> <p align="left">"In my opinion, these homeostatic soil organisms should be taken routinely by all persons interested in preventive medical practices.  For example, if you are about to travel to a third-world country, Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> should be started as a food supplement about a week before your journey as a prevention against getting 'Montezuma's revenge'.  It does a fine job as a repellant for parasites such as <i> Entamoeba histolytica</i>, <i> Giardia lamblia</i>, and the amoebic protozoa which causes dysentary," Dr. Irv Rosenberg states.  "For such prevention, take one or two doses twice daily.  Although containing probiotics, these pills don't need refrigeration since they become activated upon coming in contact with acidic liquid in the stomach."</p> <p align="left"><b>More Parasite Defense offered by Sheldon Nelson, DO<br> </b>Speaking with me from Warren, Michigan, Sheldon Nelson, DO, does a lot of soft tissue manipulation for his patients, but nutrition prescribing comprises most of his treatment, especially for chronic illnesses.  "Almost all people who consult me for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, chronic fatigue, candidiasis, Lyme disease, or infections get their gut flora changed to healthier consistencies by my prescribing Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> for them," advises Dr. Nelson.  "I invariably use one of the lactobacillus preparations, and the HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> of Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> are the top of the line, the 'Cadillac' of lactobacilli.  It does more than just recolonize when I prescribe it for my patient.</p> <p align="left">"As the patient's body undergoes its detoxification, a kind of Herxheimer's reaction often sets in along with increases in bowel function.  I have this patient drink large amounts of water, at least the number of ounces equivalent to half his or her body weight in pounds.  Take the poundage, divide by two, and realize that those are the ounce equivalents of water that should be drunk.  A 200-pound man would therefore need to drink 100 ounces of water, about three quarts daily," says Dr. Nelson.  "Taking so much water combined with Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> in quantity will lead them to good solid bowel movements and a normal gut.</p> <p align="left">"The HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> are particularly effective for the treatment of parasites, since they work to enhance that whole cleansing function.  One family had come to me en mass  six members  for the elimination of their hookworm," Dr. Nelson says.  All of them took Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> in amounts ranging from six a day for the teenagers to 20 daily for the father.  They finally got rid of their parasites.</p> <p align="left">"In another situation, Harriet Clauson visited me for the treatment of her chronic fatigue, systemic candidiasis, obesity, and the stress of raising eight young children.  Having no energy and experiencing overwhelming depression, she was at the point of collapse.  Mrs. Clauson realized that she was eating junk foods which kept her malnourished despite being grossly overweight," states Dr. Nelson.  "She was on antidepressants, prescription drugs to calm her gut, and antibiotics as therapy for recurrent bacterial infections of the sinuses and the ears and the skin.  My treatment program included Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> in a dosage that advanced in quantity each day, until she reached twenty-two daily.  She stayed at that dosage for a month until she could back off the level of therapy to only two a day.</p> <p align="left">"Harriet Clauson's improvement steadily took hold so that she no longer needed antidepressants or other prescription drugs.  She is eating correctly and liking the good food which allows her to lose excessive weight in a healthy manner.  To this point, Mrs. Clauson has lost 40 pounds and regained her energy," Dr. Nelson assures us.  "Parasites which were once thriving in her gut have left her body in well-formed stools. There is no longer diarrhea or constipation for this patient, and it is due to the excellence of therapy that comes from taking HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> faithfully," affirms Dr. Sheldon Nelson.  "I see the same results in a lot of people."</p> <p align="left"><b>Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, Uses Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> for Her Son's Autism<br> </b>Two years ago, through her contacts with the Autistic Society of Great Britain, registered nutritional counselor, Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, medical director of the Be Healthy Nutritional Consultants Clinic of East Anglia, a suburb of Cambridge, England, learned of Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>.  Parents attending this autism support group revealed that HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> had become an important part of their children's diet.  Dr. Campbell-McBride's seven-year-old son Normie, had been affected by autism from the age of three, and his condition was complicated by recurrent diarrhea.  So, from another mother at the autism society, this physician acquired capsules of the HSO<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> probiotic organisms specifically to relieve her son's loose bowels, which they did do.  Simultaneously, she observed that the HSOs<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> also slowly but steadily rid Normie of his autistic symptoms shown by his improvement in social interaction, the development of peer relationships, elimination of his use of repetitive language, and the stopping of repeat motor mannerisms.</p> <p align="left">A mother as well as a physician, Dr. Campbell-McBride is enthusiastic for Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font> as an autism treatment.  "Children with autism do not have normal gut functioning," the physician explains.  "Often they are infected with <i> Candida albicans</i> and clostridium, and the metabolites of these cultures cause havoc with the gastrointestinal tracts of these autistic children.</p> <p align="left">"Such infected children fail to develop normally.  But if the parents put their little patients on a dairy-free diet and supplement their food with Primal Defense<font FACE="Symbol" size="2">ä</font>, much improvement in their communication skills occurs," Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride assures us.  "By use of these probiotics, parents of autistic children will see a change for the better.  Many symptoms of their autism disappear and do not return.  This happened for my son."</p> <p align="left"><b> References</b>  <font size="2"><br> <font color="#FF0000">1</font>. <i> The Merck Manual of Medical Information, Home Edition</i>.
